Video display problems using QuickTime 7.5.5

Hi,
I am currently having issues displaying videos in all formats in Quicktime 7.5.5, particularly those with a medium or large frame size.
A link to a screenshot is given below:
http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pq2IbXxS
As you can see, the video is not displaying properly - some of the left-hand side of the frame is being replicated on the right-hand side, in a sort of split-screen effect - I don't know the technical terms for that problem, but it is a bit annoying to say the least!!
I have noticed that smaller videos (e.g. some mobile phone videos with a 176x144 size) are not suffering this problem with video display - but the questions I have are: what is going wrong, and how do I fix this?
Thank you in anticipation of your help!
James (mr_m)

Still having the problem unfortunately; if anyone can help, it'd be appreciated!

it worked fine for 11 months .. i started using the laptop for more time these days around 10 hrs a day or so . yesterday morning when switched on the laptop the screen is blank and only quick launch buttons are blinking and caps lock buton .. i connected the laptop to a working monitor but no response .
i took it to service centre in INDIA and they changed the RAM and exchanged the slots of RAMS but it didnt work ..and they said there is no warrenty for that models in INDIA ..
i finally went to 3rd party repair shop and they said its due to defective video chip .. it needs to be replaced and they are getting many laptops with similar problems like this ...
is there any way to fix that ? wat am i to do so that i dont ge t these type of problems again ?

lease can anyone tell me wat to do ?
shall i get it repaired by 3rd party as i cant send it to USA again .. are the video chips in this model really defective ?
thank you all ..........waiting for your responses....

Hello!
I just wanted to share my video display problem. Mine is a tx2-1375dx. When is turned ON cold, it shows rubbish, like the sequence shown next. The problem persists using an external video display or projector.
Then, instead, I warm up the back of the display with a hair dryer, not too much, but that feel the heat has transfered inside, the Tx2 runs just fine. I also keep a fan cooling pad underneath instead of having the inner fan run 24x7.
So I guess the video chip has a thermal sensor that is being signaled when the display is warm and then runs fine. This would mean part of the functionality of the video chip may have been compromised by heat on the motherboard.
Too bad a promising machine was so poorly designed inside. It becomes too hot to put on your lap, so is no longer a "laptop".
So now, my other thing on my backpack to work is a hair dryer!

Hello to all: My iMac has developed a video display problem. It displays everything in cartoon like colors - purple, green, blue. Can this be repaired? Is there a way to output to a different monitor? Thanks in advance! isplays

Hello -
My iMac has developed a video display problem. Everything now appears in a strange, cartoonish way. Purples, greens, blues. Can this be fixed, and if so, any idea how much it might cost? Also, could I output to a seperate monitor? I plan to replace the unit , but cannot right now. Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing.
In the Display area, reset it to "Black on white" by clicking that checkbox.
You can also reset it by pressing Command-Option-Control-8

Exporting Video to Desktop using Quicktime

I am having problems with iMovie's YouTube uploader (get a message saying I can't upload movies larger than 10 minutes to YT) so YouTube advised me to use theirs. My video is 10 1/2 minutes.
Should I use Export Movie or Export using Quicktime?
Please let me know if these QT settings are correct to export my movie. This particular movie is a 16:9 Widescreen movie.
Also how do I get a movie that is exported usin QT and then uploaded to YT to default to high definition? My videos never seem to be HD.

I think the Folks @ YouTube can help you with this:

Video masking problem in Quicktime Pro 7.5.5

I've been using Quicktime for Windows for some time. I have had Quicktime Pro 7, and upgraded as needed (when Itunes says so). I've discovered that I can no longer mask videos with Quicktime 7.5.5 When I mask the video track as usual by adding an image, the video frame starts to resize, but then freezes, and quicktime quits running. I can still mask videos if I uninstall 7.5.5 run an earlier version of Quicktime 7...but then Itunes doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

QuickTimeKirk,

Additionally, this prompt comes up:

When I access this page, there is a variety of QT Components available. I have read them, tried a few but no luck yet. Here's the link. Maybe you can tell me which (if any) component will solve this problem.

