Sound from videos stops after a few seconds on Quicktime

I bought a new Samsung camera and took some videos at a concert. When I put the videos on my MacBook Pro and try to play them on Quicktime, the sound stops after a few seconds. When I try to play them on iMovie or use them in iMovie, not only is there no sound after a few seconds but the sound that is there is sped up.
The audio works fine in VLC but doesn't seem to work with anything else on my Mac. I've tried Perian, Flip4Mac...
Codecs: H.264, AAC
Help?

I've seen this issue in the past.  I think it is connected to the operating system itself.  I say this because I reinstalled the os using itunes and then restored a backup.  Then garageband started behaving again.  Then the issue came back - after I did an os update.  So I'd try reverting back to a fresh version of the latest os, and then restoring your apps using a backup.
Hope it helps

    Hello GrahamBIOM,
    I understand while viewing a video or listening to some different content, you lose audio, is that correct? I will do all I can to assist you with this issue.
    Does the issue occur when you have headphones inserted? If you are not sure, if you have a set of headphones available could you test that please?
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience with results.
    Thanks

    on my ipad 2 video streaming stops after a few seconds, only sound is playing .what could be the reason and how to solve this problem.
    I have a feeling that it may have started after upgrading to ios6.

    Hi,
    Is this failing with Error 20 ?
    Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
    The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
    As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
    iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
    iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
    If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

  • Sound stops after a few seconds

    I have a HP G61, Product Code VY441EA#ABU. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Audio stops after a few seconds. This happens on TV i-players, BBC News website clips, football streaming sites, even the HP Support site's tutorials. I have done a System Restore to a point when I know this was not a problem.  I have downloaded the audio driver for my laptop from the HP site. I have tried the MS audio troubleshoot fix, which found no problems. I would sure be grateful for any other ideas to try!

  • Video stopps after a few seconds

    I have a problem playing longer videos on my ipod 60gb. If I load a short video, like 4 minutes, it will play until the end. But if I load a complete movie, like more than an hour, the video will stop after a few seconds. After a short break it continues playing without sound. So, if I stop it by myself and start over it continues playing with sound. But only for a few seconds...then, it stops again.
    What's wrong?

    Hi Patrick,
    Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
    What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
    Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
    2. Then apply these instructions:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Your problem should be 100% solved

    my bootcamp download stops after a few seconds. it takes forever but does not move. Could someone help?

    For Windows Support Software: the download size is around 600MB - 1GB. Depends on your Mac Model. There are server problems but a good idea is to check from iStat menu's or something else if there is some activity.
    Also, make sure that in your network settings:
    Uncheck Automatic Proxy Detection
    Uncheck Passive FTP Mode

  • Photoshop CC 2014 stop after a few seconds

    I'm a CC subscriber and I recently updated my photoshop CC to photoshop CC 2014.
    I can start Photoshop but it automatically stops after a few seconds. I've already tried to uninstall / install multiple times without any success.
    When I read the file "amt3.log" in my temp dir, I can see "[ERROR] |  |  |  | AMT |  |  | 7188 | ERROR: Failure Validating Product License!".
    So it seems like a licensing issue.
    Did anyone faced this issue?
    Thanks for your help

    I have the exact same error on the log file. I even tried the "nuclear solution" with no more results...
    But as I tested the nuclear solution, I uninstalled Lightroom (which worked fine) and I've got the same issue, but I solved it by manually installing it (i.e without using the cc application) and it worked fine.
    The installer I used for ligthroom : https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
    However, I can't get my hands on a similar installer for Photoshop CC.

  • Audio recording stops after a few seconds on iPad 1. Any suggestions?, Audio recording stops after a few seconds on iPad 1. Any suggestions?

    On an IPad 1 even after a full restart, and only application running, I'm finding that Audio recoding stops after a few seconds. The duration seems to be fairly random between 5 seconds to 25 seconds. Creating other tracks seems OK.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I've seen this issue in the past.  I think it is connected to the operating system itself.  I say this because I reinstalled the os using itunes and then restored a backup.  Then garageband started behaving again.  Then the issue came back - after I did an os update.  So I'd try reverting back to a fresh version of the latest os, and then restoring your apps using a backup.
    Hope it helps

    What could be wrong with my ipad?  it stops after a few seconds with "slide to power off" noted. 

    Settings are OK, but the internal power supply is on the verge of failure. Soon, you will not be able to turn the Time Capsule on at all after it turns off.
    Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
    Otherwise, contact Apple Support.
