Buffer Overrun error when playing MPEG4 video files

Recently i upgraded to the newer version of itunes with quicktime 7.0.2. I am not able to play my MPEG4 video which i have in my itunes library for my ipod anymore.
The video plays for a few seconds but with artifact type glitches in the video and then i get a Runtime Error saying "Buffer Overrun Error". This didnt happen to me before.
I have the latest dirextX and windows updates and have also tryed rolling back quicktime to an earlier version. The error still occurs. The videos also play fine when they are on my ipod.
Any suggestions why this is happening?
Custom Windows XP

I found a solution to my problem. I upgtraded my chipset drivers and that fixed my problem.

Windows 7 Crashes/Freezes when playing ANY Video files

lets see can anyone get their head around this one as it is driving me round the bend.
So... I have a media centre PC connected to my HDTV by VGA cable. I ran the PC on XP for a long time but last December, I upgraded it to Windows 7
along with my laptop.
Cue 5 months of seamless media usage and network integration - it
worked like a dream and I played both HD and SD content with ease.
About two weeks ago, I was watching an HD '.mkv' file in Windows Media Centre and about 10 minutes into the video, the video file just Froze - both the video and the audio. I had to power down and restart the machine and started the video file again. About
5 minutes after re-starting the video file, it hung again (not at the same place in the video). I then went and watched the video on my laptop where
it worked fine.
A few days after this (first time I had used it again since it hung up) I began watching an SD '.avi' file. About 1 minute into the video the display lost it's signal (the little built in 'no signal' graphic came up) and after a further 15 seconds, the audio
cut out as well.
This latter behaviour is now happening every single time I try to watch any kind of SD or HD video of any file extention. This problem is also independant of what video player I use (windows media centre and windows media player classic) After a minute or so
the display cuts out and the audio quickly follows it.
Suffice to say, I was a little annoyed but knowing a good bit about computers I
decided to try and solve the problem taking the following steps.
1) I uninstalled all my codecs and reinstalled the latest version of the K-Lite Codec pack. The latest version has support for windows 7 so I doubt its a compatibility issue here. After doing this the problem still persisted, exactly the same as before.
2) I checked the date of the drivers for my video card (MSI nVidia 6200) and seen that they were dated sept 2009. I went onto the nVidia site and found the latest win7 drivers dated april 2010 - I installed these but still the problem is there.
3) I then thought, maybe its a problem with the actual video card hardware itself. When I built my machine the parts supplier accidentally
sent me two of the same video card so I swapped out the existing one for a brand spanking new version of the same card. The problem is still EXACTLY the same.
So yes -I am rather annoyed and frustrated at the moment as I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the machine and how it went from working to not working almost overnight.
I'd like to add also that the display is perfect when doing anything else on the computer - I can surf, play youtube videos, listen to music etc and it is absolutely no problem.
Put on a video and it cuts out the display like I have explained.
halp.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

Buffer Overrun Error When Updateing QuickTime

Hi all,
I am using the most recent version of quicktime so 7.3.1, if I select update from the menu of quicktime player it loads to the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library (Error message window header)
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated.
If I reopen quick time it seems to be OK but the error above is displayed when I quick on update from the menu again.
Also when I am in the Quick Time Preferences and click update, I get this error message:
Run Dll (Error message window header)
An exception occured while trying to run "shell32.dll,control_runDLL"C:\program files\quicktime\qtsystem\quicktime.cpl""
I have recently reformatted my machine and I have exactly the same problem before and after the format. Please help as this is driving me crazy.

I'm experiencing exactly the same bug. Matter of fact, it's the first time in years that I've run across this kind of 'problem' when using non-beta software from a major player. Too bad. This really reflects poorly on Apple's credibility.

ITunes error when playing HD video to monitor

I've got a few-months-old Mac mini hooked up to an older Apple Cinema display (model A1081). When I try to play a TV show purchased from iTunes that's in HD or HD-SD format, I get the following error (and no video):
This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
Any way around this, or am I just stuck because this monitor is "old"?

