HD QT Pixlet won't playback well on Intel based systems?

Hi all,
I've been using Pixlet for a few years with no troubles
on G5 computers at HD resolutions (1920x1080). I recently tried playback on our new Mac Pro and the playback is horrible.
Is there something which prevents Intel based Macs from using Pixlet at HD?

QT Kirk, you are mistaken. Pixlet is a great HD codec and was made for HD purposes. Been using it for years on many movies.
Bottom line, seems to be that there is some hardware in the PowerPC computers that is not in the Intel versions OR the code for Pixlet is not optimized for Intel chips yet and this prevents Intel based computers from playingback Pixlet at the proper frame rates if is is over 720x486 resolution.
Looks like we're going to hold on to our dual G5's for a while so we can playback 1920x1080 Pixlet with no trouble.

  • Quark Express 6.5 won't quit on my Intel-based iMac

    Hi,
    At work I use a 20-inch Intel Core 2 Duo iMac (with 2GB RAM installed) and run Quark Express 6.5 as a PowerPC program through Rosetta.
    Quark runs fairly quickly and saves OK, but it never quits properly when I shut my Mac down normally, it just hangs and says Application not responding in the Finder. In Quark I can't go to File>Quit either as it just repeats the above.
    It's annoying because by not quitting properly, Quark doesn't save a preferences file (XPress Preferences.prf) which obviously remembers where you've put your tool box, palette boxes and other working preferences.
    It may seem minor, but it does get irritating when you have to do it countless times a week! This problem effects all my co-workers on the same iMacs as me.
    I've tried looking on the Quark website but can't find anything about this problem on their forums. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Many thanks on behalf of six head scratching, Mac-loving Quark users.

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Premiere Pro CC Won't playback with an audio interface (Scarlett 2i2)

    Pretty much when i want to playback my videos they won't, when i change the audio hardware to my computer speakers it works but with my external audio interface it won't playback.

  • Premiere Pro Won't Playback Video

    I am using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on an iMac OS X 10.9.
    Any video won't playback in the preview tray or the other tray (top right). Nothing will playback. This was working a few weeks ago, but now nothing plays back. What can I do? I have already tried reinstalling Premiere and I even formatted my iMac, but to no avail.
    Also when I press play, the stop button appears, but when I press it, it doesn't go back to the play button. Please, I need Premiere for work, any ideas?

    Are you using external speakers for playback? I have some Genelec's that plug into the computer via firewire, and occasionally I have the same problem you do. To fix it I unplug the speakers from the computer, plug them back into a different firewire port, then restart the computer. You can test if this is the issue by going to Preferences, Audio Hardware, and then selecting either your headphones or internal speakers. If playback works, then try unplugging/replugging your speakers. 
    It's a hacky fix, but it's worked for me (in fact it worked for this afternoon).

  • Premiere pro won't playback

    Guys,
    I've got a problem with premiere, when i start it, the source monitor is white and it wont playback my project. And after a couple of seconds premiere is not responding anymore and quits. I've tried to close the source monitor but still won't playback...
    Starting a new project is not solving te problem.
    Reinstalling premiere doesn't either.
    Any ideas???

    Mehmet,
    The "white screen" is a classic result of an obsolete video driver.
    Let's get that one out of the way first. What is the make/model of your video card?
    What is the number/date of the installed video driver?
    Is that the latest driver FROM the mfgr's. Web site, say nVidia, or ATI/AMD? Do not rely on the OS, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver - check that out for yourself.
    Good luck,

  • I.O.S 8.1.3 iPhone won't playback video.

    Hi,
    I have an H.264 Quicktime that I was sent via wetransfer however the video won't playback on my iPad or on iPhone. My iPhone is on i.O.S 8.1.3. It also won't playback on i.O.S 8.1.2. The file will playback on and iPhone with i.O.S 7. I've converted the file to an mp4 specifically for iPads and it also won't playback. It does play on the i.O.S 7. I've tried accessing the file not through we transfer but through an ftp site and the same applies. No playback. Does anyone know about this being a bug in i.O.S 8 or if there is a work around to get the video to play on i.O.S 8?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Good Morning Denise -
    Sorry to hear you are having issues connecting to your Wi-Fi network.  I'll include a few more things that you can try to troubleshoot this below.  The first thing that I'm wondering is if you cannot connect to your Wi-Fi at home -- are you able to connect to a different Wi-Fi network (at work, a local coffee shop, etc.)?  That would be one of the first things to try.
    Turning the modem and router in your house of and then on is also a common step as it "reinitializes" everything.  Hopefully, one of the steps below will help you with this.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051
    Restart.
    For more help, try restarting your device, router, or cable/DSL modem. After each step, check to see if you fixed the issue.
      • Restart your iOS device.
      • Unplug your router and plug it back in.
      • Unplug your cable or DSL modem and plug it back in.
    Still can’t connect?
    Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
    Get more help
    Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.

