  • Sound drops while playing DVD

    Hopefully I can describe this issue accurately enough for some assistance.
    My MacMini is connected to a TV via DVI and a 3.5 audio connection. Recently, when watching DVDs through Front Row, I have been noticing audio dropout during loud scenes in movies. The sound does not go out totally it just reduces, almost like it looses stereo, then jumps back up to normal volume when the scene background noise decreases or stops.
    I've also noticed that sometimes the sound is not perfectly synched with the video image, this is rare though and is so slight you can barley notice sometimes.
    Any idea why this might be happening? Is there anything I can do with my system configuration to help this?

    I'm sorry no-one has been able to help you. I'd say that was rare, but looking back at some of the other threads you've started I can see why you might conclude that Apple Discussions isn't much help!
    While I can't help you directly because this is not a problem that is familiar to me, I use a Mac mini (older G4 model) to play TV content (Real media files) on a TV, and Front Row to access and play a ripped DVD library. I don't experience either sound dropout or audio-sync issues you describe, but it does make me wonder what type of files you're playing, and how (without going into details since discussion of ripping methodologies isn't allowed here) the DVD content is put on your system for replay. In other words, my first suspicion would be whether something in the ripping process is causing these problems.
    Given that I can't offer a similar experience I realize this isn't all that helpful, but perhaps that might get the ball rolling - with luck!

  • Quicktime Player Pro- Problems playing dvds!!!

    hi
    i've download the quicktime player pro so i can use it with my new ipod (30GB photo, video, music). I have got the key and typed that in and can now use quicktime player pro.. BUT when i go to open a file or folder and play the dvd.. it does not let me on the d drive i double click it to open and it goes into audio and movies and links off into each seperate thing within the dvd.. so i tried to play it by dragging it from the my computer bit n dropping it on quicktime player.. butit comes up with buffer overrun deceted. programmes: c\: programme files\quicktime\quicktimeplayer.exe
    A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted... and so on. im not very good with computer so i would be really happy if you could help me please!!!thankyou!!!

    QT cannot by itself play video on DVDs. Apple sells a mpeg2 component that plays some DVDs but there are significant limitations which you should be aware of before purchase. See this article for those:

  • No sound with Firefox. PC sound is OK. DVD's play sound fine. Firefox stopped.

    There is no sound with Firefox 5.0.1 or prior version (updated Firefox in attempt to fix). PC sound work fine. Play Solitaire, sound OK. Play DVD, sound is OK. Not in Firefox. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash (twice) to no avail. Firefox says all plug ins are up to date.

    Hi there,
    UPDATE2:
    Apparently using another Firefox profile the plugin-container.exe process is no longer take too much memory. However I'm currently seeing a little increase in using resources like threads and memory allocated.
    It seems to me that the plugin-container.exe process and plugins installed don't work very well together. Sometimes the firefox.exe process still exists even when I had exited from the main menu (Exit).
    Hoever I'm not going to continue this "test" since it is going to take too much time for me.
    This thread could be intended as closed for me.
    Thanks Chris.

  • Can't play dvd's in quicktime

    I'm trying to convert movies to MP4 to get them on my I-pod video. I get how to do that, but I'm trying to simply open a DVD on quicktime, and i can't! I open finder, double click on the DVD name and all that comes up is VIDEO_TS, and all i can get from there is a bunch of random files... Does anybody know why i can' open DVD's on quicktime?

    QT does not play DVD movies natively. Apple does sell a mpeg2playbackcomponent that plays some DVDs but it has a number of limitations, including that it will not play mpeg-2 in transport stream format. It also will not play encrypted commercial DVD movies or sound that is in AC3 format. It does not export sound from mpeg2. Read the FAQ for the component here:

  • Mail app no longer plays QuickTime sound files.

    Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to play sound files attached to mail within the app.
    In other words, if someone sent me a sound file, it would appear as a QuickTime sound within the body of the email and I could play it.
    That was a very nice feature.
    Now sound files will not play within the mail window. Instead, I need an external player such as QuickTime Player or iTunes.
    How can I get that feature back?

    What specific sound file types will not play as Mail attachments in Mountain Lion?
    I just sent an .m4r (ringtone), mp3, and .m4a (iTunes aac music) files as Mail attachments. The first appeared as an icon that played via QuickLook from within Mail. The second two appeared as black, QuickTime styled, embedded music play bar attachments. They played back flawlessly.
    Have you installed any application recently that may have hi-jacked the default QuickTime audio playback? It would have done so silently, or popped up a dialog requesting to perform the hi-jack on a list of music file formats.
    You may have to select each particular audio file format in Finder Get Info and restore QuickTime in the Open with section on that panel.

