Quicktime movie audio stutters and freezes viewer and browser

I uploaded a Quicktime movie to my website and it plays fine on all of my computers except one - the one that I do my website on. All Quicktime movies hang with rapidly looping audio on this machine - even the ones on Apple's website. This lasts for a minute or two and hangs the programs until it stops. Other video and audio formats work fine on this machine. Help!

Hard to believe there are no takers.
Hardly surprising. You didn't really ask a question to which readers could respond nor do you seem to be looking for a workaround for your unexplained and rather circuitous workflow. I did attempt to duplicate the download/conversion process using my own system, software, and workflows but since you did not include any particular YouTube source file (i.e., URL) reference and my results were different than yours, I can't even be sure I started with the same content as you. Basically, such sync problems normally devolve from a problem in the source file or in the processes used to download and/or convert the content.
A YouTube search for the file name referenced in your initial comments directed me to this YouTube page which I used as a source file: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_INlMhECFA
However, when I downloaded the 426x240 version of the YouTube source file, it turned out to be a standard H.263/MP3 FLV file with stats quite different than those of your H.264/AAC MP4 download posted above and which did not display any AV sync issues. (Source File)
I then used QT 7 Pro (with Perian codec package installed) to directly convert the H.263/MP3 FLV compressed data to an H.264/AAC MP4 file having the same target settings as the original FLV file. (Converted File)
In short, based on the information provided, I cannot duplicate your problems. In addition, the downloaded 720p30 resolution H.264/AAC MP4 version of the same content also played correctly in the QT 7 player without conversion or additional third-party codecs. At this point (i.e., without further information to the contrary), I suspect your issues may be self inflicted as a result of your workflow and may explain why others have failed to make comments here.

QuickTime 7 Audio stutters and distorts

When I watch videos with QuickTime 7 the picture quality is perfect but audio is stuttery, distorted and unlistenable. I have Windows XP Pro.
Haven't found a discussion or Apple Support topic that addresses this problem, however from related issues have tried adjusting streaming rate and Wave Out settings in QT 7 with no joy.
I uninstalled and reinstalled QT version 6.5.2 which plays everything absolutely fine, problem solved. However iTunes will not now work/open as error message comes up - it requires QT version 7.0.3 or later.

Oh, I forgot: the strangest of all is that itunes works perfectly well even though it supposed to rely on quicktime...

Trying to import .mov audio file and burn as MP3

Can someone point me to a thread, or be kind enough to post answer, about how I might successfully import a .mov audio file and wind up burning it as an MP3. I've been dinking around with this for too long. I can import it and end up with it in the format: MPEG-1, Layer 3. But when I burn it to CD and play it on a Sony boom box, I hear nothing. I tried playing it in another iMac and hear nothing.
Thanks.

I was hoping someone in this forum could point me in the right direction to a web site that is designed specifically for Garage Band users that need sound effects.
Check out:

Satellite L655 S5107 Audio stutters and it also crashes

I'm having similar problems like a lot of people I think, where my laptop has audio stutters, but mines also freezes and then crashes. This happens when I'm listening to music or watching videos. I've tried updating drivers and disabling them and enabling again, but the problem still persists. I don't know what else to do, if anyone knows I would really appreciate the help, thank you.

You might want to share that information on the appropriate forum.

Quicktime movie file corrupted and will not run

I created a quicktime movie using an appllication called Wirecast. Before the quicktime file was stopped, I ran out of hard disk space and the QT file shut down incomplete. I have tried all the easily available tools to 'recover' the file and they do not work. Is there anyone who can suggest a name or is able to manipulate the file to enable it to be read by any appllication. It contains a childs baptism and the family is distraught that it failed? Thank you.

I used the services of http://aeroquartet.com/movierepair/ to repair my corrupted Quictime file. Although it was more expensive than I anticipated, the service was absolutely first rate, the solution is brilliant and the Treasured application written by these people is amazing. I cannot recommend this solution more highly if you have a corrupted video file. Even given the cost of $149US for mu sepcific solution, it can be used on other files, is simple to apply and an irreplaceable memory has been saved. Special thanks to Benoit and his team (or just him). Amazing. Warren

Audio stutters and skips

Hi, when I play music on my computer it stutters and skips when I open applications or surf the web. Everytime I click on something it stutters or skips. Please Help!!! I have a Pavillion dv6.

i looked at that link and even tried some of the fixes it suggested but it didn't fix the problem. i still get skips and jumps in the video playing while the audio runs fine. i have tried restarting in safe mode and that didn't fix it. i watch alot of videos online, but as it is, it is making it almost impossible to watch videos and understand what is going on.