Try this, it worked for me. After you've purchased HD content and downloaded it, navigate to the SD version in the iTunes store. It should show that you can download the SD version without paying again. Now your content is HD-SD (of course some of your content may already have both versions).
When you stream it to an Apple TV it will be HD, but if you want to play it on your older monitor, control-click the movie in your library, then navigate down to "version" and select SD. It will now play SD on that old monitor.

MHT files cannot be sent using Eudora email - buffer overrun error

Previous Firefox versions allowed quick email forwarding of website url addresses. The current version defaults to generating an MHT file and when Eudora 7.1 is selected as the email preference, the following error message appears:
" Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files(x86)\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated."
It would be much easier just to continue email forwarding of the website url address

hello wmsharpe, there should still be an "email link" option that you can place on your menu/toolbar once you go into the firefox customizing mode: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software?

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?

When I play a sound or a video on a website (other than youtube)on safari, a weird nois is comeing from the speakers, the sound has pops/clicks but if I play the same video/sound on mozilla it works fine.. If wnyone know what's the problem.. please let us know

Issue with running QuickTime Windows. Buffer Overrun Error - C++ Library .

Initial problem was Buffer Overrun Error (C++ Library) when clicking on QuickTime after installation. IE. QT would not even open. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831875#appliesto
I took these steps:
1. Tried to uninstall QuickTime by itself (it failed).
2.
3. Manually deleted apple, itunes and quicktime from the entire system (where ever it let me).
4.
5. Manually took out from the registration the apple stuff.
6.
7. Left the items in the recycle bin (in case there were any real issues and I needed something restored).
8.
9. Performed a registration cure (RegCure).
10.
11. Took off my entire Anti Virus.
12.
13. Dropped down separately the QuickTime and separately the iTunes on desktop.
14.
15. Tried to install QuickTime from one of the two saved files on my desktop, but encountered a serious fault
16.
17. It needed the QuickTime Installer to remove QuickTime itself, else it crapped out and nothing happened. This complained for a QuickTime.msi file which was a problem.
18.
19. Went to the recycle bin and restored only components which were marked QuickTime Installer.
Removed the QuickTime instead of Repair.
Went to the website and Installed QuickTime 7 directly.
It opened on the desktop after installation.
Installed iTunes separately from the desktop and it opened directly.
Rebooted my pc.
Enabled all my Security (McAFee).
Opened one by one the QuickTime and Then the iTunes.
Created a computer restore point with a narrative for the future.
This was a very difficult task and required a lot of steps. I am glad you helped me with the removing part. Its great to have everything working again on my pc.
I hope this was helpful - it took me ageges to fix.

Quick Time (Audio Preferences) fails to launch with buffer overrun error

It all started a few weeks ago, after installing itunes7.0 for windows, and itunes began to annoy me (indeed drive me mad) with an error message :
"an unhandled win32 exception has occured in itunes.exe [3840]" at startup / closing immediately afterwards.
After numerous uninstall/reinstall/clean the registry/system restore attempts I managed to solve the issue-- BUT only for a few days..It failed again and so I went through the itunes support forums even found an entry
"iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error"
which suggests that my issue could be solved by :
"Open the QuickTime control panel and select the Audio tab.
In the Devices section de-select the Safe mode (waveOut only) option and click Apply."
But to my surprise, when i selected the Audio tab (and the Audio tab ONLY ) it presented me a "buffer overrun error" which indicated that the internal state of the program has been corrupt and it would be shutting down now..
It's such a nuisance..!!
Please, help, and your help will be deeply appreciated... !
I have tried to revert to the older version and it didn't work..

let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime one more time. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Keep getting "Buffer Overrun" error message

Hey, all. I'm trying to burn my (2.5 hour) show from a new G5(OS 10.4.2) w/DVD Studio Pro 4 set at 5(ish) bitrate by 1394 firewire to a dual layer DVD-R in a Plextor 716UF, but keep getting a "Buffer Overrun" error message. Please help...
Tom

