CS6 Video won't play properly

Video will not play properly [audio plays well video hangs ] in Adobe Photoshop CS6 running on a Win7-64 machine equipment with a quad-core processor. Video plays properly in Lightroom 4 and Bridge CS6.
What is the solution?

Hi Bill,
In addition to the material I supplied to Curt, the processor I'm using is an Intel Q 6600 running at 3.15 GHz. On the Windows experience Index which runs from 1 to 7.9. Both my CPU and RAM score 7.3. I am shooting video with a Canon 5D3 which uses the H.264 codec with a .mov file format. But my hardware does not seem to be a problem.
Yesterday I shot some video using the "IPB" compression method, and today using the "ALL-I" one frame at a time compression method and both ran perfectly fine in CS6. The video that will not play I shot in Europe with the same camera using the IPB compression. The file appears to load correctly, but if you try to move the time slider or press the diamond "start" button, the file-load Curly-Q appears and nothing happens. If you try to move the time slider, that too will hang. After some period of time, the time slider will jump forward, a new frame will appear and the file will freeze again. I did mix stills on the same memory card and subsequently corrected the "date created" time for the six-hour time difference between Europe and the US. That is the only thing that I can think of that may have caused some sort of problems. What are your thoughts?

After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

Videos won't play properly with Windows Vista

Hi there,
I recently installed iTunes on my new computer, which is running Windows Vista Home Premium. After transferring my library over I tried to play a video to test it out, but found that the videos were all extremely choppy. I installed new video drivers for my video card (Nvidia 8800 GT), made sure I had the latest version of iTunes (7.2.0.35) and went through most of the steps in this troubleshooting article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305392
I didn't perform the last two steps (Modify your System Drive Configuration and Disable Readyboost) because I didn't see "the IDE bus that contains your hard drive" and am not using a flash-based drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Custom Windows Vista
Edit: corrected link

Take a look here and see if any of the tips help:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista video playback performance issues
The suggestions for Vista are somewhat different than those for XP.
Good luck.

Dumb Blonde-video won't play in itunes//

can any one help?

So, the videos won't play properly in iTunes, but play properly on the iPod?
Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/).
If that doesn't work, try going through the steps in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706.
Video playback can be messed up by a lot of different things. That article covers a lot of them.

Video won't Play

For some reason my footage in FCP 6 won't play properly. I am using the new 24inch imac. I am editing a full feature film. I made a first cut of the film in one sequence that came out to about an hour long, and named it First Cut. I played the one hour sequence and had no problems with it. It didn't even seem to be dropping any frames. Last Sunday I captured some additional footage in a bin that I named October 4th. The new footage was running fine from the bin. I even made two new short sequences from that footage and kept it stored in the October 4th Bin later intending to cut it into the Master First Cut sequence (haven't done that yet though). Then yesterday when I opened up final cut pro, I noticed that all of the footage in the October 4th bin was reported as media offline. This was very strange cause I never moved any of the files around, and I searched my entire hard drive and it was nonexistant (not a big problem cause I could recapture it). I opened up some older bins to check that the rest of my footage was still intact and running, which it was. I then opened up the First Cut Sequence, hit play, and noticed that even though the scroll bar was rolling, there was no audio or video. I then went to check other older footage and noticed that no files at all from any project would play in the viewer or canvas. Scroll bar would move, but no sound or video. So I closed all projects and restarted final cut, and all of the old footage was running perfectly again. But then when I opened up the First cut sequence and hit play, I noticed that this file was playing without video or audio again, and this time it was also reporting that it was dropping frames. I then went to open up other projects to check on them, and again every other project in final cut wouldn't display video or audio even though the scroll bar was rolling. Basically every time I close all of the projects and restart final cut, everything works fine. But as soon as I open up First Cut and try to play it, every file in all bins or projects stops working properly. This problem started the same time that I found that the October 4th files went offline and disapeared nowhere to be found. I tried trashing the preferences, but it didn't solve the problem. I am wondering if I should reinstall final cut. But if the problem is some corrupted file either from the offline October 4th files or the First Cut sequence, then I am worried that the problem might arise again after the installation. Or is it possible that the First Cut sequence was so big that every time I open it is is confusing the entire program (even though this sequence had no problems in the past and those October 4th went offline for no logical reason).
Sorry for the awfully long message. If anyone has got any ideas or has had a similar experience I would really appreciate the feedback.

Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

Videos won't play in any browser

Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
I get this message.
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

Try deleting Flash cookies.

If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

Then restart your Mac.

MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

My videos won't play in my itunes

my videos won't play in my itunes- just blank and no sound but running like it was playing something

I have this same problem.
Did you install the QuickTime update?
I'm reinstalling mine, and seeing how that goes, cause I read on another thread that fixed a similar bug. I'll let you know how it goes.

Youtube videos do not play properly

I appreciate any suggestions with this problem. I have a Mac G4 laptop (PowerPC) running OS 10.4
Most web videos do not play properly on my computer, especially if they use Adobe Flash Player. (QuickTime videos play fine.)
I have had my internet connections checked by my provider, and the speed is very good, and the configuration is OK, so they do not understand why I am having trouble. When I try to play YouTube videos, I get a slideshow, with a new frame every 2 or 3 seconds. I have tried using my computer on my friend's internet connection, and it has the same problem. My friend can watch the same YouTube video perfectly well on his own computer, even though his download speed is much slower than mine.
I have already tried the following fixes several times:
complete uninstall of old versions of Flash Player
reinstall of the latest version of Flash Player. (My computer does recognize that the player is there, as I said, it just plays the video as a slideshow.)
Repairing permissions and restarting
resetting Safari, manually clearing cache, cookies, etc. (Although I also have the same problem in Firefox)
Downgrading to Flash Player 9
Trashing QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
Trying to trash all DivX files (I don't have any, it turns out)
making sure audio midi settings are for 44.1
trashing the Macromedia preferences folder
None of these things have helped me. Thank you in advance for any other ideas of things to try.

Rogerskth,
Sorry, I wasn't clear. My computer NEVER played flash videos properly, with any version of Flash. Considering that Flash is maxxing out my CPU power (as measured by the Activity Meter) I suppose that slow CPU speed really IS the cause of my problem. Since you have a faster computer, and your computer used to play the videos OK, it seems likely that your problem is SOME OTHER mysterious problem.
Bungee33,
You might be pleased to know that in English we have the same expression as the German which you quoted
"we in Germany say, that a horse given as a present must not be critizised by judging the teeth in the mouth of the animal"
In English, we say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel.

You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel. I've deleted history and data stuff and tried rebooting but still the same. Please help.

Are you using the YouTube app or Safari?
Could be the videos are Flash based, which Safari can't display.
Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
(Edit)
I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

(FIXED)
I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.
