My video playback, in separate window, has no volume or jog functionality

I can not use the progress jog bar, as well as the volume bar, when viewing videos in a separate window via iTunes. If i click on either of them it will simply pause the video and not slide.
To adjust the volume or skip forward or back I have to open the iTunes main window and do it form there. I can use the keyboard shortcuts but I prefer to use the separate window to control playback and volume.
Running current version of iTunes (64bit) on Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) which was freshly installed this past week. Was also having this issue with the RC and RTM version of Windows 7 I was running prior. Seems to have broke with a recent software update to iTunes as I did not have this issue before. I have dealt with this issues for some weeks now and just see no reason to it to keep happening.
Any help?

Never mind. It's because I had audio and video going through HDMI through the Thunderbolt port. As soon as I shut off my Amp, the separate windows appeared again. Very strange.

Video playback in separate window

I used to have Video playback in iTunes to play in a seperate window. the 10.4 update seems to have reset this to play in main iTunes window.
I can't see the option/proference for altering it back.
Has this feature been removed from iTunes?

Thanks Jim - yes, that's sorted it.
View options does seem a logical place, but altering what was a previous preference is a bit odd.
Thanks for your help

Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

My mac is working fine. No noticeable problems. Then went onto netflix everything was working apart from the watching of the film and it popped up
"Video Playback Error Your device has a hardware issue, which is preventing Premium Video Playback. Contact Apple Support for more information. Error Code: S7363-1261-FFFFD000".
Not sure what is wrong but would appreciate any help

Audio playback is clipped and has low volume

Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me debug my audio problems.
The problem is that audio playback is clipped and has low volume.
The details of my setup are as follows:
- An onboard soundcard (ASUS M4A78LT-M-LE motherboard), identified as Intel HDA in dmesg:
description: Audio device
product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
physical id: 14.2
bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=64
resources: irq:16 memory:f9ff4000-f9ff7fff
- ALSA (snd_hda_intel driver) and Pulseaudio
My ALSA mixer settings (which were used in the recording shown in this post) are at pastebin.
The mixer settings were chosen so that all "dB gain" is 0.00 for all columns in alsamixer.
Recording an MP3 (played at full volume) from the Stereo Mixer source in audacity I gives output which looks clipped and has low volume (link).
This occurs with any MP3 and any other sound source (Youtube in Chromium, etc.)
The problem does not occur when I boot into Windows XP, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
I'm also attaching a screenshot of my alsamixer playback screen for the soundcard (link)
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi,
I have the same problem since December 2011 with a similar Mainboard (Asus M4A78T-E).
Did you resolve your problem?
Thanks

Audio and video playback latency ,since windows 10 help please

hi everyone I'm having a problem with my laptop ,video playback is lagging and sound to , sometimes making robotic sounds, and it all started when I upgraded to windows 10.my laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad x220 intel core i7 2.7 GHz processor 8 GB of ram previously had windows 7 pro now windows 10 proI tried resetting my computer , you know to have it clean and fresh, I thought this might help , maybe some old programs from windows 7 were causing this problem , but it didn't help , I also tried disabling and enabling the drivers from the device manager , is a trick I found on youtube , but it didn't work , I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advices .

Can you try disabling the Ethernet adapter in Device Manager?

Video playback slowdown (on window focus shift)