  • Sound Distortion playing DVDs with Audigy2 Va

    Last time I have problems playing DVD movies on my computer: The sound is distorted
    by scratches like an old vinyl. I am using a SB Audigy 2 on Win XP. I have tried several software DVD players, reinstalled the old drivers from CD and cleanly installed teh newest drivers via internet auto update. I also tried to update my VIA chipset drivers, deactivated several background programs etc.
    I found out that disabling the sound acceleration in DXDiag removes the sound distortion but then the sound (speech, effects) within a movie are extremly quiet compared to the music.
    Another thing: First I deinstalled completely the software and drivers from my audigy to replace it with new ones. Then I had to notice that the new Audio Control Center does not support the option to send bass-frequencies to my subwoofer. I could set the speakers to 5. but had no chance to get my subwoofer working. At the moment I have status quo by using new drivers, but my old creative applications for configurating my speakers.

    Ijust checked the preferences, go to Disc Setup and on the bottom in the Audio section, check off the box that says "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" see if that helps.

  • Play dvd created with iDVD won't play in QuickTime

    Hi!
    Just a simple question:is it possible to play the dvds I created with idvd in quicktime? and if so, how?
    If not, are there any other players one could recommend for detailed video analysis and coding? Ideally I need to be able to forward to a specific time and to take notes at the same time (would need that for my research project).
    I can not open the dvd with QuickTime, even when I set it as the default player in system preferences.
    The only thing that works are VCL and the pre-installed DVD player.
    I have QuickTime Player Version 7.1.3.
    and the movies are downloaded from my digital camera with iMovie 6 and then exported and burned with iDVD 6
    Many thanks!!!

    Just a simple question:is it possible to play the dvds I created with idvd in quicktime? and if so, how?
    Yes and no. QT does not play DVD material (VOBs in VIDEO_TS folder) natively. In order to play the video portion of the "muxed" data stream requires the purchase of Apple's MPEG-2 QT component ($20). Even then, most commonly used "muxed" audio formats are not supported. Since QT does not properly handle/convert this material, Apple included the DVD Player as you have already mentioned. This application will play both DVDs and VIDEO_TS folder VOBs on your HDD.
    If not, are there any other players one could recommend for detailed video analysis and coding? Ideally I need to be able to forward to a specific time and to take notes at the same time (would need that for my research project)
    MPEG Streamclip (a free MPEG based third-party application), will also play VOB files (single or multiple file series), allow scrubbing to a particular time, select segments, and, if you have the QT MPEG-2 component installed, perform minor edits, apply "on-the-fly" filters for bightness, contrast, saturation, volume, de-interlace, crop/scale, etc. as it converts to QT compatible formats (if your iMovie projects are no longer available) or third-party formats for which you may have other installed components. While it will provide limited "stream" information, I would not call it an analytical tool. (E.g., provides audio/video information like formats average data rates, audio sampling rate, etc. but not graph/read things like an instantaneous data rate -- something I have been seeking.)

  • Satellite L40-14F: No pic but sound playing DVD using WMP

    It is impossible to playback any DVD (no video), but there is sound.

    If you want to play DVD using the Windows Media Player then you will need an special codex.
    I would recommend using an software like Power DVD or WinDVD to play DVD..

  • Why doesn't QuickTime 7 or QT-PRO or the MPEG 2 Plug-In play DVD\VOB files?

    I can’t tell you how ripped off I feel. Please explain why you don't come out and say “QuickTime 7, The latest, greatest, best thing since sliced bread, doesn’t play DVD\VOB files. Neither does the $32 QuickTime-Pro nor the $23 MPEG 2 Plug-In. Why did I have to pay $55 dollar to find this out? The ads are deceptive. Maybe it’s by accident, once you know it doesn't play commercially-produced DVD movies and you re-read the ads you notice that they never come out and say it will play commercial DVDs either. The only place it actually comes out and says it does not play commercial DVD Movies is in the last sentence of the help file that says you need to purchase the plug in to play VOB movies......
    Here are the links:
    QuickTime page:
    Never actually says you will be able to view this type of store bought DVD but it shows pictures of them(king Kong).
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/win.html
    QuickTime PRO Page:
    This is the really deceptive page, it shows a scene from Kong Kong and the "recording tool bar" over it as well as out and out deception like where is says "Even those who simply like to watch movies or movie trailers in full screen and save their favorite movies for viewing later will enjoy using QuickTime 7 Pro."
    it also has a right info bar titled
    "Don’t Steal Movies”
    followed by
    “If you see something you want to watch again and again, QuickTime 7 Pro lets you quickly save your favorite content to your hard disk.
    (Picture of menu showing “Save as QuickTime Movie”)
    “Professional studios around the world spend millions of dollars and man-hours producing commercial entertainment. Please don’t steal their work or in ten years, it will cost $50(2) to see
    a movie in the theater."
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/win.html
    Finally the truth, "Using the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component with VOB files" support file page:.
    The first paragraph says this:
    "If you have the optional QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component"(a Link to the store) "installed with QuickTime 6 or later, you can play back video in Video Object (VOB files), which are used in the DVD-Video specification and contain the mutiplexed audio and MPEG-2 video data."
    Then in the very last sentence on the page it says "Please note that the component will not play back encrypted VOB files, such as those found on commercially-produced DVDs, in QuickTime Player."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300516

