Only plays a fraction of the video

when i play a random video in quicktime pro, sometimes it will only play a fraction of the movie, but the progress bar goes all the way to the right like it has finished the movie. then sometimes, if i click back to the left in the progress bar, the movie will restart where it left off at the end. very confusing i know, but does anyone recognize this problem?

Broken time stamps in your .mpg files.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can fix them.

How do you get passwords to stay valid?? Why do videos from Facebook and mail only play in 1/2 the screen?? I have been forced to Apple by my boss. Before, I had a "dumb" phone (talk, text, pics only) i can't seem to find a users guide that answers my questions. I don't know what category this falls in. Is there an"I-phone For Dummies" book/site?

Didn't you look?
iphone for dummies
And there's always the manual of course.

I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
Some things to consider…
DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

How do I dispute a copyright claim against a video i made using a trailer in iMovie? The only content I used was the video I shot of friends daughter on a merry-go-round.IMovie had the music etc that I used.

How do I dispute a copyright claim against a video i made using a trailer in iMovie? The only content I used was the video I shot of friends daughter on a merry-go-round.IMovie had the music etc that I used. Here's the message It gives a number of options to choose from if I want to dispute the claim but I don't know which one this would come under. Several obviously don't apply and of the ones left I don't know which content that is in IMovie that I use comes under. "This video is my original content and I own the rights to it" "I have a license or written permission of the property rights holder to use this material" "My use of the content meets the legal requirements for fair use of fair dealing under applicable copyright laws" or "The content is in the public domain or is not eligible for copright protection."

You want to use the "I have a license..." option, since clearly the music is not yours, but Apple has granted you a license.
For your license, see this document, section 2.M. http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iMovie.pdf
For more on this irritating problem and why it is so hard to solve, see this article. (It is a problem for Final Cut Pro users as well.)

I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Am I able to get a refund with the movie I rented because the movie download was complete but only played 1/4 of the movie and wouldn't play the rest?

iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) should either grant you a re-download or credit you if it didn't play in its entirety - try the 'report a problem' page to contact them : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

I rented a movie on iTunes and it will only play 23 mins of the movie. The screen freezes. Ant suggestions?

Quick time only plays 3 secs of my video

i downloaded a video and quickime only plays 3 sec of it

I too have video non-play problems ALL the time with video downloads. Sound is fine. The video starts and stops, but the sound continues on fine.
I'm wondering if it's a codec thing as I can download these non working .avi files to my Treo 650 palm phone and they play without problem.

I just updated my Firefox, and now whenever I use Youtube, I only see black screens where the video should be, but I can still hear the sounds; what gives?

The Youtube pages load as normal, but as stated above, the player contains only a black screen, and the progress bar moves as usual when playing the clip, but I can only hear, and not see, the actual video.
Firefox version: 3.6.14
Windows Vista

Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response.

Only plays a fraction of the video
