That odd Apple Video Player

Ok long time no post i have made posts here in the past but i got caught up in some work and have had no time to help out.
Well i was using my Wings card to watch TV on my Beige Minitower and i decided to take some snap shots of the show and i also took a movie of an old commercial on a tape, so it shows the pictures fine but the movie plays the video part fine but the audio was slow but i saved it anyways, i have had this problem for a while and it bugs me, so i put the pictures and the movie onto a USB memory stick and brought it over to the mini. The mini did not recognize the files it gave them an executable script icon so i dragged the movie to Quicktime 7 and it does not recognize the file it gives an error and so i try VLC gives me an error so i try to open the pictures but it does a similar thing.
Anyone know what is going on, does my Quicktime need an update on the beige? or did the files transfer wrong?
Thanks

David,
It looks like your questions about the pea soup was answered. I have done video stuff on the G3 in the past and it isn't unusual for the video and audio to get out of synch. QT mutator will let you go in and edit the track lengths of the two tracks to get them back together.
In general you're asking a lot of a G3 to handle video. You''ll also find that video as saved by Apple Video Player really eats up harddrive space fast. There's MP4 encoders (codecs) out there that will give you as good quality as its available with a Wings card but they raised another set of issues on my G3.
If you're into encoding with the G3 on OS9 then I'd suggest HackTV Carbon which is available as a free download from Apple if you can find it (it's hidden somewhere on the developer's site). This will give you access to more feeatures than AVP. The only thing is, it is happier with QT5 than QT6 so I have two versions of my OS and switch to QT5 when I want to record.

  • Apple Video Player stops working

    I have a Performa 6500/225 running OS 9.1. I also have a (vintage) Apple Video Conference webcam. Along with that I have an original Apple external hard drive. I have the Apple Video Player software on the internal hard drive. For some reason it seems to conflict with a CAD program I have on the external hard drive.
    I have tried the clean install as was recommended previously. The AVP will work until I retweak everything. If AVP is working properly then my CAD program doesn't.This is strange because the AVP parts are not on the external drive and the CAD parts are not on the internal drive. Doing a clean install doesn't seem to be the answer. Does anyone know of a way to work around this or perhaps another older driver I might be able to use with my Apple Video Conference cam?
    Performa 6500/225   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    I missed the earlier discussion but this may be an extension conflict. Apple Video Player comes, I believe, with an extension that is present in your System folder. That extension will always load to some extent when you start your computer, even if you aren't actually running the application. So AVP is always running to a small degree even if the full application isn't. The CAD program may have its own extensions that may also be conflicting with AVP.
    If it is an extension conflict then you may have to deal with it by using extensions manager to build two different sets of extensions for when you want to use the different programs and restart in between(yeah, a pain). Alternatively you can sometimes get around these conflicts by renaming you culprit extensions so they load in a different order (for example, by putting putting a "z" in front of one name, though that's usually to address conflicts that causes freezes at startup.
    Normally it doesn't matter where you keep applications in terms of drives - that doesn't cause conflicts or resolve them. It's when they are running, or they have extensions that start when you boot your computer that causes the problem.
    One other thing you could try would be to upgrade your computer OS to 9.2.2. Maybe things would run more cleanly under the newer OS. The upgrades from 9.1 would be free so there's no harm in trying.

  • Apple Video Player Replacement

    I just got a PowerMac G3 with a/v in out to replace my Quadra 840av. The main purpose of this system is to convert S-Video to RBG(VGA). System came with 10.2.8 installed and no System 9 folder. :O So I replaced the noisy HDD and added some more ram. Then I installed OS 9 and updated it to 9.2.2. After that I put 10.3 on a sperate partition. For the **** of it I tried runing Apple Video Player in classic mode, but ofcourse it didn't work.
    So I was wondering, is there a program out there for OSX that will display the S-Video in? Otherwise todo what I need todo I'll just have to boot into OS9.
    P.S. I noticed that the S-Video in on the Quadra and the G3 have the same connector as a/v multi outs on most modern computers. Is there a way to use a component dongle with it? I tried using one but niether systems liked on Apple Video Player.

    'fraid so Unfortunately it got left behind in the transition to OSX. I guess there weren't enough machines out there to make it worth it, especially since a 300MHz isn't exactly the hottest machine out there for doing video.

  • Get rid of iTunes TV shows icons "to buy" in apple video player iPad?

    When I look at tv shows in video player on iPad, the window is clogged up with many icons for awful tv shows that Apple wants me to buy.
    How do I get rid of these?

