Framerate problems playing HD in fullscreen.

I am watching an HD video purchased from the iTunes store. The video plays perfectly (both within iTunes or with Quicktime Player directly) at actual-size. However, if I put the video in Fullscreen mode in either player, the video becomes choppy, especially in high action scenes. It seems almost like it is dropping frames.
The odd thing is that the video is 1280x720 and my screen resolution is 1280x1024, so bringing it to Fullscreen is not resizing the video at all.
I have looked into the video and advanced options in Quicktime and experimented with the DirectX settings as well disabling full-screen controls, but to no avail. I was hoping for a frame-drop control, an option to sync frame-rate to my monitor, or anything else other media players often have, but no such options exist for Quicktime.
I would like to play the video in Fullscreen to remove the bright colored Quicktime frame. Is there a known fix for this?

If you weren't playing a DRM-encumbered movie, I would say to use an external player such as VLC.
So, you played with the Advanced DirectX settings -- did you try just disabling "Enable Direct3D Video acceleration"?
You could also check if your video card drivers are up-to-date.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).
Linux AMD video driver : Catalyst v14.4 (amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6.zip)

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb

K8t neo fis2r framerate problem

i have an athlon 64 3400+, msi k8t neo fis2r, 120 gb seagate barracuda, corsair xms series pc3200 512MB ram(with black heatspreader), gainward geforce fx5700ultra, 500w allied power supply. I'm having terrible framerate problems when i'm playing games. It doesn't matter what game i'm playing...i've been playing unreal tournament as a tester game. At first I thought i had a bad video card so i sent that back. I'm still having the same problem. I've flashed my bios, sp1a, all the newest chipset drivers, set my RAM timings, newest video card drivers (53.03), everything. I don't know what is going on. My games run at the same frame rate at 640x480 then when they are on 1024x768. When I turn vsynch on, i'd say about half or maybe more of the time i'd have bad frame rate, when I turn vsynch off my games play reallllly fast. It seems to jump in and out of normal rate of play. I was talking to my friend and he thought it was the timing chip on my motherboard. I'm on my last straw and i'm about to send this board back for a replacement.

I dont know what you mean by am i letting windows install it...but i'm using live update to download it then it automatically installs itself. I'll try that uninstall the agp thing on the 4 in 1 but I doubt it'll do anything seeing as how i've probably reinstalled windows 4 or 5 times and installed the 4 in 1 drivers each time to no avail. I really think my mobo's agp slot is bad or something on my mobo is bad. I was using a 300W psu for awhile, that might have done something to the board.

Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
Here are my computer specs
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
Intel Core2 Quad q8200
ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
Gigabyte Motherboard
4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Keith,
The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
Good luck,
Hunt
* Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

Creative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AAC

GCreative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AACZ All right, this is driving me nuts. I have a Zen 32GB and a Vista 32-bit machine. I have been encountering a lot of problems playing AAC files on my Zen--many of the tracks stop short, and the error message "There is a problem playing this audio" appears.
These are AAC files that I ripped off my own CDs using iTunes, so there are no DRM issues. ? I'm not sure if the problem lies in the actual ripping process (although the problem tracks play on my iPod without problem), the importing into my Zen using Zen Media Explorer, or my Zen trying to play the tracks. I've tried turning off my antivirus program, as well as checking the box in iTunes that double-checks for audio errors after ripping. I thought at first that it could be related to scratched CDs, but it also happens with pristine CDs.
I have latest firmware (.2.03) installed, and also the latest version of Zen Media Explorer.
I've searched this forum as well as Google for this exact error message, and don't get any related hits. Can anyone out there help me? Please?

Thanks for that response--I was beginning to feel a little neglected. It's disappointing, though--one of the reasons I bought the Zen was because it advertised AAC compatibility, so that I could have just one library of AAC files for my iPod and Zen, instead of entirely duplicate libraries of AAC and WMA files. Most of the AAC files I've imported into the Zen play fine--I just have to check all of the tracks to see which ones have that audio error. Usually, if I re-import the track, it comes out fine (eventually).

Problems playing mp3s after installing iTunes 7.1

I installed iTunes 7.1 today. After that, I have problems playing mp3 songs on my iPod (80 GB). The AAC-files play well. The mp3 songs can also be played on iPod via iTunes when its connected to my computer, but when I disconnect from the computer, the mp3 songs starts, and play for about 2 second, and then jumps to the end of the song and stop.
Very thankful for any help.

that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

Hi eversonjm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea. See this article for instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

Problem playing Audio CD (.cda files) on Windows Vista

Hey,
I am having problems playing an Audio CD. On XP everything is working fine. On Vista, the files seem to be playing, but I am not getting any sound (playing .wav files for example is also no problem, it's just the cda files from an audio cd).
This problem does not only occur in my own code, also the JMStudio application produces no sound playing tracks from the cd.
Is there anything that needs to be configured in Vista in order to make that work?
Thanks a lot,
sirpreis

I should point out there's no such thing as playing a CDA file. CDA files are simply indexing information about where to find the actual track data on the disk.
My best guess is that Vista's sandbox won't let Java go and fetch the actual audio tracks from the CD, because it's more restrictive than Vistas.
Other good guesses would including that whatever native code JMF uses to fetch CD audio works in XP but it doesn't work in Vista. That would certainly make sense...
If JMStudio doesn't work, your code probably wont ever work either. Sorry :-/

Problems playing movies from Time Capsule

I am having a problem playing movies from my Time Capsule to my Apple TV. I can make them work but have to go through the following process: I have to play the movie through iTunes and then stop it, and then go play the movie on apple TV. I have to do this each time I want to watch one of the movies. Any thoughts on this issue?

Hopefully this information will help. I have an aiport extreme connected directly to my Cable Modem. I then setup the Time Capsule to extend the network updstairs. I have everything running on 802.11n. Wireless connection is great and I get about 13-14mb download speeds when I do a speedtest.
I must say though, copying data to the Timecapsue via wireless is slow...
I checked my apple TV this morning, and the first movie I clicked on worked great, so did the second one, then I tried a third and got the following error: "The Selected Video could not be played. The Format was not recognized"
Then I went back to play the original two that worked, and they now gave me the same error... it almost looks like it is looking connection to them, or synching or something..

Final Cut Pro Problem playing and exporting

I am having problem playing and exporting in final cut pro. I made an animation in maya and used batch render to render a folder of images then imported the folder to final cut pro but it doesn’t play properly in the video window or even when I exported to quicktime. Do u know why?
Please give me your response asap.
Thank you very much!

As the link that Russ posted describes, use quicktime player to open the image sequence and then do a save. Bringing in an image sequence directly into fcp will cause extreme performance problems in my experience.
Describe the setting (pixel dimensions, color space, etc) of the original files. One important question is whether there is an alpha channel associated with the files. You may want to change the codec when you do the save in quicktime player to something more fcp friendly like one of the flavors of prores.

I am having problems playing my videos from my iphone on my laptop

I have an iphone 5. I have not yet updated to ios 7. I am having problems playing my videos from my iphone on my laptop. the sound is jumpy and the playback is slow/jumpy. i have tried various players but none seem to be able to play back properly. Help!

Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format