There can be a few things happening
One thng to try is just build the DVD Project first to your HD and see if you get the error. If that works then select format (it is a DL Disc it seems) and see if you get en error about the dual layer break being "not found" or invalid then select the DL manually from DVD SP then run again, that worked when I had a similar issue. Also try your internal DL (did not know if you meant new being one of the new DL models, mprobably not since you have the external DL but figured I would throw it out there), perhaps the FW connection is messing up.
Have you also tried burning with Toast? Did you also aac the audio? Did you encode all assets outside of DVDSP then bring them in? Sometimes even deleting PAR/MPEG files may help. have seen a bunch of strangeness

My photos are distorted when playing the video.

My photos are distorted when playing the video. How do I keep them clear?

FrauSherrie
Very good idea starting your own new thread based on your specific issues and details of them. Although the subject matter may sound the same, it often gets confusing trying to exchange information with two different users at the same time in the same thread and trying to follow the discussion as the thread content gets entangled.
I just got finishing responding to your post of this thread's question's in rsayen06's thread where you initially posted.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252104?tstart=0
For you convenience this is a copy of what I just wrote there:
FrauSherrie
SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

Hi
I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.

I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

Play two video files at the same time.

I am trying to play two video files at the same time. I create two threads, each of which has its own frame, playing button, and builds its own graph to play the file. Now everything seems works except that when the first file is being played and I hit PLAY
to play the second file, the program plays the second file but the first one is paused; furthermore the control button has no response for the first one. Did I miss anything? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?
Best,
Fayin

You don't need separate threads for 2+ playback pipelines because the filters create worker threads internally and don't block execution on calling thread.
If you decide to keep separate threads, you will have to follow Michel's advice and have message pumps on those threads.
You can also have both files in the same graph, in which case you have perfect sync between them (both start playing together in sync), however you cannot pause/stop/run files separately.
The problem you described is most likely not a DirectShow problem and is rather about generic threading, COM or window messaging.

Message by mpv and ffplay when playing certain flac files

When playing certain flac files with mpv or ffplay, I experience colored messages which might be warnings or errors in the terminal. I don't hear that something is wrong with the audio and therefore I ignored it for a long time. But I'm a bit curious why this message occures because the files are converted from CDs with the flac tool itself. The output I am talking about looks like this (in orange) when playing with mpv:
[ffmpeg] NULL: sample/frame number mismatch in adjacent frames
And it looks like this when playing with ffplay (in cyan and orange):
[flac @ 0x7f73e0001760] sample/frame number mismatch in adjacent frames
When decoding with the flac utility, I don't see any messages. Does anybody know, where this behavior comes from? Might it be a good idea to rip and reencode the audio again or can I safely ignore these messages?

Yes, they are the vanilla packages from the repos.
karol wrote:Have you tried playing these files on another, non-Arch, system?
Well, I just updated an old Gentoo (which took some time) and experience the same messages with these files. Interestingly, when I fastforward, the message does not appear (on both systems).
karol wrote:Google shows these messages are pretty common, but since nothing seems to be broken, I don't think you need to worry.
Yes, I also tried to search these messages on Google. But I did not understand most of it. It's just that I could not understand why a file that was encoded by flac itself produce errors/warnings or anything like that when playing and just make sure that nothing is broken.

PSE13: no sound when playing AVCHD videos

In the PSE 13 Organizer I'm not getting any sound when playing AVCHD files:
These files play just fine in PSE12
These files play just fine in Premiere Elements 13 and 12
The files are from various cameras (Sony RX100M3, Sony and Panasonic camcorders)
Other video formats work fine (e.g., .wmv, .mov files from an iPhone, .avi etc)
Any ideas? A quick search indicates this problem has occurred occasionally over the last several years across various versions of PSE.
Thanks

Hi Anewsha
I use .mts.
To clarify : The problem occurs in the organizer part, where sound
disappears after palying 30 seconds. I run a fairly powerful computer, Core
i7, 16 G Memory with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750
