Big problem with playing videos on Vista

I have a big problem with iTunes and Quick Time on Vista. I know other people in the german cmmunity who have it, too.
If ich want to play a video with iTunes or Quickt Time my PC starts wokring very heavy. Then the programm shut down. Sometimes there is a bluescreen, too.
In iTunes it is enough just to leftclick on a video an the programm is freezing without an error message.
I bought a new iPod classic some days ago. With this error i can't use it and 350 € would be thrown away.
I installed both prgramms again and again but that's no use.

Seems to be a hard drive issue. I sometimes get the blue screen of death or a message that one of my 2 raid0 hard drives is starting to fall down. If I restart the PC (3 seconds on the power button... since iTunes blocked everything) and declare the hard drive is OK using the Intel Matrix soft provided by Dell on their website, everything is back to normal (as long as I don't use iTunes). Problem only occurs with iTunes. I am currently doing a backup of my complete HDD to an external drive. I'll try moving my iTunes library to this drive and see if it works better from a non raid 0 drive. Will keep you informed. But an external drive is always VERY slow compared to an internal so it can only be a degraded mode solution to the problem. Apple please do something!!!

  • Having PROBLEM with playing videos on my 5800

    Hi all,
    I bought my nokia 5800 2 days ago, and i am havig a problem with my videos.
    When i try to play a video (MP4) SOMETIMES it plays it without a problem, but SOMETIMES it plays a black screen with sound. And the most strange thing is it can play a video and in few hours it will just play sound on the same video!!
    Please try to help..

    download and install this http://www.nokia.co.uk/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update/download and carefully read the instructions it gives you before the update.
     ...Or return the phone and replace it with something from another manufacturer that either A) works out of the box, or B) doesn't require such an awkward and painful update procedure. Nokia seem incapable of either.

  • Problem with playing video via composite av cable on iPod classic 2009 model 160gb

    Things went well, after  purchasing the new Ipod classic 160 gb i tryied to watch movies on my LED TV via Composite AV Cable.  I did it once. Everything worked correctly & I was able to see my photoes, watch movies.  Today i tryied to connect it again to the TV via av composite cable. The TV Out was switched on. But i could hear only audio. No video. I tryied all possible configs for Ipod an for tv set & no result. If i choose on my Ipod to ask me  first if i want to switch on the AV out, the Ipod shows me a message that i should connect the video accessory (but it  is already connected!). If i choose simply to switch on the TV Out without asking  me it will play either sound only on the TV, either the playback on the Ipod is ending after 20 seconds of show time.
    Without AV Cable connected Ipod is working normaly in terms of video playback. Also the device is working normally with the ITunes.
    Please help. Where is the problem. The AV composite cable? TV set? Or iPod itself?

    Hi Rusbug,
    I am having the same issue with my iPod Classic 160gb not playing video on the TV via Composite cable as you posted in march!
    did you get a solution for the issue??
    desperate to know what to do next.
    thanks

  • Problem with play video on TV

    sorry my english. I have problem with some VGA cards with TV-out.
    When i set on VGA properties clonning view / nView / and i play video via windows media player, on secondary monitor is blank screen - in media player. Desktop is show correctly.. Is this direct show problem ? Is some way to fix this problem ?
    thanks

    I have to assume that the tech support people took you through the basics, like eprebooting the iPad and quitting the videos app, but here is something that sometimes help with the "black, blank" video screen.
    Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • Problems with play videos in the latest version of iTunes

    There is a curious problem with the latest version of iTunes. If you play the videos in Quickplay as a standalone, the videos play fine, but within iTunes whether within it or in a separate window, the videos start out choppy. I am using an ATI 5770 with 1G ram. The machine is an i7 Core 870 with 8G of ram. I have turned off the 3D accelator, etc. So, don't point me to iTunes stock advice concerning this. Been there, done that.

    Hello there, ondrafromczech.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some practical steps for troubleshooting performance issues when using AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring with your Apple TV:
    Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
    Try these suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    If you are using iTunes, please see these troubleshooting guidelines.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Big Problems with Audigy 4 and Vista 64

    Hi there,?I got the Audigy 4 running under Vista 64 Bit. The onboard Soundmax, connected to the speakers in my?Monitor?is acti've, too. The Audigy is connected to a 5. System from Teufel. With XP64 all ist working fine: The systemsounds come out of the monitorspeakers and the sound generated by mediaplayer etc. come from the 5. Sytem.Under Vista it is not possible to get a fine sound from the 5. System - if something is working, then only the satellites are working. The subwoofer is quiet. Also the sound from the 5. system is very bad, with a lot of breaks and so on. What?s this? How can I resolve this problem?By XP64 I have the possibility to change settings in Mediasoucecenter ... here I got nothing... rgds?McInternet?

