Having trouble playing back GO PRO HD Hero 2 .mp4 video

Im currently running OS X 10.5.8, 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 500GB HD 7200rpm.
I just picked up the GO PRO HD Hero 2 Camera and my computer can not play back the 720 or 1080 type videos without having major lag/skipping issues in either QT or FCP. I have tried everything I can think of to speed uo my computer but can't seem to solve the issue. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas? It seems like my computer should'nt have any issues playing back these video files.
Thanks so much!!!
Austin

Just needed to reformat via MPEG streamclip to .MOV and everything works great!

Having troubles playing back songs from imported CD

Ok, I imported a CD using the the button on the top righ corner. It seemed to go very fast, which I found odd. Now I go to play the songs that I imported, and it just cycles through them. It does not play them, It just goes from one to the next. The CD works fine in my car, so that is not the problem. I also burned this CD from iTunes not too long ago, so it should be the right format. I'm stumped.

Anytime iTunes starts skipping songs like the way you have explained means either the file is corrupt or in a format it can't understand. If the files are MP3's you can try playing them in Windows Media Player. If media player can play them from start to end, then iTunes has some issue with them. I say play them from start to end cuz I had a problem with iTunes skipping songs and would play in Windows Media, but when Media player got to the end of the song, it sounded all weird and poppy with a mix of some other song I never heard. thats when I knew the file was corrupt and that was the reason iTunes wouldn't touch it

Server having trouble playing back certain .mv4 or .mp4 files

Hello folks,
I'm really stumped about why certain .mv4 or .mp4 files do not playback well off of the server for my website www.listenup.org -- a large archive of youth media video.
At first, I had a few files that weren't working because there were non-alphanumeric characters in the names. But even after renaming them on the server and in the database, they still sit on the site longer before opening.
I can't send live to the site the videos that really aren't working at all (which I have mostly solved anyway -- users tacking on the wrong extensions or having non-alphanumerics in name), but here are the real mysteries -- the ones that load for a considerable time longer than the others before displaying the download progress bar quicktime playback tool.
All of these videos do work. And by leaving one or another sitting there for about 30sec - 1 min it should appear (and they are pretty good anyhow). At the end of the downloading process, you can right click and use "Save as Source" (these are all on Creative Commons licenses of various sorts).
Here are a few problem videos:

http://www.listenup.org/screeningroom/view.php?media=cbd34b179c2f3e2a758a3d840ef e7d2c
And here are several collections where everything seems to be fine, even with videos with rather hefty datarates, videos that are iPod video 640x426 or 320x240, you name it:

If there is some processing action that I could do to these to make sure that they load immediately when a visitor clicks on them I will be happy. (Even if the progress is very slow! that's a member's prerogative whether they want to compress video with a larger web visitor community in mind!) I'd rather not rerun these through iTunes or similar to "Convert to iPod" because a) I don't know what I'm doing that is making the files better, and b) it almost always seems to make the files bigger with no perceptible gain in quality. If that is what I should do, though, I can certainly do that and replace these on the server.
Thanks so much for your QT guru-ness. It is times like these that I wish I knew more about quicktime from a developers point of view!
Thanks,
Matt

This is very helpful! How do I create .m4v or .mp4 vidoes that "Fast start"? Just changing the extension doesn't work -- and exporting takes time. I'd love another fast solution like this for opening and "Save As" -- that results in the MPEG-4 extensions that my users are expecting. (Yes, QT is a container format, and yes this .mov has the same media H.264 media streams, but we'd like folks to be able to drag these into itunes or similar and get them quickly on iPods.)
Thanks!

Trouble playing back videos on my iPod touch

I recently started having trouble playing back video on my iPod touch. I have the most recent versions of iPod software, iTunes, and Quicktime. The video podcasts sync just fine but only play audio...no video. I basically get the first frame of the video and that's it. I have tried restoring the iPod, resetting it, deauthorizing/reauthorizing my iMac (using Leopard), etc. Nothing works. Interestingly, my wife has a nano and she suddenly cannot sync videos even though it was working fine just 2-3 weeks ago. These are basic m4v files that are downloaded from iTunes, so they should work. I believe this started after the last iPod software update but I can't be certain. Is anyone else having this problem?

Try starting video playback under the video section-not the audio section.

I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?

I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?
Many thanks

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

Problem playing back dvc pro video

Hi,
I'm currently having hugh problems in playing back DVC pro 50 format in Logic Pro. The logic Pro i had is in a mac with 2.26 duo core intel with 8g of ram. It seem that the video never play in the right speed. It's a problem on the new release of logic Pro?
Thanks.

No HDV decks will allow you to monitor external video from FCP through them UNLESS they are in the recording mode. So they just don't support this like DV devices do.
You need to look at a card for this. Least expensive would be the Intensity cards from Decklink. I like the MXO from Matrox too for this too... does more output, but has no input... I use an Io HD for that... and turn that slow rendering HDV to ProRes.. much faster rendering, and visually lossless.

Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased? I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

Some clarification may help.
You say you cannot boot normally. It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility? (Which keyboard combinations)?

I just downloaded a TV episode from the iTunes Store, but so far am having trouble playing the full episode. (It only plays the :20 "preview")...what am I doing wrong???

How are you trying to play it ? The full episode should have downloaded into the TV Shows part of your iTunes library - is that where you are trying to play it from ?

Blackberry having trouble playing youtube videos

I own a blackberry curve 8530 and its having trouble playing youtube videos. It plays youtube videos up to 59 seconds and then it stops. It gives me the same error message saying:
"An error has occured attempting to play the media".
I have tried turning on and off my phone, pressing alt+enter+del, and doing the battery pull. None of those methods have worked.
Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? Ive pretty much have tried everything i could think of and none of the forums seems to have a solution.
Is the phone the problem or is youtube?
If you know of the solution, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello hashbrown602,
The following post by Cory from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog outlines a few steps you can try to successfully play videos from YouTube.

If you still have issues after going through each of the steps, you may want to contact your wireless service provider to check your data plan settings.
