.mp4 videos only play sound plus 1 frozen frame every 20 seconds

Hello, I am trying to edit some .mp4 videos in QT 7 pro. I was able to edit them before updating but now all they do is play the sound with like a frozen frame every 20 seconds that morphs into the next frame that it chooses to play. I can play these files fine with VLC. I don't have the mpeg-2 playback feature but these are .mp4. I use a PowerBook G4 with panther OS 10.3.9. Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

Hi,
I solved it, and I'm posting the solution here for someone else. It has to do with the Turbo mode on the Core i7 processor.
I happened to notice that the jump happened during a period of no video on the timeline, and I saw that the playhead literally jumped back, which led me to conclude that this had nothing to do with GPU, but was related to the timebase. I searched the Adobe forums for posts related to a jumping playhead, and found a guy who said that the Turbo mode on the Core i7 processor messes with Premiere's timebase, and the playhead jump is a correction for it.
Switch do regular High Performance mode, and video is completely smooth.
Thank God I didn't go out and buy new video cards and tore the computer apart and did clean installs as was suggested. But it's pure luck, that would have been my next step.
Thanks, some guy!

  • 1.1.3 - iPod Touch video podcasts play sound; only still image

    For some strange reason, since getting the new update (but not the January update as I'm not going to pay £13 for that!) for my iPod Touch, video podcasts of trailers downloaded from Apple Trailers through iTunes play as sound files with a random frame from the video appearing as album art.
    So if I turn my iPod Touch horizontal, the single image shows up at the end of Cover Flow as audio podcasts do when being played. However, there is no video at all. Normal videos play fine.
    What the **** is going on?

    Oh ... I'm so stupid. Sorry - when I wrote that they don't show up under VIDEO, I didn't actually check.
    They are there and they do work. In fact, I think that as long as people like me remember which is which, having videos only play audio when played from the PODCASTS section is quite useful in some circumstances.
    I've learnt my lesson.
    Now if only I could get that update for free ...

  • My computer only plays sound with headphones

    Product Name: pavilion pd6 
    product number: vm22ua#aba
    operating system: Windows 7
    error: my laptop only plays sound when i have headphones plugged in
    no changes made to the system before the issue occurred. new drivers were installed for my audio settings after the problem occurred but nothing worked.

    Do the Music and Videos app still play through the iPad's speakers ? If so then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • IPAD to Apple TV OS 4.2 - Netflix app only plays sound?

    Using an Ipad with OS 4.2 and Apple TV 2 OS 4.2.(latest updates as at 11/23/2010)
    Using the Netflix Application when I move it from IPAD to TV it ONLY plays sound on the TV. In contrast movies or videos from the itunes library play correctly

    I am assuming you photos are loaded into your ipad?? If so start by selecting the photo app & the album you wish to play. Select "slideshow" on the ipad, once it is started, tap the top right hand corner of the ipad and you will see the airplay symbol (like an envelope), tap it and select airplay & your photo's will display on the TV
    (Make sure the TV and the apple airpaly device are switched on)

  • Airplay only playing sound

    I have an iPhone 4 and just got the new iPhone 5 today and on both devices, airplay is only playing sound when I try to mirror a youtube vidio from my iphones to my appleTV.  When I set the iphone to mirror to my appletv, i get the message "this device can only play sound over airplay."
    Any thoughts as to why??  Don't get it...
    Other info:
    Checked all my router settings..set on 2.4 GHz, auto channel

    What an obnoxious reply.  It sounds like you are completely confused by what I was suggesting, so let me try again ...
    I had suggested using the Remote app on your iOS device -- not the slim remote control that came with your ATV.  Using the Remote app on your iOS device is much easier than the ATV remote control, and using the iOS app is no harder (or slower) than navigating YouTube on your iOS device.
    If you don't know what the Remote app is, then you're you're not only missing out on a great way to control your ATV, you're also showing your ignorance (or is it arrogance?)

  • IOS 8 all videos only play in landscape view

    TV Shows, Movies and even Music Videos only play in Landscape view, not Portrait.  Is this everyone's experience?

    The Apple iOS 8 Preview site used to have the wording quoted below (still viewable in the Google search preview) but as noted in http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-demotes-icloud-photo-library-beta/, it has been delayed
    Every photo, every edit, every album now lives in your iCloud Photo Library, easily viewable and consistent on all your iOS devices. Automatically.

  • Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

    Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
    How should I go about fixing this problem?
    It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

    HI Chris,
    my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles.  I read also it could be a broken socket causing it.  Do you know about this?  How does one break a socket and how would I repair that?  The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it.  Replace it?  Really?  It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it.  Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in.  I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

  • [Zen Vision:M] videos only playing first 8 seco

    I just got my Z Vision:M today, when I try to play videos that I transfered to the player, the videos only play the first 8 seconds. I updated to the newest version of the firmware and am still getting this problem. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Since you have had the player for a few years you may need to replace the battery. Also having it sit for a looong time without charging it does not help keep the battery in shape.http://www.batteryuni'versity.com/parttwo-34.htm Slipping the tip of a safety pin into the reset hole while the adapter is attached (difficult but doable). Does the charging icon show it as charging while connected? BTW 3 hours is not enough time to charge when it has sat dead for a while.. If it shows that it is charging power it down & leave it til the blue light by the power switch stops pulsing & the charging icon stops blinking.
