QuickTime is sloooow to load files

I have the latest version. I use Vista. Whenever I double click on a video file, regardless of the type, it takes over a minute for QuickTime to start. Is there something I can do to speed this up? It never use to take this long.

I recently added Quicktime Pro to my VISTA machine and noticed how slow files load, too. I would also be interested in an improvement.

  • QuickTime takes longer to load files.

    I Have noticed that for a while now, since the last update, QuickTime seems to take FAR Longer to load an average 700Mb movie file than it used to before this last update. Can't recall the date for the update but I wondered if therewere any of you people out there experiencing the same trouble.
    I tried restoring permissions and even fixing possible problems.... not to avail.
    Suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Will.

  • Quicktime very slow to load files over local network

    I've had this issue before and managed to resolve it, but recently it's cropped back up and I've been unable to fix it.
    If I attempt to load a movie file with Quicktime over my local network, Quicktime stops responding... it will eventually spring to life and open the video after a few minutes.
    Before, I was recommended to install Perian and did so. That solved that issue immediately. However, in more recent releases of Quicktime, the issue has reappeared and even reinstalling Perian has done nothing.
    Any insight?

    BT FON is an open network that does not use wireless encryption, so it will be slightly faster anyway, however as your problem seems to be with your main SSID, its possible that there is some incompatibility between your wireless card, and the home hub.
    Try changing the wireless encyption on the home hub to WPA only, and not WPA/WPA2. Some wireless cards do not like mixed mode encryption.
    There may be an update to your wireless card drivers.

    Hi,
    The only thing I can think of suggesting is to download the Full Feature installer on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL29976/al-74809-1/DJ_AIO_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe
    When the download has completed, right click the installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  Do not connect the PC to the printer until the software asks you to.
    Hope this helps.
    Best wishes,

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

    Hi all,
    Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
    When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
    At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
    When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
    I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
    Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
    Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
    A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
    A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
    I have tried the following:
    In Photoshop preferences:
    disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
    Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
    Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
    changing the scratch disk
    Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
    In Bridge
    Purging the cache
    Increasing or decreasing the cache size
    Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
    In general system
    Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
    Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
    Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
    Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
    The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
    Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
    System is as follows:
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
    24GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
    Hoping someone has an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
    Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
    I'll keep testing and post back.
    I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
    What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

    I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

    And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
    QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

    When the user logs on on citrix using her profile  and starts Webexcel using my profile - no problem.
    My profile has administrator rights and she may not have them. So I really want her into the usergroup.

    Hello,
        From what I understand from your log file, this is a custom import package. It is failing into the last step, loading data into the cube and it seems there is no file to be loaded. If the same package is working well for the other users, this means that the user has not enough security rights to load data from that file (maybe the file contains data for which the user is not authorized to see).
       To understand better what is happening, just try to activate the debug using the DEBUG(ON) instruction into EvModifyPackage. This will create more information regarding the parameters passed to your tasks and you will be able to identify the file name passed to Dump&Load task.
    You can verify then into Private publication\user name\Temp files the content of file (and the content of all temporary files generated by your package) and this will help you to understand where is the problem.
    Hope this can help you,
    Mihaela

    </jnlp>The above file always fails with the error shown at the top of this message. However, if I remove either of the two properties, it works fine. And I have created other variations with lots of properties, some of which work. All of these variations are in the same directory in the war file, served by the exact same servlet (a slightly modified version of the jnlp.sample.servlet.JnlpDownloadServlet provided with JDK 1.6.0_3). Assuming that a no-cache header is the problem, what on earth could be causing some JNLP files to always be served with a no-cache header, while others are never served with a no-cache header?
    On a related note, any recommended debugging techniques for seeing what headers are being transmitted? I tried adding a simple check for a "debug=true" parameter in the servlet that causes it to set the content type to "text/plain" instead of JNLP, and that allows me to see (rather than execute) the JNLP XML that's being returned, but it doesn't show me the HTTP headers that are being sent back. If any caching headers are being set, I think it must be being set by the servlet container itself, as it's nothing being set in the servlet code that I can see. So I don't see any way on the server side Java code to output or log the actual HTTP response (or is there?). Any tips in that regard much appreciated.

    Hi Luca-Sanna,
    Thanks for the response. Re browsers, yes, it fails in IE but it succeeds in Firefox. The info on the JavaWS FAQ and other places all seem to indicate that it's an IE issue concerning handling of the cache-control headers.
    I should check in my webserver forum (Sun WebServer 7) to see about logging options. Sniffing on the client side is not possible, as my app is required to use HTTPS exclusively, and unfortunately that also precludes a telnet GET request.

  • Help with Could not load file or assembly 'msshrtmi' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

    This was all working yesterday, but this morning, I cannot run in the dev fabric, or even setting the website project as a startup project directly, I get the following error:
    Could not load file or assembly 'msshrtmi' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

    Note that the dev machine is x64 Win7.
    I have not tried deploying this to staging since the issue started as I'm a bit nervous of touching the staging/live environment until this is solved.
    Removing the PlatformTarget element from the project file has no effect
    Removing the msshrtmi.dll file from the bin directory of the website project ends up with 
    'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsFabric.Common, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified'
    I have used Git to revert to the last working build to no effect (But I don't have the obj/bin folders in GIT), but it has atleast reset the project files etc.
    If I return msshrtmi.dll to the bin folder and switch the model and website projects to x64 there is no change
    If I switch both to x86 then I get an error Could not load file or assembly 'BekoModel2011' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
    which is the model project - presumably because to run on my x64 machine I need the 64bit version?
    I really need to be able to debug and then publish some changes ASAP.

    Hi,
    Is it true that you're using IIS to host the application? Could you check whether the process is x64 or x86 one via task manager or config in IIS manager?
