Problem with itunes video playback.

  • SEVERE, MAJOR Problems with ITunes Video Playback on 64-bit Win7

    So I got a new rig (ASUS G74SX running 64-bit Win7 Home Prem) after I figured my nearly 5-year old HP Pav dv9500t running 32-bit Vista Home Prem had put in good years of work.  In using ITunes on the Vista system, I never really saw problems with its player on video podcasts.
    Completely different story on the Win7 machine.  Aside from all the other problems noted with ITunes itself (not the player) in this forum, there is this:
    1. When something like UAC occurs, the video clip runs in the player, but the video is frozen (like a photographic still) while the audio continues to run on normally.  Workaround:  minimize then restore the player window, then the video part of playback returns.  Of course that gets annoying doing that multiple times after a while.
    2. With one video podcast (for example, The Young Turks podcasts), while the audio again continues normally, the video track lags unbelievably.  The video appears in slow motion.  The viewer risks a headache from vertigo if the viewer continues watching slow motion video unmatched with the normal audio.
    At first I considered the possiblity that it was related to a 5400 rpm hard disk drive, which came with the new machine and I would not have normally have not bought myself, but I had someone buying it for me (my HP system only had 7200 rpm drives...what is ASUS thinking in letting Best Buy do a performance markdown?).  Then I played that video podcast with VLC media player, and it absolutely had NO problem keeping up with the video and audio.  (Another thing to like and prefer with this player is that you can keep the window on top.)
    Seriously, the programming group at ITunes should be ashamed and maybe every member of its group should consider getting another day job.  With each revision, ITunes seems to get worse.

    My installation of version 10.6.x of ITunes does not have QuickTime.
    As of version 10.5 of ITunes, QuickTime is no longer apparently bundled with ITunes, which clearly has its own player.  In addition, I have used a minimal install of ITunes.  This eliminates the install of the bug-ridden Bonjour service, which was filling up Windows event logs needlessly and crashing from time to time anyway.
    Now although I installed ITunes only a few days ago in this new laptop, I did find ITunes in the Programs & Features page and clicked Repair.  After the "repair," I played the video revealing the flaws of the ITunes player, and the playback problems were still there.  I used the other media player and it played flawlessly.

  • Problems with Flash video playback

    I'm having a problem with Flash video playback, hoping
    someone here can help.
    I have several movies which I have converted to .flv using
    the Flash authoring tool. I have then created an .swf for each
    movie, embedding the .flv along with the playback component,
    playback controls, etc.
    I can open these .swfs using Flash Player and everything
    displays and plays as expected. However, when I embed the .swf into
    a web page and open it using a browser, the playback controls don't
    show up, and the movie will only play if it has been encoded to
    autoplay. I am on an Intel Mac, using the latest Flash Player
    plug-in, and am having this problem in both Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in
    Safari 2.0.4.
    I'm guessing that the problem lies in how I have encoded the
    .swfs into the web page? Hoping someone has a solution, or at least
    a good suggestion!
    thanks,
    - sounddevisor

    Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
    Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
    the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
    to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
    the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!

  • Problem with 5800 video playback

    I am having problems with high quality playback on my 5800. When I transfer videos using high quality encoding through the OVI suite or through an external converter, and play it back on the phone, it practically never plays smoothly. it suffers from frame skips and hanging of videos in the middle of playback while the audio still continues in the background. this also holds true for the videos that came with the phone. is there any way to smooth it out. I am presently downloading the firmware update but I don't think it will fix the issue since it was not mentioned in the update list.
    any help will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    I installed the new firmware and, as I expected, it hasn't solved the problem

  • Problem with iTunes Music Playback

    Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
    I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
    Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
    You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

  • Problem with iPod video playback

    I have a problem with some of my movies' playbacks on my Nano 5g. Though working perfectly fine on both my computer, and my iPod video, on my Nano some videos are slightly cut off on the right of the screen, I'm missing about 10% of the video due to the cut off. Though technically I should still be able to watch the movies fine, it niggles me and inhibits my full enjoyment of the videos. Is there any way I can crop or rescale the movie so it will fit properly on my screen? Thanks
    (I have already tried both wide screen and scale to screen size on the iPod)

    Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

  • Problems with itunes videos playing on NVidia Graphics/SATA controllers FIX

    Hi folks just wanted to let you know there is a hotfix for all you folks that have a Vista Computer that has Nvidia Graphics cards GEFORCE series, and Nvidia SATA Drive Controllers.... Go to this website and do al the hoit fixes listed there... http://www.nvidia.com/object/windowsvistahotfixes.html
    This will update the firmware for your graphics card and some vista incompatibility issues. Not all of the hotfixes may apply to your system however try downloading all four and it will tell you if it applies to your system or not after you try to install them. After that go to your Control panel and go to device manager and go to your storage card section.. Click on the Nvidia SATA controller device click on the driver section and click on update driver... this will bring up a screen that asks you to have the computer search for the correct driver "click it". It will search the internet for you and download the NEW SATA driver you will have to restart after downloading. THEN go back into the control panel again and make sure the driver is updated to 7/2007 if not reapeat the update driver part. It will then pull the information from your hard drive and the driver will be installed. It takes like 4 seconds to do this... then restart your system and all the problems have been fixed... this works with quicktime in itunes video problems as well as the kodak camera video problems.. I hope this helps it worked great for me..... Good Luck...

    I've experienced a similar problem with my mid-2010 MBP freezing when on battery power. I've traced the problem to gfxCardStatus switching the GPU to the Intel HD when there are still dependencies for the NVIDIA 330. I stopped using the application and seems to have solved the problem.
    I agree that the problem is prevelant on Lion and didn't occur in Snow Leopard. Your advice to turn off the AGS feature in Energy Saver is a smart one, at least until engineering at Apple resolves this problem, since both gfxCardStatus and AGS are doing the same graphics card switching without reference to actual need of the running apps.

  • Lenovo A536 problem with audio video playback.

    I've bought lenovo a536 smartphone 3days ago and I couldn't listen to music continuesly.
    The audio or video player is stop playing or pausing unexpectedly. It is only giving problem while using headset.
    Try to fix this critical bug.
    It just ruined the reputation of lenovo.
    Such a worst design ever with lots of bugs.

    I have more informations..
    First a iWire cable is a simple display port to Hdmi 1.4 cable (you can buy it from applestore and it support audio + video).
    SO, I installed windows 7 on bootcamp, and when I plug the iWire cable on my macbook pro while the home theater + videoprojector are ON, windows crash and restart...
    If I plug the iWire cable on the macbook but if only the home theater is ON and the videoprojector is OFF, then it works... The hometheater is recognized as a TV...
    What I don't understand is that my apple TV don't have problem with this config, nether my westerdigital tv.. It's only with a macbook.. display port should not be exactly same thing as a hdmi output maybe.. :/
    I think I will have to buy a longer hdmi cable to plug it on the vp, and a optical cable for the audo to my ht :/

  • Problem with purchased video playback and app stability

    Music videos I've purchased through the iTMS play for about 20 seconds then the audio stops, and about 5 seconds later the app crashes and returns me to the main menu or the phone reboots; this problem occurs only with a video I've purchased, as any other video or even podcast plays without a hitch. It's something I can recreate without problem, I just have to play a purchased video and it will crash the app.
    I've tried doing a regular reboot and even a full restore, neither of which fixes the problem.
    The applications in general seem stable for the most part, but sometimes I even have problems doing basic functions like browsing pictures in Photos, using Maps, or even typing up something in Notes.
    Do I have a lemon or the start of one? Is there a solution that I've overlooked? What should I do if this is just hardware failure? I really, really enjoy my phone for the majority of it and it's something that I'm always discussing with my friends and family. Thanks in advance for any answers.

  • How to solve w7 dpi problem with fullscreen video playback?

    when i use custom dpi size in W7 i get problems to playback videos on sites like GTA 5 Cheats . it doesn't hide the windows menu bar. why is that?

