How do I stop video freezing during export?

Video freezes during export to DV camera from imovie HD. Tried updating OS to combined version for 10.3.9. Installed latest updater for imovie 5 with no difference. Can anyone suggest any other solutions?
Chris

Chris,
I found a solution to the freezing problem in one of the answers to another problem here on the discussion forum.
It solved my problem and it might be helpful to you.
Convert your iMovie video into a QT film with the same quality (I have a dutch version of iMovie HD, so I don't know the exact menu-wording. Something like >Slect>share).
Import this QT film into a NEW iMovie project.
Then export to your camcorder.
It took my Mac almost 11/2 hour to convert the video to QT (55minutes movie).
But in the end, it worked.
I'm no expert, but I think it has to do with the mutilations caused by adding titles, cutting, audio additions etc. which are imparted on the document.
The original video that frooze was 17.1 GB. The successful copy only 13.6GB.
Good luck

The iPhone includes a proximity sensor which puts the screen to sleep or turns it off when the iPhone is held to your ear and face during a call.
Do you have a screen protector installed and/or are you using a case that might be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor?
If you are using a case, remove the case before the next call. If the same does not occur without the case, you need to get another case that doesn't block the proximity sensor.

Video freezes when exporting to Full Quality

[Background: I've been working on a video project in iMovie HD that I'm doing in pieces - exporting each section of the video at full quality when it's done, so that later I can put them all together in a new project.]
Lately I've been having major problems exporting to full quality Quicktime files. The exported video freezes a few frames in, though the audio continues to play normally. This does not happen if I save it to a smaller quality, say, Web Streaming.
I'm having trouble seeing a pattern in how/why/when this happens, too. I have successfully exported movies to full quality both before and after movies that export incorrectly. The first project that had this happen, I decided to reassemble bit by bit to find out if something specific was causing the problem. Turns out that Full Quality exporting started having this problem if I had added titles. After jumping through something like 50 hoops - exporting little pieces, reimporting, exporting just the titles, etc., etc - I managed to work around the issue. Bit of a headache but all seemed to be well.
BUT, the frozen video problem soon happened again. The next time I had this trouble exporting, there were no titles in the project at all, and the problem instead occurred once I added music. So there does not seem to be a pattern within iMovie itself. This makes me think it's either a Quicktime problem or something to do with my computer itself. I have 2GB of memory, 37GB of space left on my hard drive, and I'm running Quicktime 7.4.1 and iMovie HD 6.0.4.
Please help! I'm on a bit of a deadline, too. This is driving me crazy!

Thanks Matt. I am in the same boat as many people have obviously been in - trying to burn a DVD to a film fest deadline of tomorrow, and after 4 hours of trying to make a disk image, getting 'error during burn'.
I have one question.
a) In imovie, I clicked the 'create iDVD' button to create this project - which has problems burning.
b) Now if I simply try to drag that .mov file into the iDVD pane as you suggest, is that identical to what I have done in a) - in that we're operating with the same basic animal. Of so
c) I should try the process of exporting to .dv, reimporting to new imovie, redoing chapter markers and THEN dragging the package .mov to the iDVD pane - hoping that chapter markers are preserved.
Oh ... someone said one should try to save the .mov as a sel contained file. is that necessary?
Thank you for sitting in front of you Mac!

IMovie video freezes during playback; transitions not working

I'm nearing the end of making a video in iMovie. I have several clips, transitions, and music added. On some spots, the video playback stops, while the music continues; one or two clips later the video picks up again. I've deleted that section of video and re-inserted a similar clip only to have the same problem. Additionally, the transition into that particular clip doesn't work. When i play the raw video clip, it works just fine. I don't understand. Someone have a clue what's going on?

You might be able to narrow down which item is causing the problem and deleting it. First create a duplicate project:
Click the Project Library button and highlight the name of your project by click on it just once so that it will be colored in blue.
Go to File Menu > Duplicate Project, iMovie will create a duplicate with a number added to the end of the name
Open the Duplicate project and try deleting a picture, or transition or video clip where the video freezes or even just before the point where it freezes.
Playback the movie and see if it reacts differently.
Just try one thing at time and you might discover it's one item in the Project timeline that's causing the problem. Once you find the source of the problem, you can try replacing it or just leave it out until you finish the project and export it. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out how something got corrupted and subsequently how to ressurect it.

IMovie freezes during export

I am trying to export a movie that I made and IMovie just freezes during the export. I have tried to export it in different ways. I am new to Macs and Imovie in general so any help would be appreciated.

I have 486 Gigs of free space. THe movie clips are only about 4-5 minutes a piece. They have audio, video, and pictures in the movie. They play fine on my computer, but I would like to export them to email to people.

How do I stop videos playing full screen on iPhone 5c?

Hi
I've recently purchased the iPhone 5C and I'm having trouble working out Safari and playing audios. When I click an audio (ie.. a radio programme on download) it immediately expands to full screen and I cannot find a way of going back to the safari screen. I have to keep the audio playing until the end and then it seems to switch back. I know there's probably something really simple I can do to stop videos and use Safari to browse something else, but for the life of me I can't work out what! help please!
Thanks
Alun

OK - so someone sent me a downloadable audio file on dropbox. I clicked "download" and it immediately opened safari and started playing full screen. I couldn't do anything to stop it playing or open a browser window to search. how do I stop this from happening? I can't use safari until the audio has completed and returned to a safari browser screen.

