ITunes detects and plays video at wrong resolution?

I just reinstalled Leopard on my mac mini, and when I finished I copied my old iTunes music and videos back into the iTunes folder, then got iTunes to import it. All my music and most of my video imported fine, except for all the stuff I'd recorded with eyeTV. In quicktime these files play full screen with no bar, and are listed as 1024x576. iTunes on the other hand has decided that they are 1456x576 and when it plays them squishes them down vertical so there is a black bar top and bottom. They are visible squished...so iTunes is definitely wrong here, anyone know how to fix it though?

I've seen your screengrabs at macnews.de (would be helpful to publish here either...)

the 'native' res of your files is 704x576.. and your .m4v - files are anamorph-flagged, so QTplayer does correctly show a playback size of 1024x576 res.
but..
if your files get on the process of copying 'lost' their internal m4v tagging.. (= 'transmorphed' to mov), e.g., you used a fat32-formatted drive for your transfer, these 'metadata' got lost.. then, indeed, iTunes will read 1024 as width for an 'anamorph' video, which results in that infamous 1489 pix width..
guess, that is a) a user generated error (=wrong copy process, or wrong formatted drive), or we have the finger (again) on a QT 'bug' ... these 'flags' are an excellent option to get lost..
hopefully, QTKirk will join this thread..

ITunes 7 and playing videos

So, I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and never really used the video features because I had an older 3rd Gen iPod. I got an iPod video for Christmas and have been trying to get the video feature working on iTunes. I had some videos in my library, and they worked fine in my older version of iTunes.
However, I have discovered that the new version does not play ANY videos at all.
It won't let me import videos on my computer (and I have made sure they are the correct size and format) and it simply will not play any videos I have in my library (some that I purchased from the iTunes store) and it will not load any videos onto my iPod video. Interesting, eh?
Is anyone else having this problem?
I tried to download an older version of iTunes, but it would not install. I re-installed the new version and the same problem happened. I've been pouring over the support sites trying to find out what is going on but haven't found anything helpful. I even tried to uninstall itunes so I could re-install an older version, but it still wouldn't install.
I'm at my wit's end! Any help?

Someone I tried to help earlier encountered this problem. Let me know if the following link helps. They managed to figure out themselves what they needed to do. (Just mentioned that cos I don't like takin' credit for sumthin I didn't do)

I have backed up my iPad using iTunes to windows 8 Lenora laptop but I could not find my files and play video files in my laptop.

You cannot access files in the backup on your computer.
Do you mean that you synced with iTunes and transferred your purchased videos and app documents? If that is what you mean, what videos are you talking about? If they are videos that you took with the iPad, they do not sync to iTunes. What files?
What exactly are you trying to do? Details please.

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

ITunes freezes when playing video.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Let me start by saying I've seen many others complain about this with mostly no resolution.
To elaborate, when initiating any video in iTunes (be it a movie, TV show, music video, or iTunes Store preview), the application immediately hangs. No errors -- iTunes just stops responding and can only be closed by killing its process. I've tried all the solutions people hash out time and again to no avail. This has been happening since iTunes 10, and ever since I've been playing all its videos through QuickTime (which works perfectly).
In Safe Mode, however, a black box appears briefly (as if the video's about to play), before a Windows "iTunes has stopped responding" prompt comes up. Not only that, but I also get two error logs in Event Viewer:
Application Error:

I don't know how helpful these logs are, but I've never seen anyone post anything similar when reporting this issue. Microsoft's link in the second one's header tells you to install a "newer" version of iTunes 64-bit even if you have the newest one (and I've done it with no improvement). In one post, iTunes wouldn't play video for somebody until they were told to uninstall Klite Codec Pack. This was the only time I came across this suggestion, and, having Klite, did it too, but with no improvement. iTunes still hangs when trying to play video, it crashes "properly" with a Windows prompt when trying to play video in Safe Mode, and QuickTime works fine (which I guess is my only solution).
Some insight from Apple would be appreciated. This has been happening since iTunes 10, so I consider the problem to be on iTunes' end rather than my system's, which has by and large been a constant the whole time.

Codec packs are notorious for causing iTunes problems.
Try searching c:\windows\SysWOW64 for files with Quicktime in the name.
There should be just two:
Quicktime.qts
QuicktimeVR.qtx
If there are any other files or folders, try dragging them to the desktop ot any temporary folder.
Does that make any difference.
After doing that, do you have the latest Quicktime installed, if not update it.

Earlier versions of Quicktime can upset iTunes.

Layoff whatever drugs you are taking... they have seriously messed with your brain.
No content shows in iTunes after updating
iTunes 11.04 is most certainly compatible with iOS5 and previous versions of iTunes.

ITunes starts and plays songs automatically

I installed Itunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite last night and now iTunes starts and plays songs automatically. What is the problem with iTunes? Could someone else have my iTunes account? Should I delete ITunes and re-installed?

