Movie Stopped Playing after about half an hour

Hi everyone!
I recently burnt an iDVD movie that I had made in iMovie and then played it on my DVD player. Everything was working fine and I had skipped a couple of chapters... after watching for around half an hour the video and audio stopped playing... I also tried it on another DVD player, it did the same thing but straight away. Could it have been something wrong with the burning or is it the DVD or the DVD players? The DVD I used was a TDK DVD-R.
Thanks

Hi Jia,
The media refers to your brand of discs. Try a different brand of discs. Verbatim is the most commonly recommended brand, although Sony, Panasonic and TDK have good success rates too, although sometimes even the highest recommended discs fail.
Also, don't use iDVD to burn a disc. Go to the file menu in iDVD and save it as a disc image. Then you can use Toast or the disc utility to burn the disc image at a slow speed - 1x or 2x. The slower the speed, the better the burn.

  • My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

    My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

  • Videos stop playing after about 2 minutes on ITunes

    Hello! Sorry, if I have missed an answer to the same question. I have recently upgraded to ITunes 7.5.0.20 and found out that any video purchased through ITunes stop playing in about 2 minutes. While ITunes show the video is still running, there is no picture (and no sound) on the computer with the last picture frozen. There is no problem in playing the same videos on Ipod so far. The problem appeared only after I have upgraded ITunes and does not go away while I have tried to re-install ITunes a number of times. No problem with the video files converted and transferred to ITunes. Would appreciate any hint or solution. Michael

    It's an internal problem with the hardware/software with computers running windows. The only solutions is to copy your videos to an external harddrive, and play them from there. If you do so they will play normally. There has not been a "fix" from itunes yet, so that's the only way to watch them (for now).

  • Web player randomly cut off sound and stop playing after about 5 seconds.

    My web player cut off the sound and stops after about 5 seconds. The only way to get it to work again without refreshing the page it to select a different time periode in the time bar. Also it happens more often at the first 25% of the movie.
    I am using safari with add block on a Macbook pro retina (if this helps with the issue).
    What can I do to solve this.

    I suspect you are running into the following bug:

  • HT1320 iPod Nano 6th stops playing after about 1.5 minutes

    I listen to long poscasts. After about 1.5 minutes, the play stops. I've updated, reset. No success.
    Related, my headphones no longer control volume or pause.
    What should I try next?
    Thanks

    I read the answer on this forum.
    The jack receiver was cluttered with pocket lint. Use a needle to help you pick/tap/blow the stuff out.
    When it could not detect the headphone jack, the iPod turned off. Once the jack was detected (with the clean receiver) , everything good.

  • My nano 6th generation stops playing after about 30 seconds.

    My Nano (6th Generation has suddenly began to stop playing music after about 30 seconds. Pressing the play arrow starts it again but only for another 30 seconds. I have restored it to factory settings twice but the problem is still there.

    This happens because the nano is not detecting that your headset is inserted.
    First, push your headset jack in really hard. If you can see any silver at all of the headset jack when it is plugged in, it is not fully inserted.
    You should feel and hear a distinct "Click" when the headset is fully inserted.
    If even after all this you still have the problem, check to see if something has gotten stuck in the headset jack. I got some pocket lint in mine the other day and it cause this. Used some can'd air to get it out.

  • Songs stop playing after about 2 minutes

    Certain songs in my iTunes library stop playing near the end and there is only silence.  It doesn't happen with every song so I can't predict which ones will behave this way.  Any ideas?

    I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
    I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
    Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

  • Videos stop playing after about 25%. Will load completely but

    will not play past a certain point.  Happens on just about any video site. Running latest version of Flash Player on Windows 7 (64 bit) on new system.  Also running Chrome but have had same results on IE64 and IE32 bit. Seems to be a growing problem from what I've been reading but haven't found any solution as of yet.  Any help?

  • It hags down after about half an hour, tried ur switchProxy disable tool but didn't work.

    I installed the Firefox 5 a few days back. It looks awesome but it did not respond after around 30 minutes of use. I had to close the browser and re-open it again and the same problem occurs. It was not the case with the older version with me.

    Thank-you for the interesting suggestion but I am using a Mac and I have been using FF for years. I would like to find a solution to this (fairly) recent "CPU spiral" problem with FF.

  • Music with slide show stops playing after about a minute

    I tried a different song but had the same issue. Any suggestions to resolve this?

    Why are you posting this question in an iWeb forum?  Does it have anything to do with iWeb?
    Why not go and post it in the iPhoto forum and you might get more help there.

  • Hi, after about half an hour I can't select any open tabs or see new tabs. When I reboot and restore previous session the new tabs appear.

    Existing tabs can't be activated. I have no problem with restoring a previous session or opening previous tabs, but although new tabs are created - because I see them when I restart Firefox - they are invisible until I restart. Also, some, but not all of the menu options are not accessible until I restart.
    Any advice would be appreciated,
    Cheers,

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to check if other software is causing this.

  • Track stops recording after about an hour

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to record from some old tapes in order to create mp3s. The track stops recording after about one hour. The Tape is over one hour long. I read about a similiar problem in the forum and tried dragging the purple timeline marker to the right but it won't move any further. What is this called and what does it do? I also read about changing the sampling rate, but I cannot find where to do this. Where do I find documentation on this?
    Many Thanks for any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Bill

    Garageband 3 doesn't record more than 1999 beats (GB2: 999). Since in your case the beats don´t matter, you can lower the tempo to the minimum (40 bpm) to get a maximum recording time of 3:18:48.
    As for the sample rate: You can't change the export sample rate of GB, it's always 16 bit, 44.1 kbit/s (internally GB works with a higher resolution).

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.
