Video Clip - computer freeze
What can I do to prevent my computer from freezing up when I begin to run a video clip in iphoto
i photo 11 - - 9.2.1 (628)
I am not sure what operating system, and I don't see any place to readily see what the operating system is, but I bought the Mac computer a few months ago
Every once in a while iphoto says there was an error and that the database has to be repaired, but the repairs do not help.
I have a 8 gigabite PNY disc or chip (I am not sure what it is called) that goes into my Cannon camera that stores the data. The camera takes still shots and video. I have used it many times before and have downloaded and played pictures and video to iphoto before. This time, I took the disc and inserted it into the slot on the right hand side of the Mac.
When I ran the video clip at first it ran for a minute or two then froze the whole computer. I rebooted and tried it again with another couple video clips from the same disc and again it played for a minute or less then froze. Then I tried to play another couple video clips from another event that I downloaded a month ago and it also froze up the computer right away. Then I tried to play a video clip off a Safari website and it played fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am not particularly computer savy, as I am sure you can tell.
Thanks.

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
I believe its related to overheating ?
iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C, Fan rpms is around 1000
Any ideas somebody ?
The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
And
why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists. -
When I try to view video clips online via email or Facebook the clips keep stopping and starting.
How can I fix this?Most likely the problem is caused by the Flash plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin before reinstalling.
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari. -

My computer was working great for the longest time. Then all of a sudden, my video freezes (you tube and sites that use flash are really bad for freezing) and the sound repeats very fast (like a CD skipping but faster). I have done all the updates, tried firefox, chrome, and IE7, 8, 9 and 10. I removed my Radeon HD 6850 card from my tower and still freezes with on board video. Any help is appreciated. Windows 7 proffesional 64 bit IE 10. Intel Core I7, 12 gigs RAM.
I believe that error code does indeed imply a fan motor issue. That's what the "4MOT" means. I don't know how to decode the rest but that info may indicate which fan is failing. Not knowing how to decode that means you will have to try to inspect the fans yourself to see if they are all spinning. I think the only fix may be to replace the failing fan. And if that fan still fails you may have a logic board problem. Either way, not good news. Sorry.
Obviously I suggest you only try to inspect the fans when your machine starts behaving strangely again. Don't forget to check the fan in the video card too.
I'm assuming that when you say your machine freezes it hasn't had a thermal shutdown. In a thermal shutdown all the fans except a single exhaust fan will indeed stop. I'm basing this on my personal experience where my 5870 video card's fan wouldn't always spin up because it couldn't overcome its starting friction. The card would overheat, and the machine would shut down due to the thermal cutoff, all except a single exhaust fan. A new 5870 fixed my problem. But I'm mention this because it obviously doesn't make any sense to check the fans when the machine has this kind of cutoff. So I hope all your fans are still running when your machine freezes -- except the errant one of course. -
So ive recently have started having problems with my computer where i will be watching a video clip and after a random amount of time the video will just freeze then i my browser stops responding. I have to use task manager to kill the browser and when i start surfing the web again i can do everything except watch videos. The only way i have found to fix this problem is to reboot the computer and just hope that i can finish watching my show before it freezes again. I very strongly believe that it is flash because it only does this whenever there is a video clip being played. Ive also narrowed this down thinking that it was my computer registry or something so a few nights ago i did a format and then a clean install of windows 7 64 bit. Ive read that sometimes it is the antivirus software that causes this so when i reinstalled my os i didnt install any virus protection yet, before i was using avg though. I usually use firefox 3.6 when using the web but ive noticed that it crashes in IE and chrome. Ive included a screen capture of my extensions and plug ins for firefox to help out, anything else you want to know you just ask.
Thanks for all your help in advanceHi ae58, you are the second person within the last couple of hours that recommended the Advanced System Care Registry Cleaner.
Adobe has the Uninstaller procedures and the Install procedures for the Flash Player. As long as users follow them,
they should not have any problem.
Using Registry Cleaners are a risk greater than any benefit unless one is an Advanced User or an expert. I have
read all of the Microsoft Engineers and Registry Experts and they do not recommend them at all. In fact they state that
beginning with XP and forward there is no need for them.
Additionally, Adobe has information about 3rd party "Flash Player" cleaners also. And it appears "In some cases these
tools can actually cause further Flash Player problems."
So, as I mentioned on another thread where Advanced System Care was suggested, we'll just see what the real issue is
with the person that took the time to start this thread.
Glad you didn't have any lasting damage using them though.
Regards,

Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto? I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it. Thanks.
You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

Take it in for diagnosis/repair. I suspect you have a hardware problem (or problems).

Managing Video Clips and HD Storage; Psychedelic stripes when iMovie freezs
I have read the posts on subj, but wanted to clarify the ff:
As someone suggested, good idea to save the original clips and just copy/paste them into timeline so that i can edit them as much as I want. Have done so but obviously taking up much space. Once I complete with my Project (but have NOT shared it yet with iDvd NOR imported them into iDVD):
1) can i now delete all the original clips in the Clips Pane? (it wont be like iPhoto where after deleting the pix, the pix are lost from the Books, or other projects?)
2) how do i save the original clips in the Clips Pane to a DVD. Do i use Export on iMovie? Or do i use Import from iDVD?
3) if I am working on several Projects, say Project 1 and Project 2, but want to use the Clips from Clips Pane in Project 1 in Project 2, how do I do that? In other words, can I make iMovie Project 1 as the repository of all my imported video clips (but not make any movie from it), then use those clips for iMovie Project 2, 3, 4 etc....... and how do I do that?
4) Further to #3, say I really wanted to end up with just one movie - say Europe Trip, but because I wanted to work on more manageable file sizes, I split them up so I have Project 1 say Paris, Project 2 say Italy etc. fearing that iMovie cannot handle too big file sizes. I was thinking of consolidating them all thru iDVD but what I expect would happen is that since I make chapters on iMovie, once I import Paris Project and Italy Project into one movie in iDVD, I will end up having two chapters or Chapter 1, two of Chapter 2, etc. Is there a way of avoiding that?
I suppose you an guess at my current predicament. My file sizes are just getting bigger and I have the same clips on Project 1 as I have in Project 2 and 3 when they all actually pertain to the same Europe trip that I want to make One movie on.
Finally iMovie often freezes on me and then the whole picture in the screen becomes one big colored zig zag stripes. I cannot playback or do other commands. The only way to get rid of it is if I reboot my iMac. I didnt have this problem before on my MBP. Could it be bec of Leopard in my iMac?
Thanks in advance to whoever responds.
Cheers
RaissaIt really shouldn't take very long to load video clips. It might take a long time to generate thumbnails the first time through, but from then on, it is lightning quick, because you are only shooting a few movies between times you open imovie.
While I haven't had the problem you describe, some other people have reported a similar problem.
Imagine a scenario where iMovie generates all the thumbnails and caches that it needs, but is unable to save them to disk. In this case, when you restart iMovie the next time, it would have to start from scratch and generate all the thumbnails again. This would certainly slow things down.
That scenario could happen if your disk permissions are in need of repair. You can repair permissions by using Disk Utility, which is in your Applications/Utilities folder. It is a good idea to repair permissions periodically, and certainly every time you update OSX.
I repair permissions every night as part of a script that runs when I do an unattended SuperDuper backup late at night. This is probably overkill, but at least I never have to worry about it.
Personally, I have several terabytes of movies in iMovie, and everything runs quickly. Most of my events are camcorder movies which are stored in iMovie. However, I have hundreds of short clips taken by still cameras, and I leave these in iPhoto. -
Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?
Hi -
I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.
The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that. The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage. The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression. In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu, and burned a DVD.
The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again. It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure. It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played? What can I do to fix this?
TIA some expert advice.
JLWhile I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
Good luck,

I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Has Lion problems with this?
Ulf, SwedenUse the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
