.mp4 H.264 not playing correctly in Quicktime Pro

Here is all my information:
Format: H.264 Decoder, 720x480 Millions AAC, Mono, 48.000 kHz
FPS: 23.98
Data Size: 1.86 GB
Data Rate: 2695.08 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 640 x 480 pixels (this is the current size too)
The Problem: I have perfect audio, but the video seems extremely choppy and lags. I wanted to do simple editing of some video and I thought that the Quicktime Pro may help this file play better, so I just bought Quicktime Pro to see that it does not help the file play any better. Could there be a setting that I'm missing somewhere? My roommate has Quicktime Pro on Windows and the file plays for him perfectly. The file also plays fine on VLC... So I thought it must be a setting that I am missing. Thanks.

It depends on which version of Windows Media Player they're using. If they're still on XP, it's very possible it won't work. Anyone using Windows 7 or 8 should have no problem. (And perhaps it does need to be said, but everyone should be using either 7 or 8 by now.)
At least one of them was on Windows 7.
Is there a better format I should be using for PP export other than H.264?

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. Can I correct this?

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. A little jerky. Is there an easy slution to the problem?

I worded my question incorrectly. It isn't a DVD I'm having the problem with, it' s a Nightwish concert download form iTunes I am having the video portion of the video that plays not smoothy. Like it is moothing it short little segments, not a steady flow!

Why are my .m4v downloads not playing correctly on QuickTime 7.0.4?

Can anyone out there help, please? I downloaded the Pixar shorts (.m4v format), which should only play on QuickTime. Except they aren't playing correctly: the picture is fine; the sound is stuttering and off-sync. BACKGROUND: I've got a mother of an Windows XP Pro animation system with DSL. I've tried all the QuickTime Preferences suggested on this website to no avail. Any other suggestions? Thank you.

I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!

HD video does not play correctly in Quicktime

I have a Kodak Z1275 camera. My PC is a Compaq with Athlon 64 3800 processor. Quicktime version 7.4.1.
When I play videos taken in HD mode, the color is not correct when I play them back using Quicktime. Everything is blue.
When I play them back on the camera, they are fine.
Videos taken in non-HD mode play fine on the PC.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Thanks

Open the QuickTime Control Panel / Video tab and check the box to use "Safe mode".
Quit and relaunch QuickTime Player and any open browser and try the file again.

Embedded Quicktime not playing correctly in InDesign PDF - please help!!

ok - I have an issue that I can't work out and I'm hoping someone can help - tried searching for an answer to no avail. I've just built my first interactive PDF portfolio in InDesign. I should point out that I'm a producer/editor, so my knowledge of InDesign & Acrobat is not extensive. The PDF includes some embedded Quicktime movies. The movies play normally on one of my monitors (Samsung 1680x1050), but will not play correctly on my other two monitors (2x Samsung 1280x1024) - the audio plays and the play controller appears to be working but the video area is just all white...HOWEVER...if I open the PDF and play just one of the videos on my 1680x1050 monitor first, then all videos play correctly on all monitors. Have tried opening the PDF on another desktop and the movies do not work (in the same manner as above)- also tried on my laptop and the movies play correctly. Please help if you can - I need to get this out to clients and I'm baffled!! Thank You!

Film not playing smoothly on quicktime!

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me as i am out of ideas of how to solve my problem!
I have exported a film it is 2 mins long with the first min being a slide show of photos with tilts and pans. When i first exported it the first minute when played on quicktime were jumping. Not at the same point but at random times. I downsized the photos on photoshop and this helped it but they still are not perfect. The rest of the film was playing fine. I then decided it might help if i export the photos as a separate film and then reimport it. Again this helped but they are still not playing perfectly on quicktime for some reason. Any ideas for what i could do? I have put the res down too much already so i cant down size them anymore.
Now when i play the video on quicktime the last half of the film is jumping in the same way as the photos were. I have tried it on VLC player and it works fine but it has to be played on quicktime for a client so i really need this to work on quicktime. I have tried exporting it as many different formats and reducing the bit rate but still the same thing is happening.
I really need some sort of clue to what is going on and how to solve this problem as i am out of knowledge and ideas!
the info on the latest export of the film:
QuickTime movie
Size: 153 MB on disk (152,965,033 bytes)
1920 × 1080
H.264, AAC, Timecode
Audio channels: 2
total bit rate: 8,492
Thank you!!!

