Buffer overrun with quicktime player

i'm going crazy!!!!!!
i keep getting a buffer overrun when i try to use quicktime player. i have spent the last week trying to figure it out and it's driving me crazy. i just bought my laptop and planned on updating my ipod. when i first got it itunes worked fine but now itunes stops before it starts and quicktime player has a buffer overrun. also in contol panel my quicktime player and itunes icon have a red box around it, is this something to do with why it's not working?
Somebody, anybody can you help me please?

I have the same problem myself. My mom got a new iTouch for her birthday and she gave me her old iPod. I havent been able to update either of them, my quicktime hasnt been working therefore my iTunes hasnt been working for the past 2 MONTHS!!!! Im over trying to fix it myself, spending hours for nothing. Im willing to pay someone to come over and fix it because this is beyond me

In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

Hi Tim ..
Reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Then restart your Mac. Try Safari.
If it crashes again, uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Using QuickTime Broadcaster with QuickTime Player

I have one computer streaming video/audio using QuickTime Broadcaster. How are you supposed to view the stream with QuickTime Player on another computer? None of the QuickTime docs says how you view a stream. I tried entering the IP address of my broadcast computer into the Open URL field, but nothing happens. I have the latest SW on everything.

Thanks. This helped, although it still didn't work. I found the solution in the help file although I still had to experiment. The description below is one way for it to work, although there are probably other ways.
To get it to work from one computer to another, you have to export from the QTB an sdp file. This file gets stored on the viewing computer. On the QTB computer, on the Network tab, the IP address needs to be the viewing computer's IP. Once broadcasting, the QT Player on the viewing computer opens the sdp file. It should then work. If anything on QTB get changed (MPEG-4, etc), you need to export another sdp file.

Converting mov files with Quicktime Player for iDevices

I wasn't sure if should post this under iPad or here or at all as it is about coding, but it is about coding for Apple iDevices that can't display Flash, using Quicktime Player or QT Player 7 Pro:
I'm trying to add the ability for Apple iDevices that can't display tutorials I created in Flash, to see them with H.264. I read that I can simply open the original tutorial that luckily is a .mov file with Quicktime Player 10 in Snow Leopard and File > Save For Web and QT will convert to H.264 and also output several files needed to upload to your server.
But the only options are for iPhone, iPhone (cellular) and Computer. I assume an iPod would use the iPhone file, but iPad didn't exist yet.
I chose iPhone and Computer for my test. I got 2 .m4v files a .jpg, a small .mov and a .html page with the code I needed to copy/paste to my target html page.
Uploaded the files and could see the tutorial movie with my iPad fine. Using FireFox, I saw the beginning of the movie, then got the beachball. After a long wait, I tried a force quit and found that my Mac Pro was crashed too so had to hard shut down. Hate that.
Rebooted the computer. Tried accessing with Safari this time and it worked fine.
I also own Quicktime Player 7 Pro pre Snow Leopard (I'm running Snow Leopard now) and tried the conversion with it and noticed a few more config choices, like for frame rate. But the resulting code was about 29 lines of code with expected parameters versus 2 lines of code in the QT Player code which actually really surprised me. With both apps they have JavaScript references for the head tab to files on Apple's library on their site.
So.. I'm wondering why FF and my computer crash, I did output for computer as well as iPhone. And what to do for FF users and the fact that there's no specific output for iPad, am I OK just using the iPhone output since I can see the file OK on my iPad test.
Last, I've been reading about HTML5 versus Flash, but assume that what both my QT apps are outputting is HTML4. In the QT Player code there isn't even an embed tag, let alone the video tag I've read about, just a href to the exported Saved For Web .mov file, which I assume must point to the .m4v files that QT outputs and puts in the same folder as the other files, but there's no direct reference to them.
Sorry for the length, or if this isn't the place for these questions, but I do want to get this right before I convert about 20 tutorials
I wonder if I should wait until Lion and see if QT is changed to fix the FF crash and adds output for iPad?
One last thing: when you access the converted file with an iPad, first you see a jpg of the first frame with "Click to Play" in the center. When you do, you get the movie with a play triangle which you have to press to actually start the movie. But when you access the same html file with Safari, all you have to do is click the "Click to Play" and the movie starts as expected. Bug?

