I have the same problem with my video.
I think the cause is in the video conversion stage from video to mp4.
In my conversion programme the configuration was for 320x240 pixels which looks great on the small iPod screen, but when its on a 42" - not so good....
If you can adjust the resolution of your video conversion try that, only remember - a 640x480 pixel image is 4 times the size(area) of a 320x240 so your video will take up more space.

No video when playing disc burned from iDVD on DVD player

I've tried for the first time to burn a DVD (TV shows purchased on iTunes) and followed the directions from the iDVD help guide, but when I try to play on my external DVD player there's no video, only audio. I saw a couple posts where people had video and no audio, but not the opposite. How do I resolve? I'm using Memorex DVD-R discs and am not very technologically savvy.

Hi fitzmonster
Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already good advice mentioned above. I do have a question. By any chance are you using Memorex Dvd's? If so, it simply adds one more variable to an already bad equation. Try Verbatim or Maxell instead.
Given the lack of recent updates to iDvd, seems to me Apple is currently focused on streaming content from your Mac to your TV thru such products as iTunes and their latest AppleTV. iDvd doesn’t always fit into this mix. In comparison, iDvd is dated / old technology centered entirely on standard definition TV. Their latest AppleTV is well beyond this.
Also there are many products out there that work rather well together and may be better matched on your mac other than iTunes, AppleTV and iDvd. One must keep in mind that iDvd is not really intended as a general purpose burn utility. Toast may be a better choice here but neither iDvd nor Toast will circumvent DRM.
So the question we need to ask is, How well do all three apple apps / products mentioned above play together? Are they in harmony? IMHO the answer is no .... mainly because iDvd is rather dated technology. Hence, as a consumer I do think it's smart to look elsewhere / at other products /options if the intention is to burn TV Programs to Dvd-R ... as opposed to streaming content from a mac to your TV or iPod.
Like I said, Roxio Toast is a reasonable choice but Elgato combined with EyeTV3 software is even better one. It's better because it’s written and built around recording TV shows / programs. That and it's not limited to iTunes.

I can hear the video when played on iPhone5 but when emailed the audio is very low

I'm unable to hear the videos when they are emailed from an iphone5. I can play it on the phone but the volume is extremely low when sent to email. Any answers on how I can hear the video played louder when I open it from email on pc?

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video
Thanks,

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on Fifa or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on FIFA or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem then some info as to what happens would be useful if you want help.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Why do i get a thin tear moving thru my video when playing on my lcd?

Why do i get a tear thru my video when playing on my lcd? I have tryed 60mhz monitors & 120's but I still get a single thin tear moving through the image. It happens mainly with HD footage when there is a lot of camera movement. I have an invidia gtx580 card, 24 gigs ram, cs5.5, 6 core proc. I'm using HDMI as I have a 42" tv hooked up to it at the moment. When I open the invidia software, the highest it goes to is 60 hertz & that is what it is set to.
Is there a setting that will take away this moving tear?

Different monitors, totally dif systems. They are DVI.
This sys is 3 ft sheilded hdmi. I only see the thin line tear when the camera moves fast. The monitor is 120 refresh rate & i tryed a 60 & it did the same thing. Mainly on HD foot when the camera moves quickly the thin horizontal tear appears temporarily then disappears when the action slows

I can't play downloaded shows from iTunes in QuickTime.

I've downloaded Quicktime, installed it. And it wouldn't play my shows from iTunes. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled and still wont play, keeps saying "The movie requires Quicktime, which is not included in this version of iTunes. To play this movie, install QuickTime".... :/ I have a Windows 7 Dell laptop.

Hello ifeoluwaloju,
The article below details how to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and it's related components. Doing so should help resolve this message.

Apple TV won't load/play TV shows from my iTunes account

When I try to play TV shows and movies from my iTunes library, my Apple TV won't play them. It'll just continuously think about doing it, and on the time taskbar at the bottom it shows that it's slowly loading the video, but it won't physically play any of the content (and I've left it running for a good 15 - 20 minutes). I've tried playing different shows and episodes, and it's the same result. It will play songs from my library, however if I try to physically control what it plays through my laptop (by making the speakers Apple TV) the sound will cut out after eight or nine seconds of playing and refuse to play it after that point.
I've tried unplugging the Apple TV several times, restarting my iTunes, and nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Or even what's causing it?

