Video Playback in iTunes (and Quicktime) All White

Since I updated iTunes and Quicktime, playback of all videos in them is now white, with a few dots of colour and just audio playing through.
Is there a solution to this yet?
Thanks - Dan.

The iTunes store writes, "All TV shows and other video content are now available in 640-by-480 resolution." And, QuickTime Tech Specs page, says the following.
For viewing videos purchased from the iTunes Store:
(Windows)
2.0 GHz Pentium-class processor or better
512MB of RAM
32MB video RAM
QuickTime 7.1.3
Windows 2000 or XP
For viewing 640x480 standard definition (SD) H.264 video:
(Windows)
2.0 GHz Intel Pentium class or better processor
At least 512MB of RAM
64MB or greater video card
Windows 2000 or XP
I don't know how much VRAM you have on your terminal, but it looks like you need a faster machine as far as CPU is concerned.
Good luck

  • Track stuttering on playback in iTunes and Quicktime. Help!

    In iTunes and Quicktime, every track in my library stutters intermittently in random places on playback.  All tracks play perfectly on my iPod and in other media players on my PC eg. Win Media Player v11. I have tried all steps in article TS1362 (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1362?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US). Additionally I have tried both my sound card and the motherboard audio codec... it happens with both. Any ideas please?

    it seems more like a stopping and starting.  the video clips look great in fcp, but bad in quicktime.  ken burns on stills is not smooth in fcp, but looks much worse in quicktime.  any suggestions? 

  • Sluggish m4v playback in itunes and quicktime

    hi all
    spent a while searching for an answer to this question.
    i purchased a tv series through itunes (as m4v files) and downloaded them to my computer. no problems there.
    when i went to playback the files i ran into some trouble. there was sluggish video/audio feed when playing the files either through quicktime or itunes. the audio and video were not off "sync" with eachother, its just they played sluggish as a whole.
    for example, about three seconds would play, then both audio and video would pause. then, a few more secs would play and so on.
    i have tried codecs, but still dont' know, and it is really agrivating. im running a windows xp computer, 1gb ram, 1.7ghz processor, pentium 4. no problems with computer speed in general.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

  • Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

    First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
    I looked all over on how to fix this..
    So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
    After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
    But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..

    I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

    If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
    There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

  • ITunes and Quicktime don't play videos properly! HELP!

    While playing mp4 video's, my iTunes and Quicktime won't play mp4 properly! They play the sound, but the picture is al green with wierd writings on it..
    I tried:
    - re-installing iTunes and Quicktime to both earlier versions
    - installing all possible codec's
    And when I want to put it on my iPod it crashes everything..
    Anyone know whats wrong? Or does anyone have the same problem?

    Hello,
    You can find additional information and troubleshooting steps from the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
    The symptom you mention is addressed in one of the FAQ's on the page.
    Have you tried one of the free videos from the iTunes Store? You can find free video and music content on the iTunes Store. The "Free on iTunes" section is generally towards the bottom of the center column of the window.

  • I may have a solution for choppy video playback for iTunes Windows users

    My setup:
    - Intel NUC (i5)
    - 8gb memory
    - Intel 5000 Graphics with 1GB memory (share of system memeory)
    - iTunes 12
    - iTunes library on NAS via GigaLan
    Had problems with very choppy and freezing HD video playback in iTunes and tried everything... Every other player works fine.
    1. downgrade audio playback
    2. played with Quicktime settings
    However, I think I might have a workaround. You need to do the following,
    1. Install Quicktime 7
    2. Install iTunes
    3. Download ffdshow (Sep 2014 version) and install the codecs: pretty much leaving all do default
    4. Set audio quality in Sound and Quicktime options in control panel, and iTunes to 16bit 48k
    5. In advanced options of Quicktime in control panel, deselect "Direct 3D" & "Enable directdraw on seondary display", ONLY tick "enable directdraw accerleration"
    Well, at least this works for me for now.
    HOWEVER!!!
    @Apple! You need to address this issue once for all, I can't believe there is no solution. As a paying customer who buy quite a few of your movies in iTunes, I expect to have a harssell free experience. Consumers should NOT have to go through all these troubles trying to fix a product you have released and making billions out of.
    Reason why I switched from Android to Apple for my phones and tablets is becasue of the seamless user experience, regretfully I have to admit, this advantage is quickly going away. The amount of glitches in your recent ios updates and itunes are simply unacceptable.