QuickTime X and QuickTime Player Pro create slightly different html code (but it all works about the same way). The "click to play" image file, a "reference" movie, multiple versions for different devices and the html code to preview the page and use as copy/paste into your Web page.
QuickTime X has fewer options than QuickTime Player Pro. The iPhone preset works just fine on the iPad.
Your Firefox crash may have been just coincidence and I doubt it was caused by the page code.
You may want to wait a while longer for the HTML 5 code because browser support is still in the learning stage and millions of PC users still use out of date browsers.
The reference movie points to the different versions of the file. The code "reads" the device and serves up the correct version for it.
I don't own an iPad but I suspect it works like my iPod Touch. All of my QuickTime files have the play "triangle" so the click to play image style page requires two clicks on it.

Bought MacBook Pro a year ago and it came with Quicktime Player. Bought Quicktime Player Pro, how do I download it??

Bought macBook Pro a year ago and it came with Quicktime Player. Just bought Quicktime Pro and am having trouble downloading it. Do I need it? How do I download it?

You don't download QuickTime Pro directly; you download QuickTime 7 and apply the code you bought to it.

Cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making App Previews

cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making App Previews
went into that page:
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-previews/imovie/Creating-App-Previews- with-iMovie.pdf
upgraded to quick time 7 pro
got stuck here:
" 4. In the window that appears, select your iOS device as the Camera and Microphone input source".
the window appeared, no selection is possible

The instructions in the Developer page you link contemplates that you are using the QTX version instead of QT7 Pro:
vs.
QT7 Pro does not allow selection of iOS devices as the Camera and Microphone  input source.
QTX is the QT version included with Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and later. However, as explained in the Developer page you linked above, if your Mac is not already using it, you need to upgrade to the current (OS X 10.10 Yosemite) OS X Version to use iOS devices as the recording sources in QTX.

Buffer Overrun in Quicktime 7.1.3

I'll start with the basics:
System Config:
-Windows XP Pro SP2 (all updates performed)
-Intel p4 1.7GHz
-1GB RAM
-2x120GB 7200RMP UltraQuiet HDDs
-Nvidia GeForce 6200 128MB AGP (latest Forceware Release)
-SoundBlaster Audigy 2 (latest driver/firmware release)
-HP DVD 840i DVD +/-R,RW Lightscribe Drive
-Netgear Wireless 54g PCI
-USB 2.0 PCI Adapter Card
I have this connected to my home theatre system for audio, and a UXGA Cable to my Samsung 46" DLP HDTV @ 1280x720.
After downloading and installing the updated versions of iTunes and Quicktime (I am using QuickTime Pro), my visualizations in iTunes no longer work, and I am unable to play the TV Episodes of Battlestar Galactica that I downloaded (and were the only reason I upgraded in the first place). Everytime I try to watch either of the episodes I downloaded (or anything in QuickTime), or run the visualizations when listening to music, the video (and visualization) is choppy, cannot be viewed at full screen, and my CPU Utilization spikes to 88% - 93% and I get a "buffer overrun" error message. I am still able to play regular DVD movies, and other .mv4 encoded movies (such as Nero Digital) without any issues at all. If I kill the QuickTime process, CPU utilization returns to normal.
I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling iTunes and QuickTime (separate installs) with no success.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?
Also, on a side note, is there a way to configure QuickTime (or iTunes) to use only the SPDI/F output for Dolby Digital / DTS passthrough to an external encoder. I had to make that adjustment in winDVD for DVD Video playback, and I was wondering if the same is required in order to get 5.1 audio out of TV shows / Movies from iTunes.

