Streaming video locks-up computer

Every time I try to stream video it locks the the screen and the audio sounds like a broken record ( about a second repeat). It has been doing this for some time. My wife uses this computer for mostly e-mail and surfing the web. Every time she runs a video it locks up.
Here is what I have done so far:
I ran the hardware test disk that came with the computer. Everything OK
I erased the hard drive using the 7-Pass erase and re-installed OS 10.4 updated to 11.
I installed i-stst pro and everything seems OK.
After doing all that , I tried to watch the new video announcing the new MacBooks via Safari and half way through the screen freezes and the audio repeats two out of three attempts otherwise the computer works great in every other way. Oh I did try several DVD videos I created on DVD studio pro and they all ran perfectly. Stop start etc. So maybe the problem is in streaming Video somehow.
I would really appreciate some help with this guys. Its driving me crazy.

Thanks a brody
I really hope that is the case. But let me fill in some blanks that I should have mentioned before. I have a G5 Power Mac with duel 2GHz and it streams video all day long and has never locked up. It works so good I can't justify an Intel Mac yet. I got my wife a new iBook 2.4GHz and it Streams video with out any problem. So it's hard to believe that it's the internet provider. I want to put the G4 on eBay, but I won't do it unless it is perfect. A Mac Tech I know in another state suggested it could be my ram or the HD, but they both test Okay.
The G4 display goes black or has horizontal lines when you move the display back and forth but otherwise has a bright and sharp display. I didn't mention that because I didn't think a shorted cable would effect streaming video. But maybe it could. I have ordered a new video cable and when I install that I guess I'll know but if it needs anything else It would be nice to know while its apart. But in the mean time if you can think of anything else I'll give it a try.

How can I stream video from my computer to my tv?

I want to know if and how I can stream video over my wireless network from my computer to my internet ready Sony TV. The TV is connected to an Airport Express.

Well you could go with the Apple TV, or you could just use the streaming functions built in to your Sony TV. As I don't know about Sony smart TVs I can't tell you anything about the TV's streaming functionality.

Live stream video bad for computer?

anybody knows if its a problem for the computer to be watching live stream video for a long time?
it does seem to get very hot.

I've been watching live streaming almost every night since the middle of April. Only recently have I noticed that sometimes the mbp does get hot. I notice the tendency to get hot is if I have other websites on my browser besides the one for the live streaming.
Sometimes if I can watch the live stream via QuickTime (similar to windows media link) that helps a great deal, and does not run hot, and the stream is better.

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 11. Everytime i go to save my finished videos to my computer or to my vimeo account, it stops working. WHY??

A message comes up saying that its not working properly and it closes.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
NOTE - McAfee kills the program http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1460089?tstart=0
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.

Playback of Streaming Video

Hi everyone!
It seems that I'm not able to view this streaming video from France by Fazz Music. After clicking on the link for the stream, a Safari window opens with a black background and with what looks like the QuickTime control bar.
Here are my settings for QuickTime...
System Preference > QuickTime > Browser > both selected/checked
1) Play movies automatically
2) Save movies in disk cache
System Preference > QuickTime > Advanced > MIME Settings > all selected/checked
Here are the versions of QuickTime and Safari that I'm using...
QuickTime 7.3.1
Safari 3.0.4
So why won't it play?
Thanks!

With regards to Perian, after downloading and installing it I checked Safari's list of 'Installed Plug-ins' and there's nothing there about Perian. Also, I didn't see the application or player anywhere within my HD. Shouldn't there be something, somewhere? Actually, I do see Perian.component under /Library/QuickTime.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

Streaming Video Capturing

Hello,
I would like to capture streaming video/audio (youtube, etc) as a quicktime, avi and so on. I heard about Snapz Pro X but that costs $70. I also heard that VLC could do it but I can't figure it out. How do I capture streaming video onto my computer for relatively cheap. The cheaper the better of course.
Thanks in advance.

