Buffer Overrun when trying to view downloaded Videos

I've recently downloaded a video from iTunes. When trying to play via iTunes, it crashes after a moment, giving no error but a windows error of "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have tried opening this file through QuickTime and I get this error:
"A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted eternal state. The program cannot safely continue exacution and must now be terminated"
I have:
1. Uninstalled/Reinstalled both iTunes/Quicktime
2. Updated Motherboard chipset drivers
3. Cleaned out all references to both Quicktime and iTunes
4. Cleaned out all Registry entries involving quicktime.
Since all these were "fixes" to this question before, I thought maybe there was one I was missing.
Any help please? Thanks

Seriously, the itunes support is for the birds....go over on the QuickTime support discussions and repeat that post, is my advice.

I have Quicktime 7.0.4 installed on my new PC with a Intel 640 processor on a ASUS P5LD2-Deluxe.
If I want to watch a video from apple.com/trailers
often but not always the "buffer overrun" error appears.
Everytime I can hear a quiet cracking in the sound
if I play back the video while QT is loading the rest of the video.
The cracking sound always disappers when the load-process had come to its end.
So I´ve updated all updatable, of course the Realtek HD-Audio-Driver (on the Intel HD-Audio-Bus), too !
This made it worse than before.
Now it can happen that the video stops in the middle because of the buffer overrun.
ALL OTHER applications are working fine.
For example I can hear music or reports with winamp while downloading big files without any disturbing sound and ugly error-messages.
I think now the Apple developers are asked !

Error when trying to view YouTube videos

I get the following error when trying to view YouTube videos in some wireless hotspots; "The server is not correctly configured". It used to work fine at these locations.

Maybe not as many people reply as you think should because this site doesn't freaking work either!
Took me ten minutes to log in! Kept getting stupid error messages telling me this site is undergoing maintenance. Whatever.
Same exact problem here, but Chrome DOES NOT work. Changing DNS servers DOES NOT work either. It doesn't work for a lot of people.

EDIT**
WTF this site is more broken than youtube! Constant errors and constantly unresponsive with "greyed out" buttons!
Is there any competent people left on the planet to fix this crap!?

How can we correct a blocked plug in when trying to view internet videos?

My son's computer suddenly started stating "Blocked plug in" when trying to view any videos on the internet. We followed the instructions to upgrade Adobe Flashplayer but have been unsuccessful on many attempts and we have no leads to follow to correct the problem.
Can anyone help or suggest something? Thanks.

Try this, uninstalling and then reinstalling Adobe Flash:
Uninstall flash:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Reinstall Flash:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Select the OSX for you run the .dmg installer (you can go to Safari Preferences/General "Save doenloaded file to:" select other and then select desktop from the left column.
Run the installer pkg.
When it has completed, reboot your computer to finish the install.
Hope this helps

Quicktime 7.1 buffer overrun when trying to get info from an Indeo 4.4 AVI

Surprisingly Quicktime7.1 can play one of my Indeo video 4.4-encoded Windows .AVI File. It plays and exports flawlessly but when I want to use Get Info the player (or maybe one of the QuickTime DLLs) crashed with a VC++ Runtime Error: Buffer Overrun. All other QuickTime file don't have this problem.

This is what when the situation happens.

Error 404 when trying to view youtube videos

Recently when I try to view youtube videos, I get error 404. I updated to version 6.0 tonight and now I get error code 404 and then Fire fox crashes. I send a crash report each time. I tried opening Fire fox in safe mode. That didn't work.

160 GB iPod classic crashed when trying to view a video, and now just keeps rebooting. What can I do?

This is the third iPod classic this has happened to, so it's not a fluke.
I upoaded a video podcast from iTunes. The video name, etc. displayed properly in the iPod, but when I tried to open it, the iPod crashed and now just continuously reboots. My iMac does not recognize the iPod anymore.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried this?
- iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
- iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows

Safari complaining when trying to view WWDC videos

Despite running Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0.5, whenever I attempt to play a video from Apple's Developer WWDC site, I receive the following error:
System Requirements
To watch the streaming version of this video, use the latest version of Safari on a Mac running OS X Lion or later. Alternatively, you can watch this video in the WWDC app or download the video when available.
I instead force to download the video.
Any suggestions?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Security
and check the box marked Allow other plug-ins.