    I'm running the Audigy 4 with Vista 64-bit and it's working okay for me. It's not great - and it's pretty substantially crippled, but I'm getting sound. I would love to have proper EAX support and just some simple bass and treble controls, but it is working for me (using the March 9th drivers).

  • Sawtooth problem with playing video

    Hi
    My sawtooth is freezing up.
    Usually the freeze occurs when I am playing a video.
    the screen freezes and the audio skips repeatedly over and over.
    This does not happen all of the time but it does occur frequently. I took it to an apple store and was able to reinstall the system software (not a clean install) but it did not make difference. Otherwise the machine works fine.
    any advice is appreciated.

    Do you mean streaming internet videos or DVD videos? In spite of the faster 1.4 GHz G4 processor you have installed, your Sawtooth suffers from the same hardware limitations of other computers built at that time. The 100 MHz system bus speed, DRAM memory (as opposed to DDR memory), and a 2x AGP graphics bus all contribute to choppy video viewing. The original graphics card that you still have installed has a very small 16 MBs of SGRAM, which can easily choke on video playback. You'd definitely benefit from a faster/newer graphics card with DDR memory. If you search the G4 Expansion Forum for "graphics card," you'll find numerous topics and recommended/compatible cards.

  • Big problems with dualcore centre and vista

    Just upgraded to a p965 platinum and was running fine under xp...
    wiped hdd and installed vista x64 ultimate...
    installing updates was going fine up until looking at the dualcore settings....I saw my FSB was running at 266!!! and it was running my pentium d 945 at 4400 rather than 3400mhz...
    I quickly changed the fsb down to 200 and clicked apply....system crashed instantly and now vista will not boot, just a black screen and cannot get into safemode or any other boot options...
    All options in bios are standard fsb with no overclock whatsoever....why should dualcore centre be reporting an fsb of 266 or indeed changing it to that ?
    Any help apreciated....im now about to start reinstalling vista...
    btw, in xp dualcore centre reported everything fine...200fsb and could change it nicely.

    Easy solution: Kick dual core center as it is crap! You're just one of the many complaining about probs. Just don't install it.

  • Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

    I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
    I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

    Hi
    The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
    To post the full stats from your router
    for home hub - 192.168.1.254
    Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
    Click on More Details and then post the results.
    Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
    If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
    Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
    Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
    As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

    If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
    =
    RANKX(
    ALL(Table1),
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(table1),
    ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
    DENSE
    If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

  • Having Problem with stuttering video. Please help!

    I haven't had a problem with viewing video online with my laptop until a few days ago. Now, all it will do is start to play, then freeze, play for a few seconds, then freeze, etc. etc. If I am on Hulu and pause the video to allow it to buffer, it will go good for a few minutes then start the same thing over again. I have done the same thing on CBS.com, but the results haven't been as good as on Hulu. I have noticed that it is considerably worse when the commercials start. I tried uninstalling my Flashplayer several times to no avail, and I even uninstalled my Antivirus and reinstalled that thinking that might be the problem. Tried right clicking on the player when it's in use and disableing the hardware accelerator in the settings, but that didn't help. I am about ready to pull my hair out!
    OS is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    Using Mozilla FireFox version3.6.8 and Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18928
    Have Adobe Flashplayer version 10.1.53.64
    antivirus is Avast! Free version 5.0.594
    If there is any other info needed, let me know!

    Hi,
    3D gaming performance could be affected by CPU, Video Card performance, Ram or even hard disk speed. In aspect of software, you could adjust video settings in game and sometimes old video driver could also causes these issue so it is hard to tell.
    If you don’t have a discrete graphics card, The CPU will do the job instead and it also could cause high CPU usage.
    Windows® Performance Toolkit consists of performance monitoring tools that produce in-depth performance profiles of Windows operating systems and applications. As what has been suggested by MVP ZigZag if you think there is problem on your machine, give it
    a try.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.
