Playing MPEG video problem

I have this problem when I tried to play MPEG video.
I imported a 10 Mb MPEG video to director cast, it used
QuickTime to play.
But the video itself plays little slow at first (the sound
was playing smoothly). It's like the video was buffering while
playing itself at the same time. After a few seconds, the video
plays normally.
My video is 320 x 240 size, running on 24 fps.
My project is 640 x 480 size, tempo 30.
I've updated my QuickTime player to the latest version.
Yes, I did safe video preloading. I placed the video 5 frames
before it is needed to play.
I checked the following settings :
Video, Audio, Paused, DTS, Streaming.
and the Playback is set to Sync to Sound.
I tried opening the MPEG with windows media player, and it
plays smoothly.
But the same problem occured when I tried to play the video
on director stage and director Video: QuickTime preview.
I wonder what was wrong.
Please help.

YES

that xtra worked.
so there's no other way to play MPEG video without purchasing
any xtra?

  • HT3775 So,  How do I get a MacBook Pro to play mpeg video?  I don't need answers detailing what it won't play.  I know it won't play everything I've tried.  Can anyone tell me what Apple software is necessary to play files?

    I've given up, time and time again on trying to play various video's whether from an online community or via CD/DVD file.  Searches offer countless non-Apple software solutions that all have inconsistent functionality.  Is there an Apple product that will actually work?  I have this problem with all my Apple Mac products, even the newest iMac which according to the salesman would work "no problem".  Friends indicate they have never experienced this problem, but based on all the returns on internet searches I suspect I'm not the only one.
    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do. 
    Anyone?
    thanks,

    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • MPEG Video Problem

    Hi, I used Handbrake as per the previous instructions and managed to successfully "rip" one of my DVDs in MPEG-4 video format. I then used add file to put it into iTunes. However, when i try to update my iPod I get an error message:
    Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "..." were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.
    I have a 30GB Video iPod. I have a bunch of the Pixar stuff that seems to be in the same format, why won't this work???

    There are a number of possibilities here. For instance, it is possible you may have faild to enter a proper setting. For instance, many people fail to switch the default "Main" profile to "Baseline" when using the H.264 encoder or use an MPEG4 video data rate on an H.264 encode or simply trying to improve output by "crowding" the maximum data rata settings. Even if you correctly enter all settings, the actual movie content can sometimes "trick" the encoder into momentarily exceeding the iPod player limits. If you are using the 2-pass mode in this case, simply switching to a 1-pass mode may take care of the problem.
    The best approach is usually to "test" your settings on a single chapter of the movie. If the test clip syncs to the iPod, then you know your settings are basically correct and that even if there is a later problem with the whole movie, this problem is merely a matter of making a "fine" adjustment.

  • How to play MPEG 4 (h.264 / AVC) videos that were encoded for the PSP

    Hello,
    I am trying to play a video in MPEG 4 (h.264 / AVC) format (file extension .mp4) that was encoded to play on the Sony PlayStationPortable (480x272) via QuickTime. The video plays perfectly via VideoLAN, mplayer or the PSP, but QuickTime only opens a black screen without any error message.
    I am using the most current version of QuickTime on WindowsXP or Windows Vista. I have the same problem on either system.
    Can anybody tell me how to resolve that problem? I do not want to reencode the videos, though.

    QuickTimeKirk,
    My goal is to create a looping animation for playback on an iPod. Should be easy right? Not with the QT!
    I did the following:
    1) Render a bunch of frames destined for looping.
    2) Convert them to an uncompresses ".avi" file.
    3) Open the ".avi" file in QT Pro.
    4) Click "Loop"
    5) Play movie. It loops nicely.
    6) Click "Export" and select "Movie to QuickTime Movie"
    7) Click "Save"
    When I play the saved ".mov" file (You said QT retains the metadate requiring looping) IT DOES NOT LOOP!
    To recap: This is a Quicktime movie. I selected looping when I created the bloody thing.
    It
    does
    not
    loop.
    This *****.
    This is REALLY, REALLY, ANNOYING! *** is going on with this QT Pro crap? I simply want to loop the movie. Is that really asking too much? I don't think so.
    Can someone, anyone, please, please, tell me how to force the movie to loop on launch. Forcing an iPod user to muck about and select looping (can they even do that?) is not an option. Period.
    Please help me,
    Doug

