ios 6 codec quicktime

I upgraded iphone 4S to iOS 6 today and noticed that .mov movies created in iPhone Camera app, when copied over to Windows 7 version of Quicktime Pro version 7.7.2 have a problem with the codec. Movies I recorded before the upgrade play fine in Quicktime on Windows 7, but after the upgrade the movies have sound but no video. I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime Pro but the problem recurrs. I've made several short movie clips and they all suffer the same problem. Was someone in Quicktime division asleep at the switch when iOS 6 was prepared? Any suggestions?


I should have mentioned that the movies play fine on the iphone itself. They just don't show any video when played in Quicktime on Windows 7.

Same issue, on phone with apple. Iphone 4S, Win 7 32 bit, QT pro 7.7.2


I will get audio, but no video for the ones taken under ios 6, 5 not a problem. The video frame is either black, or transparent to see the desktop. Weird.


Don't know if it means anything, but the when looking at the movie inspector in QT the formats are the same, HOWEVER, the FPS is not.


ios 5 FPS 29.97


ios 6 FPS 29.98


Format: H.264, 1920 x 1080, Millions

AAC, Mono, 44.100 kHz

Some people have found a way to dump IOS6 off of their device, and reload IOS5 back on, but it is a tricky, time consuming, and perhaps a harmful way to go about it. Almost everyone agrees that their iPads and such were working just fine with the older IOS,5 and more problems are being found each day with IOS6. IOS6 is just buggy, period.


As I listed above, you can go back to an older version of Quicktime to see videos work again on your PC, but I also find I'm having problems with the App Store, some programs being prone to crashing when they weren't they way under IOS5, and the tech I was on the phone with, was stunned when I told them about how my iPad3 behaves now with doing backups to iCloud.


Used to be, you had to have your iPad plugged into a power source, locked, and left alone while it did it's thing. The instructions on the page for this function even says that. But now under IOS6, the instructions are the same, but the backup can now run without being hooked up to power, not locked, and they seemed surprised that is how it works now.


So, try the Quicktime work around with the video issue, or try risking doing a retrograde back to IOS5, of hope Apple get's busy fixing the IOS6 bugs. Pretty sad in my book.

Had same problem...transferred videos from iPad3 to PC and get audio but no video. So waited and now downloaded latest QT version (7.7.3) and now I have both, but frames are being dropped when played at normal speed. If I select "play all frames" it plays the video at half speed and obviously no sound. This is ridiculous. iOS6 and QT do not work - even with latest QT update. RIDICULOUS. Apple PLEASE fix.

Yep, did the same thing, loaded QuickTime 7.7.3 into my PC running XP Pro SP3, and now my movies made on my iPad3 with IOS6.1 will play, and they will now play in Realplayer too, but it is at times jerky, and looks like it is skipping a frame or 2 when it plays.


Nice try Apple, but still far from being right, much so when you consider how good things used to look on a Mac product when it came to making and showing movies.