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini 1.42GHz 512mb RAM 80GB machine that I've been using for light OS X 10.4.7 usage. I've noticed that when a Safari window playing a video (Quicktime plugin or Adobe Flash 9.0) loses focus, that means when I change to another window, the video playback becomes very choppy to the point of being unable to watch it. I've noticed this tendency in DVD Player as well. I was wondering if someone could tell how I could turn off this. It's a real bugger because I multitask quite a bit and would like to hear videos play smoothly (the audio chops too) while it is out of focus.
I'm a Windows user by default so I really don't know if this is proscribed behavior for OS X to facilitate higher process responsiveness while in focus. I've done a couple of searches regarding the issue and haven't found anything. Hope I'm not treading well worn paths
Bonus question:
I've noticed DVD Player playback quality is atrocious with any dvds I've played on it, I haven't seen any major complaints regarding the Mini's playback quality so I was wondering if someone had any pointers? The quality level is about that of any regular mpeg2 video without any postprocessing attached, it looks very crude. I've had this 'issue' since Panther. Is this a problem related to ATI's 32mb graphics core or...?
Thanks in advance.
Mac Mini 1.42GHz PPC (512mb, 80GB, 10.4.7) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The video slowdown in the Flash player is a built in "feature" (I actually think it is a feature, but your milage may vary!) of Safari.
I actually recently read something about this, but I'm not sure I'll get it all exactly correct. And of course I can't remember where I saw it. But the long-short of it seems to be that Flash doesn't have its own clock. It relies on the hosting platform to feed it its time cues. Different browser manage this differently, but Safari is evidently designed to drop Flash (and probably other things) to about 4 frames per second when the window doesn't have focus.
There seemed to be a similar limitation within Firefox as well. The discussion I read was asking some Flash plug-in developer if they could bypass these controls. The developer pointed out that (especially in the Firefox case) that was a community decision as a way to limit folks from having the dreaded "Death of Five thousand little Flash banners."
So even with a more powerful computer I don't think you will be able to get around this issue. Maybe I'm wrong.
As for the DVDs issue all I can say is that with a Mini you probably won't be able to watch DVDs and do other stuff.

I may have a solution for choppy video playback for iTunes Windows users

My setup:
- Intel NUC (i5)
- 8gb memory
- Intel 5000 Graphics with 1GB memory (share of system memeory)
- iTunes 12
- iTunes library on NAS via GigaLan
Had problems with very choppy and freezing HD video playback in iTunes and tried everything... Every other player works fine.
1. downgrade audio playback
2. played with Quicktime settings
However, I think I might have a workaround. You need to do the following,
1. Install Quicktime 7
2. Install iTunes
3. Download ffdshow (Sep 2014 version) and install the codecs: pretty much leaving all do default
4. Set audio quality in Sound and Quicktime options in control panel, and iTunes to 16bit 48k
5. In advanced options of Quicktime in control panel, deselect "Direct 3D" & "Enable directdraw on seondary display", ONLY tick "enable directdraw accerleration"
Well, at least this works for me for now.
HOWEVER!!!
@Apple! You need to address this issue once for all, I can't believe there is no solution. As a paying customer who buy quite a few of your movies in iTunes, I expect to have a harssell free experience. Consumers should NOT have to go through all these troubles trying to fix a product you have released and making billions out of.
Reason why I switched from Android to Apple for my phones and tablets is becasue of the seamless user experience, regretfully I have to admit, this advantage is quickly going away. The amount of glitches in your recent ios updates and itunes are simply unacceptable.

Downloading videos on 7.0.2 hasn't worked as well as everyone had hoped. I still can't get mine to work, but i do know a few people who haven't had trouble with the newer itunes.

MP4 Video Playback in PSE8 & Windows 7 Without Quicktime

I have several MP4 videos that play fine natively in Windows 7 with Windows Media Player (no codecs have to be installed/downloaded). However, PSE8 tells me I have to install Quicktime to play these files and generate thumbnails. Is there any way to tell PSE8 to use Windows Media Player or the built-in codecs for this?

Yeah, hard to believe, but Adobe technical support has gotten even worse in the last six months. It got so bad after they outsourced/offshored it that an Adobe VP published an open letter to customers in August that was published across the Adobe site. It's no longer available at Adobe.com, but you can read it here:
http://www.macworld.co.uk/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=806&blogid=12
I've seen no evidence that things have gotten better, and some evidence that it's gotten worse. The support for PSE prefaces each reply with "sorry for the delay, we're overwhelmed", and they acquired a bad habit of arbitrarily marking cases as withdrawn (something only the customer should do), preventing customers from replying and preventing an email notification from being sent to the customers.

I can't play Netflix movies on my MacBook Pro. I keep getting this message: "Video Playback Error Your device has a hardware issue, which is preventing Premium Video Playback. Contact Apple Support for more information." Any good ideas? Thanks!