    You only see those shows if you tap on Episodes and then tap on Show Complete Season. Try tapping TV Shows in the upper left corner to go back to your main TV shows section of the videos app.
    Either that or you are confusing these shows that you have purchased and are showing as being in iCloud. You can remove those by going to Settings>ITunes and App Stores>Show All>Videos>Off.

  • Video Player Suggestions

    I use my iPhone for watching tons of movies. I have a large library of videos that I sync to my iPhone (for long trips), but have found that the the video player could use a few minor adjustments that would be really helpful.
    -An 8-second rewind button (similar to the iTunes Remote App)
    -A Coverflow for the videos (exactly like the Coverflow in the Music App)
    -Playlists for videos (exactly like the Music App)

  • Multimedia and video player

    Im at a lose on where are what to do at this point. I need to find whats missing from my pcs operating system that is causeing it to slow down and lag when using any function or app that requires a video player. can anyone give me some suggestions on how to remdee this problem. all the basic restart and updates arent helping.

    Cjamesj, welcome to the forum.
    I suggest updating Adobe Flash Player to see if that solves your problem.  In not, you may want to do a System Recovery.  This will return your computer to its original configuration.  If you decide to do this, you should backup your personal data.

    If the videos are .wmv files, VLC from VideoLAN will play them and pretty much any other media format.

  • Buttons over video is crashing Apple DVD player!

    I have 4 menus (tracks) that use buttons over video. The first one plays just fine- the buttons come up after a second & disappear 30 seconds later(then the menu continues into a film). The other 3 menus crash 1-2 seconds before the buttons over video forces the subtitle to become visible. here's what i've done to troubleshoot:
    -set a different menu to be first play
    -swapped out the m2v/ac3 files to see if that was causing the issue
    -moved my menus/tracks to different VTSs (using dvdsp 4)
    -shifted the hi-lite markers forward and back to various times
    -swapped out the overlay file
    All my tracks were created exactly the same- using the same BOV structure (13 buttons in all)... I'm completely baffled. One works fine and the rest don't work at all!!
    p.s. i burned the disc and tested it on a regular dvd player.. seems to work fine, but it still crashes on the computer.
    PowermacG4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   DVD Studio Pro 4

    I figured out the problem so I'll wrap up the thread in case someone else runs into this problem...
    I was using dvdSP's ability to "offset" the overlay file in order to make my highlights match up perfectly. For some reason if the offset differs from one overlay to the next in the same subtitle stream, it causes apple dvd player to crash.
    example:
    (all motion menus were created on one track with BOV & then separated into stories for easy targeting)
    subtile(BOV) 1 had an overlay file offset to 0x & -4y & subtitle(BOV)2, my second menu, had an overlay file offset to 3x & -1y.
    The first one would play fine, but as soon as apple dvd player detected the next subtitle it would crash. I solved the problem by editing my overlay files in photoshop to compensate for the offsets & leaving the offset in DVDSP untouched. weird... but it works now.

  • Hi, Could you please suggest a video player, that support all video formats?

    This is probably as good as it gets:

    You won't find anything that plays "all video formats", because of the restrictions built into the iOS.

  • How do I export an IMovie to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    How do I export an iMovie '13 to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    Use iDVD to do it. Select and click "Share" at the top of the window in the menu bar of iMovie, and you can find "iDVD". But  have you got iDVD installed on your Mac? If not, please check https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4821 to reinstall it. If you have no iDVD installed and don't want to reinstall it either, you can use other DVD creator software to help you burn iMovie to DVD.

  • I recently made firefox my home page and it always tells me I need to upgrade to the latest version of adobe flash player which is already installed on my computer. It neve allows me to view the videos that require a flash player?????? [SOLVED]

    I can no longer play any video that requires a flash player even though it is installed on my computer

    I solved the problem through trial, error then success

  • Unsolicited by me, a new tab will open saying I need a new video player or PC cleaner. Why? And how do I stop that?

    Sometimes, when Firefox has been open on my laptop for a few minutes but I've not been active on it, a new tab will automatically open up with a message saying, for example, that I should download a new video player or some PC cleaner software. I know it must be some kind of spam or malware, and I normally just close the tab, but I'm curious as to why this happens and how I can stop it from happening again.

    That says a plugin needs updating. Open '''''Firefox > Add-ons > Plugins'''''.
    Above the first plugin is a link that will check your plugins. Please use it.

    Skyfire is Not the answer! Bad reviews and you have to pay to try.
    I used Puffin Free Browser. Worked perfectly with a 14 day free trial for Flash. It worked well for Flash videos so I would buy the full version.