Is anyone else having the same authorization error when trying to view downloaded tv shows, etc. on apple tv? I had the same problem a few weeks ago and was ultimately advised it was due to some sort of server error.

A few weeks ago I had the same issue where items (tv shows) I purchased on itunes would not show using my apple tv on my main television. It gives me an error stating I need to "authorize" the device/account etc. There is no problem with the authorization it is correct; tv show plays on the computer. The last time this happened the local apple store suggested I bring in my entire imac, hard drive, apple tv, etc. This seemed crazy since I had been able to eliminate that there was a problem with my password, imac, etc. I had also already tried all of the restore, reset, options to include restoring the apple tv, changing password and authorizing everything again. Then I found out via an online discussion there were others having the same problem and it was due to some sort of server issue apple was having. Is anyone else having this problem besides me again?

I think I have the same problem.
Apple TV 2. I can watch stuff I downloaded a while ago, but after I downloaded a season of a TV show on Friday night (Oct 28), I got the "Authorization Required" message. Ruined my Friday night trying to troubleshoot this, and found a bunch of posts on this forum about Apple's Servers being down can cause this. Since I'd done nothing different to my setup, I assumed that indeed "Apple's servers being down" was causing my grief.
It's now Oct 31st, and I'm still getting the error on the newly-downloaded stuff. So either Apple's servers are having serious grief (and passing it on to me!) or else there might be something else after all.
I've de-authorized and re-authorized my computer (I never thought for a second it would help because I can play "older stuff". Everything in my TV shows folder is bought from iTunes - i.e., it's all completely legit. We haven't even vacuumed behind the TV(!!) so we haven't disturbed anything... And the key info is that I can play stuff purchased prior to Oct 28th, but the stuff I purchased on Oct 28th hets the "Authorization required" message.
Does anyone have any ideas?

When trying to view a video, I'm told I need Flash Player, but it is already installed.

I'm told I have to install Flash Player, when I try to install it, it says I already have it (??????)

What OS?
What browser?

IPhone Displayes "movie cannot be played" when trying to view youtube video

I have a iPhone 3G and I cannot play certain movies from YouTube. The movies play fine on my husbands computer. I connect with both 3G and Wifi. The issue is on both connections. My husband did the latest updates last weekend.
Help!! I want to see my youtube movies

How are you accessing YouTube? Via the YouTube app or via the Safari browser? You cannot access youTube via Safari because the iPhone doesn't support Flash, and YouTube used Flash. The videos accessed via the You Tube app on the iPhone are a special subset of videos that have been recoded to H.264 for iPhone compatibility.

Hello bulldog69! So, these videos you're trying to watch. Were they posted using your phone or someone else's phone? Are the videos viewable using a desktop/laptop computer?
The videos are posted on Facebook that someone else posted from phone and my own. It is friends videos which always worked on Fascinate and vids work great on computer. I think a few days ago was able to view one and today same thing have to click force close and even tried using our wifi and same problem. Pulled battery and restarted no luck. So far vids on YouTube work great on Revolution

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

I get a 'blocked plug in' message when trying to view video. I have updated adobe flash, and have enabled

I get a 'blocked plug-in' message when trying to view video, such as youtube. I have updated adobe flash, and have enabled plug-ins - still doesn't work.

Hey reslosson,
The article linked below provides more information about the blocked plug-in alert that you are seeing and will walk you through the process of changing the security settings in Safari.
Safari: "Manage Website Settings…" lets you enable the Java web plug-in website-by-website
Cheers,