    You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

  • Problems with Itunes movie playback on x100e - very jerky CPU @ 100%

    Does anyone else have this problem?  I have power mgmt @ high performance, notebook is plugged in. Drivers updated and still jerky.  Is there a way to back down resolution without making the screen size smaller?
    Any other way to get movies to play nice?  I have a lenovo s10 that plays the same movies beautifully.
    I have 3GB mem and 7200rpm HD.
    I just got this thing and so far all I can say is it sucks.  I wish I could return.
    Thanks for any help.
    Rho

    Mine doesn't arrive for another week, so we'll see how that goes. Are you using the dual core model? Even if not, the ATI Mobility 3200 in there should handle most video just fine, unless QuickTime is just being ridiculous.. which is entirely possible, especially if ATI's drivers are blowing hard. I know that Adobe recommends making sure that you have the latest drivers from ATI themselves before grabbing the hardware accelerated Flash release, so it's possible that ATI is still correcting acceleration issues. Good luck!

  • Problems with HD video playback/editing

    I bought an Aiptek A-HD video camera from best buy about 6 months ago, and it's great but the video is really glitchy on my computer (Dimension 4700). I assume I need to upgrade my graphics card, but I don't really know what's what. Help please?

    Video RAM is only used in large quantities when the card is in 3D mode (primarily for storage of textures).
    For any 2D operations, very little video RAM is required.
    I strongly suggest focusing on your CPU/system RAM, then later on your video card.  Even the Intel GMA X4500MHD (a barebones/basic chipset) is capable of full H.264/AVC offloading for playback.
    For editing you will be solely CPU-bound.  The exception is that some super-high-end editing software CAN offload to newer NVidia GPUs (using a technique called GP-GPU), but so far almost no software does it, and a lot of reviews indicate that the video quality suffers in such cases.

  • Faulty iTunes Video Playback

    Dear All,
    I’ve unfortunately encountered a problem with iTunes video playback after installing iTunes 10 (and now iTunes 10.1) on my new Dell computer. The computer has hardware which should run iTunes with no problems (dedicated video card, 4 GB ram and a nice screen), and has Windows 7 installed, with the newest BOIS (Dell Studio XPS 16).
    My iTunes video though is faulty. TV Shows bought from iTunes run in a way that’s halting and really choppy. No other video plays this way on the computer, just in iTunes. And its much more exaggerated when the video is stretched to full screen or made larger in any way. Its unnoticeable if I make the video the size of a notecard on my computer. It makes video unwatchable if its full screen.
    Anything I can do? Any ideas? I’ve followed all the suggestions in this article to no avail (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718), except for the IDE step, which doesn’t seem to be an option on my computer?
    Thank you for all your help.

    There have been reports of problems like this when iTunes has a big version jump.
    I've not witness any problems that you have, I'm running on low power on battery and video still plays fine in iTunes, even fullscreen. My laptop is probably less powerful than yours is.
    Problems like this seem to come about if there is a major software revision and the software isn't removed properly before installing a newer version.
    Try http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 this is how to completely remove iTunes to install a newer version. Best to do a backup first just in case. If that doesn't work, there is another way, but we'll try that one for now.

  • Itunes 7.0.1 still has major problems with jerky video

    I thought the newest update to Itunes 7 would fix my problems with jerky video that have begun since this Itunes 7 came out. At first I thought maybe my computer was too old (powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz, with maxed out RAM) to play the new resolution, but then I realized that even my old TV shows had jerky playback. It doesn't seem to matter what size. The audio works fine, but the video freezes every few seconds. This is not really acceptable and I'm thinking about uninstalling Itunes 7 until apple issues a fix that address this video playback issue. Anyone have any suggestions or heard anything? Thanks!
    - Tpetdoctor

    I located the problem of the jerky (1 to 2 frames per second) video that started after updating to iTunes7 and 7.0.1!
    Dragging (copying) the file "ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle" from system/library/extensions/ to the desktop and deleting it from the extensions folder (or else simply deleting it and then dragging it from the trash to the desktop) returns normal smooth video to non-H.264 mpeg video on my second generation iMac (ATI Radeon 9600). Unfortunately, this also makes Coverflow stop working with the message "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I'm not sure what else will be disabled by moving this file.
    Obviously, this is not a solution, or even a feasible workaround. Where can I get a "good" ATI driver? I went to the ATI site "https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&fold erID=27" and tried installing "macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg", but to no avail.

  • Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

    Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
    Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
    This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
    This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
    It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
    The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00846935&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
    1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52
    2 X 512KB L2 Cache
    2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
    120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
    I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
    If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.
    HP Pavilion Entertainment PC   Other OS   Vista

    OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
    ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
    Let me know if this works for everyone else.
    Later
