LR 5.4 Can't Play or Import Video in OSX Mavericks

I copied several MP4 video files from the Lumix LX7 card to a folder on an external hard drive. However I can't import them into LR 5.4. Furthermore, I now see that LR can't play any video files (all MP4) that are in the catalog. The playbar doesn't even show up.
This problem came up when I upgraded to OS X Mavericks and upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5. So I'm not sure what's causing the issue. Was able to import and play videos before, but they played kind of choppy earlier.
I've since removed all Quicktime plugins (Perian). Made sure I'm using the most recent version of Quicktime (10.3). Repaired permissions and restarted. Still can't play or import video.
I've also reinstalled LR 5.4 and wiped preferences files. Earlier I couldn't import photos & videos, but I paritially fixed that when I removed the video files from the import folder. I was able to get all the images in fine then. The video seems to be the hangup.
In catalog: no video preview image, just grey, no playbar.
In import: generic "camera" preview image, says "Could Not Read Preview"
Any idea what I can do to get LR to play and import videos, or fix the issue?

Incidentally, the videos playback without a hitch in Quicktime. When I right-click on any of the catalog videos and select "Show In Finder," the MP4 plays perfectly in Quicktime.
It just won't play within LR 5.4.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Can't play youtube music videos on facebook

hi everyone, i was wondering, am i the only person who can't play music-videos from youtube - on facebook? i don't have this problem on chrome [which belongs to google, and so is youtube..]
it started in the last few days, or weeks, before i updated my firefox. i can't play youtube music-videos posted on facebook from facebook, but i can play them only from youtube.com.
when i try to play a video that has music in it, i get this message:
"this video contains content from RECORDLABEL. it is restricted from playback on certain sites. watch on youtube"
i also sometimes get a message that a certain video can't be played from playlists, but i can watch the video from its page [i don't know if it's related..].
my friends who use chrome can play music-videos on facebook, and i tried for myself and it plays the videos and doesn't show any restrictions messages.
i didn't try on explorer [bleh] or opera.
so my question again is, do you have the same problem too?
i can play this video on facebook: [it's funny as hell, watch it!]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=717vb7kLKKk
but i can't play this one on facebook, only on youtube: [and other music-videos, i can give you a million examples]

I can't play music or videos!!

I can't play music or videos on iPod touch 5! When I play music it pauses and plays by itself and then Siri randomly pops up and then goes away again. The same happens with videos on YouTube; when I watch them they randomly pause and my music starts playing and then Siri starts! I have tried resetting it and it is not insured. Please help?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- dusconnedc/unpluf any headpohnes. Maybe headphone problem is causing problem
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can't play or import a CD into iTunes

Having recently bought an iPhone I have started the process of importing all my CDs into iTunes. I have succesfully imported maybe 50 CDs but when I came to importing These Streets by Paolo Nutini iTunes got stuck on the first track and showed no progress and a copy speed of 0.7. I left it for a good while but it just seemed to crash the program. The CD is quite old so I suspected it was maybe the surface scratches that were causing the problem. As it is one of my favourite albums I decided to buy a new copy on CD (not download as it was cheaper and I can still play the CD in the car). Having come to import the CD again today the same problem has occurred which leads me to think either there is something contained on this one CD that prevents copying or something? I have tried unticking the 'Use error correction...' option but this just copied one track slowly and then got stuck again before starting track 2. The CD won't play either (I never tried it with the first CD but this one crashed iTunes if I try to play a track). Can anyone help me identify the problem please and suggest a fix (other than spend another fiver downloading it!).
I'm using Windows XP and iTunes 11.0.4.4

SOLVED!
As suspected, my problem of not being able to play or import CD from iTunes 8.1 was internal to iTunes (with a little help from me). iTunes does not recognize the drive letters of A: or B: I wanted the drive letter configuration of my computer to be C:SYSTEM and D:DATA, so I changed the optical drive to A: just like the old floppy drives used to be. (Going old school.) Since iTunes will not accept that, I changed the drive letter of the optical drive to O: (for optical) and everything works.
To do this, go CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>STORAGE>DISK MANAGEMENT. All your drives should be laid out in front of you. (If your optical drive isn't listed, you might have to insert a disk and from the menu bar select ACTION>REFRESH.) Left click on your optical drive to select it and then right click on Change Drive Letter and Paths... Select Change, enter any unused drive letter greater than B: (D: is common by default, O: seemed to work) and OK your way out of it.
Changing my drive letters has probably left me open to problems from other programs that don't taken drive letter flexibility into account, but iTunes works for me.
I am e-mailing this to the Apple tech who tried unsuccessfully to help me, placing suspicion on everything except the coding of iTunes. Hopefully, Apple will put this in their knowledge base, because it seems to be a common problem and few know the solution.