  • P2 files won't playback...

    Has anyone had this issue. I am trying to playback some clips that originated from a HVX200. I used log and transfer to bring into fcp v6 and took a small clip and cut it down to say 20 secs moved it to the timeline and hit enter. The clip won't playback. When I hit enter again it stops on whatever frame it end on and updates to that frame but won't play throughout.
    Any ideas.

    Update:
    A/V Settings
    -Playback Output
    Mirror on Desktop or set to none...
    When I clicked on none it would play in monitor. When I clicked on output to Digital Cinema and didn't have set to mirror on desktop it did not show up. I'd hit Enter and it would not playback. When I hit enter again it would update to the frame it stopped on.
    So basically the settings in the A/V Settings Tab need to reflect the output you want...so it is now working.
    Thanks for your help...

  • Gametrailers won't work well in Safari any more.

    I used to have no problems with running "gametrailers.com" before, but now there are some flash elements in the page that won't work.
    The flash based "log in" function is placed at the bottom in HTML design, the flash based news banner doesn't show and some videos "can't be found" when you press a video you want to watch. This worked fine before and works perfect on FireFox. But I don't want to use FireFox.
    Help me.
    There was some kind of message about the page being a "not trusted page" or something. I don't remeber what I did, but its gone now.

    I am not able to watch the videos on the new format of GameTrailers, why did they mess with it, it worked beautiful for my purpose. Now, I cannot even play the intro, just the spinning wheel. Too bad, I sure loved the workings before they changed it.  I could play back the video, I could do screenshots/stills, etc., now the video is not working after several refreshes.  I don't believe it is fault of Apple at all. I have OX 10.6.8.

    I did the SMC reset for my iMac intel-based and now it won't turn on. What can I do to fix this?

    Well, first things first... is the power cord fully plugged into the back of the iMac (and the wall, for that matter)?
    Make sure the wall outlet has power, too... I've scratched my head over stupid issues where I forgot to flip a wall switch.
    If the outlet does have power, then try doing a pram zap. Command + option + P + R (hold those at startup).
    If the machine is receiving power, you should be able to see some LEDs if you look through the bottom grate of the machine to the left of the RAM door.

    Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom?  I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

  • Hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!

    hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!

    Have you created another admin user? Go to system preferences click users and click the + to add a user; if you haven't already. Once you have another admin user other then the "test" user make sure you're signed out of the test user account. Sign in with the alternate ADMIN USER that you just created or had created already and go back to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and click the same USERS icon near the bottom. Now select the TEST user and click the - sign. This should prompt you if your sure you want to delete the user account. And your done.
    New User created and Test User deleted... I hope this helps.

  • The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work.

    Every time I login to KDE through KDM, the notification gives me this message: "The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work. Falling back to default"
    Everytime I try to play an audio file, the notification gives me the same message.
    But everything else such as system sound, online video work.
    What can I do to make it work?
    thank you for your help

    I have the same problem under the same conditions the original poster described. However, under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference I don't have default as device listed. The devices I can pick are:
    -Esound (ESD)
    -HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)
    -HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)
    -Jack Audio COnnection Kit.
    I can also pick HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI) when I check  'Show advanced devices'
    When I use Esound I have sound for a while, until after a random time it falls back to the underlying device, which makes sound disappear. When I use HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog), it falls back immediately on logging in and the other choices do never fall back, but when I use them, I have no sound at all. After I loose sound when Esound falls back to another device, sometimes writing sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart gives sound back, but mostly I need to relog/restart the X-Server to get sound back.
    Is my issue related to the original poster his problem? And how can I fix it?

  • I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

    My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer.  I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk".  Ok--now what?  I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

    I have a brand new iMac
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

    800-692-7753
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx"
    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.
