Movie Playback crashes ITouch

I have one movie that will consistently cause the ITouch to crash. It will do this at the same point in the movie every time. The movie plays fine before and after the trouble spot. The movie plays back fine on ITunes.
I have the latest updates installed, but have not purchased the January software release, as I do not think that will address the problem.
Is this a known problem?

Gentlemen:
PC1: intel core2quad, intel xbx2 motherboard, vista 64, 4gig of memory, usb 2.0 Itunes 7.6
PC2: IBM 600E 366PII machine type 2645-8au 396mb of memory running xp pro, usb 1.0 Itunes 7.6
16Gb Itouch:ver 1.1.2
Bought an Itouch last week.Primary reasons were battery life with the ability to play recoded .avi files. Got my Itouch home, recoded a bunch of video files, checked to see that they played (about a minute each), went to the airport, got on the plane, started to watch my videos and......
Each video crapped out at different times, either crashing the Itouch or just stopping in the middle of a video. First thought was that either I had somehow used the incorrect format(unlikely) or that by doing 4 recodes at once (using PC1) that I had somehow caused windows to corrupt a portion of each file.
Came home from a wonderful trip yesterday. JUST HAD to play with my new toy. Tried a few different twists on recoding (diddling the file formats slightly). Still had a failure on playback with each video. Each time at a different point!(?)!!! Got mad. Did a google search. Found this thread. Pulled out my laptop (PC2). Wrote a random (from the bunch that I had done) recoded file over the network to PC2. Used Itunes to sync the file. The file played completely.
The moral of the story is that vista *****. Color me irate. Each machine had an identical version of Itunes. I guess that I'll be using my utilitybox for an Itunes host. If I can do it with PC2, it should be no problem
I will post my results back within 48hours.

Booklet crashing during fullscreen movie playback

My Nokia 3G Booklet crashes during fullscreen movie playback, usually after 30 minutes. I'm using the booklet to play to a LCD screen @ 1024 x 768 via the HDMI output. The movies aren't even HD, just 600-700MB Avi files. I'm using Windows Media Player version 12.0.7600.16415. Anybody else have this problem? The Booklet gets pretty hot playing movies too.

About the temperature you should not worry to much, I would suggest you just to try another player, such as GOM Player, and to see if you have same issue, also If you could submit some logs with the latest Error Logs from your system, so that we can check if there is a Kernel Power issue or it might be related to overheating of your CPU. I had seen full movies over HDMI and no issue with it. I guess might be some software issue.

Movie playback issues

My movies are having playback issues again. Default settings are 44.1kHz 16bps 720p HD.
Operating System: Windows 8
Itunes Version 12.1.0
The issue is the sound goes in the beginning of each film. I have a computer which is two years old and yet there seems to be a recurring problem with movie playback.

I think it depends on which version of iTunes you are using. I had the same problem with digital copy movies when I loaded the 64bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunes64setup.exe, on a Vista machine. Once I deleted that version and loaded the 32bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunessetup.exe, I was able to view the movie in iTunes AND download it to my iTouch.

Saved movie trailers crash iTunes 11.1.1.11

iTunes 11.1.1.11 on my ThinkPad X230 with Win7 64bit crashes. I can click and watch a movie trailer in iTunes fine, but the same trailer downloaded and saved will crash iTunes if I click on the saved trailer. If I try to just play the saved trailer with QuickTime Pro 7.7.4, it opens QT and starts playing without crashing QT, but also without a picture or sound.
I have followed many instruction on the Apple Support Forums, made sure that all my ThinkPad software/drivers are up-to-date, and the same for Win7, I uninstalled iTunes and all of its components as per the support instructions and did a clean install of iTunes 11.1.1.11 and QuickTime 7.7.4.
What gives? What am I overlooking? Everything else in my iTunes seems to be working fine.
Does anyone know about the MSVCR80.dll problem and how to fix it?
Here is the crash report:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH
Application Name:    iTunes.exe
Application Version:    11.1.1.11
Application Timestamp:    524a8521

Hi Brenden,
Thank you for your reply and the suggested article. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to solve the problem.
Here is where I stand now: I have followed every possible lead and Apple Support instruction I could find-- all software is current and up to date, as are my drivers, I followed uninstall and reinstall instructions to make sure everything is clean and functioning.
Everything works fine on my computer and my iTunes except some .mov files crash iTunes.
A downloaded and saved iTunes movie trailer (720p and .mov file) crashes iTunes (as documented in my previous post). If I try to just play the saved trailer with QuickTime Pro 7.7.4, it opens QT and starts playing without crashing QT, but also without a picture or sound.
My question is: why does iTunes play the trailer fine but the same trailer downloaded and saved crashes it when I try to watch it? If I open iTunes in Safe Mode, it doesn't crash iTunes but there is also no sound or picture.
I have other .mov files on my computer that play fine in QuickTime and iTunes, while others play fine in QuickTime but crash iTunes. All my mpeg-4 files play fine in iTunes and QuickTime.
I have now spent so much time trying to solve this problem that it really bugs me .
I'd appreciate all help in finding a true fix. Searching the various forums for the different platforms revealed that other users have the same problem (for example msultan22071: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5292773?start=0&tstart=0).
Thank you!

ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync. I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/. I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help. Please let me know of any solution.

I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

Apple TV 2 - Not synching correctly during movie playback

Hi all,
Recently bought the new Apple TV and have set it up fine. During some movies playback I notice the picture starts to jerk and then the sound is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the picture. To rectify this I have to pause the video, then play. When I pause, I can see the video playing catchup to whichever point in the sound I paused it at.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
The movie plays fine on my iMac with no synching issues. Im assuming its because my iMac is running and using its processors at that given moment. Some of my movies are MKV files encoded to MP4 via Handbrake.
Some help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

It could well be because your Mac is heavy on resource usage running handbrake which will use as much CPU power as is available to do the job.
Having said that I've seen this occasionally with ATV1 and ATV2, and recently I've wondered if it's iTunes doing something else eg automatically downloading a subscription podcast, and effectively freezing to other processes like AppleTV streaming as it saves a podcast to disc.
The other obvious candidate is the network not quite keeping up with streaming demands and running slightly behind.
Try playback without Handbrake or other intensive processes running - does it behave better?

Movie playback madness....?

Hi gang...
I want to create a .swf that is 1080p.
There are 6 .f4v movies (each 320 * 1080) playing at the same time...
Can flash player handle this? I understand that flash player runs on the CPU and not the graphics card? So do i just need to get a monster pc....
or is this movie playback madness...!

Hi david...

Its seems that NVIDIA ION is a good choice...maybe one of these? http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_88869.html

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.

Dl'ing a movie, iTunes crashed, now movie isn't available.

Hi, while downloading a movie, iTunes crashed. I checked for available downloads, and the movie isn't there. Please advise.
Thanks,
Karen

It should show up fairly quickly. If it does not show up soon, you can e-mail itunes support:

Pick an appropriate topic. You will get an "E-mail us": button on the right.

Export to Quicktime movie continued crashes. HELP

I have sequence, it renders no problem. Whenever I go to export to Quicktime movie it crashes. I have gone and deleted all files associated with it and redone the sequence from scratch, and I keep getting the same results. Crash while exporting. I am working in DV, so all I do at export is export to Quicktime movie, which means it should be exporting as a DV movie. I am not sure what is wrong please help.
As always thanks in advance for reading and replying to my Post,
Sebastian

I did try burning the 18.05GB file on i-DVD but even with the auto compression of i-DVD it only managed to compress it down to 5.4GB - too large for my 4.7GB DVD.
The only reason I need to burn it so my friend can author it is that he's a little too fussy and wants to author it on Adobe Encore.
I managed to get a firewire drive - but the blooming PC didnt accept it as it was Mac formated!
I just exported the original file as a QT movie, reducing sound quality, frame rate etc but it still comes out at 17.5GB - still to large for i-DVD (and thats with i-DVD's compression, which comes in at approx 5GB!)
I really really blame myself for this as I never really looked into anything more than the creative aspect of FCP. But I've started now.

Toshiba L4353 39" - USB Movie Playback Problem

Hi,
I recently bought a Toshiba L4353 39" smart tv, the usb playback does work but i keep having this really annoying problem,
basically i'm watching a movie file and everything is fine and then for no reason the playback of the file stops and i'm back at the my content screen, this has happened on multiple films and have tried a few different HDD so i can only assume it's the TV, help?
Thanks, Martin

Did you test the movie playback using an USB flash memory stick or just USB HDD?
Does this issue appear playing movies supporting different file format?
In the [user manual page 89|http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/L4353-323950-English.pdf] you can find information about the file compatibility
Please check if the movie files are encoded properly and use the supported video and audio codec

Question: Apple TV Movie playback freezes very briefly but frequently

Last night I rented a couple of HD movies from iTunes on my 160GB Apple TV and watched them. During playback there were quite a few very brief instants of the picture freezing during movie playback. It's the kind of thing some people may not notice (I don't think my wife noticed), but it got to be kind of annoying to me, to the point where I was anticipating it to happen again instead of enjoying the movie!
One of the movies was about 80% downloaded when I started to watch it, although it said it was "Ready to Play." Also, the hard drive on my Apple TV is about 3/4 full with music.
Anyone have any idea why this would be happening and is there anything I can do to fix the problem?

