.mov file plays fine on friend's PC, but not mine

Hey, I have a .mov file that is a little over 1gb. It plays the first 4 seconds just fine, and then the picture pauses and the audio stops. The marker on the progress bar and the timer keep going like everything is normal. When I scrub through the timeline, it flashes between a blank green screen and the last frame where it froze.
I have Quicktime Pro and tried exporting is as a smaller file, but it still pauses and does the same thing 4 seconds in. Exported it as .avi, same exact thing.
So, I took it to a friend's PC which is running Windows 7 and it worked just as it should. I'm running XP Pro 64 on mine. I have plenty of hard drive space available and 2 gigs of RAM, so I don't see what's the problem.
I've read that Quicktime tends to have a problem with XP64, and that version 7.4.5 works the best, but after going back to that, it still does the exact same thing.
Does anyone have any thought on this? Thanks in advance!

raytw, I just tried opening it in Streamclip and clicked Fix Timecode Breaks, but it didn't seem to affect it at all. And at first I thought it may be a corrupted file, but then again, it DOES work fine on my friend's PC.
Kirk, I'm starting to think it may be my 64 bit OS as well. I tried changing the compatibility mode, but when I do so, Quicktime gives me an error saying, "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later. Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for QuickTimePlayer.exe." and it won't open.

. mov files playing fine on a Mac, but not on Windows with Quicktime 7.2

I have a few .mov clips that were created in Final Cut Pro and that I need to use on a Windows PC. They are playing fine in Quicktime 7.2 on my MacBook, but on the Windows machine, the files play only audio, no video. The screen is white.
I've tried to play these files in the Divx and VCL players, but they don't work there either.
Is there a reason these files would only work on a Mac?
--- As an aside, after installing 7.2 on above mentioned PC (running Vista), NONE of the .mov files on my hard drive run properly anymore. They are either jerky or "white". They will play fine in the VLC player. I've reinstalled quicktime; no difference. All these files were working fine in Quicktime before the upgrade.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Johannes

Here's Avids answer:
Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
Thanks again.

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

My ripped .mp4 movies will play in QuickTime and AppleTV 3; but not in iTunes? Anyone else have this problem?

I used Make MKV and Handbrake to rip 2 purchased DVDs to mp4. Both will play on my AppleTV 3 and in QuickTime. But in iTunes I can only can see a still-frame, and use the slider to fast-forward and rewind them. They won't play.
If iTunes incorporates QuickTime into playback, I don't understand, as I can play them in QuickTime. I really didn't understand after I watched one of them on my AppleTV 3.
Anyone else having this problem?

What's your output settings in Handbrake?
MP4 is a container format that can be encoded with H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, Divx, etc. iTunes support common MP4 files but not work with all the codecs.
Try some other settings and rerip it. H.264 is mostly recommended.

SWF plays fine on PC and iMac but not on MacBook?

I have created an swf file in Flash professional. It plays perfectly on a PC and on an iMac.
Unfortunately for some reason it has white horizontal flicker lines that flash up every now and then on the moving text when the swf file is played on my macbook and other friends have tested it on their macbooks and macbook pros and they too experience the problem.
I installed google chrome and it doesn't flicker as much as it does in safari and firefox.
A friend told me to convert my SWF file to html5... I didn't have much time to find out why as my friend is very busy but I did it and found the the animation now plays perfectly in google chrome on my MacBook but still not great in safari and firefox.
I'm guessing the problem is with the macbooks and not my animation if it plays find on a PC and iMac. But why is this happening?
I created the flash animation with ActionScript 3, Flash Player 10. Basically I used the default settings.
Could there be a conflict with the ActionScript or flash player I have made it with against my browsers?
I'm no tech wizard so don't know what I'm doing. All I do know is that I have a grumpy client with an unfinished animation so I'd love some help from someone.

Many thanks, kglad.
A couple of follow-up questions, if I may...
1. How do I let flash publish my html?
2. How can I get http://www.e-tutoringonline.org/file.php/1/info.txt to load?

My Mov. files play sound but no picture on Quicktime Player

Please help - I don't know much about computers - called the apple support line and they weren't very helpful.
I'm a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
What do I need to do to play my mov. files? They play on my friends mac but not mine. They were originally edited in final cut pro and saved as mov.
Help please?

I am having the same issue. My .MOV files wouldn't even open, so I converted the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec using MPEG Streamclip as per the Apple Support Tech's instruction. The file will play now, but with no video. What else do I have to do?

Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
Appreciate any suggestions.

I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

.mov file plays great in QT and FC X, but only play video in Premiere. Audio want play in Premiere

One mov file plays in Windows Media Viewer in Ext Hd Drv. Imported as Proxy Media into FCPX it plays in both Event and Time Line for 5 seconds, then goes black. No problem with many other mov files in same project. Tried converting this one file into MP4, but produced only pixellated jumble.

Can you open the clip in the QuickTime player? What are the specs shown in the inspector?

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggsts

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

Mp4 files plays both A/V in itunes but only V on ipod classic

mp4 files plays both A/V in itunes but only V, no sound, on ipod classic

The same happens to me but slightly diff. It doesn't
play the song at all. It only skips to the next song
or returns to the main menu
I've noticed that only the itunes-purchased songs will not play on my ipod mini, although these same songs work fine in itunes...
Once an itunes-purchased songs is selected to play in my ipod, the song does not play. Instead, the ipod screen defaults back to the main menu.
I've downloaded all the lastest upgrades, performed the 5Rs, deauthorized, reauthorized, unistalled & reinstalled software, checked for a complete download of songs in my purchase history, and also played the purchased songs in itunes.

SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using
hope will never return. Thanks

We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

I am not connected to any other network except our own. When I got home his music played was showing where the airplay icon had been. I clicked on the name of his player and it disappeared.
The icon for his library was there and was not updated when you left his house.
When you tried to reconnect, it updated and correctly removed the icon.
To get it back, go back to his house and get on his local network.
