Multiclip edit won't play in 9 up viewer

So I have 9 cameras that shot a music video. I create the multiclip, drop it in the timeline and set the viewer to 9 up view. It plays for about 15 seconds, then drops frames and stops. I've tried the basic stuff, turning off unlimited RT (to safe RT), making sure no other projects or sequences are open. Video is on a 500G internal SATA with about 240G free (not my boot drive). Set layout to "Standard View" on one monitor to make sure no windows were overlapping. It's about a 9 minute segment. I have a G5 Quad with 4.5G of RAM. Am I just pushing the limits of the machine or do I need to keep looking?
I have noticed that if I switch to the 4 up view, it plays perfectly. If I create an 8 clip multiclip, it plays perfectly in the 9 up view. It doesn't matter which clip I drop out to create the 8 clip version. I even opened up a couple other sequences, ran photoshop and a few other programs in the background, and the 8 clip sequence ran fine. I did import audio with 8 of the clips, one does not have it. I only need one version of that if anyone thinks reimporting most of the clips without audio will help. Video is DV-NTSC, sequence settings match. I realize I can edit an 8 clip version them add camera 9 as layer 2 after everything else is done and just cut out most of that video, but I hate it when things don't work the way they would in my perfect world.
Thanks

Take a look at Cal Digit's eSATA arrays... not too expensive, and first class indeed... Your Quad has extra bays in it too I think right? That's the least expesive way to create the raid... just add another drive which is the same capacity as the one you're using now, then use disk utility to create the RAID 0 with it and your current drive. I'd even match the model number of the drive ... it's snap to do.

Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message:
"a problem occurred when trying to render page"
Can anyone help?

If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

Imports from iMovie 4.0.1 won't play in FCP HD viewer

I used iMovie to capture lengthy DV clips from a Sony DCR-HC65. Tapes were recorded on Sony HC26 and Panasonic ?? and imported to FCP for editing.
I find the video will stall but the audio continues as I review them in the FCP
viewer. Stall points are not consistent. Tried to work around and edit anyway but FCP stalls forcing quit.
Capture seemed to go well and created clips a timecode breaks and auto at
9:28 segments.
I have not experienced this before.
I recently added a 500GB hdd to my G5. Also have a Lacie 230GB firewire external that works fine all be it slower.
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

After you capture long clips with many shots in FCP, select them in the browser, then select "DV Start/Stop detect" in the Mark menu. This puts a marker at each place you started or stopped the camera. To see them, click on the disclosure triangle which will appear next to them in the Browser.... double click one of them, and then the Viewer will display only the material from that marker to the next.
You can drag these markers from the Browser to a bin and create subclips from them too.

Video in iMovie won't play.

I have edited an entire almost 45 minute long iMovie, but when I play it, certain videos I added and edited won't play, and the screen will stay on the picture that was shown before the video. How do I fix this?

I too have this problem, includes when i add cutaways - the original video freezes and the cutaway never comes up.

While in imovie, when working on a project, I can NOT view the project in the right hand screen. I have made several videos and it has always worked before. I am not able to edit the videos because they won't play in the right hand screen.

The videos that I import (and are located on the bottom of imovie) will show up and play on the right hand screen. But if I move that clip to the actually project area it won't play in the right hand side! I somehow must have clicked something that now won't play the project videos and now plays the clips below instead! Help please I need to fix this! Everythign else works, I can still edit videos, add transitions, music, etc I just can't see it on the right hand side- so I can't edit because I can't see

See my post here on how to do this.

Multiclip editing not cutting, Markers dissappear when stop playing

Im doing a multiclip edit for the first time and im having issues!
I have the 3 angles i need set up and sync in a multiclip and can get it playing fine ie viewer has the 3 angles playing at once and select angle is showing in the canvas. I play the clip and begin to add cut points (by clicking on angle when i want to change to it) a marker appears in the timeline as it should but when i stop playing all the markers disappear and im back to square-one again!!!!
As far as i can tell the setting are correct, i have the viewer set to open and multiclip playback enabled and all looks great it just wont insert the cut points!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I'm no longer using 5.x, but I remember some odd bug with multiclips doing only a Switch to (instead of a Cut to) which results in the behavior you're mentioning: the markers disappearing as soon as you stop playback. I believe the issue was either related to being in a customized, but unsaved custom keyboard layout.
I guess what I'm saying is: does going to Tools > Keyboard Layout and selecting either layout (Default or Multiclip) affect the issue?

