DVD - video skips and sound also

I am running bootcamp on my macbook pro, and when trying to watch commercial DVD's I find that they play great in mac os, but the video and sound skips in windows? I tried playing it in windows media player and real player but still skips The weird thing is it was working fine a couple of days ago!
Does anyone know what could be the problem? With my PC laptop last year I found it started to happen just before the hard drive failed! Ive only just converted to a macbook and its 3 weeks old!
Also, please dont suggest I take it to get looked at etc, I bought this over ebay for nearly full price, advertised with '1 year warranty' but the seller fails to tell me theres no reciept. As much as I understand, apple says it has to have a reciept
I would appreciate anyones help!

Since Muse doesn't organize the project and its files like Dremweaver (all files in a single folder). How can I manage my site (containing all the media)  in order to upload it to a server?

    Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
    RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as  it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
    Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
    Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
    What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
    If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

  • Movies skip and Sound timing is off

    Hello,
    Just got a new computer with vista and when I try to watch downloaded movie, the movie skips and the sound is off timing. Tried to go to support website and work the fixes but, none of them worked. Also at the bottom a little disclaimer that said movies may not play correctly with the "brand new" video card that I have. Using Windows Vista Professional.

    Might be a good idea to remove the video clips completely to see if this helps resolve the out of sync issue. Or you can search this forum for the topic in question. Namely, video and audio out of sync. You mentioned multiple camera sources. This isn't uncommon when at least one or more of your sources was shot with anything other than 16 bit audio. So, search this forum for 16 bit audio also. It should provide you with a link to apple's KB which explains why it's important to stay with 16 bit as opposed to 12 bit audio which some consumer grade camcorders will default to.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • Audio and Video skipping and jumping

    WUTFDT3   getTV channel is skipping and jumping in the audio and video. It will skip and jump for about 10 to 20 seconds and then be fine for 30 seconds to a minute. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me

    Your internet connection might be the problem. I am a fellow student also and my school's wireless network is always slower than the ethernet. And also, did you try to watch the TV show while it is downloading? I know it can but I suspect that might be the problem too. (so basically I don't know what is going to too) But if there is a ethernet port on your wall use the ethernet connection and watch it after it downloads completely. You also said that you purchased it twice? You don't have to do that. Email Apple and they should let you download it again for free and maybe they can give you credit for the second download. Here is the link:

    Good luck.

  • Front row plays dvd video but no sound

    I tried several dvds in front row and I can't get any sound from them. I can play avi type movies, music and on but I get no sound from dvd's. I can play them on dvd player and get sound but not front row. been running into alot of quirks since the leopard upgrade. hope they patch it soon.

    try to isolate the issue to front row by playing it in dvd player. you may get an error message saying that dvd player cannot run because it is being used by another program in which case you have to go to applications/utilities/activity monitor.app find the front row process and control-click quit process or highlight click quit in the upper left hand corner of activity monitor then select quit. run the dvd in dvd player.app and see if it repeats the problem. if not then most likely it's a front row issue. if it happens again try another dvd player software. if you find that it happens on both dvd player.app and front row but not a third then it would most likely be be a dvd player.app issue in which you locate the plist file in library/preferences/ quit out both front row and dvd player.app to ensure it doesn't recreate a duplicate plist file then move the original to trash then open dvd player.app and try again. if all of this fails and it seems hopeless before going to a fresh install or archive and install I recommend update install. I have used this to fix what seemed to be broken and incurable apps on several macs now with success. but try the other stuff first to save you some time if possible. as of now all of my apps other than those non-compatible with Leopard are functioning just fine with the occasional bump in the road. Fixes are necessary as there are quite a few needed but I ran into the same thing with Tiger when it first came out and Tiger was a great OS.

  • Quicktime video skips and freezes after exporting from FCP

    I have tried exporting from Final Cut a few different ways, but my QT file had short skips and freezes in the video (the audio is perfect).
    I have done this same thing several time with no problems at all. What am I doing wrong?

    DETAILS
    What are you exporting?
    How are you exporting... QT Movie, Conversion, what settings?
    What drive are you exporting to?
    What version of FCP and QT?

  • Itunes videos skip and are not synced with sound. Using windows 7.

    Videos are not synced with sound and skip in itunes only, using windows 7. No other video issues, only in itunes.

    It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
    I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
    If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

  • H/p model a6220n-when playing online video it freezes up and sound also

    when I play a video after approximatly 15-20 seconds into it video freezes. sound seems to keep going but skips because video starts skipping forward. I hope someone will give me a suggestion what I can do to fix it. it's very frustrating. I can't even watch any video without it freezing then will continue to skip. HELP Dave..................

