Are you serious with this??
Better look for a replacement as soon as possible, or you'll end up screwing your whole machine.
And about the software, I use WinDVD 6 Platinum (is the best player I've ever know )

IPhone movies skip frames in iPhoto

iPhone movies skip frames when imported into iPhoto

When you upgraded to Snow Leopard did you select the option to install the Quicktime 7 Player? If not the start a reinstall, select the Custom install option and install just the Quicktime 7 Player. That will let you play the movies from iPhoto (although it opens and plays outside iPhoto with Quicktime Player.

Burned DVD movies skip/freeze on regular DVD player

I've made a few home movies, and burned them on to DVDs. When I play them on a regular DVD player (Sony), the movie skips/freezes from time to time. I've burned the same movie on my other MacBook, and this does not happen.
Could it be that the SuperDrive on this MacBook is broken?

Hi,
I would take a look at the following:
1. Try a different brand blank DVD medium when you burn the disc. Set top players seem to be a lot more sensitive to the brand of disc than computers.
2. Burn the iDVD project to an image file. Share the image file over to another Mac and burn it there. See if you still have problems with playback.
3. If you still had problems with an image file burned on a different computer, then you know it must be something in the data format of the disc. I've experienced problems with some set top DVD playback machines that can not handle sustained high bit rate content. As far as I know, iDVD uses a relatively simple encoding strategy, and does not do much to reduce the information content of the encoded video stream. If you start with a high resolution QuickTime or DVI import, playback machines with limited disc performance might not be able to keep up.
I did some fairly superficial Google searches and looked at iDVD, and I didn't see any means of setting up the bit rate and encoding strategies that iDVD will use. Perhaps, somebody with a little more experience can comment?... A professional DVD encoding software suite will do a multi-pass encoding - once to figure out optimization and then again to render output. That sort of analysis might require an over-night run to make the disc. I have a feeling Apple avoided that in order to make iDVD more consumer friendly. It also avoids stealing market from more professional products like Final Cut.
You might be able to go into iMovie HD to edit the clips. You could send them to QuickTime, and reduce the bit rate there, then import the QuickTime clips into iDVD.

DVD movie skips and breaks up when playing on tv

Ok, I have made a DVD using iDVD 08 and it works perfect for all my movies and slideshows (in my dvd player) except one.
There is one movie that breaks up or skips forward when I try and play it.
The movie seems fine in imovie and plays on my Mac with no errors!
I am at a loss what to do to fix this? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

My guess is you can't fix this type of issue. It depends largely on the dvd player and secondly on your media and the burn speed you chose.
You can try burning a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then lowering the burn speed to 4x or lower. Use verbatim and Maxell for best results. A third option would be to try a quality DVD Lens Cleaner kit from either Maxell or 3M. (don't use less expensive brands since they can actually cause more issues than they solve).
Btw .... Disc Images burned with Roxio Toast (as opposed to iDvd) to quality media such as those already mentioned above often play well on a wider variety of set tops under these circumstances ....
Good luck on this.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

HD 1280 x 720 , Skips Frames with Quicktime 7.*

Quicktime skips frames when I'm trying to play a video I created with my Digital camera.(Kodak Z1275) Its not the camera because it plays flawlessly on screen. I upload the file to the computer and Quicktime skips a few seconds throughout the entire file.When I uploaded the HD 1280 x 720 file to Youtube it plays flawlessly.
So the conclusion is its not my computer since the file plays perfect with Youtubes encoder.(I even brought the file to the store I purchased the camera from, the same problem) The Problem is with Quick time player!
Also when I select 1/2 speed playback speed in the Quick time player it is very smooth!Conclusion Player encoder does not like 1280 mode?
I have the latest version and even went to the trouble of purchasing Quick time Pro 7 (that I regret)
Any help from the apple gang?

The only conclusion is Quicktime is not able to process the larger 1280 x 720 format. Only the MAC boys can help! You have to get enough people complaining or find another player encoder that will work with the .mov file.
Kodak, the makers of the camera blame it on Quicktime's obsolete program. Not enough users to make it worth changing or maybe its in the works now.
Seems like Kodak got ahead of Quicktime's ****** player

Movie skips/freezes periodically after burned using Disk Utility

I am trying to make copies of some home movies from the original DVD using Apple's Disk Utility. First, I created the master .cdr image and have burned several DVDs with inconsistent results.
I am using 8x Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs and burning at 4x or 2x speed using the internal Superdrive. Sometimes the burned DVD will skip or freeze periodically, sometimes it will work fine.
I need to resolve this issue so that I can have consistent quality burns. Any suggestions?

I had this problem a year or two ago.
I don't think the built in imac DVD read /write drives are up to the task.
For quick reliable results:
Toast Titanium 8 and a Sony External Rewritable Drive.
The sony is a noisy brute but its fast and reliable.
I've burnt 100's of Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs and had very few failures.

Files seems to skip frames when importing into Premiere Elements 10

I am importing .mts files from a sdhc card. When trying to import the .MTS Files into Adobe Premiere Elements 10 it skip frames at clip transitions. When i place the files onto the timeline it looks like a 'jump' between clips, as if frames were missing. The same happens when I import .vob files from a dvd. A long seqence gets interrupted by a quick drop in audo and a quick jumpcut. How do i fix this ?

