Trouble with movie buffering

I have just installed first generation Apple TV, connected wirelessly to iTunes on a PC. Tested download speed hovers around 6 mbps. Movies are local on hard drive. When I select a movie it takes several MINUTES to recognize and when it does start playing, it will stop every few minutes and buffer up. I can speed up the start process by watching in on the PC first, for a couple of minutes, and then switching back to the Apple TV. Apple Care has cleared the Apple TV from a settings and diagnostic position. Any other ideas? Would the new 2nd generation device help with this?

internet speed or local wifi network speed?

sounds like you have a poor wifi network with interference. your internet connection speed has nothing to do with this (which is what i suspect you mean when you said 6mbps).

  • Trouble with .mov

    Hi,
    I've got two mp4 video files that I want to put together to make one file. QT pro worked brilliantly except that it would only let me save as a .mov
    I tried converting the .mov to mp4 using both QT and Visual Hub but even on the highest settings there were very obvious artifacts in the video that weren't there before.
    Seeing has it's the same h.264 footage in the .mov that was two original .mp4s is there a way to simply change the "wrapper"? I seem to recall pass-through encoding in quicktime but can't seem to find it any more.
    Otherwise some way to force quicktime to save in .mp4 instead of .mov
    Any light shedded on the matter would help, thank you

    Thanks for your help guys:
    1) I remember being able to pass-through in QT6 but still can't find anything similar in QT7
    2) MPEG streamclip's encoding gave me the same result as quicktime, you can see alot of artifacts, whereas the original h.264 you can't. But a great app, much faster than QT
    I'm being very picky with quality here so don't worry too much. I just assumed there would be an easy way to stitch two files of the same type together into one big file without having to go through the trouble of re-encoding.
    Cheers

  • Trouble with movie camera and terminology

    Is there a reason I cannot transfer my movies from my camera to my computer?  My camera is an Everio JVC movie camera.  I have a hard time telling what the distinction is between a camcorder and a movie camera also. 
    On the device it has two choices for sending pictures, one is for "playback on my pc"  and the other is "upload"  I have tried both.  The strange thing is that when I first tried one of the choice the data was transferred to my computer, but now when I try either one, iMovie does not open to act like it is recognizing the signal from the usb.

    JVC released the Quicktime Components update:
    <http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm>
    which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:
    The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
    Here are a few basics:
    1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should  be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
    2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

  • Trouble with mov Photo JPEG

    Hi folks,
    I need to edit Photo JPEG and MJPEG files in Quicktime (mov) format on Windows 7 in Premiere Pro CS5. When I play the files from Quicktime player, they play fine, in 1280x720. But when I import them into Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, it tells me they are 160x120. If I scale them up I just get jaggy blurry artifacts. Actually I've noticed in Quicktime that they'll open by default as 160x120, and only when I select "Normal Size" do they play at 1280x720. These files also played just fine in VLC even before I installed Quicktime.
    Any idea why Premiere thinks they are 160x120? How can I get it to recognize these files at the correct size of 1280x720?
    Thanks,
    Lyle

  • Having trouble with movie rentals...

    The movie loads, and when I hit the Play button, I get "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."  This is not the first time... I tried renting another movie before and had some exchanges with Apple getting a refund for the movie I rented but could not watch.  help?

    Every time... downloading the same movie via my computer, and its going to take 8 hr.  That cannot possibly be right.  I watch Netflix with this setup frequently.
    I just want to be able to rent movies from Apple, which are not as expensive as Dish network.

  • Trouble with movie project

    I created a movie in Final Cut Pro then exported it to Quicktime. I'm trying to get it into iDVD 4 so I can burn it onto a DVD that will play in a DVD player. I was able to import my own black background. I'm still have trouble getting the title iDVD wants to automatically create off the screen. The bigger problem, though, is when I burned the project there was no audio. Am I importing the quicktime file incorrectly?
    Is there some other program I can use to create a DVD? I'm on a deadline and neeed to get this figured out soon.

    If iDVD 4 is like iDVD 8, you'll find the "Save as Disc Image" option right under "Burn DVD" on the File menu.
    It isn't. That feature, creating a disk image, was not added until later although I don't recall if it was v5 or v6, but v4 definitely does not have it.
    Instead, there is a hack to make iDVD 4 create disk images. See this page for further details...

  • Newbie - Trouble with movie embedded in a button

    How do I get it to not play again after clicking? I realize
    it is responding this way because after I click, I am technically
    "mousing over" because my mouse is still there. Do I need to do
    this differently or is there some simple text I can add so that it
    doesn't play again?

