Quicktime plays videos too fast

If I play a video in quicktime and on another player such as VLC side by side the quicktime video is always faster. I estimate it is going about 1.3-1.5x of the speed it is playing in VLC. It also plays regular speed in front row too. What is going on here and how can it be fixed? I have also seen many posts about it going 20x to fast but it is not at all that fast. Also the sound in the movie is also sped up a little too.

I've actually just started having the same problem. Maybe two weeks ago, I was playing an .avi file in Quicktime - about half-way through, it just jumped to double speed (I checked the FPS once this happened, and saw that it went from 24 to 48). Now this problem seems to happen on any type of video played through Quicktime or through iTunes (which I assume use the same "engine"). This includes videos I've purchased or downloaded through iTunes. The weird thing is, sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't. I tried repairing permissions, used Onyx to clean a bunch of things, restarted (yes, I recognize that sometimes it's just that simple), etc. I had Perian installed, but I uninstalled it... all to no avail. Any ideas?

  • Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast

    Hi
    I have just updated to the lastest version of flashplayer 11.3.300.257.  Now, all vidoes in youtube and bbc iplayer etc that use flashplayer run very fast and without sound (just like fast forwarding x4).
    I am on Windows Vista Business Edition (all updates included)
    Browser is IE9.
    I have tried a clean reinstall of flash player a number of times but same issue.
    I have cleared caches and deleted all history etc via the advanced section of the software.
    I have also removed the hardware acceleration.  Nothing has helped.
    However, if i run in "safe mode" it seems to run at the correct speed.  I have uninstalled all recent software updates (such as skype) but still the issue remains.  Is it likely to be a conflict issue?
    I have tried to install a previous version of flashplayer from the archives page but get an error message 1722.
    Can anyone help?

    For my reference, here's the bug:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3217331 - Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
    In order to get traction on this, they're going to need to be able to reproduce it.
    It would be great if you could do two things:
    - Provide direct links to a couple videos that reproduce this problem. 
      If they're on different sites, and based in the US, even better.  (Geographic restrictions make it hard to troubleshoot.  We can VPN, but that can mask/introduce network and timing problems.)
    - Provide the output of dxdiag.exe
      Go to Start > Run > and type "debugdiag" no qoutes, then hit [Enter]
    Save the output and attach it to the bug above.

  • HDV MPEG2 Video Playback in QuickTime - frame rate too fast!!

    Hello All,
    I'm having a very strange problem which just began this past week when I upgraded to QT 7.2 (darn me, I'm a video pro, I should have known better than to do this mid-project!). I am editing a film with HDV content: 1280 x 720 pixels, MPEG2 video (.m2v file type).
    I have the MPEG2 plugin for QT.
    When I open the file in QT Player, it plays the video almost 2.5 times faster than the audio, increasing the frame rate to do so. For example, if I view the Movie Properties for one particular file, and compare the sound track to the video track, it will claim that that the sound track has a duration of 7:03:24, whereas the video duration has a duration of 2:49:27. When watching the video, it plays it back too fast. When I import the file into Final Cut, the same "sped up" file is viewed.
    I think this is a QuickTime specific problem because I downloaded VLC Media Player (which can also open MPEG2 files) and it opened and played the same MPEG2 file perfectly and at the correct speed.
    I tried uninstalling and downgrading to QT 7.1.6 (and then re-installed OS 10.4.10) - but the problem still exists. So there must be something else that was installed in this QT update that I haven't been able to figure out that is causing this very weird problem.
    I'm at a standstill with my FCP project because all the files it refers to in my sequences use the same QT engine - so all my video files are playing back too fast. Yikes!
    Please can anyone help me or provide any insight, I'm happy to try anything or post more info.
    Thank you,
    Catherine
    P.S. I'm going to post a similar thread over with the FCP folks to see if they have heard of any similar problems.

    Sorry to dig up an old post, but I am having the same problem. Does anybody know a solution, it seems to occur on all MP2 movies, HD or not.