I am not sure I understand everything you asked me but let me try my best to answer your questions.
Basically I was attempting to point out that different encoding strategies and software applications could affect your workflow in different ways. For instance, your used the term "slideshow" which could either be the sequential display of a single JPEG fr
I am using premiere pro to create the slideshow. I import the jpeg then i add motion via the effects tab by key framing. These jpegs go into the same sequence settings as i listed above and are exported as a .MOV in the H264 Codec bit rate is 8,223 and 25 FPS .
Yeah when I exported the slide show as a film and then reimported it into the sequence it was a .MOV with the above properties.
I used quick time 10 to play the film. I also have version 7 but i want it to play on the 10 as this is the version my client has.
That is a good idea but i still have the same problem with both films played separately. It is difficult to determine what is causing it as it is unpredictable where it jumps and for how long for.
ame for a specific period on a single track, the interspersed display of such JPEG photos on two different tracks on an alternating basis with or without a 'tweening track to apply transitions between the display of alternating track photos, or the display of such photos in a single track which has been encoded as "video" content containing multiple frames per unit of time.
My sequence settings are as follows:
Editing mode: DSLR, 25FPS, 1080X 1920, Codec: MPEG I FRAME.
The software I am editing on is Premiere Pro CS6.
The photos are JPEGS and the films are .MOV, 1080 x1920 at 25 FPS.
Not a Premier user, so your settings (DSLR and MPEG I FRAME) are somewhat confusing to me.
The JPEGS started out as roughly 3,000 pixels large and 300 dpi. This made the video jump a lot. So i took them into photoshop and reduced the pixel dimensions to the closest possible i could to the 1920x 1080 format my film is to be in. I cant remember what each indiviual JPEG was as they were all different but roughly speaking I set them to around 1500 - 2000 pixels and 72 dpi. This certainly helped the jumping but didn't stop it all together.
The slide show has no text. It is old black and white photographs from the 1920's . I should also say that when i reduced the distance that the pans and tilts has to travel this helped the jumping. it seems to be where there is movment over the still images the film jumps in quicktime.
I am using premiere pro to create the slideshow. I import the jpeg then i add motion via the effects tab by key framing. These jpegs go into the same sequence settings as i listed above and are exported as a .MOV in the H264 Codec bit rate is 8,223 and 25 FPS .

Thanks for the clarifications.
If you are changing both dimensions and the resolution reference in Photoshop, then it sounds like you are doing everything correctly here. However, am not sure about your use of the term "key framing." Are you referring to the use of "key" frames to initiate/modify motion effects or the use of "key frames" to insert additional I-frames to improve the rendering of motion effects? The use of an excessive number of I-frames can change the allocation of data between intra- and inter-frames if the target data rate is left unchanged—sort of a "rob Peter to pay Paul" situation. E.g., if too much data is "borrowed" from the "difference" frames, then the motion transitions may cause playback to become jerky in the same way that "dropped frames" during playback would. In this case, you may wish to try an increase in the target data rate for the file to see if it provides a smoother rendering during photo "slideshow" playback. (Am assuming here that your MPEG-4 AVC exports are a minimum Main Profile @ Level 3.1 allowing data rates up to 14 Mbps in which case I would likely try a target setting of about 10 Mbps for testing.)
That is a good idea but i still have the same problem with both films played separately. It is difficult to determine what is causing it as it is unpredictable where it jumps and for how long for.
Suggestion was to test whether the problem was caused by sourced content encoding or the process of "merging" the different types of content. Recommend you reprocess the photos in Photoshop at 72 dpi reference (if not already doing so) to appropriate resolutions and then reprocess the results in Premier to see what happens.
You mentioned VFR- is there a setting i should be aware of for this- can you explain this to me in a bit more depth what is that? I thought the FR is set to 25 and it sticks to 25 unless i select another frame rate?
you mentioned at the end of your reply that it could be data rates or frame rate issues- what would you suggest to solve this problem?
Not familiar with settings available in Premier. Was referring to the use of VFR strategy to eliminate duplicate frames. I.e., if you were exporting photos as stationary "slideshows" rather than using motion effects like Ken Burns, then the elimination of duplicate frames might reduce the data rate requirements associated with "slideshow" exports in "video" compression formats. QT is programmed to skip frames if it is unable to keep up with data throughput—which is most frequently the primary source of jerky playback.

Online video clips do not play correctly on all browsers

I am unable to play video clips at the right speed without them stalling and stuttering. For example, a typical YouTube clip will not play correctly, so the video will stutter and the sound won't play in time with the video.
This is especially frustrating when wanting to play music video clips as the song will stutter. This happens regardless of browser - Firefox, Safari or Netscape.
I have a broadband Internet connection but wonder whether I need to adjust speed settings somewhere so sound and music play correctly.
I have no problems playing songs via iTunes or watching video clips using Quicktime, it's just the embedded video clips on YouTube etc that won't play correctly.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Flash video is very CPU intensive, open activity monitor and look at your CPU usage while trying to watch a YouTube video, no doubt it is at 100%.
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about this - my 400 Mhz G3 can't handle flash video and by the look of some previous posts on the forum I'd be surprised if any can .