Movie audio stuttering

Since ITUNES last software update, Quicktime Movies (taken from my didital camera) which I convert to play on my ipod, play with the audio "stuttering". It is not an ipod problem, since the converted file stutters even when I play it back on my PC. I have some Quicktime files which I had conerted BEFORE the last update, and, they still play OK. However, If I convert them again with the latest software, the resulting file will stutter on playback.
I do see that the older converted files have a "BIT RATE" of 128 kbps while the most recently convert files have a bit rate of 94 kbps. This may be the problem....does anyone know how to set the bite rate for file conversion in Quick Time??

It is my experience that the DVD will also have the audio stuttering. I've had several projects with the same issue. It's frustrating. There is a thread that addresses the audio stutterning problem. I was not able to work around the problem on a video that I created. I will enclose the link:

How to create QuickTime movie from JPEG and Audio file

My Sony Cybershot allows me to record audio files for each picture. When I'm reviewing the images, I can listen to the audio. However, these files are stored separately as a JPEG and a WAV file (having identical filenames, diff extensions.
Is there an easy way to merge these two files into a QT Movie?
Can this be automated?
Does anyone know of an app or script that can do this?
Many thanks,
Shayne

None specific for your task that I know of.
You'll first want to convert the silly .wav audio file (match the capture settings) to a more modern format which will also reduce its file size by a factor of ten.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
For some AppleScripts. Many no longer work with Tiger and QuickTime 7, however.
It may take some time but if you have hundreds to make it (Automator) can help speed up your workflow.

Quicktime 10 player stutters and skips but quicktime pro doesn't

I have a early 2011 17inch i7 mac book pro and just recently when I play 60fps footage from my 7D camera in quicktime 10, the clips stutter and skips, it does this intermittently and in different parts of the same clip. I can play the clip and it would stutter at one point and then when i play it back again it would play fine at that same part and then stutter at another part. But when i open the same footage in quicktime 7 (quicktime pro) it play with no issues every single time.
So I then tried the same footage on my 8 core MacPro, and played the clips in quicktime 10, all the footage plays with no problems everytime.
Is this a hard drive issue, a grafics card issue? I was at the apple store and seen a genuis and we tried to troubleshoot it but cold not figure out the issue. The apple rep said to replace the hardrive, but i want to make sure before I do. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks for the response.
I didn't realize those settings weren't controlling the same function, but I see that now... Fact is, I don't use QT all that much, and don't need much functionality from it, just to watch a few screen capture videos I create using Snapz Pro X.
Problem is, I can't control rewind/fast-forward if I can't see the controls, and QT doesn't default to showing the full display. Unfortunately, it seems the pref setting functionality I want apparently doesn't work for MY needs, so I'm stuck with having to manually select the 'fit to screen' setting EVERY TIME I open a new .mov video in QT. I see there's a keyboard short-cut to "fit to screen" (Apple Key/3), but the only thing better than needing to use a key combo EVERY time I open a movie is not needing to use one at all! Very Un-Maclike...
Wondering why QT Pro can't default to opening to the USER'S preference (whether fit to screen or full screen), so as not to have to change it EVERY TIME? This is a PRO app? How long has QT been released, a decade or two? Shouldn't it a mature app, at this point, with little nit-noids like this worked out?

SWF movie trailer stutters and stops on first loading...

Hi.
I am working on a site using the creative suite CS5. The site in question is www.dystopiafilm.com. My partner, a professor, is promoting his free film. On the second page, we will be using a streaming service, Streamhoster, to show the whole film or the various individual chapters in separate pop up windows.
But on the first page, the index page, we would like the movie trailer (less than 2 minutes) to start playing immediately when the user gets to the web page--it is a very dramatic trailer. The second time a user plays the trailer, it plays smoothly, but of course, the dramatic effect has been damaged. Does anyone know how we could make the swf play more smoothly the first time through? I understand that if we use Streamhoster for the streaming for the first page trailer, we'd have to have a javascript pop up window, but I would much rather the trailer div stay embedded in the web page for aesthetic effect.
Help, anyone? I'm an amateur at this web creation business--just starting learning 6 months ago.

you can lower your bitrate.