ffchop wrote:
Thank you for your response. Again, it was relatively minuscule, but just noticeable enough. I will reboot it.
Has this been a noted problem with other users of the old unit?
I've seen very bried video stutters and audio dropouts from time to time.
Another possibility is the encoding but generally it's not that - if you rewind and replay usually it plays ok 2nd time around - if encoding of video was to blame it would always be the same.
I am considering grabbing a new unit in the future. Has Apple noted that the new Apple TV will have "smoother playback" relative to the old unit, or something like that?
Not specifically, it's just a more powerful chip in it than previously - the old AppleTV was probably pushing the limits with the available hardware.
However, from:
http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/
this might be a hint:
"All streaming. No hassle.
Everything you want to watch — films, TV programmes, photos and more — streams wirelessly to Apple TV. That way you don’t have to worry about managing storage or syncing to your iTunes library. HD film rentals play over the Internet to your widescreen TV, while music, photos and TV programmes stream from your computer. Either way, all you have to do is click and play. Since Apple TV features a powerful A4 processor, it streams everything effortlessly, without frozen screens or stutters. Video looks crisp and clear. And just like watching a DVD, you can fast-forward through opening credits, pause for a popcorn break or replay a hilarious scene until you memorise every line."

Is it possible to leave movies on the Itouch and erase them from computer??

I have an Itouch and have been trying to find out how to leave movies on my Itouch after I download them, and then erase them from the hard drive of my computer. I thought it would be simple to do. I tryed downloading the movie then put it on the Itouch, then synced it, then erased it from the mac, but somehow I synced the Itouch and it asked me if I wanted to copy the information from my Itouch to the computer and I didn't. Now the movie is gone from my Itouch. Please explain??

I back up all my purchases to an ext HD. That way I can delete movies/TV shows from iTunes/iPod and still have them available for future days of boredom. You can always add them back to iTunes and watch them later or a 2nd, 3rd., etc. time.

Jerky movie playback, but smooth on camera

I have a Panasonic PV-GS250 I bought in USA and have a great movie on the camera - pretty smooth pans and zooms for a beginner, but when imported into iMovie HD, it plays back jerkily. I'm new at this, but friends don't have same problems - although they use Windows? Film is imported into Mac as NTSC (assume 'cos camera bought in USA), but iMovie should handle all of that no problem, so why the jerkiness? I have checked the Import Perferences and Playback preferences and get no difference on Standard, or Highest! Can anybody help - or do I need to switch to Windows???!

No, you don't need to switch to Windows.
But have a look and see what other programs your running on your PB at the same time as iMovie ..movie import and playback uses a lot of resources, so turn off all unnecessary programs, and go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items, and turn off all unnecessary background programs, such as those which wait for incoming fax calls, those which monitor keypresses, and - also in Sys Prefs - turn off any other items you may have (..at the bottom of Preferences..) such as 'Snapz Pro' screen-monitoring/recording software.
Remove or disable any non-Apple 'codecs' you may have, such as any DVD-burning video software associated with 'Roxio' or 'Toast'.
Check that, under System Prefs>Energy Saver, you haven't ticked the "Put hard disk to sleep" box, or set any other Prefs to make the computer go to sleep or run slowly (..under 'Optimisation', set it to 'Better Performance').
Also, try going back to the iMovie Discussions index, where this topic sits, and type JERKY into the Search box at top right ..you'll see a whole load of Discussions, and suggestions about how to improve things.
Also, go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utilities, select the name of your hard disc, and click on 'Repair Permissions', then wait for a few minutes while your Mac makes sure that all relevant files are set to their appropriate 'permissions'.
A good way to separate your movie import/playback from everything else which your PB is doing, is to buy an external FireWire hard disc (minimum speed 5400rpm, or - better still - 7200rpm), plug it in, and use that for storing movie footage. Then if your PB has some internal 'housekeeping' to do (..indexing files, keeping track of things, writing and erasing temporary files..) it doesn't interrupt the movie playback, as it's using the internal disc for its own things, and just grabbing the footage off the external disc without its being interrupted.
Oh, by the way: Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
Oh, and other people may suggest which is the appropriate version of QuickTime to be using (..I can't remember which is best with 10.3.9..) as some later version(s) ..QT 7..? QT 7.0.2..? may give jerky playback, though I haven't noticed that myself..

connect your iTouch via USB to your computer, wait until iTunes recognizes your device. Then click the "movies" tab and just click the movies you want to watch in your iTouch. Its very simple and not that complicated, once you get the hang of it.