Videos not playing correctly

I've had my video iPod for a couple of weeks and generally, I love it. But I noticed that just today (this was NOT an issue before), the videos do not play correctly -- and it's not file-specific. Here's what happens:
The first few rows of pixels lag behind the rest of the video. it's always the same rows. It's especially noticeable while watching Lost with its faster sequences. Has anyone experienced this?

MIDI files don't play correctly in QuickTime

I believe this is a bug in QuickTime, but since I don't expect the typical QuickTime user to understand this, and because I am generating the MIDI files with Logic, I thought this forum is an appropriate play to post this.
I'm producing some MIDI files that I would like people to easily be able to playback without installing special software. So that means using QuickTime.
The problem is QuickTime does not handle MIDI program changes properly. I put together a simple test case, it's just the notes C D E F and before each note it changes the MIDI program to 0, 10, 20, 30 respectively. So every note should sound different. When I play it with QuickTime, on either OS X or Windows, it does not play correctly. It seems the program change messages lag behind by one note.
To make sure this wasn't a problem with the MIDI file, I have tried playing it with:
* a hardware synthesizer
* SimpleSynth (a freeware program)
* AU DLS Synth (using Max/MSP to play the MIDI)
* WinAmp
* Windows Media Player
In all these cases, the playback occurs exactly like I would expect. So... QuickTime can't handle program change messages? Has anyone else experienced problems with this? Anyone know of a workaround? How about some easy alternatives to MIDI playback on Mac for people who don't have Logic?
I tried to find a workaround: I made the program changes occur well before the note-on, but that didn't help. I also tried sending multiple program changes to try to force QuickTime to listen. That didn't work either.
I have QuickTime 7.5.5. If someone else can verify this is a QuickTime bug, I will submit a bug report to Apple.
The file I used for testing is here: http://stashbox.org/262021/program-change-test.mid

Adam,
I can confirm this behavior on both Tiger 10.4.11 (QT 7.4.5) and Leopard, (QT 7.5.5).
I messed around with it and almost had it working by using a +30-tic offset on all events. The problem seems to be a good sized buffer used by the QT synth. If there is a solution I think it will be an initial offset by --- number of tics.
I'd also separate the program change and note event by at least a couple of tics.
Like this example using a 60-tic offset.
1 1 1 60 PG
1 1 1 62 Note on
2 2 2 60 PG
2 2 2 62 Note on
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Back in the day I used to do MIDI files for commercial distribution, I know how
frustrating it can be. Trying to get consistent sound over a variety of GM/XG synths.

What is the "Download All" button at the bottom of my playlist and why when I select it songs begin downloading and take up my storage space? If I don't download them the songs will not play correctly....

I have activated iTunes match and iCloud, now when I go to my Music app and choose me 'best' playlist, I see a button at the bottom of the list that says download all. If I choose this option every song in that playlist begins downloading (near 1,000), this is taking up memory on my phone instead of using the cloud. If i DO NOT download all of the songs they do not play correctly (skipping certain songs, not playing all the way through, etc.) What's this all about and what can I do about it? Why are my songs not just playing through iCloud? I thought that was the point.....

To be honest, you shouldn't need a great 3G service for it to be able to keep up with a song, but if it's a very weak signal then it could be the problem.
Unless you have unlimited 3G then I would recommend using wi-fi anyway, as you could easily run into monthly limits otherwise.
Do you think that it works better with wi-fi than 3G, or just the same? If it is the same then I would have to question whether this is actually your problem.
As to whether you should download songs beforehand, I would say that as a temporary measure it probably makes sense if it's possible as it will download them anyway and that way you get to listen to the music properly. However it does mean that you have to start downloading before you start listening which may be annoying.
I'd be interested to hear whether the performance is better with wi-fi than 3g though. It could be that I'm barking up the wrong tree.

FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Nathan

Nathan,
Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
See if this can be implemented at your end.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

MOV files from Ipad not playing correctly in 2010 Windows PPT presentation

I inserted .mov files taken from Ipad 2 into a.ppt on my work PC. I saved these files to the folder containing all of the videos I am showing in the ppt-- the same folder where the .ppt is located as well. Then I inserted them as I do all videos (I create ppts often for work) -- and the clips that are horizontal play fine but the vertical ones do not play correctly- audio and video not in sync. any remedies? (using ppt 2010, converted files to wmv, didn't work either). I should add that when I viewed these files on my PC (by just clicking the file) they play fine, but they are not rotated correctly. This must have been my fault when I took the videos. However, when I insert them they are rotated correctly but just don't play right - looks like a Japanese movie. please help!

Some of my songs on itunes are not playing correctly...

i moved all my music files to my external hardrive, and they were working just fine. but for the last month, some random songs are not playing correctly!! they sound like how a scratched cd sounds (skipping, etc..., and then it just stops and it skips to the next song). the songs were playing perfectly before, it was all of a sudden, and not all, just some of them.)Also, the same songs that are not playing can not be transfered to my ipod... (tear)

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively! I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
