Apple HD Trailers lagging on Windows QuickTime 7

Whenever I run an Apple HD movie trailer at size 720p or 1080p, the video and audio skip very heavily. I have the same problem on every Windows machine in the household. I'm running QuickTime 7.1 on Windows XP. The most powerful computer in the household has a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz with 768 MB RAM and a 256 MB ATI Radeon 9550 graphics card.
Small, medium, and large sized trailers play just fine. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

You think we the end users - there is NO ONE from Apple here.
That is Windows issue. Buy / build a PC.

  • ITunes for Windows, QuickTime, and Apple Application Support

Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information.

    *The relationship between iTunes for Windows and QuickTime for Windows*
    Conceptually, you don't go too far wrong thinking of iTunes for Windows as a gigantic QuickTime for Windows plug-in. QuickTime for Windows provides the audio and video playback capabilities for iTunes for Windows, the codecs iTunes for Windows uses for importing and burning CDs, and so forth.
    So, under normal circumstances, if you uninstall your QuickTime for Windows your iTunes for Windows will no longer launch. The exception is if you install a different application such as QuickTime Alternaltive, which also provides QuickTime playback capabilities. However, most such applications (QuickTime Alternative being a good example) are themselves built from actual QuickTime program files. So there's really no getting away from the requirement to have QuickTime for Windows componentry installed on your computer in order to get your iTunes for Windows to launch and run.
    In addition to needing some QuickTime for Windows installed on the computer for iTunes for Windows, a given iTunes for Windows version will require *at mininum a particular version* of QuickTime for Windows to be installed on the computer in order for that iTunes for Windows version to run. For example, iTunes for Windows 5.0.0.35 requires at least a release version of QuickTime for Windows 7.0.2 to run correctly, iTunes for Windows 6.0.0.18 requires at least a QuickTime for Windows 7.0.3, and so on. The same applies for solutions involving other programs like QuickTime Alternative. An iTunes for Windows 6.0.0.18 would require an installed version of QuickTime Alternative to made from (at least) QuickTime for Windows 7.0.3 componentry in order for iTunes to run.
    The most straightforward way to go about getting your iTunes for Windows launching again after you've uninstalled your QuickTime for Windows is simply to reinstall QuickTime for Windows. You can get the latest version of QuickTime for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 from the following download page at the Apple website. (Use the download link that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    [Latest QuickTime for Windows version|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download>
    *The relationship between iTunes and Apple Application Support*
    iTunes for Windows uses a number of the same program files as other Apple software for Windows (most notably, QuickTime for Windows and Safari for Windows). Starting with iTunes for Windows version 9.0.0, QuickTime for Windows version 7.6.4, and Safari for Windows 4.0.4, program files common to more than one of the programs have been stored in a single location: "Apple Application Support".
    So, if you uninstall your Apple Application Support (using the Add or Remove programs control panel in Windows XP, or using Programs and Features in Windows Vista or Windows 7), your iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) will no longer launch ... because several essential program files for iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) will have been uninstalled.
    At the time of writing this user tip, Apple Application Support is not available as a "standalone" download from Apple. It is only available as part of the installer bundles for the most recent versions of iTunes for Windows, Safari for Windows and QuickTime for Windows. So if you have uninstalled your Apple Application Support and your iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) is no longer launching, the most straightforward way of getting your iTunes for Windows launching again is to uninstall your existing version of iTunes for Windows and reinstall the latest version of iTunes for Windows. (The iTunes reinstall should also reinstall your Apple Application Support.)
    [Latest iTunes for Windows version|http://www.apple.com/itunes/download>
    If, however, you've uninstalled both your Apple Application Support and your QuickTime for Windows, the most straightforward way of getting them both reinstalled is to download the latest QuickTime for Windows installer from the Apple website. (Use the download link that doesn't mention iTunes.)

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Windows Quicktime Pro problems - no video screens [under "file"]

    I have downloaded and installed Quicktime Pro and keyed in correct registration codes. [Quicktime 7 Pro is displayed] When in Apple Quicktime Pro- I am unable to see any kind of video screen data under "file" - Audio info is there [New audio recording]- but no video screens of any kind. I thought that maybe Quicktime Pro could not recognize my web camera [Panasonic]
    I have tried: switching firewire cards[3 others] and switched around quicktime preferences ie - Video to Safe mode/Direct X - still no change.
    When I connect camera, Digital Video device on computer acknowledges that there is a camera and gives me 4-5 software choices ie - Adobe, Windows Media Player but Quicktime Pro is not one of them.

  • Why does my apple tv keep lagging

    My apple TV keeps lagging/freezing then it catches up with it self when im watching a film from my mac or on itunes and if i bought a film from apple it does the same thing.  Ive had this apple TV for over a year and never had a problem, then all of a sudden about 6months ago it has these problems, iv'e done all the updates and reset etc and still the problem is there,  i have really fast internet so i dont know what else to do.  I was going to buy a new one then i read that someone else had same problem and bought another one and that one has the same problems too.  Lots of people are saying that its apples fault as they havent got an update for it yet, and because of the last update these are the problems we are having now.. How can I resolve this problem? is this a problem with the apple tv?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections 
    Recommended Wi-Fi settings
    Sources of Interference
    Wifi Diagnostic Software (for Mac users)
    You may also find some help on this page, where I’ve collected some of the more unusual solutions to network issues.

  • Apple Video Trailers not working/Memory Hog

    Hello,
    When I go to apple.com/trailers, the trailers do not display I keep seeing that grey wheel turn endlessly. When I try to view it in Firefox, it works perfectly fine. Anyone know why Safari would be doing this?
    Another issue that I have is that Safari eats up memory. I saw it once hit 750mb and it keeps growing without getting any smaller. Does anyone know why?
    Thanks!