Compressing video for iPod using QuickTime 7 Pro ("expert")

Hi all,
I purchased QuickTime 7 Pro thinking I would be able to compress 640x480 H.264 video for an iPod. I have a specific application that requires precise control over the compression -- that is, the no-option "Movie to iPod" export setting ain't gonna cut it.
I have tried many, many different setting combinations using "Movie to MPEG-4" and "Movie to QuickTime Movie" under "File" --> "Export" in QuickTime, and I have been careful to limit sizes and bitrates per iPod tech specs as published on the Apple Web site. However, while all of the H.264 files I have output will open in iTunes, none of them will sync to my iPod. Videos I output using standard MPEG-4 compression will sync to my iPod (and look awful), but videos using H.264 will not.
Does anyone know what settings I can use to export 640x480 H.264 video to my iPod, and how I can have more control over the process than just "Movie to iPod?"
Thanks!
-- Joey
What I got (the technical details):
WinXP Pro with all the latest updates on Intel
5G 60GB iPod w/ firmware ver 1.2
QuickTime 7.1.3 Pro
iTunes 7.0.1.8
multiple Wintel machines Windows XP Pro

Welcome to the discussions, Joeysirmons.
The developer that created VisualHub (Only for the Mac) has discovered how to create iPod compatible 640x480 video where the user has full control over the compression. The changes he made were to some public libraries so these methods should be finding their way to the ffmpeg based tools for Windows soon.

Thunderbolt display problems using MBP with lid closed

I am experiencing a very reproducible problem since purchasing aThunderbolt display to use with a recent (1 month old) Macbook Pro 13"2.7GHz i7.
I use my MBP with lid closed with myThunderbolt display. If Ithen allow the MBP to sleep and power down, on restarting it the WiFi hasstopped working- the menu bar says I am connected by WiFi but Safari will notconnect to the internet and Time Machine cannot connect to the Airport/TimeCapsule to backup. Nothing I do will fix it (shutting down all programs, turingWiFi off then on) and so I have to shutdown/reboot BUT THEN the MBP freezesduring shutdown (waiting 15, 20, 30 minutes!) and I have to hold down the powerbutton (hard reboot). Once I reboot everything works fine UNTIL I take a breakand the computer goes to sleep again.
Doesn't seem to be a problem with the MBP lid open, but I needto test this a bit more to be sure...
On top of this the Bluetooth trackpad now keeps going on andoff; connected, not connected despite being near or the computer. Veryirritating at best, unusable at worst. This only started to be a major problem(every 10-15 minutes or so) when I started to use the Thunderbolt display.
These problems seems to be in some ways similar to anotherthread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16205098#16205098
("Major problemswith Thunderbolt display & MBAir")
I have applied the recent Thunderbolt Firmware update, and SMC& PRAM/NVRAM resets. Interestingly these seemed to work initially but thenafter a prolonged power-down period the problem has recurred. Back to square 1.
Any ideas out there?

Just to be clear, have you installed everything that you find on this page?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4644
I just talked to Apple Care about Thunderbolt issues in general and even though I already had the Thunderbolt Software Update installed, he had me reinstall it. If you go to this page:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16889000#16889000
you can read in detail about the issues I was having which have for the most part been remedied (for now at least!)
The Thunderbolt cable definitely transfers heat for some reason even when there isn't a high CPU utilization. The process 'kernel_task' seems to be where the API for thunderbolt is running. But for some reason, the behavior of CPU Utilization to Fan Speed is amplified when connected to the TBD.
Apple Care is researching it.

Problems Using QuickTime Pro on Windows to Compress Movies for E-mailing

I have a windows system but just installed QuickTime Pro because I understood it would allow compression of movies (home movie segments of no more than 5 minutes) to facilitate e-mailing them. QuickTime instructions describing easy use of a "Share" feature seem geared to the MAC operating system--I have no such option. I've tried opening my movie using Quicktime, going to File, exporting (Movie to Quicktime Movie) with default settings (H.264 compression, quality high, key frame rate 24, etc., audio at format integer, sample rate 11.024 khz, etc.) and prepare for internet streaming (fast start). The movie goes into my Quick Time movie files without much compression--going from an AVI file of 60.4 MB to a quicktime movie of 40.8 MB. This is much larger than the quicktime movies emailed to me of longer duration which were only a few MB. Any help for a novice who at this point only wants to compress and email movies? Thanks.

That sounds like the sound is being exported in
uncompressed format. Suggest you open one of these
filesw and use MovieInfo in the Windows menu to see
what format is being used for the sound. If it is
listed as uncompressed or raw or PCM, you may want to
try using mpeg-4 sound (aac or advance audio
compression).
Thanks much. I tried saving the file using the AAC option (rather than Linear PCM) and that got it down only slightly (from 40.8 to 40.5 MB). I'll just keep experimenting.

Display problems using mini-dvi to video adapter

I recently purchased the mini-dvi to video adapter for my powerbook to use my TV as a monitor and to play pictures and videos from the laptop to the TV. I am getting a full color display on the TV, but it's only the screen saver. None of my files, text, or any other desktop folders or menus appear when I open them up on the laptop. The only screen that opens is the display preferences when I open that up, but it's a different set of preferences than what's in my computer's display preferences, as it's header is "NTSC/PAL". But other than that 1 menu, nothing is appearing but the screen saver.