iShowU ranges from $20 for the Standard Definition version to $30 for a HD version and $60 for a Pro version.
Regards
TD

My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
Thanks,
Charlotte

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

I want to save streaming video to watch later

Hi
I want to save streaming video to watch later, wma format, whatever
format is most common on the internet. Quick Time does not
open automatically when the streaming video starts but Windows Media
Player opens. What program is low cost that will save the video
stream that Quick Time Player or Windows Media Player can open?
thanks in advance

I want to save streaming video to watch later, wma format, whatever
format is most common on the internet. Quick Time does not
open automatically when the streaming video starts but Windows Media
Player opens. What program is low cost that will save the video
stream that Quick Time Player or Windows Media Player can open?As I see it, you basically have 3 main options:
1) Screen Capture -- Any streaming video that can be watched/listened to can be captured. Several applications are available that can do this but I generally prefer SnapzProX. This class of program essentially allows you to "record" the audio and video as it is being played back on your computer. This is normally done using a very simple but very fast codecs which create rather large files on your computer but which can then be transcoded to a more efficient format for playback whenever you wish.
ADVANTAGES: You end up with a fully self-contained copy of the media which can be locally archived, moved, copied, and is available as long as you keep the copy.
DISADVANTAGES: This approach can require large amounts of storage space depending on the commpression format used and the number of files stored. Depending on the material involved, this could constitute a copyright violation of media use.
2) Save As... -- If you have/purchase QT Pro and/or an appropriate third-party QT component (like Flip4Mac in this case), you open open/play the streaming file in the QT Pro Player and save a copy of the movie that contains a resource pointer to the online streaming server. For all intents, you have a "copy" of the file stored on your computer that can, within certain limits, be played back whenever you wish.
ADVANTAGES: Since the saved movies are very small, you can save a large number of them on your computer. Since they open and play just like standalone movies, they are very easy to use and share. Since control of the content remains with the orginator and access (public or limited) remains as intended by the originator, you would not be violating copyrights here.
DISADVANTAGES: Material may be changed, removed, or unavailable for one reason or another at any given time. Playback requires connection to the Internet.
3) Bookmark/URL List -- As a last resort, you can always bookmark or copy the relavent streaming server URL to a "hyperlink" list and open the media manually whenever you wish/are able to do so.
ADVANTAGES: Nothing to buy.
DISADVANTAGES: Requires extra effort on your part, still won't open in the QT Player, and still remains subject to the online vagaries mentioned above.

I have a brand new mini mac and a new apple TV. Both have been updated and can see my movies in itunes. I can use Netflix and stream music. I have tried to use my old laptop and it streams video fine. But my new computer only see a spinning circle.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

Need to save streaming video - what to do?

My apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I didn't know where to go...
There is a 30-second streaming video clip on the web that I would like to save/download for a legal promotional personal use.
Is there any macintosh software I can use to "grab" this file? I've read the source page as best I can, but it always leads to a non-linkable windows media file
Fast help would be appreciated. The file will only be only for a week.

Hi, J.
Snapz Pro X 2 with Movies will allow you to capture the video off the screen as it is played back. Not cheap: US$69 but it works superbly and is well-documented.
You can investigate other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!

Record Streaming Video from Computer

I need to "capture" streaming video that plays on a computer.
I can't seperate out the file, just need to record as it plays. If
Captivate can't do it, does anyone know of another program that
can?
Thanks much!

I have had this problem with TechSmith's software as well.
Try turning off video hardware acceleration.
Also, make sure you don't move anything once you've begun.
Oddly, even screen recordings made with TechSmith's Morae recording .NET 3 applicaitons can lose the content and present a black screen.
Here's the drill:
    Record a software interaction.
    Edit and export video. (If you move the editing window, the recorded image seems to stay where it was, but becomes invisible. Sort of like sliding a cropping guide off a picture and onto a table.)
    Launch video player and play recording
    Move video player.
    Recording disappears until you put player back where it was.
I've had similar problems with Camtasia and SnagIt.