    Acrobat 8 and earlier depend on QuickTime to handle SWF files. But QuickTime now only supports very old versions of Flash. Hence SWF support is broken.
    However, Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 use Flash Runtime and handle SWF and FLV files natively. They don't require QuickTime to handle these formats.

    I have a Lucid 2 LG.  I have been having trouble with insuffient storage.  I have a 8G phone and have spent hours with Tier 2 tech trying to move info from the internal storage to the SD card with no luck,  When I go to storage in the settings it states that over 4 gigs is for Misc?  System data takes up over 4 gigs.  No one can tell me what system data consist of.  So My question is does anyone know what system data is?  I am assuming I have a 8 gigphone but can only use 4 gigs???

    System data is the OS or operating system.  That is where the recovery stays separated from the rest of the storage so that it doesn't get corrupted.  It is not accessible and non-movable.

    Yes, thank you.  My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that. 
    Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

  • Hi! I'm from Brazil and I'm having troubles with subtitles. Watching movies from iTunes and Netflix, the subtitles shows yellow, too small and into gray boxes! I'm having this kind of trouble with my iPad also.

    Watching movies from iTunes and Netflix, the subtitles shows yellow, too small and into gray boxes! I'm having this kind of trouble with my iPad also.

    Solution found.
    I am a Vodafone customer and installed the Vodafone app which asks you to turn off wifi connection on installation as it needs to communicate with their servers over 3G.
    After restoring the iPad via iTunes this is the only app that I did nor re-install and seems to be too much of coincidence that while in full screen view watching films my wifi is switched off and 3G data connection is established 10 - 15 minutes into a fiilm and my data allowance gets eaten up!
    I would also get push notifications from Vodafone saying "my daily data usage was almost used" with this app installed.
    Have tested and on 3rd time watching sky go still wifi is on after 30 mins.
    DO NOT INSTALL VODAFONE APP FROM THE APP STORE.

  • Trouble Syncing Movies/TV Shows in iTunes with iPad 2

    I have read serveral posts on here with similar questions, however, none of the responses have resolved my issue.
    I am having trouble loading movies and TV shows from my MacBook Air to my iPad 2. 
    I have a MacBook Air (running 10.7.2 with iTunes 10.5.1).   I am unable to sync certain movies and TV shows to my iPad (running iOS 5.0.1).  These are files purchased from the iTunes Store.  There is also a 27" iMac and MacBook Pro associated with my Apple ID. 
    Syncing the device yields an error message reading "Some of the items in the iTunes library, inlcuding "The Help", were not copied to the iPad "DGaken's iPad" because you are not authorized for them on this computer.  To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, chose Store > Auhtorize This Computer."
    Files that have been affected include recently purchased movies and TV episodes (including "The Help, a season pass of "Parks & Recreation, and "30 Minutes or Less."  Each file was purchased in iTunes using the same Apple ID.  When I click on "My Account" in the iTunes Store and click the "Manage Devices" on the iCould tab I can see that my iPad 2 is listed as a device associated with my Apple ID.  I have confirmed (by clicking on the actual file in iTunes and click "Get Info") that the files are associated with my Apple ID.
    Now, for the TV episodes I am able to visit the iTunes store on my iPad and click "buy" on them, then it informs me that I have already purchased this item and asks if I want to download it again.  For movies it does let me know that I have previously purchased the item, but instead it offers me the opportunity "Buy Item Again?"
    I have also clicked "Deauhorize All Computers" in the iTunes store and re-authorized each device and computer. 
    It should also be noted that I recently changed my Apple ID (form a .edu address to a Gmail account as my .edu server was unable to work with iCloud).  There seems to be no correlation between which items. 
    Please advise!

    I have the exact same problem. I've tried all the trouble shooting that was suggested by the people I spoke with at the Genius Bar, Apple Care, and iTunes, but nothing has worked and no one seems to know how to resolve this issue. To their suprise, all of my devices have been activated (then deactivated and re-activated twice) for this account and all movies were purchased with the same account via iTunes, yet I still get the same error message that you get. I was also told to delete the movie file from my computer and redownload it and sync again, but that also did not work.
    I've even tried downloading movies via icloud directly to my iPad as a temporary work around. This works, but when I sync my iPad again to my computer, I get the error message again and the movie is automatically erased from my device. Please let me know if you were able to resolve the issue, I don't know where else to turn and I'm tired of explaining this on the phone to everyone!!! Mahalo.
