QT Pro Skips when playing new AVI files!

I'm having some trouble with my QT Pro 7.0.4-
It hasn't given me any trouble until I got this newest version.
The last two new AVI files I tried to play skip like a CD, both in audio and video, like it can't keep up with itself. It renders the clips unwatchable =(.
I tried playing AVIs that I had played before I got the new version and they play fine! Additionally, the two files that failed to play correctly are from two different sources.
Any ideas? Is it a file problem? A codec problem? A QT problem? Is my computer just tired. ?=(
Thanks for your help in advance!

What codec is used in the AVI files? AVI is just a container format, so it may be that the particular codec (DivX, 3ivx, etc.) being used needs to be updated.

CS4 Windows problems: crash very often, stuck when import certain avi files

The followling problems are in CS4 (newer updated) Windows (Windows XP SP3):
I am using Premiere Pro in CS4 and the program crashes so often (it crashes more than 10 times in one afternoon). It usually starts when I place clip, photoshop file, or other assets to sequence. If it starts leave a lot of frames while I pull the asset (there will be the same frame over the path my mouse went), it is a signal to crash soon. After it restarts, it usually loses the last saved information (even I saved the project way before it crashes). I do not know whether other users see the similar behavior.
The second problem does not look like only for CS4. It happens in CS3 too. When I place an AVI file (not sure whether other format behaves the same), the import program will stuck in the end (while it shows "generate peaks from xxx.avi"). It will take forever and I never successfully finish importing the file. I worked around and realized it only happens to the avi files I captured from Movie maker (use Auto capture option). The avi file can be played in Windows Media player. If I use Movie maker to cut the end of the avi file, the new avi file can be imported to Premiere without any problem. It seems the last few frames in the captured avi file has problem so the import subfunction will stuck there. I am not sure whether this is the case. If it is, the program should be "SMART" enough to go on or ignore the bad frames.
Any idea?

Thanks, Harm. This brings to another problem I had. While I am using PR to capture DV from my two mini-DV cameras, sometimes it just generates a lot flicks or "snow" in the avi files. But with Movie Maker, the same tape will not have such problem. This is why I am using Movie maker to capture the movie since it is accessible beside PR. It seems the PR problem is only for the last few frames so I just cut the last few frames off. I do not know why PR cannot just generate an Error message to UI so we will not just wait there for hours. I did some programming to control many instruments and I understand I cannot project every problem the program will encount, but at least I can generate an error message to tell the user where the problem is. Is this the fundmental guideline for programmers? If PR does like the format, let us know when it reads. It is very frustrated while you wait there hours and hours without any idea why it stucks!

Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.

When I import .avi files I only get audio, no video!

When I add .avi files recorded with my Flip Video camera to the clip gallery and view, I only get audio, no video. The same happens when I try to play the clip with Quicktime. Help!

Update to first post.
The Flip Video camcorder records or "captures" video in MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format, saved as an AVI file.
MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format = usually DivX
1.) With Mpeg streamclip you should be able to convert your AVI(Divx) files to a DV format for iMovie. To open DivX files, you have to install one of the free Divx Pro codecs on your system.
MPEG Streamclip 1.8
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
DivX Pro Codec 6.6 (6-month trial)
http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
2.) Visual Hub $24 should be able to convert WMV and AVI (compressed with the DivX Codec)to a DV format for iMovie.
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
3.) With Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro $29 you can convert your WMV files for iMovie.
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm
4.) With Perian 0.5 and Quicktime Pro $30 you should be able to convert your AVI/DivX files to a DV format for iMovie.

I hope one of these solutions work for you.

How can the Windows Media Player 12 be made to play WVC210 .avi files?