OK, I discovered that I didn't know what I was doing. With the Mini-DVI to video adapter, you need to use an S-Video cable that plugs into an S-video jack on the TV, and then you need a separate cable to plug into the audio out jack on the MacBook to plug into the TV.
I think you could also use an S-video to RCA component cable if you have a TV with component video input, but I couldn't get that to work so I went to the s-video to s-video cable.

Mini DVI to S-video display problem

I connect my macbook to a plasma TV using mini DVI to S-video adapter so I can give keynote presentations. All of a sudden, having not changed any settings, the plasma display went to black & white while my macbook's display remains in color. I have checked with two different s-video cables and with another TV, as well as trying to change the color display in my system preferences, but after several hours have given up. Anyone else have this problem or have any thoughts on how to alleviate it? Thanks
Hungus

A wire may have broken inside the mini DVI to S-video adapter. S-video uses one wire for the brightness, and one for the color information. If the color wire breaks you will get a black and white picture. Until Apple replaces the adapter, you could use the composite video output, but the picture will not be as sharp.

Iphone 5 video playback problems over quicktime?

ive recently got a new laptop, pre windows 8, and downloaded quicktime pro in order to play my iphone videos right side up because windows media player will play them upside down alot of the time. something i immeadiately noticed was that all my videos from my iphone 5, when played back via quicktime, have a big judder/skip in them every 2 seconds whereis all my iphone 4 videos playback no problem. the few videos i have that are recorded right side up from my iphone 5, because of orientation of the phone during recording, play perfectly fine on windows media player so this this leads me to believe it is a quicktime issue. i have updated to the latest quicktime just a few days ago with hopes of it being corrected but no such luck. im curious if anyone else is having this same problem or knows a fix? also if anyone knows how to flip videos with quicktime so i can just watch them on windows media would be great also. i found a write up how to do it but everytime i try it, after i save it it just reverts back to its orgional orientation. thanks for any help, Jamie

Add me to the list of people having this problem.
I'm running Macbook on 10.5.8. Quicktime is 7.6.9, in case this has any bearing on things.
OK......I just searched a few places and came up with this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perian
It's called Perian, and it's one of a few different options you could use to solve this problem....I just installed it (free), and now the videos play without a hitch. It's a plug-in for Quicktime. There are others that can supposedly do the same thing--look around and give it a shot.
(Also, supposedly this Perian is no longer in open development, and may not work with the newest Quicktime update for the newest Macs, but, like I said, there are other options out there that may work for you instead.)
I have a feeling my problem may have been due to my particular Quicktime/Macbook setup being a bit outdated, but who knows?
Good luck!

Problem using QuickTime for iPhone

Hi Everybody,
I am a developer and i program an application for the iPhone. I want to know if it is possible to block the controller in the Quicktime player for iPhone ?
I use the embed code with the "<param name='controller' value='false'>" but the controller is always here.
I want to stream a video, where the user can't paused the video.
Can you help me ?
Thanks a lot

I had this same problem and solved it when I realized that the software upgrade download was about 600MB, but I had less free space available on the iPhone.
So I deleted some large music files to make space available, then started the upgrade again and it worked fine.
One caveat: since I had "Automatically fill free space with songs" checked in iTunes, under the iPhone "Music" tab, simply deleting songs from the iPhone's playlist did not clear up the space. Other songs got loaded to fill up the space. I had to uncheck "Automatically fill free space with songs" as well as delete songs in order to free up the space.
Hope this helps.

*really* nasty video/display problem!

I have a Dual 1.25 G4 with the (rare) Radeon 9700 video card connected to a Sony SDM-X72 LCD display. A few weeks ago, I started spontaneously getting a horrible on-screen distortion; Neon magenta and green lines cover the screen making it almost impossible to see anything:
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/saikyan/picture1.jpg
This colorful mess appears at random. Restarting the computer fixes the problem about 90% of the time. Usually if I wait a few minutes the problem causing the distortion seems to stop, at which point I can move windows around and "erase" the colors as you would on a dry-erase board. I've reinstalled my OS (10.4) and swapped video cables. I've also reseated my video card, reset the PMU, zapped the PRAM, so on and so fourth. I've ruled out my monitor as the culpret... it must be either a software problem (I hope) or a hardware problem (more likely).
I'm out of options. Has anyone ever seen this before?? I appreciate any suggestions or help!

