Video Playback ISSUE WITH VISTA!!!!  NEEDED HELP BADLY!!!!!!!

I am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me. Copy your video(s) to a flash drive and then play them from there. It's a workaround and you shouldn't have to do it but it does allow you to watch the videos.

  • Video playback issue with 3rd gen iPod Touch

    Hi all,
    I just recently discovered an issue with my iPod touch 3rd generation video playback. The issue just reared its head today and I have no idea what I could've done to cause it. It's a small issue but frustrating enough to cause a problem.
    If I watch a video normally (by opening up the Videos section and picking it), it'll play through to the end, then start over again, then stop. This only happens if I choose videos randomly, and doesn't happen if I play videos in a playlist.
    What could be the issue?

    I'll second that. I've been having the same problem since the last software update

  • Video Playback Issues With Apple TV3 Running OS8

    I have two Apple TV3s (Both Pre 2013)
    One updated today to the latest OS8, the other still running the previous OS7.1.2
    Now when trying to play virtually any of my own MP4 videos the OS8 firmware version Apple TV3 refuses to play the file.
    Apple TV simply displays "An error occurred loading this content" (retrying simply displays the same error again)
    If I then use the second Apple TV3 (running the older firmware OS7.1.2) and try to play exactly the same files from the same iTunes library the file will play back correctly.
    So far the OS8 Apple TV3 is unable to play over 95% of the video files it could previously play prior to the firmware update.
    The odd file will play but these files are of differing resolutions so don't appear to share anything in common. It is always the same files that will or wont play.
    All video files are Profile 4.0 or lower and contain the required audio tracks.
    I am running iTunes 11.4.0.18 (Windows 8.1)
    Prior to the update every video file played correctly (on both Apple TVs) and the second Apple TV3 (using the earlier OS7.1.2 firmware) still plays the exact same files correctly.
    Music files are unaffected and playback correctly on both Apple TV3s.
    The latest firmware update appears to have corrupted the video playback of the Apple TV3 in some way.
    I have even tried a complete USB restore of the OS8 Apple TV3 but this has made no difference.
    Has anyone else experienced MP4 playback issues since updating their Apple TV3 to OS8?
    Thank you in advance.

    After further tests it would appear that Apple TV 7.0 (OS8) firmware is unable to play any video file with NO CHAPTER markers.
    If I use MetaX to simply tag an unplayable MP4 file with a single chapter, that file will now play correctly using an Apple TV3 running Apple TV 7.0 (OS8). If the single chapter is then deleted the same file reverts to being unplayable.
    In previous versions of Apple TV firmware any video file with NO CHAPTER markers could be played correctly and the Apple TV would automatically generate chapter markers at equally distributed time gaps.
    For some reason Apple TV 7.0 (OS8) firmware appears to have removed this auto chapter marker feature so if a file has no chapter markers the Apple TV will now consider the file as invalid.
    With MetaX it is possible to manually generate additional chapter markers so you can still skip through the file rather than only scan.
    iFlick for Mac should I suspect be able to do the same thing.

  • Video Playback issues with Ipod and Itunes

    OK I just bought some episodes of a TV show last night, and I put them on my ipod(5th gen. 30GB). About halfway-sometimes 2/3-of the way through, the video stops playing, no audio, no movement, just stops like it is paused. I deleted them off my ipod, made sure my ipod was up to date, and put them back on. Problems still there. Then i went to watch them in Itunes, and in the same places they freeze again. Itunes is up to date too.So now i have these videos that i paid for, that don't work completely on either my Ipod nor on Itunes. Help Please?

    the good news is that you have pretty much isolated the issue. if the videos don't play completely on either the ipod or itunes, then the videos or tv shows are possibly corrupted. what you can do is contact the itunes store via a web form ( click here to go to form and scroll to the bottom)
    tell the itunes store your tv shows have playback issues and say the same thing you posted. the itunes store should allow you to re-download the tv shows.

  • Music video playback issue with 10.4

    Previous to Lion and iTunes 10.4 if I was view a playlist in coverflow and one of the songs was a video this video would play full screen and when it was finished iTunes would return cover flow and continue to flow through the playlist.  In 10.4 after the music video finishes I am either returned to the desktop if I was previously on the normal full screen iTunes view or retuned to the coverflow with it not tracking the songs, if viewing coverflow in full screen.  Any idea on how to make it work?

    Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me.

    hi slideaway!
    my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
    good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot

    Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...

    I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
    At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
    I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.

  • Video playback issues in Air for Android

    Hello everybody
    I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
    but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
    I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device.  I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
    The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
    Any advice will be highly appreciated,

  • OS X 10.8 video playback issues

    since upgrading to OS X 10.8 I have several video playback issues.
    I have a lot of videos ripped to my Drobo NAS, connected bij FW 800 to my MacMini (4 GB, 2009). Until recently, playback was smooth, either with VLC or DVD Player.
    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8, DVD Player is not playing VIDEO_TS folders anymore, all I get is a chequered screen. This is also happening on my MacBookPro and my iMac i7, so this is not a specific hardware issue.
    After upgrading to OS X 10.8.2, videos are playing back jerky and audio is out of sync in VLC and QuickTime.
    Since I have 10,000+ videos in my library, this is absolutely unacceptable
    I tried reinstalling OS 10.8, and trashing the prefs, but to no avail.
    please help.

    Are you running the latest version of VLC player?

  • Quicktime 7.6 video playback issues

    I upgraded to quicktime 7.6 yesterday and is has caused video playback issues when in higher performance with my Macbook pro. I am trying to play 1080p footage in the h.264 compression codec and it is now stuttering. It played fine in my previous quicktime player before the upgrade and it seems to play fine in the better battery setting. The problem occurs with the 9600 nvidia chip but the 9400 works okay. This is troublesome because the 9600 should out preform the 9400.

    Update: The problem only happens with MacOS 10.5.6. Running the pre-installed MacOS 10.5.5 the 9400M and 9600M displays movies smoothly using QuickTime 7.6. Disabling hardware-accelerated playback by deleting the "AppleVAH264HW.component" in "/System/Library/Quicktime" also "solves" the problem.

  • Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

    Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
    A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S &amp; iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
    Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
    Thanks.

  • Zen - AAC: Playback issue with long songs (± 15 min.)

    Hi,
    I made some tests with AAC Itunes plus files, and I've experiencing playback issue with long songs (when it's about 5 minutes or longer, like the second movement of Beethoven's third).
    During?playback, there is random artifacts added, never at the same place.
    I cleaned up my Zen 6 Gb and even formated it, and the problem still occurs. The latest firmware is installed.
    Is this issue has already been reported?
    Thanks.

    The Zen does in fact support AAC playback, but it's tricky--I've been dealing with this issue for a while, and I think it's finally solved. First of all, when you say "skipping," do you mean that the track skips ahead further into the same track, or does it skip to the next song with an error message like "There was an error with the audio file"? My problem was with the latter. There are a few possible solutions:
    . Delete the erroneous track from your Zen, then re-transfer; in my experience, this corrects the problem, although sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
    2. Make sure your AAC file is in iTunes Plus format (you can choose it in the ripping options in iTunes).
    3. If you haven't already done so, upgrade to Windows 7. This means upgrading to WMP2, which recognizes AAC files and can transfer them to your Zen. It also means you can download a version of Creative Centrale (from the Creative Support site) specifically for the Zen, which replaces the Zen Media Explorer and Creative Mediasource, and which seems to handle AAC transfers much better (so far, I haven't noticed any of the playback errors, but you never know!). By the way, WMP2 and Creative Centrale will also transfer album art easily to the Zen.
    Hope this is helpful.