  • Problem with playing HD videos

    Hello,
    My problem is with playing HD videos ( 720p or Full HD).
    After upgrading Windows on my laptop and installing drivers, everything was fine till i tried to solve the win 8.1 problem with display drivers and inability to change the level of brightness. After that I discovered that the laptop can't play videos in higher res when they are offline (they become choppy and start to lag behind audio), so i figured the problem is in codecs or the player because any video was playing online. I have tried different codec packs like K lite or FFdshow, tried many players also like VLC, Sm, BS, WM Classic...nothing helped. So  i deleted all those players and codecs so now i cant play HD videos online either.
    Also i have noticed that when i start any hd video CPU usage goes up to 95%.
    Any suggestions what should i do next ?

    Hi there @milosevarsen 
    I understand that you are having performance issues when watching videos. I am happy to help. Since your CPU usage is climbing to 95%, that is a part or symptom of the problem. 
    Work through this page. The main thing is to make sure you control what is running on your system and the amount of available memory. So you will want to look for  viruses and malware, and then what other applications are loaded on your system. Over time these tend to accumulate, and slow down your computer.
    Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8)
    The other option would be to look at possibly upgrading your memory. When a file is much larger than the available memory, you are going to see the CPU running harder.
    I hope this helps.

  • When i play a video or movie i get a buzzing sound from the speakers. how do i solve this problem?

    I get this  buzzing sound from my speakers when I play a video, or movie either from the internet or playing a DVD. What can I do to solve this problem

    A: There is no such thing as an unlocked iPhone 3Gs in the United States. ALL iPhone 3Gs's sold in the US are locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones, therefore it is not legitimately unlocked.
    B: Sprint is a CDMA network as others have mentioned. They do NOT use SIM cards. The iPhone 3Gs will NEVER work on Sprint. Ever. It's not physically possible.
    Either your Uncle misunderstood or he was mislead. Send it back and tell him to get his money back. Buy an iPhone in India from a supported carrier.

    You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

  • Problems playing itunes videos continuosly in Full Screen

    Hi guys,
    I have a small problem. I started to buy Videos in itunes music store and building my own MTV. So far, so good. My problem started when I started to buy some DVDs, converting the videos to MP4 format and then adding them to my itunes library. I have kept the same resolution than the original itunes videos, but I have changed the frame rate to have a little bit more quality.
    When I select a video, iTunes plays it in full screen (as it is selected in the preferences). If the second video is another original iTunes, it continues in full screen. But as soon as one of the non iTunes videos starts, it goes to the main window and plays the video in the small section at the bottom-left of the screen (selected as "Now Playing"). Then, the next video goes back to full screen, even if it is a non-itunes one. It is very anoying since I have to put it back in Full screen manually.
    Does anybody have the same issue? I am using the last release and patch level of Mac OS and itunes. I think that it might be related with the way that I imported the videos (using Handbrake 7). May be I need to use exactly the same format that Apple uses in itunes. Does anybody knows the exact video format that Apples uses? Do you think that it may be related with issue?
    One last point. I have experienced the same problem in two different Macs. One Power PC and one Intel... I have already given up...
    Thanks in advance for your help,

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
    I too was experiencing non-full screen playback between music videos / movies. I discovered that this only happened if I had en EQUALIZER setting for the music video / movie. Once I had NONE as the EQUALIZER setting my music videos / movies all played back full screen from one to the next.
    Change your settings in the equalizer column as suggested and see if this works for you. It solved my problem, although I do not have my desired equalizer settings in operation!

  • How do I play MPEG-2 video files on my iPod Classic 80 gig?

    Will it play MPEG-2 files taken on my Sony HDD video camera? each time I try and import them or drag and drop them in to iTunes nothing happens. Do I need to convert them to MPEG-4 format and if so how do I do this? What software is needed and where can I get it?
    Cheers

    If you have Quicktime Pro, you should be able to open the video files, then Export to Ipod. Quicktime has automatic settings that will convert the audio/video to match the file types of ipods. Once done with each file, just drag them into iTunes, they will get copies to specific folders as necessary, and you can sync them to your ipod.

    Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