Apple's official word on the matter (as noted by Kyn)...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304341
has a section: "Did this article help you?"
...Forum readers for whom "Flash in QT is disabled" can click on the appropriate button at the above link (may I suggest: "It wasn't helpful...") and Apple will respond:
"Thank you for taking time to help us improve our content. Your comments and suggestions are invaluable to Apple."

Quicktime and itunes will not open - buffer overrun in quicktime

I cannot open Itunes. It says it needs quicktime. quicktime will not open. says buffer overrun. reinstalled both itunes and quicktime. both used to run prior to updates. Help.

Quicktime was working on my Vista computer up until a short time ago. I believe one of the Microsoft updates crippled it. I have looked at several forums and read the other threads on this site and from what others have described I really believe now that Microsoft did this with one of their updates. There are many problems with Vista all due to Microsoft trying to force developers to use only their products. Unfortunately they are squeezing us customers really hard.

Buffer overrun in Quicktime

This is just bad programming and Apple should fix it.
No problems with Itunes or playing movies
just when closing Quicktime.

I really don't know with certainty if it is a problem with QT or Microsoft.
With the first QT update, I'd get the same as you, buffer overrun detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The second update QT 7.3.1.70 seemed to solve it for me, but I installed that last update a little differently.
What I did was install it to E:\ drive. In the past QT versions would only install to C:\ even if you tryed to install them to another drive, they would automatically go to C:\ my thought back then was QT needed to be installed to the drive the OS was on.
I do not have a OS installed to E:\ which on this computer is a separate HD and not a partition. But QT did install to it and works. So I really don't know what else to tell you. And I've not read any post in regard to the buffer overrun, that has explained it or offered a good solution.

Buffer overrun with rxtx API (serial communication)

Hi,
I've succesfully installed the rxtx API (http://www.rxtx.org) and I really love it. I do however experience a problem. When I connect my serial device (a USB device which enumerates as a virtual COM port) and communicate with it, then there's no problem at all. But when I disconnect the device when the COM port is still opened and then shut down my Java application, then I get an error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Program: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\javaw.exe
A buffer overrun state has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now terminate.
Any idea on how I can prevent this error from appearing?
Best regards,
RoDeNtJe

Yeah, I know that's what you 'should' do, but a user doesn't always do what you expect they 'should' do. So if a user does pull out the USB cable before the application is shut down and the COM port is closed, then the error appears. Isn't there a way to catch that exception?
Best regards,
RoDeNtJe

No surround with quicktime player under Vista

This is very strange: ithune play 5.1 apple trailer perfectly in surround.
if I open the same MOV file in quicktime player, it is downmixed to stereo.
My install is clean, I have the latest version.
note: I set 5.1 speaker output settings in quicktime. So this is strange it does
not work.
note2: on XP, everything is working.
my hardware: toshiba laptop with 5.1 USB sound card.

Looks like I accidentally double posted, I've got almost the same exact problem.
"The control panel device manager driver page for the device can actually display a far more useful test. This test allows me to select S/PDIF, click the test button and .... it plays sound thru ALL FIVE sppeakers, one at a time."
I'm not sure which test area you using, but try right clicking the speaker on the task bar and go to "playback devices -> Realtek Digital Output properties -> Supported Formats", then try doing the dts and dolby digital tests (assuming your receiver supports them). Mine plays exactly how it should when I do that; unfortunately, that's the only time it does.
Check my post, see if any of it looks familiar:

This problem is making me pull my hair out...

Buffer overrun with PE 5.02 under Vista

I use PE 5.0.2 with Vista since one year (German versions). Now I have the problem that whenever I go to the preferences of the organizer PE crashes with the message "Buffer overrun detected" of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". I have always update Vista with the newest updates. Are there any conflicts between PE and Vista updates?
Best regards,
Matthias

There might be issues with catalog. Try these options:
1) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Optimize. OR
2) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Repair.
is there any anti virus or some firewall running and you are using from Admin account..
