Mpg movies stops every 7 seconds

Recently, every time I try to play an mpg movie on QuickTime, the movie stops every 7 seconds approx.
This started not long ago, and before that, all mpg movies played perfectly. I'm not aware of having made any changes in the QuickTime preferences or any other QuickTime feature. Is this a problem of the player or of the movies I have?
I already re-installed QuickTime, but the problem is still there.
macmini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to repair the broken time
code in the .mpg file.
Ok guys, thanks. The files didn't seem to have any broken timecode, so the app didn't make any changes to the files, but I exported the video to QuickTime and that solved the problem -although it took forever-.
Is there any faster way to do it? Anyway, it helped a lot to know about the Streamclip app. Thank you again.

When I play either music or movies on my ipod touch it stops every few seconds and I have to restart the song/film. AT the same time, it won't hold a volume contol. It jumps louder or softer, or simply jams on either very low or maximum volume. Help

No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. does not happen with any other streaming video service.

my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. This does not happen with any other streaming video service. I have restarted and rebooted already.

I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

In the external Quick Time Player the clips stop every few seconds. What to do?

In the last weeks I cannot play YouTube clips in the browser but only in the external Quick Time Player. But the clips stop every few seconds. What to do?

If YouTube videos are buffering in you browser, then it sounds more like a problem with your Internet speed.
If you contact your Internet Service Provider, they should be more than happy to help.

Why does the movie stop every 5 minutes?

Movie stops every 5 minutes, despite excellent bandwidth and signal strength,

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

Why does the movie I bought off of iTunes stop every 5 seconds and then skip through the scenes it missed? ( I am playing the movie on an HP Compac )

Once the movie stops, the audio stops, but then after 5 seconds or so it will speed up to try to catch up with the rest of the movie. I bought the movie in HD for 14.99 and if it keeps acting up like this I am afraid it's going to crash my computer. Please, this is so frustrating

You are more lucky than me, mine will go about 8 seconds...audio stops but the song is still playing. I have to quit iTunes and occasionally I can get it to work normal for a while. Shuffle is broke, help is broke, iTunes needs a MAJOR update and QUICK!. I can't live without me musics.

Why do streaming movies pause every 3 seconds?

I just tried to watch a movie streamed to my PC from Netflix. The movie picture pauses about every 3 seconds then continues while the sound does not stop. I have a fast internet connection, cable. I watched something about a month ago without this problem.
Could the Netflix network be getting overrun?

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Movie freezing every 3 seconds as trying to watch

I am renting a movie and it freezes every few seconds

I have the same problem...
Months ago, when the version 2.0 software was released, I upgraded, because I was happy about Apple TV supporting AirTunes. But, the upgrade was a disaster in that the Apple TV became completely unusable.
Problem 1: Menus would stick forever, whenever displaying "My" content (i.e., my music, my movies), presumably because it was terribly inefficient at building the image slideshow thing to the left
Problem 2: During playback of a video file (again, in "My" stuff), it would just hang or stop completely at seemingly random times.
Anyway, I backtracked to version one of the software, because version 1 has always been rock solid for me.
So, the point is, the software is now on version 2.3, and I downloaded it, and lo and behold, those two problems still exist, which makes the Apple TV again completely useless for the one main thing I use it for...watching stuff from podcast downloads / DVD rips / my music, etc. Was there ever any fix for this?

Movie stops every 15 min

when I try watching the movie I have on my iPod touch it stops after like 15 mins. I have to restart and ff to where I was. The video will play again & then stop again.

Sorry - I hope my message didn't come off as sounding rude, not my intention.
I agree that it's maddening to have to purchase additional hardware to fix something that should work out of the box. I'm with you there - especially since every single other peripheral that I use on my onboard USB ports works great, leading me to believe that this is a iPod Touch issue, not an issue with my onboard USB ports.
But, this issue has been around since the Ipod touch was released, and so far, there has been no fix from Apple (over six months). In my case, spending $10 on a PCI USB card was well worth it. It took less than 5 minutes to install, and my iPod has worked flawlessly ever since. If you have read the other posts, and you have the same symptoms, then you might want to give it a try. By the way, I haven't read a single post from anyone where adding a secondary USB card didn't solve this problem.
Your last sentence sounds like you are getting very frustrated. I hope this all works out for you - let us know how it goes!

Why does it stop every few seconds for "buffering" when I try to watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report?!

The past couple of weeks whenever I try to watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report the screen freezes up every 2 or 3 seconds and the message "buffering" comes on. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

I can't get my purchases to download on to my PC or iPad. I left my PC on all night to download and either I get nothing or only a few minutes of the show. If I do get a few minutes loaded it stops every other second. How do I fix this?

I have purchased a TV series on iTunes and can't get it to download to either my pc or iPad. I have been trying for days. I have gotten about thirty minutes of one episode to download after leaving my computer up all night downloading. If I happen to get a few minutes downloaded it skips and then shuts down. Several times the message has come up that the episode is ready to play but it never will. I can fast forward and see the credits but can't play anything in between. It is very frustrating.
I have since read several reviews by iTunes customers that voice the same complaint, but I never have found anyone that gives a solution. If this is the way iTunes works then it looks like Netflix is in my immediate future!

I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing.

Itunes stops every 5 seconds

I have a new ipod photo. I have set up my library. my ipod itself works great, but when I try to play my music thru itunes, it constantly stops and starts. it really annoying. can anyone help?

John hello,
welcome to the Apple Discussions, if the the permissions are not set right or locked files are present... you will get skipping, stopping, and other faults.
Do this and see what happens afterwards... none of which will hurt it can only help.
Check that your HD is in order with 'Disk Utility' ...
Run repair HD from original Tiger DVD install disk...
insert disk and re-start holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning gear.
At installer level do not continue...
Use top menu and select 'Disk Utility' from Utilities ... select the HD volume with the Operating system on...
select 1st aid... select repair Hard Disk.
if errors are repaired run again until none are reported then verify your HD.
quit and return to the Finder Do not continue with the Installer...
Check the permissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
Use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
To set preferences using BatChmod is very easy...
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and priviledges'...'Unlock' & click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
You could also run the Mac OS X 'Combo' Update 10.4.2 to see if anything has been missed in the upgrade path.
come back and let's know how you get on after that John .... TP
