Video playback problems for Mac/iTunes

When iTunes is in video playback mode things go haywire. The video stops (the audio keeps playing ok) then skips forward. Sometimes it will play ok for a few minutes but always starts up again. I have done the profrences thing. No luck. Anybody found a work-around to this problem while Apple gets it's groove back re: iTunes?

I have the EXACT same problem!! I have gone through the same steps as you and more. I have reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, emailed support, and they responded as follows: " Dear John, I understand that you're unable to hear any audio when playing this video, purchased from the iTunes Store. I'd be happy to help you with this. Fortunately, this issue can usually be corrected by simply reinstalling QuickTime." I really think it sa something to do with iTunes 7. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions. Something to do with the audio/video drivers?

Movie playback problem for PC iTunes

Hello,
I recently began having an issue with playing movies in iTunes. For some reason, I am no longer able to play music videos / movies in my iTunes.
When I click to play the movie, the screen is completely back and the timer / play length, is already at the end of the movie. However the movie does start at the correct spot, as I am able to very briefly hear the audio. Additionally, if I were to scroll through the movie I could see the visual, however if I click to a certain area I will just see a frozen frame and the movie will fail to play.
I followed all the trouble shooting steps listed by apple and other steps like making sure all the software is up-to-date, etc.
Anyone have any similar issues or advice to tackle this problem?
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jordan

I have similar problem on both my Windows 7 Laptop and XP desktop. Movies will not start in my case, but if i use Windows media player they work fine. Both running the latest 10.x. version

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12.The clip keeps stuttering. The whole video is 45 minutes long, is HD and has added music tracks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•How many and what speed are your hard drive(s)... ie 5400rpm or 7200rpm or?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have an orange line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
•What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
•What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
•Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
•For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
•-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

Hello all,
I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!
-Sean

Two things to keep in mind
There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"

Driver-related video playback problems.

Hi,
I've been experiencing less than stellar video playback for a while. My system is P4 1.6A 256MB RAM with msi FX 5700 128 MB running on WIN98 SE . The thing is that before upgrading my drivers to 50.XX series , I never had video playback problems, totally smooth, then after the 50.XX series, certain video clips froze for a second when opened, then when I installed the 5306 drivers, my system used to freeze for a second before video playback and video seeking stuttered and froze a lot. Since upgrading to 56.55 and then 56.64 version , the freezeups and stutters are gone but now the quality of the video playback is really crappy and also there is this horizontal border around the video and it looks kinda 'squinched?!?' . This erratic video behaviour has been going on through out my upgrade from a FX5200 to FX5700 card and with both MSI and nvidia drivers. Presently I'm using nvidia non-branded drivers 56.64. Also, why do these newer drivers keep dummy-proofing there options pages, you cannot even experiment enough with the settings anymore and I'm afraid Riva tuner or powerstrip might not work with the newer releases.
I haven't experienced any problems with video games, just video playback, either windowed or full-screen. I would really appreciate any help with this problem, its getting to be like an itch at the back you just can't scratch.
Thank you

"fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

Your question doesn't make much sense.
What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

Volume Logic for Mac iTunes

Does anyone have pro's & con's concerning Plantronics Volume Logis for Mac iTunes? I'm looking for plug-ins that would enhance the iTunes sound quality.
Thanks,
Michael

iVolume claims to work with iTunes' Sound Check to play songs at the same volume. The iVolume FAQ says the adjustment will carry over to burned CDs & iPods, too. It will not work on Music Store downloads due to DRM.
I've read people on this forum say it works pretty well.

Embedding YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac

How can one embed a YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac 2010? The video tutorials do not show the same Power Point (for Mac) that I'm using. Even if I can just save (and retrieve) the file I just might be able to convert it to an MP4 for YouTube. I've tried keepvid and it wants a valid file format. The default is a text which doesn't work. I've spent about 8 hours over the past 2 days trying to figure it out. HELP!!!!!!

CANNOT download QT-mpeg-2-playback component for mac

CANNOT download QT-mpeg-2-playback component for mac because OS X is 10.9.2
I need it to view movies with Streamclip - what do I do?
Would like to use imovie 10 to edit but cannot

Many folks using Mavericks have bought the playback component from Apple so don't know why you are unable. You don't install it just follow the instructions on Squared5 site. Are you saying that the download will not commence? Did you try this link http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x

QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X

Hello my friends
I would like to know if I can install my "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X" in Leopard ?
I bought this component when I was in Tiger and I wouldn't make any mistake in installing it within Leopard which is working like a charm.
Thanks
Max

Hello Smokerz
I've checked within my Apple Store Acount and the download link is still pointing to the same version as the one I bought... Maybe I shall wait until a new version is available.
Thank you

Video playback problems in iTunes 10.5.2/3

Hi,
I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on my MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2, 2,66 Ghz, Intel i7, and I have some issues with my video playback.
None of my movies/videos in iTunes will play. It's actually really annoying. I was having this problem already on iTunes 10.5.2. So today I tried reinstalling iTunes completely, due to the new version that came out, but I still have the problem. Any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks in advance!

I can't be the only one with this issue. It affects both my iTunes on my mac mini and my iBook

Problem importing videos using Photos for Mac

I just install photos for mac, everything seems ok since I moved iphoto library to new photos library.
But there is one problem, I can not import videos from my iphone, every new photo was imported but not a single video.
The application said the format file is unrecognizable file type.
I am using macbook air with Mac OS X Yosemite ver 10.10.3 also iphone 4s and iphone 5, each idevice using latest ios.
Thank you in advance

iPhoto did not support video syncing over iCloud. The new Photos app does. If you synced, or transferred your videos to iTunes, they should have migrated yo Photos. Enable Sidebar in the View menu, then check the Videos special Album.
Your old iPhoto app and iPhoto Library remain on your drive and work as before. The iZphotolsb is in your Applications folder.
How to get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X10.10.3.