Video Freeze during PBack

I am getting video and/or audio freezes during PTT; running FCP 7, Dolce 8 TB raid array, 32 GB RAM, dual 2.66 6-core proc. Somethime these freezes are repeatable, occuring at the same place on multiple attempts to play. Others seem random and occur at various places on the timeline, sometimes when video is only one layer deep. I have 8 channels of audio, but did mixdown prior to PTT.

If so, time to start isolating elements.
Move the file off of the RAID, disconnect the RAID and try to PTT using another internal drive. (I'm assuming you have a MacPro if you are running a Kona.)
Does it work?
If so, the RAID may be the issue.

Zen Vision:M How do I stop video playba

OK I can seek through and pause videos, but how to I stop playback and have the playtime start back to 0:00.
Even if I leave the video menu and go back, the video is still at whatever point I left it, and just resumes when I click play.

With other players and audio you just pause and hit rewind, which has pretty much the same effect as stop. Does that work?

How can I Stop Video from Playing? (not just mute or pause)

I have a page for playing a video. Below it I have a 'return to previous page' button. If the video is playing and I click this button to return I can still hear the video playing in the background. I know how to mute or pause the video when clicking this button but I would like to know how to completely stop the video so that if I go back to the video page - the playhead is at the start and I can see its thumbnail image again.
Anyone help?

do you mean:
sym.$("Video01")[0].currentTime = 0;
I tried this but it didn't work (just resets and plays in background). Also, I have several videos on one page and a navigation bar at the top. I would like (when I click the Nav Bar to go to another page) any video to stop and reset to its Poster.
If you like, I could send over a very simplified project.

IDVD unexpectedly quits and/or video freezes during burn

Please help! I'm going crazy trying to get a completed video project burned onto DVD. I have three video programs (one is a slide show), all created in Final Cut Pro and saved as either Final Cut Quicktimes or Quicktime movies using H264 compressor. The programs are imported into iDVD 4.0.1 (they cumulatively amount to less than one hour). Two different things are happening. Sometimes, iDVD churns for 16 hours, spits out the DVD, and says it unexpectedly quit. The DVD plays, but the slide show program freezes about 3/4 into (audio continues but video freezes). Other times, iDVD churns for hours and hours, only to quit and spit out a blank DVD.
This has never happened in the past. I've never before had trouble burning DVDs. The only change I recently made was this: I changed the name and password of the administrative account user. Also, this computer was iSync'd with another mac and about a week ago, all my preferences disappeared and programs opened as if for the first time (although nothing on the hard drive was lost).
Here's what I've tried: MacSweeper (although it has authenticaltion problems - I authenticate and then everytime I try to run it, it says it's not authenticated, so I can't tell if it's working), MacJanitor, I've checked all the preference settings and nothing comes up in error. I've also tried the Easter Egg approach and I got the same result (freeze 3/4 through).
Here's what I have: iMac G4, 800 MHz CPU, 1 GB memory, OS X (10.4.2), iDVD 4.0.1.
The slide show program is the only one messing up on the burned discs. Do you think it has anything to do with the new H264 compressor (in the past I've never used that, and the other two programs - which are fine on the DVD - are Final Cut Quicktimes).
Help me please - before I do something violent to this computer!!! Thanks for any advice.
Shannon

Thanks for your suggestions, David. My remaining issues are these, and anyone with ideas is welcome to chime in here:
First, I've never encountered this problem in the past, even with the same amount of available disc space. It seems like the Tiger upgrade is what's causing the problem, but so far it's been impossible to isolate. Has anyone heard anything about this or found a permanent solution?
On that same note, I understand what you're saying about an external drive. I don't have one, and it seems superfluous that I should need to spend money on one when this process worked fine a year ago. But I guess I'll try it if nothing else works better.
Second, fortunately, I wised up to the Disk Copy solution to make back-up copies of my ONE usable DVD. But I'm extremely concerned that I will encounter this same problem the next time I need to burn from iDVD. I have no idea why this one disc worked and all my other attempts failed. There must be something identifiable going on in all these similar cases, and it doesn't make sense to me that the permanent solution lies in somehow working AROUND iDVD instead of through it. And I guess I won't spend the money to upgrade to iLife '05 if the possibility exists that this problem will persist.
So there are my lingering concerns and frustrations. For now, I'm walking away from this project with exactly ONE useful DVD produced from iDVD out of approximately 20 attempts. Something's wrong with this picture. Ugh!

My video freezes during chat

i have a .mac login and the person i'm chatting with is on an ibook g3 733 with an aim account. we successfully chatted last night. everytime i try to chat today, when i accept the chat or when the chat is accepted my video freezes but the incoming video is fine and both mics still work.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

How do I stop videos from autoplaying

I am trying to stop videos embedded in web pages from automatically playing.
I am using NFL.COM as a test site, since nearly every article has an embedded autoplay video at the top.
I have Ghostery and Adblock plus installed.
After searching here and on the web generally, I have tried the following steps and have restarted Firefox and tested after each step (whether required or not):
1. Checked that plugins.click_to_play is set to true as per one archived thread on here;
2. Installed mediaconnectivity 0.9.4;
3. Installed Stoptube 0.2.1;
4. Switched media.autoplay.enabled to false.
Nothing has worked.
Any suggesttions would be greatly appreciated.

How do I stop notifications/reminders during video playback?

I need to use my iPad to show some videos at work. I am showing videos to large crowds in an auditorium. How do I prevent notifications/reminders from stopping the playback of my video?

Seems like there should be a global Notifications switch to turn all off temporarily when watching video or for other situations where you don't want to be interrupted. It is crazy/very unfriendly to have to individually adjust each notification item every time a non-interrupt situation arises.