I'm not convinced that replacing the fan will solve the problem, but it's worth a try. It's possible that the damage has already been done due to heat (if that's indeed the case).
If you wish to try replacing the fan, it can be done with very minimal effort. Are you comfortable removing cards and working inside your computer? If so, I think you could tackle this. There is a replacement fan for the Radeon 9700 Pro card made by Vantec, and the one you want is the Iceberq 4 CCB-A4C. This is basically the same fan that I used (just a different revision for the GeForce 4 Ti 4600).
Removing the old fan and heatsink may be more difficult if the assembly is glued to the GPU chip as it was on mine. But it will come off if pried carefully. Then it's simply a matter of applying some thermal paste and attaching the new fan assembly to the card. The fan comes with a Molex power connector (typically used for hard drives) so if you have an available one that can be used to power the fan. The other option would be to use the existing power connector by splicing the old wires to the new.
There may be other differences between your card and mine, but the basic process of changing out the fan should be similar.
Good luck!

IMac 24" Vista Boot Camp Video Display Problems

Just recently, as of Christmas 2007, I have had a new alumninum 24" iMac. Great machine! One annoying problem (really annoying) is under Boot Camp's Vista OS. I have a valid Vista Home Edition installed and operating quite fine.
Here is the issue:
After running in the Vista partition for more than an hour unattended (screensaver is set to blank or any other), the display is all distorted and wavy.
I have seen people mentioning video issues, and I have reinstalled Leopard BootCamp drivers, manually installed drivers as advised by others on this forum, yet nothing works. I keep getting the same ol' problem.
To explain in more detail: The screen is very pixelated and color gradients (i.e. standard Windows Vista wallpaper looks like an ugly histogram graph). When it's usually very smooth gradients of color, it's very sharp and distinct "smearing" appearance. Text and icons look terrible too!
As any tech support person would say: "Just reboot!"
Sure, rebooting clears the issue and it looks great again. Just give it an hour or two and the same ugly discoloration is back.
Anyone out there having issues with this in Vista? Of course Apple really promoted their new iMacs to run Windows under bootcamp (but they won't support it). Poor marketing if you asked me (it is their hardware).
Under the Leopard partition, I have not seen any issues with this display resolution. Leads me to believe it is for sure a windows driver issue. I have fiddled with just about all of the ATI Radeon HD drivers but cannot come up with a solution.
Any help, or updates on the drivers that may solve this would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try Apple again. Wish me luck.
Machine Details:
24" iMac (newer Alumninum - December 2007)
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
OSX 10.5 Leopard w/ Boot Camp Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit)

So, after three days with new drivers, I may have found an ATI driver package that might be working.
Here is what I downloaded and installed:
8-3vista32_dd59752.exe
Found here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista32/common-vista32
I installed the package and by default set the ATI graphics card driver as an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" - so far so good!
I will keep you updated if this ends up not working, but so far no smearing screens and gradient issues within Vista (32-bit) Home Edition on my iMac.
Just thought I would share - again, Apple was unable to help. On my own.
Let me know if others have success with this.

Video Display Problems with Flex Builder 2

I am currently trying out the Flex Builder 30-day trial and
have been having problems running the software.
System info:
FB 2.0.1
Dell Latittude D820 running WinXP
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M Video Card
When I first installed it, my display turned to garbage and I
had to reboot my machine to get it to a usable state. Someone
suggested changing my display properties and see if it helped. When
I tried 768X1024 with 8-bit color it worked. Once I installed it, I
changed them back to 1920X1200 32-bit. Everything seemed to work
fine until I started getting into some more complicated tutorials.
My display crashed and looked similar to what I saw before. I
updated to the latest NVIDIA driver from Dell. No help. I then
tried the Windows Troubleshooting. When I turned my hardware
acceleration to None, it started working again. There are some
weird display issues with menu buttons and I can't launch my Nvdia
software.
Is there a better solution to this? Has anyone had this
problem? I'm not so sure I'll purchase the software with this many
problems.
Thanks,
Wendi

Boys n Girls
I am Currently restoring my Power Book after a significant meltdown.
Thanks for posting I too saw the shearing effect but shrugged it off thinking oh well I'll just reboot!
If you are seeing this Buy a fire wire drive NOW and Back-up.
I suspect the Video update changed a low level feature in the power management routines and this resulted in my Power book cooking itself.
I've got a 12mth old Hitachi 7200 PATA drive in my Power Book after the Apple Drive cooked itself soem tim back and I have now got to back-up and restore my whole system. Luckiliy I have plenty of Big fast firewire drives around so I'm imaging the corrupt drive and going to run the Hitachi tool on it via a WINDOZE Thinkpad. Then a combination of clean install of 10.5.x and a migration assisted restore should do it.
I'm really not very happy though! My Time machine image did not restore and the disk repair did not work. I have a corrupted asl.DB ( the log file for Apple System Logs) and the mac won't boot from its internal drive.
I'll post the resolution here as it happens I'm at hour Disaster + 24 so I'm really cranky!
I suggest If you have a G4 Power Book you resist the temptation to install the video update.
Regards
