Movies and videos not playing clearly

I have my movies converted to mp4 format. They play clearly in itunes. On my ipod touch they do not play clearly...the color is choppy. It looks like it's a high-def movie and the ipod can't support it. I have other movies that are older that I have converted and play perfectly fine.
Help?

Aside from Red, Green, and Blue, is it OK?
To reset:
Hold the Sleep+Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Ignore the prompt on the screen to slide to turn off.

That may be a problem with the VLC plugin. VLC has never worked for me properly on the occasions that I've tried it on Windows and Linux, so I have stop using it. There are usually other plugins or media players available that work better.
What kind of media files are that?
For WMP files you can install the new Windows Media Player plugin you can also try RealPlayer and QuickTime if it is about media that those programs can handle to see if that works better.

Purchased music and videos not playing on ipod!!!!

I had an ipod and bought a video ipod recently. I forgot to put in the disc that came with the new ipod, and now all the songs and videos I bought from Itunes Music store wont play in my ipod. By wont play I mean I try to play it and it goes to a black screen, sometimes for 30 seconds. I have tried restoring my ipod but it did not work. Please help

Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.

If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

Audio and Video not playing in sync

After importing my mp4 video into Premiere Pro, the audio plays perfectly, but the video is out of sync and plays as if though it's in slow motion.
I've been using this software for about 4 months and have encountered this problem within the last few weeks.

Thanks for your prompt response, John.
Here are the details:
Video was recorded on Canon Vixia HF R400 HD 53x Camcorder using the automatic setting (no customized settings whatsoever).
I inserted SD card into computer (PC, using Windows 8 operating system), right click to import media file to Premiere Pro CC.
When I attempted to play the video in the Source window, I notice that audio played perfectly, but video was playing EXTREMELY slow. In fact, at times the video was at a standstill and wasn't moving at all.
Here are the result from the MediaArea.Net analysis.

Movies and videos not appearing on iPhone.

I have an odd problem with movies (both those made by me and those purchased via iTunes) not appearing on my iPhone 3GS after syncing, even though they used to.
All of the options in iTunes are set correctly for syncing.
The strange thing is this: I can see the videos being transferred in the sync status bar in iTunes, but when I go into the iPod part of my iPhone and select Videos they are not there.
Also, if I delete the movies from iTunes, and then sync, the movies are actually copied back from the iPhone to my mac, even though they were not showing up on the phone.
Anyone have any ideas? I have selected and deselected every option I can think of and synced over and over again, but it makes no difference.
Regards,
Andy

Guys, I have finally solved my problem, and I hope this helps you too.
In the end my issue with the non-syncing of videos turned out to be due to the Restrictions settings. I had been experimenting with enabling the restrictions for various sorts of content so that my young daughters did not end up seeing, hearing or buying something that they ought not. This then stopped a number of videos from being seen on my iPhone, even though they were there.
So, if you have set any sort of restriction on your phone, check your settings : General > Restrictions > Allowed Content. It may be that this sorts out your some of your problems.
As a side issue, I am a a bit annoyed about this problem. Yes, I played around with the content restrictions, and then forgot about it, but maybe somehow, somewhere during or after a sync a message ought to pop up saying "You have enabled some content restrictions. Some of your audio or video content may not be available on this device"?
Anyway, hope this helps you all.

What's Up with the "?" over the Q and videos not playing

I have the current version of Quicktime. I have noticed now that when I am on the internet and want to view a video.... I see the quicktime Q and then a couple of minutes later a ? mark appears over the Q, and no video. While I'm using itunes.... videos work great..... when I just use the opening video that comes with quicktime.... it works great. Seems the problem only occurs when I am on the internet using safari! Any ideas?
Thanks
John

Movies and videos won't play since last update

since the recent update to itunes, my tv shows and movies will not play. as soon as a movie is selected to play, I get this popup with itunes has stopped working-checking for a solution-blahblahblah-closing program. Itunes is exited. have done the quicktime preferences uncheck 3D, have done the safe mode, have done the uninstall and reinstall itunes. nothing works. now, the unchecking 3D will allow the movie to play but at choppy audio and video, not enjoyable at all. i'm using my desktop for this (windows vista64 bit). Apple will allow not phone support for itunes and got the usual "oh, we're not aware of this problem", yet google it and you see it's pretty common. before the recent update (sep 2012), itunes worked fine. help please.

Hi Rick,
Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.

Imported .mov files turn green and do not play

I imported some video files using the Camera Connector Kit from my Nikon V1 to my iPad 3rd Gen, which are .mov, and they turn green and do not play the actual video footage; however, the sound does play. I've searched the Discussions and have found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same issue. Did you find any solution?

How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie? And why is it not synched?

My iMovie the video is not synched to the audio. It could be about two seconds off. And sometimes the sound just stops. I tested it on Quick Time Player and burnt it to a dvd and it does the same thing. The sound then stops halfway through besides my ilife sound effects. How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie and dvd? I taped the movie from my digital camera and it hasn't done this on imovie before. Any Help?

Hey Christian,
I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
All the best,
David