I'm having this same problem suddenly as of 2 or 3 days ago, around the same time as you. The spinny animation appear for a few second, with the scrubbar, then it bails out to "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." My network has had no configuration changes in a while. My AppleTV2 and my MacBook Pro [10.7.2] have also not seen configuration changes in some time. Makes me wonder if ATV, or iTunes, has had an update that broke things.
I've played my iTunes movies over the network fine since I bought the AppleTV over a year ago. 720p, 1080p, etc., have all played fine. Now, those exact same movies are not playing. I've tried:
Changing Wi-Fi Channels.
Upgrading firmware in Airport Express. That's the WAP the MacBook is connected to. ATV is connected directly over wired Ethernet. It was a Minor Version behind, and did upgrade successfully.
Power-cycling everything. MBP, router/modem, Ethernet switches, ATV, and the external 1TB firewire drive my iTunes library is on.
Verifying that Internet-based movies play in ATV. They do. Netflix, etc., all play fine.
Plugging the MacBook Pro directly into wired Ethernet. Wi-fi completely out of the picture. I verified Internet and LAN connectivity was good, but still, ATV won't play anything.
Ensuring ATVs firmware and OS were latest.
Ensuring MacBook Pro's OS was latest.
Verifying that I can play those movies directly from the external drive, by way of Finder.
Ug.

No sound when played mpeg movie on ipod

I converted mpeg movie files to ipod format thru Quicktimepro, when i played this file on ipod then the sound did not come, only video was coming.....can please someone tell me what should i do?????

QuickTime Pro (and iTunes) doesn't export audio from muxed formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).

Getting Videos to Play as Video When Playing Randomly with Music

I haven't been able to figure this out or maybe it can't be done. Is there a way to get music videos (or any video) to play as videos when they're intermingled with regular songs (MP3 or MP4a), playlists or otherwise?
When playing songs randomly in a playlist or if I play all songs, my videos with show the first frame of the video like it would album cover art and then just play the audio from the video. I hope this makes sense, thanks.

Thanks, I put the suggestion in last night. Hopefully it will be considered, I think it would be a nice feature to have. They could even add it in settings to play music videos as video when plaing among songs or not. Not sure if that's the best way to word that or not, but I'm sure they can figure it out.

[MSI RS480M2-IL] jerky video when playing mpeg2

My new msi rs480m2-il mainboard with venice 3000+ cpu and 512 mb twinmos ram shows problems when playing mpeg2 content. When playing recorded mpeg2 file the video is jerky (I already checked the video source, but it is random)
After first install of windows mce I found out the image was jerky and flashed the bios from 3.3 to 3.8 to see if it improves some things. The only improvement was that the CPU was recognised and that I could enable C&Q.
Then I did a fresh install of windows again (diabled all unneccesary stuff like firewire, second ide channel, onboard sound in the bios), but no improvements. It is totally worthless for usage as htpc.
After fresh install of windows I did the following:
- installed all windows updates
- installed ati catalyst 5.7 drivers
- installed nvidia purevideo decoder 1.02-150
The playback is in VMR9 with hardware acceleration enabled, this results in a CPU load of 40-50% (which I think is pretty high).
Where can I look?
- VGA card
- drivers
- Memory
- Bios
- RMA mainboard?
Is there anyone facing the same problems? Did anyone succeed to eliminate these problems?
I am also facing the temp problem (venice core) which shows a cpu temp that is way too high

Realtek A3.74 drivers from realtek website
There are a few threads in the Forum on problems with the more current Realtek driver sets and the board, e.g. poping and stuttering. It's always possible that the video playback is affected by audio. The set on the MSI CD that came with the board is good.
I tested newer and also encountered problems. I tested several of the Catalyst IGP sets without problems, but recommend you try the Realtek set on the CD. Make sure you uninstall the current set before you move back.
FYI.....I tested ALL TYPES of media with the rig in my profile and video was very smooooooth on all tests. Even streaming video from the net was good. It's now my daughter's system, and she says it's running perfect.

When playing games on my iPod touch. Some are stutters and non responsive

Trying to play games on my iPod touch and they are slow, stuttery and non responsive. iPod software is up to date

Do the games require an internet connection? If so then maybe slow connection.
otherwise:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