  • H264/ACC Stream plays back too fast on some computers

    Hi all,
    we got some feedback from some of our customers (about 1%) that the QuickTime streams we provide (H.264/ACC) play back too fast, about double the original rate and sound is dropping out.
    I have not seen this problem myself and there is no particular movie, which does not work. It seems to be the client setup (QT settings, video card whatever).
    Does anybody know what happens?
    Thanks

    Hi T-MACK,
    This may not be much help but I had the same problem. Inspection showed that I'd inadvertantly set the camera on long play when shooting the footage. It seemed fine when importing into imovie but playback appeared to be double speed. I posted a question on this forum but couldn't get a satisfactory solution. Re-setting the camera and reimporting didn't help. However, I borrowed a friends camcorder and reimported the same video from that. It worked. I can't see why but it did.
    Perhaps sommeone will come up with a better answer.
    Regards

  • Audio books play back too fast on iPad

    Audiobook play back too fast on iPad .Ok when played back computer have tried re setting iPad and adjusting speech speed

    Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

    Nope, longstanding bug as simply having been around for a while. It's a bizarre one though.
    I don't have an Xtra so I can't test (hopefully someone else can) but I'll check my Micro.
    The key thing here is do you know if the music itself is actually accelerated? Or is it just the timer that's off?

    It sounds like the Podcast's playback speed was changed. You can change it by tapping the podcast artwork, locating the speed control that can be found under the right side of the scrubber bar. Then adjust as needed.

  • IMovie import plays WAY TOO FAST!

    I am importing video from a DV (Sony DCR-HC96) straight into iMovie. The transition is smooth and recorded content plays in normal time from DV camera. During transition, the video appears in normal speed on the Mac.
    However, when the import is completed -- and I try and PLAY the video on my Mac (MacBook Pro), the speed of the movie is SCREAMING FAST (16x-20x too fast.)
    Anybody feeling smart about this?
    Would really(!) appreciate your help....

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    When you say "transition" I think you mean "import" ..the process of passing the video from the camcorder into iMovie. (..A "transition" is generally something which you apply in iMovie; a means of changing from one video clip to another via a 'cross-fade' or a 'dissolve', etc..)
    The specifications for this camera, on Sony's page (click on that blue link) and on Amazon's page both mention..
    "..Progressive Shutter System
    A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition."
    If you've shot your movie(s) using progressive recording (..using a shutter speed marked 'p', such as '30p' or '24p'..) then iMovie may play it back faster than normal. This is because iMovie normally expects DV to consist of two 'interlaced' fields of video (two sets of lines which each make up half-a-picture) instead of single full frames of video.
    (..On the other hand, the "progressive" in the specifications may refer only to still photos; it's not easy to tell from the descriptions whether or not the video may be shot as progressive, too..)
    If it's NOT playing fast because you've shot progressive video ('p') instead of interlaced video ('i'), then I can't think of a reason just now why it'd be playing fast ..sorry.

  • .mov files - video too fast, audio ok

    HI!
    I have a problem with .mov files. They play and the sound is ok, but video plays too fast and i ahead of audio. I'm sure the video is too fast, because i can see when someone is talking that it's way too fast. I've tried reinstalling quictime, installing older versions, reinstalling direct x and graphics drivers. I even tried quictime alternative. Nothing helps. This happens to files that i have on my disc.And it only happens on my computer, on my brothers it plays just fine, so the files are ok.
    Can anyone help?

  • Itunes 9 plays music too fast

    The music files I loaded onto my MAC are playing too fast. I have not had this problem before. System software and Itunes are all up to date. Any suggestions?

    A very strange problem indeed. I have not encountered this, and I have no idea if this will help you for sure, but Quicktime has a feature to playback music in a faster speed. It's a Quicktime menu option called "Show A/V Controls" under the "Window" menu (on the PC). The bottom right of the window that pops-up from that has "Playback speed" and if you drag that to "1x", that might help. It's the only thing I can think of. iTunes uses Quicktime components quite a bit. Do the songs play fast on your iPod?

  • Quicktime plays video in slow motion

    Quicktime plays my video from a Sony NEX-3 camera [H.264 MP4 files] in slow motion. The images plays at a reduced speed, while the sound plays at full speed. One consequence is that image and sound is completely out of sync. The video plays fine in iMovie and MPEG stream clip.
    I tried in two Macs: a Macbook Air (10.6.6) and a Macbook (10.6.5) and on both the video is slow motion, but on the Macbook it is extreme slow motion, while on the Macbook Air it is slight slow motion [mainly noticeable through lack of sync between image and sound].
    Video from iPhone 4 plays without problems in Quicktime.
    Since iMovie plays the Sony video fine, I would assume it is not a Sony video problem, but a bug in Quicktime. How do I get Apple to fix that bug?
