Slow when watching movie trailers

Hi there
I encounter a very annoying problem. When I'm watching a trailer using Front Row, it won't play without stopping once or even twice. It stalls and then a blue progress bar comes up at the bottom of the screen, and it seems to download the trailer again...
What's the problem with the way trailers are being played within Front Row ? Maybe Apple might give us more bandwidth ?

I Alllllmost wrote a nasty-gram to Apple a little while ago but after seeing all of the posts here in this, I backed down. I totally miss the old FR and the way it played trailers... and I'm a trailer junkie! While watching the new CJ4 trailer, it paused as the others do and really riled me up! Anyway, do you guys think we'll see a chage any time soon? My upgrade to 10.5.2 didn't fix didley!

  • I-tv slow when watching movies from i-tunes

    How come movies I want to see from i-tunes has to be almost fully downloaded before i can start see the movie. I do not have same problems when i watch netflex..

    Netflix will adapt to the connection, iTunes content is at a fixed rate and will need to load a portion before playback begins. The time it takes is dependent on your network.

  • My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver.  Everything works fine when watching movies.  When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

  • Freezing video when watching movie on 2nd monitor.

    Freezing fregrently for a second video when watching movie with ful screen option.

    You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

  • Air Screen Dims when watching movies

    Hi all! This is a stupid question. I've just purchased a new macbook air 11.6 in and when watching movies (not in ful screen) the screen dims, Im assuming because of inactivity with keyboard, etc. I dont like to watch all movies in full screen, so how do I change the settings to allow for longer 'inactive' times? Meaning, I don't want the screen to dim after only 5 minutes. Thanks!

    In System Preferences > Energy Saver > uncheck "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep"
    Also adjust the sleep timer to suit.

  • I just installed quicktime 7.7.2 to watch movie trailers, works but no sound

    I just installed quicktime 7.7.2 to watch movie trailers on http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.  It plays the trailers OK but there's no sound.  Any ideas?  I have Windows XP. 
    Quicktime installation also changed the association on an m4v movie that played perfectly with the VLC movie player, but plays real jerky with the QT player and also there's no sound.  Any ideas?
    Thnx

    I just installed OuickTime 7 Pro in my Mac Pro Ver 10.6.8. The video I am trying to view is codec h264 Compression dvcpro 50 hd. I have audio but no video. It says I need other software with QuickTime for it to work. Dose anyone know what I need?
    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

  • When watching movie on ATP2 the display of computer never sleeps

    When watching movies on ATV2 the display of computer will not go to sleep. After fiddling with setting both on computer as well as ATV2 the problem still persists. This coincidentally happened after lastest upgrade never had the problem with last firmware. Is anybody having the same problems?.

    when the computer fall asleep it power down it's harddisk and it's netcard
    so you would likely be more bothered if it did fall asleep because then you're atv2 would
    lose the access to the media if you play media from your shared itune lib

  • How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?

    I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.

    Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

  • Cannot watch movie trailers

    I have only just gone wireless and now my trusted ATV has access to the internet! All good stuff, YouTube works fine, syncing all works fine but when I click on Movie Trailers I get a message saying 'Downloading trailers' with a spinning wheel which I left overnight. In the morning it was still doing it so I cancelled as I guessed it wasn't working seeing as YouTube content is almost instant ! Any ideas ? Do I need to activate anything in iTunes? Do I need to leave it longer? I have my ATV hooked up to a standard def LCD TV if that helps !

    Sounds like a server problem. Hopefully it will pass.
    Under Settings (firmware 1.1) you can choose your local iTunes store location so you could set it to somewhere else to see if it's a local issue or not.
    If you can see YouTube content then you're connected to the internet.
    Only other thing could be some odd port blocking if YouTube and iTunes trailers work on different ports on AppleTV.

  • Bad sound when watching movies etc..

    Hi,
    I bought an Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable @ ebay a while back, and recently Ive started using it with my macbook air (running OS X Mountain Lion)
    I have this hooked up to my receiver and the image quality is superb, but the sound is not that great..
    I often use to watch movies (.mkv files) and all movies have very poor sound quality. Even when its DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1..
    Have someone experienced something like this?

    Anyone ???? I doubt I am the only one who have had this problem..
