Video does not play back - please help

Hi everyone...
Here are the specs:
Premier Pro CS4
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo
T9400 @ 2.53 Ghz
2.53 Ghz 2.90 GB
149 GB HD -  111 GB free space
I am not able to play back any type of video, it will pixilated and freeze.  The audio plays fine.  I have imported QT files as well as captured video at the standard DV-NTSC Standard 48Khz
During capeure I have no problem viewing or capturing....
The thumbnail image shows a proper image but ones I hit play on the thumbnail preview it pixilated and freezes as well.  Even if I drop the clip in the timeline it does not work.
I checked the material by using it in another computer with PPC4 and it worked fine...so the source material is not corrupted....
Any and all the help is appreciated.

Regarding QT that is what I have always used with other NLE, what do you recommend?
I've had great luck with QT. I've had the Pro version on all machines going way, way back, with not one issue. Many others have not been so fortunate. As I do not let it update, I managed to miss the 7.4.x debacle, where about 3 udpates killed almost everything Adobe. I'm running 7.5.5 on all machines, IIRC. QT is up to 7.6.3, last time I checked.
I get a ton of .MOV files and specify the Apple Animation CODEC. To date, all have played and edited fine on my PC's. Again, based on the reports from the field, YMMV. Just because I have had 100% success, does not mean that any others will. Many have not.
Now, I have the Pro update, and I cannot say how that might affect things, other than the "features" of Pro. As it is just an "unlock," the "guts" of QT Player have go to be pretty much identical. Still, my results have always been with the Pro version, FWIW.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS, if there were not issues for many others, the term QuirKtime®, would not have come into popular usage.

  • Video does not play back FCP5

    When I play back video, only audio plays back, and it shows the first frame of where i was playing back. When I stop it, the video jumps to the last frame that it passes.
    Please Help!!!

    How are you monitoring?
    What's the format?
    If on an external device, is the format supported for real time playback?

  • Ogv video does not play in Firefox 3.6 on a server

    I have successfully create an ogv video in Firefogg. The video plays on my local computer in Firefox. However, when I put the video on my university server, the video does not play any more. Here is a link to the video: http://www.iupui.edu/~streamit/huang/html5video/html5video.html
    I don't know how to solve the problem. Help. Many thanks.

    No problems here on Linux, that video plays for me.
    Try:
    * "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

  • Video does not play in Viewer or Canvas

    Hi, I am new to Final Cut Pro. I just imported a couple of .mov files into FCP and have added them to a sequence. When I try to play the files on the Canvas, the video does not play (just shows the first frame). Same goes for Viewer window for an individual file. Help!

    You can't really use H264 directly in Final Cut Pro without a lot of hassle.
    Your audio has the wrong sampling rate. Digital audio for video is always 48000 kHz.
    Use QuickTime Player or Compressor to export a copy of your files using the ProRes codec with the correct audio settings. Bring those into FCP.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • Video does not play on external plasma monitor

    Forum
    Here is my situation.
    I received footage captured with a Panasonic HVX-200, the specs are:
    29.97fps, Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p 60, frame size: 960x720
    I use an Intensity Pro video card for monitoring on a 42" Samsung LCD. When the Intensity Pro card is set to HDTV 720p 60 (1280x720) the video does not play on the LCD, all I get is a still frame. When the Intensity Pro card is set to Intensity NTSC 720x486, it plays on the LCD but it's not at its best quality. The footage always plays fine in the FCP Canvas and Viewer windows.
    Any ideas on what may be going on?

    YOu need to be using DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94...and whatever DECKLINK header that is there for the card. I use the Kona 3, so mine is AJA KONA DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94. 59.94 because no matter what frame rate you shoot, the video stream is a 59.94 stream to the monitor.
    I hope that does it. No experience with the Intensity.

  • Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

    I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
    Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

    Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
    Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

  • Youtube videos are not playing back

    Youtube videos are not playing back in Safari 5.1.7. I've also checked this in Firefox 16.0.2.
    I am running OS 10.6.8.
    Why is this happening? I need this capabilitiy for my work efforts.
    Thanks (in advance)!

    I'm having similar problems to you all.  Chrome and Firefox will play YT videos back perfectly.  But for some reason certain users' entire channels that were working fine in Safari on Thhursday 1st Nov 2012 had stopped working by the next day!  After upgrading Flash and resetting the cache etc it was a bit better but still some not working.  I then downloaded the 6.0.2 update (again after a bit of aggro as some error message kept popping up, then after a while it worked ok).  Now still some videos refuse to play in Safari.  Latest FF browser seems OK and not too slow.  I have always liked Safari though and am a bit annoyed that I've had to to make FF my default as it's a bit ugly.  It may be a YT problem rather than Apple.  Once upon a time in the hazy crazy days of Tiger and Leopard I had no Apple problems.  Now lots of very minor but basic issues keep popping up!

  • 24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion

    Problem: 24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion. 30 frame will play fine. I took the same 24fps shot, using the exact same setup parameters, and played it in my CS5.0. No problem. I did them side by side and checked to make sure everything was EXACLTY the same. The 24fps shot played smoothly in the CS5.0 source monitor. Can anyone tell me what the solution might be to get the CS5.5 to play smoothly? When I rendered it on the timeline in CS5.5 it played smoothly on the timeline. Perplexed.

    Thanks Tood,
    Here's the other info. I am running CS5.5 on a windows 7 ultimate 64bit (service pack 1) OS. All of the recent updates have been installed on both the OS and the CS5.5. The source footage is H.264.mov from a nikon d7000 at 1080p 24fps. My video card is an Nvida GeForce GTX285. My processor is an Intel Core i7 3.33GHz with 12GB ram. I am running no third party codecs or effects. I am using the Mercury Playback engine GPU accelerator. I am using a DSLR24 frame project setting.
    Here is the problem: When I bring a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file into my DSLR24 frame project, or any project setting, in my CS5.5 and open it in the source monitor it plays as if it is trying to catch up; stuttering and skipping; it plays the same on the sequence timeline until I render it.  I get no error messages. When I bring the exact same file into my CS5.0, with the exact same project settings, it plays perfectly in the source monitor and on the timeline without rendering. When I bring in a 1280x720 24fps.mov or any other size file into my CS5.5 in any project configuration, it plays perfectly smoothly. Everything plays smoothly without renedering in the source monitors of my CS5.0 and CS5.5 except for a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file in CS5.5. The exact one that I need to play there.
    I would have no problem cutting in my CS5.0 if it intergrated with audition; which is why I bought the CS5.5.
    Thanks,

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.
