Quicktime Video hangs while audio plays fine

I have tried everthing to configure Quicktime to play videos with looking like a set of flashcards. I have upgraded to all the latest versions. I unchecked the "Enable direct3d video acceleration" in the Control Paned Quicktime Preferences and have set it to safe mode (GDI only) per the FAQ. But still I get halting video from video files on my harddrive (not from internet) while the audio plays just fine. Can anyone expain this and tell me how to correct it. My PC system is more than adequate so I do not understand why this occurs. Flash Player video plays just fine and only Quicktime video is a problem. PLEASE HELP! I've paid for the whole first season of "Heroes" on iTunes and am unable to watch it!

I am getting really SICK and TIRED of forums where pleas for help are ignored and are never receive a reply. Just like the player, your support STINKS! I cannot believe my problem has not occurred to hundreds of quicktime subscribers and that no one has a clue to this flashcard-like halting video problem.

Is it possible to have a video loop while audio plays in a motion menu?

Hi!
Here's the deal:
I have a seamlesly looping 8 second video clip for my motion menu, but the audio file for that menu lasts 1 minute. For rendering time/disc space and bit budgeting purposes I would like to use the video file as a loop while the audio file plays trough in my motion menu.
Is it possible to have the video file loop while the audio plays trough, or do I have to make my video 1 minute long too?
Any help will be appreciated!

The video must also be 1 minute long too.
You could always loop the 8 second clip though.
Load up Premiere, add your loop & 1 minute audio clip.
Set 2 seconds silence at the head of the audio.
Loop your 8 second clip 8 times to give you a 64 second video clip.
This will give you 2 seconds of silence at the trailing end, but there is really no other way

[SOLVED] flashplugin video freezing while audio is fine

I saw a post about this on this forum, but I've been searching the forum for about 5 hours now and I can't find it, so I'll post a new topic.
When I do almost anything with adobe flash (in firefox or chromium) after about five seconds the visual freezes while the audio goes on. I hesitate to call it "video" because this happens with games and such, not just youtube-type videos. If I right click on the flash animation/video/whatever you want to call it, it starts working again, but only for a few seconds before the same thing happens again.
Also, if I make videos fullscreen, it's just a black screen the first time. I exit fullscreen and do it again and then it works. Sometimes the video for that freezes, too, but less often.
I've tried uncommenting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and that doesn't help. In fact, if I try a fullscreen video with that uncommented, the X server crashes when I try to exit fullscreen.
I've got an intel video card and I've tried playing with xorg.conf enabling EXA with greedy MigrationHeuristic, UXA, XAA, I've tried turning off tiling. Nothing works. And I'm not using compiz or anything like that. I've tried everything I know. Anybody have any other suggestions??? (Please...?)

HT204291 I cannot get video to play from my iPad. I don't use this function often but it do work several upgrades ago. The audio plays fine but no video....... Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

I do not use the function very often but AirPlay has worked fine in the past (several OS updates ago on both iPad and apple tv). The audio plays fine but no video???? Any suggestions.

interesting...... you know i tried other media and it worked fine. i was trying to play 'amazon instant video'. when you say 'blocked ... by the providor' it seems to me that Amazon would have no interest in restricting the play. is it the producer of the content that resticts the play through some form of licensing or is it apple that restricts amazon play by limiting access to technology? either way its anti-competitive.

Videos appear garbled, audio is fine

I'm on 8.0.1.11 on Windows XP (latest update). None of my videos, purchased or downloaded elsewhere, will play back appropriately. There is only garbled flashes of green and purple noise within the video playback window, or a black screen only, yet the audio plays fine. This never used to be an issue.

In order to ungarble my videos, I had to modify settings under Quicktime... Preferences, Advanced Settings and uncheck DirectX and use Safe mode GDI. I could not get any combination of DirectX to work with my NVIDIA dual monitor setup. After resetting to safe mode, exiting quicktime and exiting iTunes, videos played with proper resolution.

Some detached audio play fine but other half is not.

I am currently editing a video with iMovie11, I am a frequent user of iMovie but never had this issue before.
I detached audio from the video and some audio plays but other detached audio will not play. The weird thing is that the first half of the project plays fine, the other half this problem happens.
All videos were taken on the same day with the same camera, saved the same format... I didnt change any setting etc. Anyone have any idea what I can do?

hi Simba-Tiger
That's really weird. As per the advice from Lunaserka, this needs to be addressed via our Residential Faults team.
You can find contact details for both phone and online reporting via Re: Report a phone or line fault
Hoping it's a quick resolution for you

Video hangs while transiting

The video hangs while transition though the music and the progress bar continue.

It occurs in the browser and in the project. The computer has a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card. I use an external firewire hard drive of 1 TB (400 GB left) or my projects. The internal drive is a 446 GB drive, 256 GB left. It doesn't solve the problem to move the project to the internal drive. I checked this already.
The problem occur on two other computers, too: an older Macbook Pro with 3 GB RAM and a white Macbook with 4 GB. Furthermore, it doesn't matter whether I run FCPX from another partition or with MacOS Snow Leopard. I reinstalled the program and removed all 3rd party codecs but it didn't help. Could be another bug on the long bug list. I sent a report to Apple.

