More Front Row Blackscreen after a few seconds of video

Hey all, and happy new year!
ok so me and my sis watch a lot of anime. I get a lot of my anime off a site called bleach exile. Sometimes the files are MKV, and so i have to convert these.
I drag the file into quicktime (perian installed) and go to the end of the film. Then i drag another video into the quicktime window. Then close the window. Quicktime asks do i wanna save, and i save to the desktop usually. Then open the file with garage band and cut out the 'other video' then export at full quality. Then i change the exported file extension from .mov to .avi
I know this seems like a chore. But it only takes a few mins per file. Unlike isqunt or handbrake which take ages.
I can play all the files that i do this conversion method in quicktime. but after a few seconds in fontrow the screen just goes blank... This doesnt happen with any of my other .avi (xvid)
there is still sound in frontrow just no video. I have tried renaming the files back to mov. but no success
I want to be able to get a mac mini and watch all my anime on my 22" monitor. but im really annoyed that i have to get up each time and work with quicktime on the desktop!
please help

ok i have found out what is causing the problem. It is the ssa text subtitles embedded in the files. As soon as these subtitles play, the screen goes blank.
So now what?

Photoshop CC 2014 stop after a few seconds

I'm a CC subscriber and I recently updated my photoshop CC to photoshop CC 2014.
I can start Photoshop but it automatically stops after a few seconds. I've already tried to uninstall / install multiple times without any success.
When I read the file "amt3.log" in my temp dir, I can see "[ERROR] | | | | AMT | | | 7188 | ERROR: Failure Validating Product License!".
So it seems like a licensing issue.
Did anyone faced this issue?
Thanks for your help

I have the exact same error on the log file. I even tried the "nuclear solution" with no more results...
But as I tested the nuclear solution, I uninstalled Lightroom (which worked fine) and I've got the same issue, but I solved it by manually installing it (i.e without using the cc application) and it worked fine.
The installer I used for ligthroom : https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
However, I can't get my hands on a similar installer for Photoshop CC.

HT201177 My new Mac Mini is plugged directly into my tv via hdmi cable and the screen will abruptly go blank and then return after a few seconds. Why is this happening?

So I recently got a Mac Mini about two weeks ago and for some reason while I am on it the display will go blank and then return after a few seconds. It is happening very frequently. I checked the HDMI cable, I checked my tv and nothing seems to be wrong with them and I don't know what is going on.
I am getting a bit frustrated because this Mac is brand spanking new and it is totally acting up for no reason whatsoever.
Could someone please help me with this? I don't want my new computer to be useless. I need it.

Which TV model do you have?
Be aware of the fact that very many TVs do expect video signals on their HDMI inputs, not data signals from Macs or PCs. Please consult your TV manual if PCs or Macs can definitely be connected via HDMI, or if e.g. only DVI or RGB/VGA connectors are to be used.
In case of DVI inputs for data being present, it's not a problem if an HDMI->DVI adapter, or better, cable is being used.
Many users here are overlooking this potential reason for problems, assuming that HDMI outputs must always communicate with any HDMI input, certainly also because TV manufacturers do not "advertise" such limitations loudly.
AV receivers with multiple HDMI inputs and a single HDMI video output to the TV are typically more "tolerant" and provide a sort of "converter" function. If present, feed a Mac's HDMI signal into the receiver, not the TV directly. If the receiver does not have enough HDMI inputs, consider to connect rather a video source (DVD player or similar) directly to the TV than the the Mac.

VTY shell freezes after a few seconds?

Hi,
I'm experiencing an odd issue; I don't start the X server at boot however, after a few seconds the VTY will just freeze totally?
The system hasn't hung as I can still access over the network via SSH, and the X server when started (via SSH) works fine.
Basically after a few seconds there is no keyboard input, though at first it does work. So after logging into user account I can use it properly before it will just freeze and I will forced to login through the network using SSH.
Last night after a kernel update it seems the issue got remedied but after a reboot seems to have come back.
Kernel version is: 3.17.3-1 64 bit
The actual system is a Zotac D2550 ATOM mini-itx board
keyboard is standard USB PC keyboard
On boot there was a kernel message about something needing to be run with update, but it went too fast for me to catch and couldn't find it in my logs again. I wonder if that's the issue?
Could anyone suggest something I could try in order to be able to debug this? I can provide more information if needed, though at present I'm not sure what. I also attempted to search for the issue but most results came back with kernel freeze which isn't what I'm experiencing as it seems to be either related to usb devices or the VTY shell specifically.
Thanks.
[EDIT]
Actually I have just tested and keyboard is not functioning even when running the X server - though it does function at first like stated above.
Quick extra edit, did some more digging:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185273
seems related.
GPU is Nvidia! forgot to mention that; lspci mentions it as GT610 - currently using "nvidia" package perhaps I should be using one of the other ones?

The shell is Bash, however I am not sure if it's the shell or VTY directly?? Basically it seems that the input doesn't work any more after a few seconds.... perhaps something to do with USB layer in kernel?
Shell otherwise from SSH is fine (Bash again). Also cursor is flashing but just no input after a while.
Unfortunately I don't see anything

"Mail" application "closes unexpectedly" after a few seconds.

