Issue playing videos in iTunes with Windows 7 x64

Hi, hoping someone can help.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and have installed the latest version of iTunes. I have around 150 HD movies stored on my PC, which were previously from an iMac I owned. Whenever I play one of these, the video keeps stuttering and dropping frames then freezing etc. Now, the issue is not with the files, as they play in WMP and VLC perfectly fine. It happens in exactly the same spot in the videos everytime they are played. My CPU reaches 100% then drops to 0% as the freezing is happening. It appears as though my CPU cannot handle the files, yet they play fine in another player.
I was wandering if anyone else is having this problem, it's incredibly frustrating because I love iTunes as a media manager.
Thanks.

Try reset winsock and see it will fix the issue.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Issue with playing ringtones in iTunes with Windows 7

For some reason I am having an issue playing ringtones I've created via my iTunes library. It keeps prompting me to authorize my computer so I can play the ringtone in iTunes but my computer is already authorized (I run Windows 7, iTunes 9.0.3 and only have the one computer authorized). I deauthorized the previous computer the library was on when I purchased the one I currently use and haven't had any other issues. Despite not being able to play the ringtones in iTunes, they transfer and play on my iPhone and all other purchases in iTunes are playing as well. I've tried the various troubleshooting tips listed on this site (i.e. changing user account settings, de-authorizing then re-authorizing etc) to no avail.

I have the exact same problem, on a MacBook 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I went to the genius bar, and reported the problem through the iTunes Store. After some boilerplate troubleshooting recommendations, I finally got a response that "ringtones will not play in iTunes, they will skip over them".
This is definitely not how it used to handle ringtones, it is unclear to me if they are saying this is a bug, or an intentional deprecation of iTunes' function. I would recommend staying away from iTunes created ringtones, self made ones still preview fine in iTunes.

No sound while playing video in iTunes in Windows 8. Help?

I'm running Windows 8.1 and every time I go to watch video in iTunes, it'll have sound for a little bit (30 seconds, tops) and then it'll skip a little and the audio's gone. I'd like to get this fixed before my fiance gets back from his trip so we can watch the new Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special when he gets back. I'm currently running iTunes 11.1.3.8. Any work arounds or setting changes would be awesome.

It may be that your machine can't handle the bit rate and such that iTunes is set at. You may also need to check your sound cards settings. See if this page helps. iTunes and QuickTime audio problems
Although the graphics on the site are for Windows XP it still may be helpful.
If that does not help, I will be back later today (~4:30).
Hope this helps!

Windows crashes on playing video in itunes

on playing videos on itunes, my laptop is getting crashed. the OS which is been used is Windows 7

HI there,
I would recommend reviewing the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Burning Videos from iPhone/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker?????

How can I burn videos that I take on my 3GS iPhone and than sync to my PC/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker? When I attempt to load or drag the video file into movie maker it give me an error message due to the file type is not supported. Any suggestions or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

This is because iTunes Store purchases and in a protected file format, so you won't be able to directly convert them from the protected file into something that Windows movie maker could read.
As the previous poster said, you can try burning the files to a CD, then importing the CD again. I think that ought to work.

Sound delay while playing video in iTunes.

Dear community,
When playing video in iTunes the sound is increasingly delaying and after approximately 10 seconds it becomes almost impossible to watch the video. When you move to the other part of the video, the sound is back to normal for a short time and then becomes delayed again.
When video is playing, it is possible to hear that sound is not smooth, but has very minor breaks. The video is downloaded to the computer. I opened this video with Windows Media Player and QuickTime and it works good, but, unfortunately, it does not work correctly while playing in iTunes player.
I experience this problem on Windows 7 32-bit.
Please, help with this problem.
Sincerely,
Roma

Solved.
Found this great solution:

This is what worked for me for Windows 7 — Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices > >>> Right click on your Speakers and Headphones and go to Properties > Advanced
Now… bring the quality of your sound down – I changed mine from 24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) TO 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) — it works like a charm for me now! Hope this helps.

And another one, but not tested:
Quote:
I am one of many that had the synch problem. I say HAD because I finally found a fix or possibly an incorrect setting in BIOS. I noticed one of the sound settings in Bios was set to HD.
I had the option to change to AC97. saved the Bios and rebooted……hooray problem solved. I also noticed that unlocking cores made the symptom even worse. All is running very well with all cores unlocked and 24bit 192000Hz set on the sound card.
for information I have a ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard and
Xonar DS sound card
Hope this helps.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

Black screen while playing video in itunes

I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.

Cannot play video on itunes or quiktime

I am new at all of this but i need help because i try to play video on itunes it doesnt work i try on quiktime but says error -37 i dont know what to do

Yes! Immediately after upgrading our iPhones and iPads to iOS6, they lost the capability to play back CCTV camera streams both on network and 3/4G. Our customers are experiening this issue as well.
I held back from upgrading one of my iPads and all is normal with it.
I am a Savant AV dealer and this is quite troubling especially since the issue has very little buzz.
Has anyone heard from Apple regarding a fix?
Thanks,
Phil

HT2105 Continually get a message saying "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please try later" when trying to set up allowances. Not very helpful. Any ideas. I am running the latest itunes with Windows 7 Professional.

Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
"I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all.

Can't burn a cd in itunes with windows 8

When I try to burn a cd in itunes with Windows 8, I get unknown error 4310. I am able to burn music and text files with
windows but not itunes. I believe there may be registry errors and compatiblity issues with Windows 8 and Itunes.
Other errors I received when I tried to fix the problem are disk burner and software missing and disk recording missing.
I have consulted with Dell and ATT ConnectTech and no one seems to be able to solve the problem. I have uninstalled
itunes and reinstalled itunes several times but still cannot burn cd with Itunes with windows 8...Anyone who has
faced this problem and solved it I would love to hear from you

I don't have much help, but yes, I did burn a CD in iTunes 8. Had some problems--different from yours--and got help from my Apple Care...although they wanted me to write an e-mail to the Apple Store for help (I insisted that Apple Care should cover it and I wanted to talk with someone. Eventually, I got someone in the US). I also turned off the Genius. Don't know if that helped or not.

Audio Still Scratchy When Playing video in iTunes

Hello Again!
I still have problems playing videos in iTunes.
I have: Updated all video and sound drivers, tweaked the QT Settings(64khz,16bit).
B Noir has been very helpful......but my problem remains unsolved.
Any new ideas?
Thank You!

hi DJ!
hmmm. we worked through the audio troubleshooting guide off in another thread, didn't we? but i can't remember whether or not you also checked your video drivers. just in case, here's a resource that might be helpful with that:

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