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

IMovie 9 - Video is edited, shows the project clips, but won't play at all? Please Help

So i've finished all the editing on my project, But now it won't play. The clips show on the project reel (left side) but doesn't show the video in the viewer on the right side. Space bar just sent the red tracking bar back to the beginning but won't play. Hitting the play button makes nothing happen, and playing full screen doesn't play the video either.

Match on Macbook won't play songs on hard drive???

Been browsing this discussion group for a while and can't find a similar case... Here is the setup:
My ripped songs, some mp3, some AAC, are on my macbook's hard drive. They have been matched in iTunes Match. When I try to play many of the songs, they won't play. I even tried to go to the file itself in Finder and "preview" using the spacebar and they don't play. I tried to get as much info in this screen grab to provide information...
If this image is too small, it is also here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1l36tgu3omqacot/screenshot.png
In this example, I try to play the song entitled "Word Problems." Initially I get the "thinking beachball" and then it starts to play the bottom song "I Remember." Same thing happens with all the other songs by this artist. Somehow it doesn't recognize the songs or something. I brought up the "info" box for the "Word Problems" song to show that iTunes knows where the song is (on my hard drive) and doesn't have to get it from the cloud. I also enable the "iCloud Status" column to show that the status on all songs is either "Matched" or "Uploaded." Also, the iCloud status "cloud" in the top left for Music looks like it is good to go (even though at this point the Movies and TV shows status icons are animated which I believe means they are trying to contact the server).
Based on other problems I have seen in this discussion group, I have de-authorized and then re-authorized my macbook and I have also turned off iTunes Match and then turned it back on again. Neither of these fixed the problem...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciate

Video won't Play

For some reason my footage in FCP 6 won't play properly. I am using the new 24inch imac. I am editing a full feature film. I made a first cut of the film in one sequence that came out to about an hour long, and named it First Cut. I played the one hour sequence and had no problems with it. It didn't even seem to be dropping any frames. Last Sunday I captured some additional footage in a bin that I named October 4th. The new footage was running fine from the bin. I even made two new short sequences from that footage and kept it stored in the October 4th Bin later intending to cut it into the Master First Cut sequence (haven't done that yet though). Then yesterday when I opened up final cut pro, I noticed that all of the footage in the October 4th bin was reported as media offline. This was very strange cause I never moved any of the files around, and I searched my entire hard drive and it was nonexistant (not a big problem cause I could recapture it). I opened up some older bins to check that the rest of my footage was still intact and running, which it was. I then opened up the First Cut Sequence, hit play, and noticed that even though the scroll bar was rolling, there was no audio or video. I then went to check other older footage and noticed that no files at all from any project would play in the viewer or canvas. Scroll bar would move, but no sound or video. So I closed all projects and restarted final cut, and all of the old footage was running perfectly again. But then when I opened up the First cut sequence and hit play, I noticed that this file was playing without video or audio again, and this time it was also reporting that it was dropping frames. I then went to open up other projects to check on them, and again every other project in final cut wouldn't display video or audio even though the scroll bar was rolling. Basically every time I close all of the projects and restart final cut, everything works fine. But as soon as I open up First Cut and try to play it, every file in all bins or projects stops working properly. This problem started the same time that I found that the October 4th files went offline and disapeared nowhere to be found. I tried trashing the preferences, but it didn't solve the problem. I am wondering if I should reinstall final cut. But if the problem is some corrupted file either from the offline October 4th files or the First Cut sequence, then I am worried that the problem might arise again after the installation. Or is it possible that the First Cut sequence was so big that every time I open it is is confusing the entire program (even though this sequence had no problems in the past and those October 4th went offline for no logical reason).
Sorry for the awfully long message. If anyone has got any ideas or has had a similar experience I would really appreciate the feedback.

