Movie Playing on HD TV via HDMI plays to fast

Hi everyone,
I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini with 8G of RAM and it is connected to a Sony Bravia 55' Full HD TV via HDMI.
When I play a movie from the mac mini , there is a clear " fast going " effect , the video plays faster than natural but the sound is ok.
It does it with Itunes movies and VLC .
I am a bit lost and really do not know what could be the cause.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

UP !
I have done all the Itunes upgrades and my Sony TV has build-in WIFI so the firmware and " services " are up to date.
But still no luck ... always this effect of video playing fast but the sound is ok. Would it have something to do with HDCP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection ) ???
I am lost and each time I try to watch anything via my mac mini I get frustrated for weeks ...
Please help, any suggestion is more than welcome.
Cheers

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

I downloaded a rental movie (SD) onto my iPad2 and tried to play on my TV via VGA adaptor; it says not authorised. How come and what can I do?

Media Center Keeps playing audio when connected to HDMI

I have LCD TV connected to may laptop.
The media center keeps playing audio sound when the HDMI sound output is enable.
Laptop: CQ35-214TX
OS: Windows 7

This is one of the BIGGEST reasons why I would want to take my PC and chuck it into the nearest heavily traveled lane of traffic and watch it get completely destroyed by any vehicle that runs over it then go buy a MAC. The idiocy involved in doing such a simple task is revolting.
FIrstly, and in no way am I directing my ire at you specifically, I have already performed almost everything you have listed for me to try... PREVIOUS to me posting this cry for help.
Secondly, I included a screen shot of the sound devices in my first post and indicated that my display driver/device is Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000. Beyond that, I don't know what you are looking for.
Thirdly, and most frustrating, the document you told me to "follow every single word of instruction" (which I have previously done) doesn't even tell me to connect the laptop to the TV. It talks about the different kinds of connections but never actually TELLS me to connect the laptop to the TV and WHEN to do it.
When I connected my laptop to my TV for the first time it never tried to load ANY drivers. HOWEVER, it does show "PANASONIC TV" (the brand of my TV) and the monitor type in the resolution dialog. But it also show no other type of monitor.
The biggest issue I can see is that there is NO DRIVER LISTED FOR THE HDTV AUDIO in the sound devices. Therefore how could it transmit audio via the HDMI cable since it doesn't seem to even recognize it?
I am at my wits end. And I have NO INTENTION OF PAYING SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS WORK!!!! There is NO reason why it should not work upon conection of the HDMI cable.
What the hell is wrong with HP (or any other PC manufacturer - and Microsoft, as well) when the simple task of connecting a laptop to a TV is so complex and convoluted. And, by the way, I am an electrical engineer with multiple degrees... And this doesn't make sense to me!!! For pity's sake, can someone please give me a simple solution to what should be a simple issue??!!

HD movie and tv show files won't play in iTunes 10.6.3.

Just did a fresh install of Mountain Lion and for some reason now HD movie and tv show files won't play. I get a black screen.
Standard Def tv shows and movies are still playing fine though.
Oh and yes I already tried switching it to 32-bit mode via the "Get Info" screen. Same problem results.
Any suggestions?

I think I have the same problem. Every time I play some HD movies in iTunes the movie seems to be stuck and the screen black. If I scrub the movie forward I can see the picture, even captions, but I can't play them. I said some because there are certain movies that DO play. I mean HD ones, SD video plays fine. But I couldn't find any clue. It's not a matter of file size, neither a matter of resolution, compressio... I'll wait for an update (system and/or iTunes) and if nothing happens I think I'll dig a little more. This is no big issue for me since they ALL seem to play perfectly when I select AirPlay to my Apple TV.
I'll try checking tags

I have rented a movie 8hours ago, and it will NOT play. The system also charged me twice, for the same movie! How can you help me please?

For the film not playing, you can use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
Not sure whether you can request a refund for the double charge via the same link, if not then you can contact iTunes support here : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Rented a movie on itunes, but it won't play or transfer, why?

I rented a movie on itunes, but when trying to play it the computer prompts me "itunes has stopped working" and then crashes. Then when trying to transfer the rental, thinking it was possibly a computer issue, itunes then notifies me that it cannot transfer because my computer has not been authorized to play the movie. The rental movie was not only purchased and downloaded on an authorized computer, I also attempted to humor it and authorize it again, yet it remains in the same condition after several tries.
I was attempting to transfer it to an iphone 4s, but if there is a possibility of playing it on a computer it would be prefered. My operating system is Windows 7, if that helps.

I've seen this when downloaded to a computer/device that wasn't authorized. Try to re-authorize in case it (or someone else) became de-authorized again.

I know the old solution was to go into the apps folder, right click on itunes and change it to 32 bit mode. Since OSX maverics I can not run it in 32bit mode anymore so now any of the itunes movies on my mac mini will not play.

My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver. Everything works fine when watching movies. When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound. Has this happened to anyone else?

Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.
psoon, here's a link to the iPad community:

My Chromebook will not let me install software via google play; so how do I install to a Chromebook?

The instructions for installing my printer software says I need to do so via Google Play. However this does not work on a Chromebook, which is what I have. Chromebook tech support says I cannot download apps from google play, only google chrome store. However, the printer in question is on the chromebook list of being usable with the chromebook. (pixma MG5520) So. . . the question is. . . . how do I install it. . . .there must be a way.

Hi booknest2,
The PIXMA MG5520 is set up a little differently when using it with a Chromebook than other Android devices. First, let's set it up on your network:
1. Go to the Home menu or press the Home button.
2. Use the arrow keys until Wireless LAN Setup appears and select this option.
3. If a 'WPS' prompt appears, press STOP.
4. Select the Standard Setup option.
5. Follow the remaining prompts on the printer menu to connect the unit.
Once your PIXMA MG5520 is connected to your netowrk, please set it up for Google Cloud Printing. You can do that by following this link:
Setting up Google Cloud Printing
Once set up, if you are getting a "Printer Offline" error, please disable the ECP settings on your PIXMA MG5520 by following these steps:
1. Turn your PIXMA MG5520 on.
2. Select ECO Settings from the HOME screen.
3. Using the up and down buttons, select an item. Using the left or right button, choose OFF or Disable for all the items in this menu.
Once set, please attempt to use Google Cloud Print.
Hope this helps!

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.
