IPhoto '11 not able to playback videos

I have been trying to view videos in iphoto that I have recorded on my canon s95. The camera shoots h.264 720p @ 24fps. Any video I try to watch in iPhoto '11 starts ok for a few seconds, then starts to get jittery, choppy (whatever you want to call it), skips ahead and looses the sound. I've read in the forums that with older versions of iPhoto, there was a need to install quicktime 7 (especially it seems with snow leapord 10.6.1). Does anyone know if this applies to iPhoto '11? This seems bizare to me. Why would you need to downgrade to watch a video that has been recorded in modern format? For reference, the same problem applies in iMovie if just playing the video (not doing any editing).
Could this be associated with the stock POS hd (320 gb, 5400 rpm hitachi) apple ships with these machines and if so would an upgrade to something like a seagate momentus xt improve the playback? The laptop tends to be quite slow all the time, so I suspect that this is the major bottle neck.
Could it be the autoswitching between the intel hd graphic and the nvidia geforce gt 330m?
Also, how does iPhoto handle video playback? Is it launching quicktime within the program?
Is it possible that I need to download a new codec for quicktime 10 to get these videos to work in iPhoto? If so, where do I find and install them?
Finally, how do I open one of these videos that sit in iPhoto in another video player (be it quicktime or vlc or mplayerx, etc) to see if there is a h/w problem or an iPhoto problem.
I know some of this is not strickly related to iPhoto '11, but its where I noted the problem so this is where I'm starting
Thanks for the help!

Yes iPhoto simply calls on Quicktime to play the videos.
Simple test: export one - just drag it to the Desktop - and see if it will play in VLC. (Oh and QT 7 is not a downgrade, it's a very different app.) The problem is unlikely to be an issue with the Hard DIsk.
You can install Perian which will add codecs to Quicktime. Otherwise check on the site of your camera maker.

Hi
I recently purchased an iPhone 4S however I am not able to play videos directly from websites like metacafe.com and all others. Whereas few of my friends who bought iPhone 4S / 5 (factory unlocked) versions can very well play videos from all websites. Whenever they browse videos, it start streaming on their phones and stArt playing in QuickTime player. What is the reason of this behavior, is there something missing in my iPhone?
Thanks for your help in this

Someone please help on this...

Not able to start video capture

Hello, I have a Motorola Droid Ultra and ever since the android kit-kat update my phone is unable to record videos. Which effects my apps (ex. SnapChat , Instagram , Facebook) from recording.Whenever I try to record it say's "Not able to start video capture". I am able to take pictures by the way.
P.S. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That sounds like the camera bug, I think these phones were hit with in one of the updates, my Droid Maxx has been immune of it, because I've kept it on Jelly Bean I don't have the camera features that many have with K.Kat but until I see allot of improvement and no issues.. I'll keep her on Jelly Bean.. Sorry your having this issues.. it's the berries when you have to deal with issues as we've seen..

Not able to add Video

Last week i bought 30GB iPOD.
I am not able to add videos in it.
In iPOD setting, in Video tab all the options are in disabled mode with the default selection as no need to add videos. i think if i am able to enable "Manually maintain my own video" option, then i can upload video in my iPOD. Please let me know how to enable it.
Thanks & Regards

You probably have your iPod set to manually update your music.
For some reason, iTunes will grey out the video options if you have it set to Manual.

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7.0.21

I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
Frankly, I am utterly confused.

I have a Nikon Coolpix P510 and with Picasa I am not able to view videos or continous photos. Before I purchase Adobe Lightroom I want to know if I am able to view those features?

The best thing to do is download the trial of Lightroom and see if it works for you. The trial is the complete program. The only thing different about the trial is that it expires after thirty days. Your images stay in the folders you already have so there's little risk. Good luck!

Please help! Not able to set Video input Port(S-Video or Composite)on Linux

Hi
I am using JMF2.1.1e(Linux performance pack) for video capturing on Linux OS. I want to set video input port(S-Video or composite) through my application. I am using the following code:
     if ( dataSource != null )
          arrControls = dataSource.getControls ();
     if ( arrControls != null )
          nCount = arrControls.length;
     System.out.println("No. of Controls: " + nCount);
     for ( i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
          if ( arrControls[i] == null )
               continue;
          if ( !(arrControls[i] instanceof Control) )
               continue;
          componentControl = ((Control)arrControls).getControlComponent ();
          System.out.println("ComponentControl : " + componentControl);
          if ( componentControl == null )
               continue;
But, i am getting No. of Controls: 0 (Zero). So i am not able to get any control component also. Rest of the application is working fine. Please help me solving this problem.
Thanks in advance.

To go a stage further.
Google run a Jabber server for their service.
Jabber apps (those that can) use a Protocol called Jingle to make the A/V connections.
Google's version is not even that compatible with other Jabber apps. (See Here)
The Plug-in in the Google Install (Or the Standalone Web Browser Plug-in allow Browsers to access the GoogleTalk A/V side as does the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
iChat uses a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect to other iChat Users or to the AIM for PC app.
However this also works in any iChat to iChat Connection no matter if the Buddy List is an AIM Login based one, Jabber (including GoogleTalk) or A LAN based Bonjour Chat.
In you care this is not going to work.
Getting the Standalone (Intel only) Browser Plug-in and using the Chat option in the Google Mail Web page is probably the easiest option.

Iphoto is not able to load my pictures

Hello I have a problem while running iphoto. The program is not able to load my pictures it gets stock searching for pictures and does not displays a single image, none of the commands respond
Can you give an advice.
How can I reinstall this program.
as you can see I'm not an apple expert yet.
ilamp Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Oh dear!
Well I would start by deleting iPhoto and it's files. Do not touch the iPhoto Library folder found in the Pictures folder.
To reinstall iPhoto...
Navigate to /Applications and drag iPhoto to the trash
Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all iPhoto receipts to the trash
Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the trash.
Look at this link and see what info pertains to you to reinstall iPhoto from your computer discs.

Look all the way down the page for a downloadable version of Software restore to use in Tiger that works with your OS 10.2 computer specific software.
Install iPhoto.
Run Software Update and update iPhoto.
Hopefull you will be able to open your iPhoto Library.
