Crash when watching movies

Every time I watched a movie with Vlc, my computer crash. So I deleded Vlc, and use Quick time player instead, thinking the fault came for the application. But, it happens the same problem with QTP. What to do?

Is this any and all movies or a particular movie? If a particular movie, does it do it from the start or part way through? What are the characteristics of the movie (use Quicktime's information window)? Codecs, bitrate, etc.

My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver. Everything works fine when watching movies. When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound. Has this happened to anyone else?

Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

Air Screen Dims when watching movies

Hi all! This is a stupid question. I've just purchased a new macbook air 11.6 in and when watching movies (not in ful screen) the screen dims, Im assuming because of inactivity with keyboard, etc. I dont like to watch all movies in full screen, so how do I change the settings to allow for longer 'inactive' times? Meaning, I don't want the screen to dim after only 5 minutes. Thanks!

In System Preferences > Energy Saver > uncheck "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep"
Also adjust the sleep timer to suit.

When watching movie on ATP2 the display of computer never sleeps

When watching movies on ATV2 the display of computer will not go to sleep. After fiddling with setting both on computer as well as ATV2 the problem still persists. This coincidentally happened after lastest upgrade never had the problem with last firmware. Is anybody having the same problems?.

when the computer fall asleep it power down it's harddisk and it's netcard
so you would likely be more bothered if it did fall asleep because then you're atv2 would
lose the access to the media if you play media from your shared itune lib

ITunes 10.0.0.68 Crash when watching purchased iStore content (TV) Vista 64

I recently upgraded to iTunes 10. I'm running on a Vista 64 bit machine. I have a number of dvd/blue ray ecopies in my library, along with content from CDs I've purchased, and an iPhone 3GS. This weekend I purchased my first TV season from the iStore (this was after iTunes upgrade to 10.x was applied). I purchased the HD version of the TV shows. So, yes, 2 versions were downloaded. As I understand it, the HD version plays on my computer and the lower res version is used for the iPhone (or other portable devices).
While watching the TV content after it downloaded, I experienced a series of iTunes crashes. When this occurred, the OS reported a DEP error. Of course, you can't set the DEP to not run with iTunes.exe - the system reports that DEP must run with iTunes. It's not clear to me if this is by design on Apple's side or not. So, disabling DEP when running iTunes is not an option for a Vista user.
I've spent the last several hours reading a number of forum posts, including several from this site. I did uninstall everything, per an article on the Apple support site and referenced a couple of times by B Noir as well. It seemed reasonable and when I looked at the Programs installed, I noticed that the installation date for the Bonjour service and Apple Software Update was different than the iTunes. This may not have mattered, but I've seen stranger stuff. I tried a repair of QuickTime before taking this great leap, but this had no effect. I did follow the complete steps as listed, including checking for stray residue after the uninstall ran. I did run a registry sweep after the uninstall and rebooted the system.
iTunes continues to crash when viewing purchased TV show content after all of these steps. As I have nothing to compare it with as far as the performance of previous versions of iTunes with purchased TV show content, I can't say with authority it is strictly an iTunes 10.x event. However, having watched more than 30 minutes of 3 different movies I have in my library (from the ecopy of dvd/blue ray), and playing several cd tracks, I believe I can state that this iTune crash only occurs with purchased content - TV shows in my case.
My iPhone 3GS syncs fine. In fact, I was able to place one of the TV shows on the phone and it plays just fine on the phone. Of course, that is the low-res version.

It seems like this problem is occurring for many Vista and Windows 7 64 bit users (with regard to iTunes crashing when trying to play purchased content) and I'm hoping that power users in this forum can take this more detailed report of the problem and figure it out - or convince the Apple team to address it. I'd be glad to try any suggestions or provide logs if desired (let me know where to look for the logs if applicable).

Odd ... that BEX error citing the QuickTimePlayer.dll (like the DEP errors and the unknown module for the iTunes errors) also suggests old, misplaced QuickTime componentry. But the lack of any QuickTime Player launch errors, or at least relentless "software out of date" messages, speaks against that possibility.
... I think we'd better check for old, misplaced QuickTime componentry anyway, just in case. (The symptom-set for that sort of trouble is in a constant state of flux anyway, so the lack of launch errors probably can't be taken as conclusively speaking against it.)
First we'll need to adjust some view settings on the PC.
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now we'll go looking for old QuickTime stuff in the most likely locations for it to show up.
In Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files or folders with QuickTime in the file or folder name can you see in there? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.

Flash crashed during watching movies in YT, sound doesn't always work.

I have many the few problems with flash and sound in my Arch Linux.
Firstly, when I want to play a movie in YouTube, flash often gets crashed. Movies stop loading, and they stop playing at the most often in 7th second or 12th second. Additionally, the sound falters itself. When I want to do something in web browser, it stops working. I must restart it, but flash still doesn't work. I noticed, after flash's crash, I cannot work for example in kdenlive. It gets crashed too. That problem often exists during watching movies in YT.
Secondly, I don't always have sound in games. For example, I cannot hear anything in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, but e.g. in SuperTuxKart I hear everything. I don't have any idea, why sound works in some apps and doesn't work in the other apps.
I downgraded flash, because I thought, it could help, but unfortnately, it still has the problems. I use Firefox, but earlier I used Chromium and that problem was too.
Edit: I have just noticed, when after flash's crashing I want to listen to music and then I want to stop it, it falters like sound in YT movies.

Is wolfenstein a wine game? If so There are a bunch of optional dependencies for wine. You can see them if you do "pacman -Qi wine" (same for any installed program in Arch unless installed without pacman/PKGBUILD). Some that I have installed are:
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-libpulse
If the game is a 32 bit windows game running through wine you may need some of these. If that doesn't work you can run it through the pulseaudio wrapper like this: "padsp wine /path/to/game.exe" Where /path/to/game.exe is the path to your wolfenstein executable. You can also check your sound settings with a program called "winecfg" (the defaults work fine for me though). To verify that your game is using pulseaudio there is a program called "pavucontrol" that will tell you all of the programs currently using sound through pulseaudio. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also found this which may be of interest I don't know: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/et-sdl-sound/

How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?

I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.

Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

Crashed when watching youtube in Firefox

clean install Yosemite on mid 2014 MacBook Retina 15" first time in my life it crashes while watching YouTube - shutted down and restarted.

Firefox is known to be incompatible with some graphics card driver software; it's a moving target due to driver updates...
Other than rolling forward or rolling back the drivers and finding a compatible fit, the best workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox.

Final Cut 10.1 crash when copy/move events

Final Cut 10.1 crash or hangs up with spinning beachball when copy/move several events between libraries at once. The problem happens more often than not when managaging media in different libraries on same and/or different disks.
Move or copy one event at a time works, but not several events at the same time.
The problem occurs on an 21.5 iMac (mod 2010) i3, 12 Gb RAM, 500 Gb HDD with external WD FW800 disk, an 27" iMac i7 (mod 2010), 12 Gb RAM, 1Tb HDD with external LaCie FW800 disks as well as with a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2012) i5, 16 Gb RAM, 480 Gb SSD with 1Tb External thunderbolt disk.
Just checked one of the external drives that had problems with move/copy with Disc Manager and there were no errors.
/Casi

I tried the same thing with smaller (200 Gbyte) library and this problem didn't occur.
My guess is that something fishy was going on with the large (>1 Tbyte) default libraries during upgrade to 10.1 and therefore not found during test of move/copy functionality.
My own two machines are now upgraded to 10.1.1, but I have not dared to see if this work with an on-going project ;-)