    Mr. Napoli, I fully understand that it is illegal to circumvent the anti-coping protection however, it is my Understanding via "Fair use and Practices" provisions in the US copyright laws that I can make a copy of my DVD for personal use. If this was truly illegal then Apple's MAC app "HandBrake" is illegal. So lets not pretend the functionality to move/copy commercial DVD content to your IPOD for viewing is outside of Apple's realm, it’s not. As far as being “clearly stated” the information would have to be presented on the same page as the offer to purchase in order to be “clearly stated”. Apple puts the info in a “support” FAQ you would only read after you realize the software doesn’t do what you expected. The application support guys at my local store told me today that “everyone thinks that QuickTime will let you watch commercial DVDs” Apple need to offe3r a “FREE” update enabling this functionality.

  • How to play DVDs in Quicktime Pro

    I recently purchased QT, and QTPro. I was trying to transfer DVDs to my 60GB Video ipod, but I cannot even open any movie in Quicktime. Now my goal is just to get a DVD to play in quicktime. I choose file->open file, and select the drive my video is in, and there are three folders, JACKET_P, VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, and the only one with anything in it is the VIDEO, but I open it and nothing is listed unless I change the "files of type" (prompt on bottom of open dialog box)from movies to all files. When all files are listed, I get a bunch of VTS_## files (and they are either VOB or BUP type), and a VIDEO_TS file, and it is an IFO file. If I choose the last one, I get the error message -2048: the file is not a movie file, and the same happens for all the files. I hope you can shed some light on my problem. [QTPro is registered, my PC does meet all the requirements, and I have tried numerous DVDs. If I right-click on the movie in windows explorer, and choose properties, then autoplay, I am given the option of what I would like to use to autoplay the movie. QT is not listed, nor can I browse.]

    I don't think I've seen Apple or anyone else advertises QuickTime as being able to play DVDs, so I'm not sure why you assumed that it would. To answer the original posters question, I'm not particularly familiar with how to do it under Windows, but it is most certainly possible to convert video from DVDs to a format that can be played on the iPod. There are several tutorials around the web that will tell you how to do it step-by-step.
    (BTW, Apple has this to say about DVD playback in QuickTime:
    "Can the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component play back DVDs?
    The MPEG-2 Playback Component can play back MPEG-2 files on non-encrypted DVDs. Professionally produced, commercial DVDs (such as Hollywood movies) are usually encrypted with special anti-piracy software, called Content Scramble System (CSS). In order to view these DVDs, decryption software is required and is included in DVD players. But decryption software is not included in QuickTime or the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.")

  • Playing dvds with quicktime

    i just purchased the component to quicktime that allows me to play DVDs on quicktime but i still cant get my dvds to play in quicktime. when i put the dvd into my computer it doesnt open up with quicktime and when i look at the differnt files there are so many different video files on the dvd and none of them open up with quicktime. how do i get my dvds to play in quicktime now that i downloaded the mpeg2 player for quicktime?

    Even though it is not encrpypted it could still be in transport_stream format and the component will not play it. Try this freeware. The Mac version will play transport_stream, so maybe the new Windows version will also. Mpeg StreamClip

  • Satellite 1100-Z14: I get the only picture but no sound when playing DVD's

    I know mine is a fairly old notebook,but despite updating with latest firmware, I have an intermittent problem when playing DVD's (Reg 2) in that I get the picture but no sound, particularly with some older DVD's.
    CD's are ok.
    Toshiba repair agent says it is a software problem and they only deal with hardware problems.
    Can anyone tell me how I can deal with this problem please ? ( apart from getting a later model ! )

    I think I may have stumbled on the problem, I use IntervideoDVD7 and under audio effects there is an option
    'Sydney Theatre' etc, I changed it to 'off' and the sound cames back. maybe I should study their manual a bit more !

  • Playing DVDs with 5.1 sound

    I connected Bose Companion 2 speakers to the stereo jack of MBP. The problem is when I play DVDs that come with 5.1 Dolby Digital Sound, some of the sound effects cannot be heard as they are channels not picked up by the stereo jack. Is there any way that they can be mixed into 2 channels so that they can be heard thru the speakers ?

    Ijust checked the preferences, go to Disc Setup and on the bottom in the Audio section, check off the box that says "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" see if that helps.
