Another person having difficulty with QuickTIme on Windows

Posted by mefoster at 2010-07-04 18:43

I'm using Elan 3.9.0 under Windows Vista, and I need to annotate some .mp4 files (which require a QuickTime player). I've read the previous messages and looked at the log files, and I have copied QTJava.zip into c:\Windows\System32 which seems to have partially fixed the problem -- it no longer hangs on "initializing", at least.

However, I still don't get a player for my videos in the Elan window. I suspect these two messages from the log file point to the problem:

1. no QTJava in java.library.path

2. java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.security.AllPermission <all permissions> <all actions>)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at quicktime.QTCallbackManagement.registerForCallback(QTCallbackManagement.java:24)
[ ... rest of backtrace ...]

Is there any suggestion on how to fix this? I have a QTJavaNative.dll on my computer, but not QTJava.dll.

Thanks a log,

Mary Ellen Foster

Is there any suggestion on how to fix this? I have a QTJavaNative.dll on my computer, but not QTJava.dll.

Additional information: I tried copying QTJava.dll from Quicktime 7.1 into the Elan directory, but that just caused a different exception: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJNative.dll already loaded in another classloader at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at quicktime.QTSession.(QTSession.java:89) at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.player.QTMediaPlayer.(QTMediaPlayer.java:144) [ ... etc ... ] This is really causing me problems at the moment -- any suggestions?

So for now, I'm transcoding all of my videos to .wmv and that seems to be working. But this is still quite annoying and it would be good if it worked with the original videos ...

Well, don't I feel stupid now -- the solution to using Elan with Quicktime videos on Windows is:

1. Install Quicktime
*then*
2. Install Elan
3. Go to Edit - Preferences - Edit Preferences, and under Windows choose "QuickTime for Java" as the media framework.

Works great. Just posting it here for posterity.

Thanks for that message - I've been trying everything, and simply uninstalling ELAN then reinstalling it and choosing the Quicktime for Java solved it!<br>

Yes, that's true. Nowadays it is necessary to install QuickTime before ELAN, because the ELAN installer should create an access policy file.
I don't know where best to document this, in the manual or release notes or somewhere else.