    I know this is an older post, but I've been tearing what's left of my hair out over the past couple of hours trying to find the cause to exactly the same problem described above (restarts did not fix the problem for me):
    Going to "www.apple.com/trailers" in Safari produces the grey spinning sprocket-wheel where the trailer titles are supposed to be (lower half of the window). I can't seem to fix this (reinstalled Safari, deleted a bunch of plug-ins and preference files, etc etc). This problem does not reproduce in Firefox 3, where the page loads fine. I know this started happening sometime in December but I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I'm wondering if it all started with the Safari 3.2.1 update in late November.
    If anybody has any clues that might help fix this, that would be awesome. Thanks !!

  • Apple movie trailers not working

    Hi!
    I have a problem watching any movie trailers on www.apple.com/trailers page.
    If I try to open HD trailer it i get a message that URL is not valid.
    If I try to open normal trailer (not HD) I get quicktime logo with question mark and nothing happens.
    Anybody else got this problem or there is something wrong with my mac?

    That has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread in the Quicktime forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307414&tstart=0
    Seemingly there was a period when Snow Leopard users could not see the movie trailers, but it appears to have been resolved.

  • Creating Apple TV photo slideshow in Windows/Converting .mov to Apple TV

    I have a newly purchased 160 GB Apple TV and am having some difficulty creating a slideshow. Ideally, Apple would offer iPhoto for Windows or I would own a Mac, but neither is currently true.
    So, what is the best/easiest/cheapest way to create an iPhoto-esque slideshow in Windows XP? (transitions and audio track)
    In my initial attempts to accomplish this task, I have created a slideshow using QuickTime. I opened a music file in QuickTime, then opened an Image Sequence in QuickTime, then copied the image sequence and Added and Scaled to the audio track. Finally, I saved this "slideshow" as a QuickTime movie (.mov). This isn't ideal, because there are no transitions and if the photos aren't all landscape it's troublesome. Nonetheless, I tried to open this QuickTime Movie then use the Export to Apple TV conversion process. Unfortunately, QuickTime basically just freezes when I try this. The progress bar never moves from 0%. Any advice here?
    Thanks.
    DIY - AMD 64   Windows XP Pro  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The simplest way to make a slideshow without adobe photo elements is simply to put collections of photos into folders and sync them to the tv. tv will allow you to add transitions and add a soundtrack from any music you also have synced. In the current version of tv the ending of the slideshow is a little abrupt but I'm sure it will improve in future versions.
    I can't think why QT won't convert your QT (slideshow) movies, perhaps you can tell us a little about the movie. Open in QT, open the movie info window and post back the info you find there.

  • Quicktime export from FCP quality bad on Windows Quicktime

    Hey all,
    I believe this question has been brought up in a previous post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2932763&#2932763 "Quicktime export from FCP quality bad on PCs"), but it was never answered. So I captured video using final cut pro using the following capture preset:
    Sequence Preset - DV NTSC 48 kHz
    DVR-TRV900 using NTSC
    29.97 fps
    DV - NTSC at Best Quality
    24 bits per pixel
    720 by 480
    When I view the video under quicktime for mac, it looks good. However, when I view the content under quicktime for windows, the quality is noticeably degraded. For instance, when I looked at the video clip in mac, there was a text overlay that displayed the time and date. When I look at it in Windows quicktime, the quality has degraded to an extent that the numbers are no longer readable. Besides the overall quality difference in playback between mac and pc quicktime, there are no other noticeable artifacts. Also, I tried viewing the video in VLC (video lan client) on windows, and it looks perfectly fine.
    Ray

    seems like this is a PC Quicktime issue rather than an FCP issue, you may have more success in resolving the problem if you post your question on the Quicktime for Windows forum
    that said, you might want to check the Quicktime Player preferences on your PC (Edit > Preferences > Player Preferences)
    make sure you have checked the "Use high quality video setting when available" checkbox
    good luck

  • Local Apple Software Update Server for Windows

    Has anyone figured out, how to use Leopard's Software Update Server, as a local Apple Software Update Server for Windows?
    As you may know, 10.5 Software Update Server downloads, not only mac updates, but the windows' version of them as well (e.g. Safari, iTunes for windows).
    There has to be a way to use that new feature.

    {quote:title=Apple wrote:}

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • When opening Apple Mail links 2 Firefox Windows Open, The top one is blank and the one behind it contains the web link page???

    Whether with previous version of Firefox, or new one (3.6.4), when I open an Apple Mail link, Firefox opens 2 windows. Top window is blank, window behind it contains web page for mail link that I hit. I can't find anything in preferences of mail or Firefox to resolve this issue.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have discovered one solutionto my problem, which is not really convenient and is something I don't have to do with Safari 5 -- If I have Firefox open, but not a window open, then when I click on an Apple Mail link, only 1 window opens. But I don't always want to have my browser open, so this is kinda annoying. I'd rather not use Safari -- Firefox is so much better. Please fix this! Thanks.

  • Photoshop CC Tranform lag in Windows 8.1

    Hi
    All aspects of transform are lagging under Windows 8.1, including rotate, free transform and warp.  This is different from Windows 8.0, where Transform was working fine.  On a 360 degree image rotation using transform I am gettng about 5-6 animation frames (very stuttery and unusable)
    Running all latest software and drivers, GPU rotate canvas is working fine and smoothly.

    Also, what drivers are you running, specifically, with what GPU?
    I ask because there are multiple sources for drivers, and some folks get them from the wrong place.  The best source is the web site of the maker of the video card.