Can't stream movies on Netflix.

I have the same problem and I tried installing and unistalling Silverlight from my system but did not work. I had a chat with someone on Netflix and he told me that this is a Silverlight problem an Mac and the browser who use it, he refer me to use Google Chrome instead because don't need Silverlight and it worked. Now for Netflix on my Macbook I'll use Chrome.

Jerky video when window has focus

I am new to the Mac world and everything is good except for jerky video playback.
When watching video I find that if the window playing the video has focus then the video is jerky but if another window has focus the video playback in the window with the video is smooth. This is certainly the case for watching Youtube (safari or firefox) and iTunes video clips.
Do others have this problem

I tried what you are describing and observed no fuzziness of the video. I had two applications open at the time and switched from one to the other. It just might be the video.

Watching video is separate window

Is there anyway when you are watching a music video in a separate window that you can kept it on always on top?
Cheers
Rich

Rich,
Try iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick the radio button "Play Videos" and choose "in a separate window" from the drop down menu. In Preferences>Advanced>General there is a "keep mini player on top of all other windows" radio button. It may or may not do what you want but it was the only reference I could find, try it and see.

Enhanced podcast in separate window?

I have made a enhanced audio podcast, and the chapter/images show up fine in the iTunes main window. However, if I click the small image to pull up a larger image, the larger image does not update as the podcast continues to play.
In other words, for VideoCasts you can play the video in a separate window fine, but you cannot do something similar for enhanced podcasts.
I have seen similar posts on this forum, but I have not seen any answers yet.
Any news on this issue? Is this the only behavior for iTunes, or can I change iTunes to update the larger window? Is my enhance podcast screwed up somehow and that is causing the problem?

S.M.--
You're right about the current behavior of the player when it comes to viewing enhanced podcast artwork. If you want to make sure that an expanded player window can handle multiple images, stick to video (for now).

Video Playback Option in "Preferences/Audio-Video Out"

The following did not make it into the User Guide, though it did get into the troubleshooting docs:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/332121.html
332121 Video Playback option in Audio/Video Out preferences (Encore DVD)
A new option was added to the Preferences menu of version 2.0 of Adobe Encore DVD. When you select Edit > Preferences > Audio/Video Out, you see an Automatic option in the Video Playback section. This option is selected by default, allowing Encore DVD 2.0 to play video in a Standard Direct3D mode. If the feature is not selected, then video playback will be in GDI mode.
The only reason to deselect this option is in the case of poor preview playback or black video. In order for the change in preference to take effect, you must close the Monitor panel and then reopen it.
Background information
Encore DVD 2.0 (unlike previous versions of Encore DVD) uses the Premiere Pro playback engine for video playback. Premiere Pro has three Desktop Display modes: Compatible, Standard, and Accelerated GPU Effects. In Compatible mode, video is played using the GDI. In Standard mode, video is played using Direct 3D. In Accelerated mode, video is played using Direct 3D with GPU.
The default setting for Encore DVD 2.0 is comparable to Premiere Pro's Standard mode (Direct 3D). When the Automatic option is deselected, it is comparable to Premiere Pro's Compatible mode (GDI).
If Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 detects a Direct 3D error when previewing in Standard mode, it switches to Compatible mode. Encore DVD 2.0 does not have this capability, nor does it provide the same option in the User Interface for the user to switch between the three display modes. This is why the Automatic option was included in the Audio/Video Out preferences.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Sounds like you've been shooting at p ("progressive") frame rate (..24p or similar).
iMovie can't handle that (..except for JVC's 720p footage..) and it thinks that each frame is a "field" (..half a frame). It therefore plays those frames at double speed, thinking that there should be two 'fields' to a single frame.
Did you shoot at a "p" frame-rate..? If so, you'll need to convert the material, with some other program, so that iMovie can handle it.
I can't remember offhand what software might do this, but if you were shooting in HDV hi-def (which is recorded in the camera using the MPEG-2 video system) you may be able to use MPEG Streamclip (click on that blue link) to "unscramble" your material.