As John says, matching your project settings to your video is vital to a successful editing experience. If you've got a match, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
Also, AVCHD video often requires at least a quad core or i7 processor with a good load of RAM to edit. If you don't have a powerful, well-tuned system, it could well be that the skipping you're seeing is just your computer unable to process the video data fast enought.
How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? What OS are you running?

Flash to quicktime skipping frames

I'm exporting a complex flash movie to quicktime and it is skipping frames on export. The resolution is 1400 X 1020 and the frame rate is 30 fps. How can I get flash to render each frame?

Apple TV preset : Compressing DVCPRO HD footage : Results in skipped frames

I've been super confused about the recent issue. I've got a 7 minute sequence in FCP which I'm sending to compressor. I'm compressing for my Apple TV. I use the preset, in the Apple Devices folder.
The movie compresses fine, in about 10 minutes. Final size is about 250MB, 960x540.
I have 4 spots where the movie will actually skip a frame. It's VERY detectable because these are Motion sequences with some very flowing camera movements. A skipped frame is like getting punched in the eye. This is seen on my MacPro and my Apple TV.
I have recreated this issue about 10 times, always with the same spots on the movie. I can't get rid of them. I've checked the original files, the original sequence, and there's no skipped frames. I've exported to H.264, no problem there. I've exported to iPod, and the same thing happens.
What's the commonality?... the m4v compressor.
Now, I've imported the full DVC PRO HD film, as exported from FCP, and put it in iTunes. Then I choose "convert for Apple TV." Final size is 190MB, about 60 MB smaller than the compressor version. Reason?.... Who knows what the settings are for iTunes to AppleTV?
This version plays smoothly, with no jumps or skipped frames, on my MacPro, and on my AppleTV.
What's is up? I am trying to figure out if my DVCPRO HD sequence is trying to shove too much info into an m4v sequence using the preset, and the result is that compressor just throws a frame away here and there.
This totally *****.

To be perfectly blunt, you are best off going 960x540 since you're shooting 60i.
If you were shooting a 24p format it would make sense try to 1280x720 (since all you'd have to do is resize) but since you're attempting to retime as well (and only gaining frame judder, the choppiness that you speak of) it's not worth the time and effort. Sure you can export your FCP timeline out to a reference QT movie and drop that into Compressor - creating a PhotoJPEG movie at 1280x720 and 23.98 (making sure Frame Controls are all cranked up to Better, and output set to Progressive) but it'll take forever.
As for export to TV, I personally always use QuickTime Pro's Export to MPEG-4 feature, since I can make an h.264 encoded .mp4 file that uses Multi-Pass (being careful to adjust settings to within the TV's specs). All the AppleTV presets - even in Compressor 3 - are subpar and single-pass.
Of course, if you'd rather have a .mov file, just use Compressor to do that.

Jog Shuttle - Rewind Skips frames

I am trying to figure out how to encode in Quicktime a mpeg4 or h.264 movie with a smooth rewind (shuttle). I am coaching a sport and trying to teach with the video. After encoding, the video plays fine and actually the fast forwards goes smoothly. But the rewind skips frames . I capture from my camera in dv (avi file) with 720x480 and 29.97 f/s with about 3m bit rate. I don't care the size after I encode. When I play the avi file in QT it rewinds fine and QT goes through each frame, but when I encode to mpeg4 or h.264, the video skips on rewind. Any help would be awesome!!!

Sorry Kyn Drake, here's the def. of what a b-frame and bidirectional frame are....
Bidirectional Frames:
Using bidirectional prediction increases the compression efficiency and the quality of your video. A bidirectional frame is a frame created by the compressor and inserted between intraframes and/or interframes. The compressor analyzes the frames before and after the bidirectional frame and then creates and inserts a frame based on the average quality of both.
Has nothing to do with playing a video backwards...
B-Frames:
The advantages to using the B-Frames are to achieve higher quality of the video and the ability to have playback scalability. By default, the B-Frame setting is set to off. The options in the drop-down menu are: off, Auto, 1, and 2.

Home DVD Player skipping

I am tired of my home DVD player skipping at random spots while watching a movie. I can take the same DVD that is skipping on my home DVD player, and watch it on my computer's DVD player and there is no skipping. The DVD player isn't bad; well, unless I bought 2 consecutive bad ones in a row (but I doubt it).
My main focus here is: Are there DVD players on the market that have a pre-fetch of some kind? I was hoping that this would eliminate the skipping that is being seen most of the time in my home. The DVD's I am playing while the skips take place are scratch-free and commercially manufactured. I figured if there was a 15-sec to 30-sec pre-fetch, that any reading problem encountered can be taken care of by the time the player has reached the next point in the movie.
If there is such a thing as pre-fetching, is it called pre-fetching when I look for it on the box? Are there other features that I can look for that make viewing a movie smoother. Even if I do have a scratchy DVD, are there players that are specifically built to read through these imperfections? And if so, what would I look for in the features section that tells me a certain player can read scratchy DVD's better than others?
I've always settled for the cheapest, in home electronic equipment. Now, I'd rather look at other dimensions in home entertainment, besides the cheapest price. I'm not always thinking that the most expensive is the best, but there's a happy median somewhere, I hope.
Thanks,
Terry

