The QuickTime Player looping trick obviously requires a video to be stored locally on the Mac hard drive, or accessible through a network volume. There’s nothing wrong with that and that’s how most people want to repeat a video anyway, but the backward loop option is kind of nice, available in a variety of third party apps. Thus, when the video ends in QuickTime, it loops back to the beginning of the video and plays again from the start. Some apps like VLC and MplayerX allow for looping forward and back and back to forward again, but QuickTime Player only allows video looping in the regular forward playback direction. QuickTime Player will even loop a video that is fast forwarding or set to play at a faster or slower playback rate, so even if you set a movie to play at 32x it will still loop repeatedly at that fast forward rate.


In the example video looped here, we’re taking a time lapse recording from an iPhone and playing it repeatedly in a loop.

I think it would generally be more useful to have no support for viewing tiff files in the browser then to have Quicktime open the file, and block users from being able to save the file. Unfortunately Quicktime blocks saving the image unless you pay.

When I view the scan, Quicktime is loaded. When you scan documents, they are available via the web interface as TIFF files. I have Cannon iR3045 scanner/fax/printer/copier. I want to stop Quicktime from handling TIFF files without uninstalling Quicktime or disabling the plugin.
