How to play videos in iTunes 7?!?

This may be a really stupid question but I can't seem to get it to work. I've got a bunch of .MPG files - family videos comverted from a camcorder and such. I want to use iTunes (v7) as a way to organize everything and have it available for playback. How do I set it up so that when I click on one of these movies, the thing plays in a separate window (perhaps Quicktime screen or some other player) in a reasonable size, not in the iTunes little preview window? I'll be viewing them on my laptop, not a video iPod, so I need them displayed in a largish window. Does iTunes do this or do I need some sort of additional add-on or 3rd party script or something?

Under "General" in iTunes Preferences, does "Play
Videos in.." allow you to set the playback of videos
as you desire?
kind of. It does spawn a new window, which is great (thanks!). But it seems to be at a lower resolution - does iTunes compress further or display at lower res? What is the function that people are supposed to be able to use to use iTunes as a media center to watch movies?

  • How to play dvds in itunes.

    how to play dvds in itunes.

    iTunes does not play video DVDs. If you want to play video DVDs on your computer, you need to use a DVD player application, something which is bundled with many, though not all, computers. You cannot stream a video DVD to your Apple TV with such a player, if that's your intent. If you want to play movies on your Apple TV, you need to purchase or rent them from the iTunes Store.

  • Green Screen when trying to play videos in iTunes.

    Not sure how do describe my issue. But lately when playing videos though iTunes, they play fine for about 30 seconds and then the screen goes solid green ( http://tinyurl.com/loa5a ), but the sound continues. I've tried multiple videos from episodes of Lost that I've downloaded from the iTunes store to music videos, to video podcasts. None of them are immune to the dreaded green screen. Is this a known issue or something maybe unique to my system?

    Anyone have any ideas or need more info, if so please let me know. This is very frustrating.

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

  • Sound delay while playing video in iTunes.

    Dear community,
    When playing video in iTunes the sound is increasingly delaying and after approximately 10 seconds it becomes almost impossible to watch the video. When you move to the other part of the video, the sound is back to normal for a short time and then becomes delayed again.
    When video is playing, it is possible to hear that sound is not smooth, but has very minor breaks. The video is downloaded to the computer. I opened this video with Windows Media Player and QuickTime and it works good, but, unfortunately, it does not work correctly while playing in iTunes player.
    I experience this problem on Windows 7 32-bit.
    Please, help with this problem.
    Sincerely,
    Roma

    Solved.
    Found this great solution:

    This is what worked for me for Windows 7 — Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices > >>> Right click on your Speakers and Headphones and go to Properties > Advanced
    Now… bring the quality of your sound down – I changed mine from 24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) TO 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) — it works like a charm for me now! Hope this helps.

    And another one, but not tested:

    I am one of many that had the synch problem. I say HAD because I finally found a fix or possibly an incorrect setting in BIOS. I noticed one of the sound settings in Bios was set to HD.
    I had the option to change to AC97. saved the Bios and rebooted……hooray problem solved. I also noticed that unlocking cores made the symptom even worse. All is running very well with all cores unlocked and 24bit 192000Hz set on the sound card.
    for information I have a ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard and
    Xonar DS sound card
    Hope this helps.

  • How to play videos in Nokia C2-02 ?

    could u pls help me how to play videos in c2-02 mobile?
    Moderator's notes: The post was edited. A more appropriate subject is provided.

    If you want to play videos present in your pc on your phone, they must be converted to phone supported resolution.
    You have to convert the high resolution videos to low resolution 320X240, MP4 format.
    You can do so with Format Factory software for PC.
    Get it at www.pcfreetime.com
    Any further help, feel free to ask.

    What a bummer.
    Now I'm stuck with a just-about useless camera. I really need something as small as the FH1 (it's TINY).
    Hard-drive camcorders record MPG2, which I assume makes them just as useless.
    Is then MiniDV the only choice for a sub-$500 1080i/p camera that will allow me to edit footage without converting?
    If so, any tips on the smallest one out there?
    Google came up with Sony's DCR-PC55, but it's four years old and only does SD...
    Do you want good OR do you want cheap? That is the decision you need to make. Also, tiny tends to be the opposite of good.
    P.S. AIC converted it best; ProRes(Lo/HQ) left it pixelated for playback. But it takes about an hour a minute, and increases the file-size tenfold, so it's no good anyway.
    Yes, your actual editable video file is going to be 10x bigger than a MPEG-4 file. That is what you want.
    P.S. 2 "....FCP is converting your video behind the scenes which is causing all your problems."
    If that's the case, then my oldish MacBook Pro (2GHz Duo, 2GB RAM) has enough juice to play the 640x480 MPG4 clips smoothly, but not the HD ones. Could the latest MacBook (2.5/6/8GHz, 8GB RAM) could play the 1080p30 clips smoothly?
    No, you still have the same problem. MPEG-4 files are non-editable. You really need to convert to an editable format and then bring that into FCP. MPEG Streamclip is going to be your best choice.

  • Black screen while playing video in itunes

    I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

    I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
    Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.