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Video images and sound are out of sync

    Hi, I'm new to videocasts so please forgive me. I have a few video podcasts that play fine in iTunes and in other iPods but audio and images become out of sync when I play it on my Nano. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    What format were the original items ?
    What frame rate are they in the original ?
    What format are they on the AppleTV (H264 video AAC audio is the most common, but there are others) ?
    What is the video frame rate now ?
    Most out of syncs come from an imperfect attempt to encode for AppleTV. ie. DVD frame rate is 29.97fps. Many encode this to 30fps. So the movie plays 0.1% too fast, too little for you to notice, but at the end of a 100 minute film, the audio is 6 seconds out of sync with the video. Or 3 seconds on a 45 minute TV show.
    Also check the source. I'd had DVDs (Alien Resurrection) jump 10 seconds out of sync in the middle of the movie. Back to the shop for that one.

  • Videos skipping and stopping.

    Several videos, all correct format, will play for a certain amount of time, pause, and then, several seconds later, will begin to play only audio, skipped forward the amount of time the video was paused. Then again, several seconds later, the video will kick in.
    Also, several different videos will pause randomly, then I will hit play, and it will begin to play with NO audio. Why is this?

    what format do you have the files in?
    Did you convert them with anything?

  • Copying home DVD videos, editing, and creating new DVDs

    Here is the situation:
    I have the 17" and this is my first Mac to own. I am computer literate with most my experience on Windows and Linux.
    That being said, I am trying to edit home videos; but they are already on DVDs. I got a LiteOn DVD/VCR combo recorder for my entertainment center. I have a camcorder that uses Hi-8 media and it is only able to use S-video/composite outputs (no USB or Firewire). I am using the LiteOn recorder to archive all my videos to DVDs because it has composite inputs. The LiteON has hardly any editing capability. So I want to take the "simple" DVDs I made, copy them to my HD, edit them (to cut out junk, create better menus, and give it as nice touch), and create new DVDs to distribute to my family and to get rid of old tapes.
    So in short, the process I want to do on the Mac is:
    1. Copy my family home DVDs
    2. Edit the video.
    3. Create more "creative" DVDs for my family.
    I have been looking around the website and reading posts and I don't see how to do this. I did try to create an image on disk utility, but it failed for whatever reason (maybe I am missing a step). How can I accomplish the three steps above?
    Please help.
    Thank you, Michael

    If these are true, standard video DVDs that the drive creates, there are a number of utilities that can extract and convert the videos for use in editing applications. A couple of utilities that people have reported success with are DVDxDV, Cinematize, and MPEG Streamclip (MPEG Streamclip is freeware but requires that you have Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component), and there are no doubt others.
    Once extracted, you can use iMovie to edit the clips and iDVD to burn them to a new DVD. Then you can use Disk Image or a third-party application such as Roxio's Popcorn to make additional copies.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Problem Viewing Youtube videos (skipping and stopp...

    Hi there,
    everytime i go to watch a youtube video the video will do one of a variety of things.
    1. The video never plays it will just show the buffering ring
    2. Videos that are short i.e. 30 seconds or so will start to play 1 or 2 seconds then skip straight to the end
    3. The video plays fine and then pauses repeatedly
    4. The video starts to play and somewhere during the video it skips right back to the start and plays from the beginning again.
    As you can imagine these problems are persistant and extremely annoying to say the least.  I would be very appreciative if anyone could offer any advice to sort these problems out.  I have bt Infinity (if that makes any difference)
    Cheers

  • Videos skip and are very slow when I play them in anything other than fulls

    When I try to play a video it is ok when it is in the small box in the corner but when i double click and get the video larger it skips alot and play very slow, but when I make the video full screen it play normally. How can I play the video in the mid size box in the right way.

    I'm having the same problem (iTunes 11.02!) .
    I think this one isn't resolved because it IS rare: I've had iTunes on about 7 different machines (Mac and PC) since it begain (2001). In fact I maintain the same library without issues for over 10 years. Anyway this is the first time it's occurred (in my case it's happened on a pretty recent Mac Laptop). But as you may have discovered, google/bing searches for similar problems yeild VERY few results.
    A guy at the Apple store was able to temporarily fix by doing some low level cache removal, that may give a glimpse to the reason, but is not a permanent fix.
    I'm going to try a few things will report back if I have any luck**.
    ***If anyone else want to give it a try: Before starting bookmark the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 this describes the location and purpose of most of the iTunes library files. And, any apple support docs on creating a  new iTunes library... I'm unwilling to try the let iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized " cause I have my own organization method.