Imported Songs Won't Play in iTunes, but will on iPod

I recently imported many songs from a hard drive into my iTunes library. I then updated my iPod with these additions. The songs play on my iPod but will not play in iTunes, or allow me to create a playlist containing these songs. I get a message saying that "the song _______ could not be used because the original file could not be found."
When I reconnect the hard drive, the songs play, but when it is disconnected, they won't. I tried to "authorize computer", but that didn't do anything.
Any suggestions for how to fix this issue?
Thanks.

Are you saying you have music on an external drive and it won't play if the drive is not plugged in?
You are not very clear with your question, but I wonder if you tried to add them to your library on your internal drive. If so take a look at:
Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
Is "Copy files to Itunes Music folder when adding to library" checked? If not the songs would be left on the external drive.
If this is the case, you could plug in your external drive and then consolidate your library. This will copy ALL files not in your iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder.
If you intentionally keep some of your music outside the iTunes Music folder you may want to think about the implications before using Consolidate.

DVD drive won't play

Edit: Apparently it's not possible to list the maker of my DVD drive without being bleeped. I have edited the subject title.
I have a Satellite A105-S4274 with a Mat**bleep**a DVD-RAM UJ-841S ATA drive. I've never used it for burning any media, only watching the occasional DVD. But now it won't play any DVD, nor will it play any music CDs. I've also tried using it to read CDs and DVDs I've burned on my desktop PC, but the drive won't read them, either.
The DVD drive is recognized in the Vista device manager, which says it's working properly. It also shows up on Windows Explorer. However, when I put a disk in the drive, the light on the drive flashes as normal, but then stays on and nothing happens. When I use Windows Explorer to attempt to look at what's on the disk, it shows nothing.
Is there any way to fix this problem? If not, what drive will work as a replacement?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like a drive failure. Replacement drives are problematic since Toshiba doesn't publish a list of compatible drives and it can be tricky getting a replacement. There have been cases where even the identical make and model drive fails to work because of firmware differences. The easiest, but not the cheapest solution would be to buy a replacement from a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider. Those usually run around $400. You can also use Google and search the net for info. www.sparepartswarehouse.com sells all manner of laptop parts and would be a good place to start.

DVD Player won't play some DVDs

My DVD Player won't play certain DVDs. Presumably all commercial DVDs should be playable in the software. Fox discs are a problem. I can get Player to turn on, but after the menu, the screen flashes a reading error, from which it could not recover. Yesterday I tried to play a Paramount disc, and nothing happened. The computer didn't even acknowledge that there was a disc in the tray. A Wolfe Video wouldn't read at first (I got a dialogue box that the disc was blank) but I put it in again and that time it played.
Also, on a side note, I would like future editions of DVD Player to add the feature of allowing the viewer the ability to go backwards a frame at a time, as well as forwards.

Hi, Doug.
This is starting to sound like a different problem. Your original report seemed to apply only to specific DVDs. Now it's with all DVDs. Before we get into how to reinstall DVD player, let's try a few other things that are more likely troublemakers with DVD Player.
1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. Reset DVD Player. Peform all of the following steps before attempting to launch DVD Player again:2.1. Trash the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. This file is the preferences file for DVD Player.
2.2. Using Get Info, make sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write on the following folders on your account:• Home > Library > Application Support.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings.If not, correct the permissions accordingly using the Owner and Access pop-up menus in the Details sub-panel of the Ownership & Permissions panel of the folders' Get Info windows.
2.3. Trash the contents of your Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings folder.3. If none of the above sorts it out, let's see what Console can tell us: After the problem occurs, make note of the time, then immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues that may have been logged when the problem occurred.
4. Note that none of the above rules out the possibility that your optical drive has become defective.4.1. Can you burn DVDs, e.g. even data DVDs from Finder?
4.2. See if the freeware VLC Media Player (nee VideoLan Client) can play the DVDs.Good luck!