Video hangs while playing but audio still keeps pl...

capturing a video works fine in my nokia c6-00. .but wen i play the captured video the video hangs for some minutes but the audio keeps on playing. i am saving the videos on mass storage 8gb sd with 5gb free space. software version m using is 40.

This is possibly a networking problem. If the Apple TV and router lose connection, or the speed is too slow, it stops loading, or buffers.
Test your internet speed several times to see if it drops or is just too slow.
Update you Apple TV if needed.

BluRay video plays for a few seconds then goes black...audio plays fine

I have several videos that are to play from a main menu, then return to the menu. On all of them, only a few seconds (ranging from 4 to 9 seconds) plays, then the screen goes black while the audio continues. This is happening with all videos. The menu structure is working fine, when I go to the end of each video the menu returns. I'm on a MAC, and all quicktime movies play fine in quicktime player. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Steve

I'm in the Windoze world, and don't do BluRay, so I have no idea if the Avid codec is your problem
I guess all I can suggest at this point is to Google for something like
Encore CS5 Avid Codec
and see if anything jumps out

Video: Audio plays fine. No picture though.

I am having trouble getting a video to play on team members ipads.
It is encoded as an MP4 h.264 and I am streaming it from a common server. It plays fine on my ipad, but my two team members get only audio and no picture. Ideas?

I think it had to do with the other two ipads being newer with retina displays. I re-encoded after reading another thread about retina displays, and now all is fine.
Here the answer that was helpful to me in figuring out the problem:
"The reason that the videos were playing on older iPads but not on the current iPad Air has to do with how the videos were encoded. The ones that didn't play on the air had been encoded with the Field Order set to Lower First. When that was changed to 'progressive', the videos played fine on all.
All mobile devices have progressive scan screens, so progressive is usually the right choice to make. I don't know any specifics why earlier iPad models would play interlaced footage and the Air doesn't, but I can make a guess... Apple has been quietly deprecating a bunch of earlier codecs and QuickTime options. This is most noticeable in Mavericks on the desktop. Now, for example, QuickTime files using Apple Animation codec sit and convert to ProRes when opening, since the Animation codec isn't in QuickTime anymore." Adobe viewer, iPad retina, videos

Audio plays fine, but video is now corrupt... green, distorted video window

I have various quicktime files on the pc that played fine but are now unable to be viewed. I have downloaded again, they play fine... but now a few days later... audio, but no video at all... not "scrambled", just video "noise", really.
I have reinstalled quicktime.
Any ideas??

"Green" gets me thinking about issues with DirectX on the PC.
Have you tried the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document? (iTunes uses QuickTime for video playback, so the same basic troubleshooting procedures apply.)

Dvd player not working after Instaling OS X 10.8.4 Video freezes while audio keeps playing

After installing OS X 10.8.4 I tried to play a DVD and the video starts to freeze up while audio keeps playing. Video eventually stops completely while audio continues to play. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

Try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the same problem occurs. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Video stalls but audio plays on

Quicktime Player Pro 7.1.3. When ever I try to view a .mov, or mpeg, the viewer freezes on the first image, but the audio track continues to play. The movies play fine in VLC, and even on other computers using QTP and Safari. Funny thing, is that in Safari, the movies do not play, yet they play fine on other computers, using Safari (1.3.2). The videos play fine on my computer, though only in Firefox. They play fine in iTunes, also.
So, why is this happening? Quicktime app not playing movies, now Safari not playing movies from websites (movies I have made)? There has to be a connection.
I have set up another user, and the problem still exists. I have tried reinstalling Quicktime, but problem still exists.
Snowball iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If Safari is the only browser you are having problems with dealing with QT see if the following is of any help:
To fix a QT related problem w/Safari, quit Safari & look in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (this is the Library folder at the root level of your HD, not the one inside your Users/user name folder).
Try removing the VLC Plugin.plugin (if you have it) & QT Plugin.plugin files from this folder, & then relaunch Safari. If the problem isn’t fixed, a different plug-in may be to blame. Keep removing files from this folder (start with any third-party plug-ins that are present) until the problem disappears.
Replace the plug-ins that don’t cause any problems.

My "Saved-for-iPod" mp4 video stops, while audio continues...

This has recently happened both with saving iMovie HD 6.0.4 projects as mp4s, and for DVD. 1) In iMovie, I imported a .mov I made in iPhoto (slideshow with jpegs & added music). Just that one file. I then saved it for iPod. I played it in iTunes, and the first minute is fine, but then the video "freezes" while the audio continues. Same thing happened when I synched it to my iPod. 2) In iMovie, I imported 5 avi files and added dissolve transitions. Sent to iDVD 6.0.4 and made a DVD. Same thing. The video image freezes at some point, and audio continues. I previously made DVDs successfully, by importing avi files to iMovie HD 6.0.2 & adding transitions. I can't figure out what could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I have the iPod Touch 32GB and my video podcasts do the same thing. The video portion just freezes randomly but the audio continues on. This happens with a variety of video podcasts on my Touch. Very annoying and unacceptable for unit in this price range. I would love to see a solution to this problem!
