Front Row will freeze in the Video section

Hi everyone
I have recently noticed that when I go to the movie trailers of the Front Row, after hitting the menu button on the remote to get out of the movie trailers section and to the main menu, the computer freezes for about 10 seconds everytime and thn everything is ok. I have checked every other section of the Front Row like the music, photos etc... and there is no problem. I have reinstalled Front Row, and I still have the exact same problem. my software is up to date and everything else is fine. I' starting to think that maybe there is a bug with the code. If anybody else has the same probelem or the solution to the problem, please let me know
Thank you

i just have 1 movie in the list, i used to have none and it would still freeze up. I've had this problem on my last mbp and i have read about some other people having the same problem it only happens in the Movies menu, the section just freezes up and if i press a bunch of button, all the commands will be excuted a while later very quickly, like a rubber band effect.
So i'm guessing it's not the movies since it happens with no movies as well.
This is reallyt the only feature I would really make good use of in FR and I want to have this problem resolved, or i guess i will just have to wait for a fix if one ever comes. Too bad I wanted to show it off to the other designers who would love this feature if it worked.
I love this mbp so far, (but it does get very hot when plugged in.)
If this problem is not the norm, shoudl I look into returning my mbp again?
last time they made me pay 200$ for the restocking fee even though it was faulty , and i dont' want to pay that again. This was at the Mac store in California, Bay street.
any help is appreciated ,

  • Front Row doesn't display masked videos correctly

    I have an Mpeg2 file (640x480) that I've masked using Quicktime Pro so that it removes the black letterboxing (625x362). When I play the video back using quicktime, it displays fine, taking up the full width of my screen and not quite filling the height.
    However, when I play the same file back in Front row, it takes up the full height, and doesn't quite take up the full width. However, the letterboxing has been removed, so the result is that my video plays back kinda "skinny".
    Am I doing something blonde? Is this expected behavior?

    Hello there,
    this maybe not will answer your question, but it explains issues with missing artwork in front row i've experienced.
    2 albums of my collection refused to display their artwork in front row (these artworks were displaying perfectly fine in itunes, coverflow, finder songs icons and ipods off course).
    After trying different things like deleting & replacing artwork, changing size of picture, and so on, nothing changed so i felt really disappointed...
    until....I remembered that i have created an itunes music store "wishing list", with 2 songs of these 2 albums. After deleting these 2 songs from the wishing list, everything is back to normal, and front row display correctly the artwork..
    thank you for reading, and hope it will help some of you guys.

  • Where does Front Row get its list of Videos?

    Where does Front Row get its list of Videos? And how do I purge this list? Front Row is listing Videos that no longer exist on my computer and when selected do nothing.
    I tried by trashing my prefs, but the same missing files are still in the list.

    ok, worked on it a little bit more... the only thing left was an entry in the library file, when you opened the xml file in safari you could find the entry. I didn't dare playing around with the file itself, but found a script called: "super remove dead tracks" on this website, which does the trick: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts01.php?page=1#removedeadsuper
    it worked great, nothing is showing up in front row any.

  • Front Row can't find the latest version of my iMovie project

    I need some help figuring out just where my iMovie project really is.
    I have been creating a project in order to learn how to manage all of the features of iMovie '09. I have revised many times and if I follow the path MacHD>Movies>iMovie Projects>first project and click to open, I see the most recent version.
    I have also shared using Media Browser and created an iDVD. Then I created a disc image of that and burned it using disc utility - just to see how all of that works. When I use DVD player to play it, I see the most recent version of my 'movie'.
    Next I tried to watch it using Front Row. When I open Front Row, then click through Movies to Movies Folder to iMovie Projects the computer tells me that there is no content. What I do have beneath the word Movies is the word Large. If I click on that, I get a much older version of the iMovie project that I thought had been discarded days ago.
    This is not a big deal. But I would like to know why Front Row can't find the most recent version of the project. I also would like to know why the old version is still there and reassurance that my latest version really has been saved and that it is 'safe'.