I just built a new computer and it won't play the motion captured videos of the WVC210. It has Windows 7 Home Premium as the operating system. My machines running XP play the WVC210 files GREAT. Is there a codec I can add to the WMP12 so that it will play the .avi files. I have 3 cameras around the property, 2 WVC210 and 1 WVC200. 1 camera has the audio turned off so switching to MP4 (no audio) made that work OK. But the camera in the office I need to have audio and would rather stick to WMP over something like VLC. VLC plays the files fine but I much prefer WMP. I'm hopeing to find out how to have Windows Media Player 12 play the .AVI files from the WVC210 cameras. Any Help??

There appears to be issues with codecs on WMP 12 and Windows 7
AND\OR your WMP is missing the necessary codecs.
Google the Net and you should find different things to try

HT3775 i try to play an AVI file and it says the codes isnt supported?

I'm trying to play an avi file. Quicktime won't play it because the required codec isnt available but when I click on 'tell me more' button it does list avi as a file format that is should play. First the file would play in VLC but then I installed some updates and now it doesnt play it anymore? What's going on?

AVI isn't a audio format, but merely a container or wrapper around the codec. So, just because it is an AVI doesn't mean it is the same as every other AVI.
VLC can usually play just about everything. Were the updates to VLC or to the OS?

TS1717 i loaded music from a flashdrive from my old computer with a windows xp os onto my itunes library. Now all the songs in my library skip when played or downloaded from store

I decied to load some songs from my old computer which had windows xp. I used a flash drive and loaded them onto my new computer with windows 7.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

Message by mpv and ffplay when playing certain flac files

When playing certain flac files with mpv or ffplay, I experience colored messages which might be warnings or errors in the terminal. I don't hear that something is wrong with the audio and therefore I ignored it for a long time. But I'm a bit curious why this message occures because the files are converted from CDs with the flac tool itself. The output I am talking about looks like this (in orange) when playing with mpv:
[ffmpeg] NULL: sample/frame number mismatch in adjacent frames
And it looks like this when playing with ffplay (in cyan and orange):
[flac @ 0x7f73e0001760] sample/frame number mismatch in adjacent frames
When decoding with the flac utility, I don't see any messages. Does anybody know, where this behavior comes from? Might it be a good idea to rip and reencode the audio again or can I safely ignore these messages?

Yes, they are the vanilla packages from the repos.

Well, I just updated an old Gentoo (which took some time) and experience the same messages with these files. Interestingly, when I fastforward, the message does not appear (on both systems).
karol wrote:Google shows these messages are pretty common, but since nothing seems to be broken, I don't think you need to worry.
Yes, I also tried to search these messages on Google. But I did not understand most of it. It's just that I could not understand why a file that was encoded by flac itself produce errors/warnings or anything like that when playing and just make sure that nothing is broken.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

JMF: How to play an avi file NOT in a Frame...is this possible?

-----Primary Task------
Using JMF, I want to play an avi video file NOT in a Frame
---------Why?----------
I want to play this avi file in a "non-decoration" container (ie. no Windows GUI, eg. Window/JWindow, Panel/JPanel)
-------Problem---------
The MediaPlayer method in JMF 2.2.1e requires a Frame container, according to JMFUtil.java (eg. mediaplayer = jmapps.util.JMFUtils.createMediaPlayer)
------Questions--------
1. Is there any way to change the method of JMFUtil.java to enable video files to play NOT in a Frame, like a Window or Panel?
2. If not, do you know of any "tricks" to get rid of the Frame decorations?
3. If not, any other solutions?

sigh... first read the API, then ask.
Frame.setUndecorated(boolean) might help. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/awt/Frame.html#setUndecorated(boolean)

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

Is the Battery level is low?
The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is

if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
To fix it in Windows simply run
chkdsk drive: /R /F
where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.

E52 jump songs when play some AAC files downloaded...

Hi, Nokia fans. I recently updated my firmware to 034.001. MY E52 jumps songs when play some AAC files downloaded from iTunes store. It doesn`t occur until I updated to the newest firmware. Any idea how to fix this?
Regards for Chan

Actually, no I don't have crossfade playback on. The files cut out anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds before the file is supposed to finish, it really has nothing to do with crossfade...