I agree with/have same problem as vinfromacton.
I know it's Flash causing the problem:iTunes had been functioning normally until this morning when I downloaded Flashto allow me to listen to archived radio programs on the internet.
Once I downloaded Flash, iTunes startedopening and playing automatically ~ every 2-3 minutes. Annoying as it playsover audio I am listening to &/or recording.
Only fix I've found is to turn iTunesvolume down to zero: does not stop iTunes from opening - it continues to do so- but I don't hear the iTunes audio.
I'm also going to try dr alexander'ssuggestion: Open a blank Playlist > leave iTunes focus there>quit iTunes.
It reopens but at least it'ssilenced....
Haven't tried it but I would imagine uninstallingFlash (need to download the uninstaller from the Adobe website) would solve theproblem. This however would lead me back to my original problem: no Flash >cannot listen to audio archived on the internet and other internet audio...
I'm also going to call Apple: I haveAppleCare. Will re-post after talking to them.

HT5848 How do I listen to iTunes Radio and play other game/apps at the same time? On an iPad.

Just got an iPad air and last night was able to listen to iTunes Radio and play some apps at the same time. Now today a software update, and no go on doing radio and apps at the same time....help!!!

Anytime you open an app that has a persistant sound stream - a movie, a podcast, some games - it will overide the music app's stream. nothiong you can do to change it.

I made a slide show using imovie. When I play it back on my imac, the slideshow looks perfect. However when I burned in via iDVD and play the disc, the resolution drops off. The video appears fuzzy and not sharp. Any ideas why?

I made a slide show using imovie. When I play it back on my imac, the slide show is crystal clear and sharp. I burned a disc of the slide show using iDVD. When I played the dvd the resolution is very poor. Fuzzy and shakey images. I tried various solutions, Apple tec told me to go to preferences on iDVD and select "professional" to get higher resolution. Tried that but results still the same. Any ideas?

When you play on your Mac, you can have resolution up to 1920x1080.
When you burn to iDVD you convert to 640x480.

Itunes does not play video properly - sound or video out of sync

About 6 months ago, all of a sudden my itunes for windows starts to play my movies or tv shows improperly. Video is frozen while the sound plays. Or the exact reverse happens. Apple showed me to uninstall fully and reinstall Itunes, which worked once. Couple of months later the same happens again. I tried again a proper uninstall and reinstall but to no avail.
I have been using Itunes for windows for the last 4 years and nothing ever went wrong like this. Now the only way to see my video is to sync to my iphone.
Anyone have this problem? I've read about the codex issues that can cause problems. I tried some of the fixes and nothing works.
Even says that the firewall or virus programs can interfere - I'm surprised if that would be a cause.
I have a recent laptop with windows 7 premium, 64bit. When I bought it about 1.5 years ago I had no problem with Itunes.
Thanks,
JR

You synced the sd version to the ipods?
You can report the issue to itunes. They should resolve within a day.

Beyond that, I am not sure what the issue would be.

Trouble importing and playing video in Lightroom 5

I mainly use Lightroom for photos, but I do use it to organize my videos. Lightroom 5.3 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.9.2.
Videos from all of our iPhones import and play perfeclty.
Video from the Nikon D90 will import sometimes, but will rarely play. You can scroll across the preview icon and see the video, but when you click on to play it, it will only play a few seconds of the video but will continue to play the audio.
I have converted the .avi files to .m4v in order to play in iTunes and Apple TV. I've tried importing the .m4v files to Lightroom as well but always get an error: "Connecting to dynamic link server failed."
Not sure what is going on or what I may be doing wrong. I've successfully imported the videos from the camera to Aperture. Not sure why I can't get Lightroom to work.
Thanks for any help.

Exact same problem as well. When I try to import CDs either in iTunes or Windows Media Player I have problems. iTunes will play a track or two, but usually the imports ring in around 755 minutes and change and are corrupt. Windows Media Player has similar issues.
What's strange is that my drive works just fine for burning DVDs, installing software from disc, or watching DVD movies, so I'm a little in the dark. Any ideas?

Itunes doesn't play videos properly. Help!

When I attempt to play movies/tv-shows (ones purchased/rented via the store) in Itunes, the audio/video sync is off and the video plays very slowly, sometimes way behind or sometimes speeding up. Same thing for Quicktime. Now obviously, I can't try out the file in something like VLC because other media will not play .M4V files. So, anyone have an idea what could be wrong making the videos so un-playable? It would be nice to be able to play what I have purchased.
*I don't know if this helps but I am a windows 7 user.

Computer shuts down when importing CDs and playing video

When in iTunes, my computer completely shuts off a couple mintues in when trying to import a CD or play video. I have asked around and reinstalled and nothing seems to help. Any ideas! Very frustrating.

I just started having the same problem. I was able to import songs from 5 cds with no problem, but when I tried a few more my mac started shutting down about halfway through the import of the song. It doesn't matter how many songs I choose to import, it happens on the first one everytime. Did you find a fix for this?
