Why is the video hanging up??  Stalling???

I'm currently using QuickTime™ (Pro) Version 7.1.6, Player Version 7.1.6 and it will load videos and begin playing them but then the video part stops a few seconds into it and the audio continues on.
I've tried re-installing it but that didn't fix anything.
Is anyone else having this problem??

Hi,
Just wanted to add my voice (I did have a thread of my own on this but no-one responded). I've been having this problem ever since I updated to QT 7 (Pro) on my iBook G4 800. It was so bad I was using VLC 99% of the time - and despite its ability to play anything it's still not the most stable app. I put it down to QT 7 simply being less efficient than 6.5.2, which played all my movies wonderfully (except, obviously, H264 which I happily did without), no complaints whatsoever.
Then I bought my 2nd-hand dual-867MHz G4, and lo and behold the same flipping problem is happening with it too, although definitely not quite so frequently. It especially seems to happen with MP4s I've created using Handbrake.
Generally I wish I could just downgrade both my iBook and PM to 6.5.2 where I was quite happy. Quite sick of 7+.
SiR G.
PS: I'm assuming QT 7 is mandatory for Tiger, right? No downgrading possible?
PPS: It's just occurred to me that Quicktime is one of the few aspects of my Tiger install that is installed as a Universal Binary. Makes me wonder if the Intel code is interfering somehow.
12" iBook G4 800MHz w/ 640MB RAM (128MB built-in), 80GB HDD & Airport Extreme;   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Power Mac G4 MDD dual-867MHz, 1.25GB RAM, Sonnet Tempo SATA card; iPod Nano 8GB

  • Why is the Video clip jumpy?

    Why is the Video clip jumpy? I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 in a brand new computer:
    Acer Aspire V5
    CPU AMD Dual Core Processor a-4 APU with Radeon (TM HD Graphics 1.0 GHz)
    4GB DDR3 memory
    500 GB HDD
    Windows 8.1
    The file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV files

    Lots of ways to go on this. But, I think starting with a definition of the source media and how you are setting up the project is going to be the path to success. So, we need to zero in on questions/answers related to what I wrote earlier
    The properties of the source media need expanding up beyond "file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV.
    a. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .avi file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    b. What is the file extension for the file with the AVCHD video compression. Again, what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    c. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .mov file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    You asked how to go about that. The best way is to run each of the file types through a video properties read out program such as MediaInfo
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    Latest versions of that MediaInfo have been problematic in that you need to be on guard for any unwanted toolbars and installed "extra" programs (bloatware).
    OR
    We would not necessarily get more information, but we would get enough to put us in a good position, if we run the types through gspot utility (good for codec and basic information)...less bloatware concerns
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
    The dialog that you would get from gspot would look like
    Once we know the video and audio codecs, frame size, frames rates, interlaced or progressive frame rates, etc. that we are dealing with, we on a good course to set up the project settings to match those properties, independant of whatever export choices we have in mind. That we will address later after a successful import and edit.
    OR
    A third choice for getting at this information is less productive but can be a good last resort...knowing the brand/model/recording settings of the camera from which these files came.
    Please review and then let us know if you can gather the file properties information details requested.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • Why is the video inside FCP 6 slightly darker than the OS

    Why is the video playback inside FCP 6.0.5 slightly darker than wehn I play the same Quick Time file just inside the normal OSX10.5?
    I'm using a Cinema HD 23" monitor running at 1920x1200 and display profile is Cinema HD Calibrated
    Thx
    Kevin

    It is darker because that is a more closely representational GAMMA as to what you will see on your external broadcast monitor. QT lightens the gamma to ensure that most computer monitors can see the footage. As stated, if you want the gamma to appear darker, enable FCP COLOR COMPATIBILITY in the QT preferences.
    WHY does it look more like what you see in FCP when you view this on a PC? Well, that is the monitor that PC is using. Take this file, put it on 10 PC all with different monitors and you will see 10 different gammas. The monitors themselves can be set to certain DISPLAY PROFILES (look in your DISPLAYS section under COLOR)...so you can have a HUGE variety of looks.
    The reason is because of the monitors and the computers driving them.

  • Why is the video buffering when downloading

    Probably because your Internet connection is too slow. What speed is your connection? Your computer is running much faster than your connection can provide the movie data.

    Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. 
    A suggestion:
    Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
    Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up. 
    Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."   
    Press close.
    Now RESTART YOUR  COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

    Try this:

    In the drop down, select Library.
    Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
    In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.

  • Why did the videos get taken from festival?

    Why did the videos get taken from festival?

    Ten days and still no reply. Thanks, Apple. It's companies like you and EA that make me think you guys are only in it for the money. I payed $2.99 for this dn app and no refund. But it doesn't matter anymore because I jailbroke my iPod and got the app back. Looks like you lost a customer.

  • When I view videos on YouTube, the videos hang again and again. I fail to understand why? My net speed is super great. Need help. I hv an ipad2.

    When I watch videos on YouTube it hangs a lot. I hv ipad2 a newly bought one. My net speed is very good so fail to understand why.

    If the same when using Safari as with the YouTube app, YouTube's servers play a significant part in this.

  • In FCE why is the video and audio separating

    all of a sudden why is the audio and video splitting when I drop the clip in the time line in FCE HD

    Hi
    Yes it does to me too.
    So I add video/audio cilps to the very end of TimeLine (right hand)
    then move it into place.
    Crude - Yes - But still it works

  • Why does the Video looks Pixelated after Burning DVD

    In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great, when I burn the DVD it comes out very very pixelated. I've changed the preferences from Best Performance to Best Quality, and the project properties as well I've done the same. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    I'm using 16:4 aspect ratio Video Size is 1280x720
    Help

    How are you viewing the DVD you created - on a computer or on a TV?
    In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great
    The preview uses your original content on your hard drive and is simply designed to allow you to see if the 'flow' (sequences, menus, etc) are what you wanted.
    In addition, although iDVD 'supports' HD, it only supports it in the context of current specifications - not the new HD DV world that has two competing HD DVD formats.
    This means your 1280x720 content gets downsized and compressed to fit on a 720x480 DVD. The video must be 'expanded' to play on a HD set.
    BTW, your aspect ratio is 16:9 and NOT 16:4. 16:4 would REALLY be widescreen! I haven't seen THAT spec yet.

  • Why is the video screen black for me? FCPX

    Why is my screen where the video is saposed to be playing black with a multicolored grainy looking box in the top left hand corner of it for Final Cut Pro X?

    "I suspect you simply didnt wait long enough for youtube to fully process  the video before you watched it."
    Incorrect. After I uploaded the second video, I went to sleep, without watching it once.
    So if I set the 2nd video to low resolution, would it end up looking like the first video? Because I still think the first video has better quality.