Quicktime Movie Controller Will Not Work in Web Browser

Regardless if it's Safari or Firefox, I cannot click any of the buttons on the movie controller when viewing my movies in a web browser. They work as intended in iWeb, however.

Well I figured it out. Apparently if the video is too low on the page it will not play. I had to change the Y value, moving it up, and it would magically play. Weird...

Can't import quicktime movie made from Keynote into iMovie media browser

I've created a file in Keynote, exported it to quicktime and would like to import into iMovie. iMovie keeps giving me this error message: Unknown error: the file could not be imported. Can someone help?

Rarely am I able to solve my own problems, regardless of how much effort. But I did figure this one out, simply by trial and error. *To recap... I have created a sample slide show to use as a test run through Keynote (to get the best builds and transitions), to Quicktime Pro, into iMovie (to marry the features of iMovie with the Keynote slides) then back to Quicktime Pro as a final product.* It was a crash course with all 3 applications, so a huge learning curve for me.
Quicktime Kirk helped me successfully with my first go round with this. But with so many nested compression windows and so many combinations of choices, I eventually forgot which settings had worked correctly to give me the quality resolution that I had achieved the first time.
So I posted several messages asking for some clue where I was going wrong. Kirk did get back to me, but told me that I needed to create my project entirely without iMovie. Very frustrating because I knew I had done it before with iMovie.
After literally hours of analyzing all the working files and duplicating the exact settings I used before, two scenarios were happening. One, the end product had terrible resolution quality (not even close to the first time around). *Or two, when trying to import the first Quicktime file created from Keynote into iMovie, there was an error message saying that the file could not be imported*.
So, I eventually decided to try the following:
*1. Create Keynote file*
*2. Export to QT with "Full Quality/Large" setting checked, and "Include Transparency" checked.*
*3. Open QT file to check quality. If acceptable, export this QT file as a QT file again using the highest quality settings - preferably ones that match the first export from Keynote to QT.*
*4. Open iMovie file and import this new QT file.*
*5. Do my thing with it.*
*6. Export (Share) iMovie file as a final QT file with "Full Quality" setting checked in the first pop-up compression window.*
This sequence proved to be successful with the same high quality resolution as the very first go round with it. I KNOW, though, that this wasn't the sequence I used the first time because I didn't do step 3.
I am just happy that I got what I needed. Now I can create my full presentation without worrying about the outcome in the end.
*Because I'm on a Mac, and the AIC default is used, my next feat is going to be identifying codec settings that are going to work both on Mac and PC (newer machines AND older machines).*
*So, does anyone have a clue how to do this?*

Songs show up as "QuickTime movie file" and won't share or sync

I have a few mp3 audio files in iTunes that aren't being transferred to my iPod (3G) and aren't showing up when I share my iTunes library to another computer, and I can't figure out why.
The filenames have ".mp3" extensions. When I do a 'Get Info' on them in the Finder, they're identified as "MP3 Audio File". Running 'file' on them from a Terminal window says "MP3 file with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag". They play just fine in iTunes as well as in QuickTime Player.
But when I do a 'Get Info' on them from within iTunes, iTunes says each one is a "QuickTime movie file". And when I access this computer's shared music from iTunes on another computer on my network, everything shows up except these tracks; and when I sync my iPod, everything shows up except these tracks. I don't get any error messages.
Why does iTunes think these songs are movie files, and how do I correct it?
G5/1.8 Single Mac OS X (10.4.8)

These files have the wrong creator.
You can correct this by running the script on this web page.
The page also contains information about avoiding this in the future.
Hope this helps.

How can I export a movie with audio that I have edited in logic 9 to a quicktime movie

I imported a quicktime movie into logic and added audio and effects but when i export it the original audio from the quicktime movie is still there even though it doesn't sound in logic!

Hi
One of teh final steps in the Export to Movie process is a dialog box where one can select which of the audio tracks embedded within the movie are included.
You must actively de-select those tracks that you do NOT want to include in the Export.