Buy a reasonable quality brand DVD player. The cheapest ones have weak lasers and/or poor thermal management (My family's first DVD player would warm up the disc to the point where you'd have to eject it and let it cool down after an hour or two, or it would start skipping)
You don't need the most expensive, I agree, but don't get the absolute cheapest. Look at reviews of various players to see what people say. DVD players already do some buffering, but some of the cheapos have such weak lasers they simply can't read discs reliably once they warm up.
ALSO: In general, my experience is that DVD recorders do a better job at reading discs than read-only drives (due to the fact that the laser and thermal management are WAY more than that which is needed for just reading a disc.) For a long time, my Pioneer 4x DVD-R drive would read discs nothing else would read (this was back when DVD-R drives were new and quite expensive.)

IDVD 08 audio/video sync drift toward end of DVD movie - fix/workaround?

Anyone know how I can fix this issue? It's driving me crazy.
I've just spent a few evenings in iMovie 08, editing together the video of my son's birth. All looked & amazingly good in iMovie. The "Large" .m4v file output by iMovie - Shared with the Media Browser - plays perfectly in Quicktime too.
However, after adding that shared movie to iDVD 08, and burning a DVD, I noticed that the audio sync drifts toward the end of the Movie when plated back. At the start of the DVD all seems well, but by the end of the ~1hr 20 minute movie the audio is unbearably out of sync with the video. Completely unwatchable.
After a little Googling I came across some reports that iDVD might not deal well with video that's been recorded with 12-bit audio. I've confirmed that my camcorder is (was!) set to 12-bit rather than 16-bit (the default, I'm sure). So if that's the problem I'm hosed... it's not like I can get a retake on that footage
Is there a reasonable workaround for this issue? I'm obviously unable to re-take the video (or the other 10 hours of DV video tape I've yet to use in an iMovie project). Ideally I'd like Apple to release a patch for this. Shouldn't it be possible for iDVD to account for audio that was originally recorded in 12-bit... even if it's just a checkbox you have to select to tip it off?
Then again, perhaps this is totally unrelated to the 12-bit issue, and this is just a run of the mill bug?
As I said... iMovie generates a MPEG4 video file of the Movie that looks/sounds perfect, so it seems this sync issue's being created somewhere in iDVD as it's rendering the audio/video to burn to the DVD...
Thanks in advance.

I've tried most of the options I can think of, and the audio sync drift issue continues on this ~1hr 12 minute iMovie/iDVD 08 project.
A couple of promising ideas tried used QT Pro, to export the audio track from the iMovie generated MPEG-4 file - as a WAV file, resampling to 48kHz and 16-bit... then Adding this back to the video track in the MPEG-4 file (having deleted the original audio track). In another test I also tried the Add to Selection and Scale option. Oddly enough I think the Add to Selection and Scale attempt generated more sync issues than before in the final DVD movie... so I stuck with the MPEG-4 file containing the video track and the added, resampled at 48kHz & 16 bit, WAV audio track.
This was saved as a self contained Movie file, producing a QT .mov file. I moved this .mov file into the iDVD projects directory structure so that it was avalable in iDVD's Media Browser. I then reworked the iDVD project to use this QT large.mov file, instead of the original iMovie large.m4v file.
As a reminder... the original large.m4v file has the following properties:
29.97 FPS H.264 Decoder, 960 x 540, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
0:01:12:07.16 duration
The resampled and saved QT MOV file has the following properties:
29.97 FPS H.264 Decoder, 960 x 540, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
0:01:12:07.16 duration
BOTH versions of this Movie file play flawlessly within QT Pro... there's no audio sync drift evident toward the end of the movie unless I use iDVD 08 to burn either movie file to a Physical DVD (or DVD Disk Image). In both cases the resultant DVD Movie exhibits significant audio sync drift as the ~1hr 12 minute movie progresses. The sync goes out by ~ <= 1 second based on a rough visual assessment.
I've not yet tried to burn either the original iMovie produced MPEG-4 video file or my QT Pro tweaked audio track .MOV file version to a DVD on my PC...
... But I have used an application called Burn (referenced in this earlier/archived iDVD sync drift forum post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1332100 by user F Shippey - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/) to take the QT Pro tweaked .mov file version of the original MPEG-4 file and burn it to a DVD...
Results:
The Burn app burnt DVD plays with NO audio sync issues!... Even though it was generated from the same audio tweaked (48kHz/16-bit resampled) QT Pro .mov file.
However, whenever I burn a DVD using iDVD 08 the audio sync gradually drifts. It matters not whether I use the original iMovie 08 generated MPEG-4 movie file, or the QT Pro version of that file with the resampled audio track (the same one that works fine with Burn).
It sure looks to me like iDVD has a problem... Again, refer to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1332100 for someone else who seems to have run into similar challenges.
Am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.
