Playing multiple movies consecutively

This is absolutely ridiculous that you can't select mulipule movies, right click, play, and have the result be that QT makes a playlist.

Severely ridiculous.

This thread should not be considered answered.

I'm not sure I follow this. So basically QT can't make playlists? If I download 10 QT files, I have to open up ten little QT players to see them? Can't I just open them in one player, and hit "next" to see the next one? I detest Windows Media Player, but I'm pretty sure it can do this. Why can't QT? And no, I don't consider the problem "solved" if everybody suggests just using another application, like iTunes, or Simplemoviex.

SimpleMovieX should be able to create a playlist for you.

The demo is free and it works slower than the full version. You should be able to create a movie playlist with it.

What is the codec/format of these moives? Open one of the movies (in quicktime) and hit the Apple key + i to get this info.

Can you provide the URL where you download these movies from?

Making one long file from 5 short ones would require the QuickTime Pro upgrade to "join" the 5 segments into one.
You can open all five files and close one window and open another if all you wish to do is view them.
But you can't join them together without the Pro upgrade.

Open all of the files.
Select the second one. Command-A (Select all) and Command-C (Copy).
Switch to video number one. Move the timeline to the end of the file. Command-V (Paste).
Repeat with the other 3 files.
Save As (to make a new file).
Done.

Use the Automator application to make a "Play All Movies" action and save it as a droplet.
Drag a folder of files (doesn't matter what format as long as QuickTime Player understands them) onto it.
Sit back and view (or listen).

Im not exactly sure if I understand what you are trying to do. If you have 5 video clips on iTunes and you just want the 5 to play independently but consecutively, just create a new playlist of the 5 movies like you would do with a regular audio playlist. Treat the video files just like you would audio files and make a playlist.

Isnt that what your original question was trying to solve?

I think you should send your feedback via the QuickTime feedback page.

Copy and paste the videos into a new player.

You answered your own question. Why not just try it.


What do you mean by links?