    I think that the movies that you see in Front Row are the ones that you shared to iTunes. However, if you click on the movies folder, you should see movies in your Media Browser. These are stored inside your RCProject file in the Movies/imovie Projects/<Project Name> container. If you right-click/Show Package Contents, you should see a Movies folder that has your movie.
    Also, there is a quirk in the Media Browser. If you have shared a movie to the Media Browser, and later change the movie, the Media Browser copy is deleted right then. You will see a warning message that says "This movie has already been shared. If you change it you will need to republish" (I am paraphrasing). So you have to re-share the movie for it to be in the Media Browser. However, copies you have shared to iTunes are not affected until you re-share.

  • How many rows will be allowed in Cusom Section?

    how many rows will be allowed in Cusom Section? can I modify the max rows setting?

    I think the hardcoded limit in Admin is 250.  However, I don't think 250 active rows in a single custom section on a specification would perform very well.  I would try not to exceed 30 active rows per section per specification.  Performance involves so many variables, it will depend on the type of extended attributes you have used in each cell.   For example, if you had one section with 10 columns and 30 rows and every cell had 15 radio button choices the section would take quite a while to render.   If helpful, you can always submit your custom section designs to support and we can review it for any potential gotchas.
    Thanks

  • Can't see the video section in the sore

    i bought an Ipod video and installed all software available, but i don't know why i don't see the video section in the store.
    can somebody help me?

    The iTunes video store is not available in all countries. Your profile states that you are from Portugal, and i could be that the videos are not available where you are. Eventually the iTunes music store will offer videos worldwide, but it can take some time.
    Hope this helps

  • Have a problem where I'll occasionally shift my computer (i.e. physically move it, say from the coffee table to my lap on the couch) and it will freeze and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal multicolored lines (closer to 100 lines than 5). Us

    Have a problem where I'll occasionally shift my computer (i.e. physically move it, say from the coffee table to my lap on the couch) and it will freeze and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal multicolored lines (closer to 100 lines than 5). Usually restarting (by holding the power button to turn it off) works. A few times that has resulted in the three beeps (RAM issue? -- I've since replaced my RAM [it *seemed* to stop it for a while, but maybe not]), but the second time it always works. Attempting to SSH into the computer during this state does not work. Please advise as to what to do/what reports I can run and post. I will take a pic next time it happens.

    Sounds like a problem with your GPU. Do you have an external display you could connect your machine to in order to test this? If the external display renders the same way, then your GPU is damaged. If the external renders fine, then the CPU display is damaged.

  • I received an email with a video attachment in wmv format. I want to saved it on my iPhone 4S but it doesn't give the option of saving the video attachment. How will I saved the video attachment?

    I received an email with a video attachment in wmv format. I want to saved it on my iPhone 4S but it doesn't give the option of saving the video attachment. How will I saved the video attachment?

    Even so, there is no way to "save" a file anyway. The only way to keep it is to keep the email with it attached. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe there is a way to add a video this way into the Videos app.

  • When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen.

    When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen. FF should be making a second row for these long pulldown menus, right?

    Nope, there is no second row. There should be a scroll arrow "button" at the bottom and the top of that drop-down to allow you scroll, or you can use the scroll wheel on the mouse scroll further down (or back up).

  • I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see.  The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video.  What can I do to be able to get these videos?

    I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see.  The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video.  What can I do to be able to get these videos?  I have all ready download Adobe Flash Player and installed it but it has not effect.

    Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv
    And Perian for everything else:
    http://perian.org/
    You should be able to play most videos with QuickTime player once both are installed.

    You might provide some additional information, such as what types of videos, from what cameras, and what version of LR4 you are using.

  • I'll be watching a movie in iTunes, and the movie will freeze, but the movie timer will keep going. Any idea how to fix?

    I'll be watching a movie in iTunes for Mac, and the movie itself will freeze, but the movie timer will keep going but the movie won't continue playing. I've tried restarting my Mac and restarting iTunes, with no luck.

    Hi Sniper Trago,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is a payback issue with one or more movies in iTunes on your Mac. If the movies weren't purchased from the iTunes Store, do you see the same issue with content downloaded from the iTunes Store? The article below provides some suggestions that will rule out conflicts caused by plug-ins that you might be using with iTunes.

    Without warning, my iMac (early 2008) will freeze.  The screen will go white or black and green vertical stripes.  I have to hold the power button to reboot.  Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?

    Reset the SMC and PRAM. If it doesn't work, boot in safe mode -Mayús button during boot- and do your normal activity