“Mail” application "closes unexpectedly" after a few seconds.
I use "Mail 1.3.11" to hnadle my e-mail. It works fine.
This weekend, due to a problem with an address, the server of my University has delivered more than 1000 messages to my account.
When I have opened "Mail 1.3.11" those messages have begun to enter into the "in" mail box. I have stoped it but anyway a good quantity of them have entered.
I have already solved the server issue but now that I want to empty those messages from "Mail 1.3.11" I cannot since the application "closes unexpectedly" a few seconds after opening it without letting me do anything.
How could I open and kept open my "Mail 1.3.11" until I am able to clean it?

Video stopps after a few seconds

I have a problem playing longer videos on my ipod 60gb. If I load a short video, like 4 minutes, it will play until the end. But if I load a complete movie, like more than an hour, the video will stop after a few seconds. After a short break it continues playing without sound. So, if I stop it by myself and start over it continues playing with sound. But only for a few seconds...then, it stops again.
What's wrong?

Oracle Names server stops after a few seconds

Hi all,
Working as a Server admin and DBA installed Oracle report server. They came to me saying the Oracle Names Server stops after a few seconds.
There are 2 windows 2003 R2 32 bit servers, active passive config. The first server runs the service fine, this second server has the issue. Both servers were build the same..very strange that one would work and the other now.

Hi,
I had similar issue on a smaller network. After hours and hours on try to resolve this issue on the software side, I found it to be "only" interferance.
Maybe your isssue is different but here is a quick test if you have a portable computer; just place you in front of your AE and see if it still cuts. If it is not, you can suspect wireless interference.
Besides your multiple AE, do you have another wireless router?
Wireless interference may come from wireless phone, neightboor wireless network, microwave, etc. In the case you found this to be related, you may try different channel but remember that only channel 1, 6 and 11 are not overlapping.

Import stops after a few seconds

I just bought a Canon Elura 80 a few months ago, and have just taped an hour of incredibly sweet baby stuff from our newborn onto a used tape (oh boy, I hope it's not the tape...) anyway, I had no trouble the first time importing using iMovie HD from an unused tape. This time, however, the tape stopped after a few minutes, even though the footage did not. I rewound, rebooted, restarted everything, and no matter what, the computer keeps stopping the tape after a few seconds.
I'm not an experienced user by any means. Any chance there is some kind of setting or memory problem?.... It seems to want to import this clip into the pre-existing file, which is fine, since that's also baby stuff, but maybe there's a limit on how much can go in one file?... please help!

Ok, I tried changing the settings to import as individual clips to OFF. What I did was to go into iMovie HD preferences and clicked of the button for "start a new clip with each scene break." This did not help.
I am not sure how to change the mode of recording, but with the tape rewound all the way it only gives me 61 minutes of time, so I think that is ok.
I don't know what the file vault program is, or how to turn it off.
I don't have an external HD, and my camera is connected directly to my computer through a firewire, so that should be ok.
The most frustrating thing about this is that when I play it on the camera, it plays just fine, it's just that on import the computer seems to stop the camera.
More suggestions?

New iPod Classic jumps to next track after a few seconds of certain songs

I have several tracks that will not play on my new iPod Classic (80 gig) for more than a few seconds. After a few seconds, the iPod jumps to the next track. I have played the same songs on my last generation iPod with no problem and in Itunes and Windows Media player with no problem. There is clearly an issue with the new iPod hardware/software. Anyone else having this issue and found a fix.
I have already done a complete reinstall of the new iTunes and restored my iPod to factory settings and installed the latest iPod software.

Actually - I just noticed your solution to the issue. I tried PT's solution, which I mention above and it didn't work. I haven't tried your solution - however, I have considered it. Here's the problem with it though. The first problem is having to sift through 5400+ songs on my ipod to know which ones are having the issue and which ones need to be burned. The second issues is that the songs are compressed mp3's. Converting the compressed mp3's into a cd and reimporting it back into mp3 further degrades the file - you're essentially making an mp3 from an mp3. It actually makes no sense to do this unless you've purchased your music from an online store and therefore don't have the original cd's. Since all of my music is from my cd collection, it would be simpler to re-import the songs from the cds. But, it's really the first issue I mentioned that is the kicker - I don't want to go through my entire music collection to find out which ones are having the problem. The problem isn't the tracks as far as I am concerned - I still have my previous generation iPod and the same tracks play fine. The same tracks play fine in iTunes and Windows Media Player. The problem is the new iPod. If Apple can't resolve the issue through an iPod/iTunes update in the next week or so, I'll just return the iPod and stick with my old one.

Anything that I copy on my desktop gets deleted automatically after a few seconds. Any idea what is going on ?

I have a problem with my MBP.
One day something weird started happening. Every time I would copy / save / download something on my desktop it got deleted automatically after a few seconds. On very very rare occasions this would not happen.
This has been going on for 3 months now and I haven't found any sollution. The last option is to format and reinstall Lion but I hope there is a faster/better solution than that.
I have a 2011 15-inch MBP with the up-to-date Mac OS X Lion.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/com\.apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Step 4
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, steps 1-4 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

Losing connection after a few seconds

Hi all,
My network connection drops after a few seconds from restarting network (with /etc/rc.d/network restart). This has started happening a few days ago and I don't remember doing anything out of ordinary. Conky still reports some (very little) network traffic (4.0kb down, 0.1kb up, around that), but no browser works, and even ping doesn't work. Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Thank you

The right direction would be posting more info and checking some chardware is applicable: are you using wired or wireless, if wired, check the cable, restart the router if you're using one, are you using dhcpcd or some other app etc. etc.