    Downloading videos on 7.0.2 hasn't worked as well as everyone had hoped. I still can't get mine to work, but i do know a few people who haven't had trouble with the newer itunes.

  • Weird Colours in Itunes and Quicktime for Movies

    Hi there,
    Whenever I play videos in Itunes and Quicktime, all I can see are weird blurry colours on the screen although the sound works perfectly fine. The same thing happens when I try to play the movie trailers on the apple site...I have to open the trailer at least 5 times before it produces the proper image for the video, but that trick doesn't work for Itunes...these videos work perfectly fine on my Ipod however, it's just on Itunes and Quicktime they are blurry colours.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    does anyone else have this problem?

  • Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

    Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
    Everything is fine.
    -They are the right format
    -Quicktime is updated
    -I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
    -I have tried going to file<add file to library
    Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
    Any and all help appreciated.

    In addition to Mike's suggestions,  you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

  • Hi.  Ever since I downloaded the last itunes and quicktime update (a week or so ago), I can't access any video podcasts or movies I have stored in itunes.  iTunes keeps crashing and telling me I have a quicktime error.  Do I uninstall quicktime? or?

    Hi .  Ever since I downloaded the last itunes and quicktime update ( a week or so ago), I can't access any movies or video podcasts i have store in itunes on my pc (vista).  iTunes crashes and my error reports tell me it is a quicktime error.  Do i uninstall and reinstall quicktime, or completely uninstall itunes and reinstall it -- if so, what will i lose?  Help, please!

  • After I downloaded the most recent versions of itunes and quicktime  I cannot play any videos, tutorials.  Thank you for any help.

    Videos will not play after downloading the mmost recent versions of Itunes and Quicktime.  What can I do?  The video tries to start but freezes and does not respond.

    Appreciate the suggestion.  I did the repair, but videos still don't play.
    I tried putting quicktime in "safe mode", but that also did not solve the video-play problem.
    However, I downloaded a video and that video does play.
    A video may start but quickly freezes.
    In itunes is the player "quicktime or itunes"?
    When I open the quicktime player(its appearance doesn't look like a player with controls for play, pause, etc.).
    Maybe the controls appear when play begins' however, then I try to open any song of video, I always get the same message:  "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer(in itunes, I assume).)
    If i choose "yes" I get an error message.
    I thought this additional information might be helpful, but you can just answer the original question if you have some additional ideas.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Videos freeze and crash PC in itunes and QuickTime

    I have Wndows Vista 32 home premium - latest versions of iTunes and QuickTime will not play back music videos I downloaded via iTunes. Videos hang and PC freezes up. These are m4v format videos.

    Sounds like you had the same problem I did. Computer would pretty much die when trying to watch video or sync video or photos to my iPod. Moving them to an external hard drive and everything works great again.

  • I cannot play the m4v movie (Linear)  I downloaded with the U2 album "No line on the horizon". I have the latest versions of itunes and quicktime. I have a windows 7 computer. Can you help.

  • Problem with video playback with iTunes

    Several problems :
    Problem with video playback with iTunes -
    Since about a week, When I launch a video, it takes a long time to get started, then only the sound starts with no pictures - If I press pause then play the video is played normally. Did anyone face or heard about same kind of issue .
    Problem with permission disk errors
    After re-installing White Tiger and After I installed the last OSX 10.6.5 update
    I found the following problem
    Group differs on "Applications / Utilities / AirPort Utility.app / Contents / Resources / wanArrow.png", should be 0 instead of 80.
    Last but not least :
    My computer seems slow - I have 60gig free on My hard drive and I test my hard drive and everything seems all good .

    What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not work..Yeah, another one

    Despite my best efforts to try to solve my problem on my own and not both you kind people, I've been working on and off at trying to get my iTunes working, with no positive results at all. It's honestly been so long, I don't recall what might have sparked the issues, but every time I try to open iTunes or QuickTime they will begin to open but fail, bringing up the common windows error message:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    So far, I have totally deleted both iTunes and QuickTime twice from my computer- first just through Add/Remove Programs pathways, then more in depth with Registry Crawler to try to remove any traces of the programs- all before re-installing the two programs. Both times have failed, still leaving me unable to open either program, so I've broken down and come here- hoping to find anyone willing to lend a hand to help fix this issue so that I can finally listen to my music the way I used to.

    Perfect information, thanks.
    That combination is almost always caused by some application stashing old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects, although some Games might do it too.)
    Let's go looking for the old stuff.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