Premiere Elements 10 - can't play back imported HD video (from Canon HV30) in Quicktime or FCP

After playing around with the trial version, I eagerly purchased Photoshop Elements 10 Premiere for its ability to edit video from my Sony Cybershot camera (Final Cut Pro would not do this) and for its ability to import video from my Canon HV30 HD camcorder (Final Cut Pro is really fussy on this).
Also liked the option of importing without breaking in to individual scenes. FCP and iMovie won't do this.
So, after the first import of a tape, I discover that the imported file will NOT play via Quicktime, and when I imported that file into Final Cut Pro, I got the eternal circle icon which lead to a crash.
What's going on here?

Iphoto 9.5.1. will not play my imported videos from my iPhone 5

When iphonot 9.5.1. imports videos made on my iPhone 5 through iTunes, the videos import but will not play through iPhoto. Anyone know why? Thank you.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
can you play the videos outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player?
if you use iPhoto to import the videos directly will they play in iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Dreaded Red Screen while playing an imported video file

Hi Adobe (and any forum members that can save me)
I have many .MXF files that I can import into Premier Pro CC. Quite a lot of them are just fine when I play them after importing. Some of them, however, arbitrarily have a solid red screen at different portions of the time code. I have no reason why this is - I looked at the forum - removed all my cache files, removed my profile etc. etc. No luck. What am I doing wrong? Is this a known issue in Premier Pro CC?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks
Gangadhar

To further add clarifications -
1. I have all the recent updates
2. The source footage is a .MXF file (Canon)
3. As I said in my earlier note - I get the solid red screen when I try to play the imported .MXF file - again, it only happens with some .MXF files and not all of them
4. I tried to run with the Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration as well as the Software alternative only (it happens in both scenarios)
5. Problem happens with previews - have not gotten to the final output stage yet
6. 3rd party effects and codecs - I installed PluralEyes3.3.2, but I uninstalled it (tried to remove all /Library plug-ins etc.)

How can I play multiple music videos continuously on Apple TV?

Regular music plays continuously, one song to another, etc. I can't get my music videos to do the same. One plays, and after it's over, ATV won't go to the next video. I can't figure it out. Does anyone out there know how to do it?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.

I can't play MPEG4.avi video - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch"

I can't play MPEG4.avi, or any other, video - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch". Please tell me what to do.

I took the video in 2009. I can't remember the camera model I took it with and the other information you request does not show up in the "i" panel in iPhoto.
My version of iPhoto 11 is 9.2.3.

I can't play Sorenson 3 video on Quicktime X

I have a few videos that I need to convert into a viewable format on my Mac. Currently when I try to play the videos on Quicktime X, all I get is audio but no video.
Upon opening Movie Inspector I see the following:
Format: Sorenson Video 3 Pro, 848 x 480
AAC, 44100 Hz, Mono
I already tried enabling legacy codecs on the command line, but I still can't see the video.
Is there anyone that can help me?

Interesting topic. See if the following helps.
Format: Sorenson Video 3 Pro, 848 x 480
AAC, 44100 Hz, Mono
Believe the Sorenson Video 3 Pro codec was a paid multi-pass VRB upgrade to the Apple Standard Sorenson/Sorenson 3 video codec package. Assume the standard package supports Sorenson Video 3 Pro playback but cannot test this hypothesis as I only have the standard codec currently active and no Sorenson Video 3 Pro sample files available for testing. If so, then...
I already tried enabling legacy codecs on the command line, but I still can't see the video.
Under Mavericks and Yosemite, legacy codecs are, by default, available for passive (playback) support. I.e., it is only necessary to re-enable legacy video codecs is you plan to use them actively for export in QT 7 based apps or similar third-party apps like MEG Streamclip. Unfortunately, the "Modernizer" routine for QT X will only pass the data to the converter if it is programmed to do so. If you have the QT 7 player installed on your system, suggest you try playing the file in that media player. If the file plays, then you can either use this player for playback. In addition, if you have the QT 7 Player keyed for "Pro" use or have the MPEG Streamclip app installed on your system, then you can also convert such files to H.264/AAC for compatibility with all current QT media players. On the other hand. if the files are not playable, then it would seem to indicate that the standard Sorenson Video 3 package does not support Sorenson Video 3 Pro playback.
Also of interest to me was the fact that the FFmpeg codec package also supports Sorenson Video/Sorenson Video 3 content. Unfortunately, nothing was stated regarding "Pro" variation playback support in the articles I read. Basically this means that apps, such as VLC, HandBrake, etc, may or may not also support the playback and/or conversion of your Sorenson Video 3 Content. Would, therefore, also recommend you also test your files in these or similar apps. My personal preference for conversion would be the latest version of HandBrake.
