Videos skip when being played on computer

I have a windows vista OS. I have found that since having Itunes installed on my computer the videos dont play as they are suppose to. The sound skips terribly and the video pauses. Sometimes the video will keep going but the sound will be out. I tried updating my Itunes ( cant remember which one I did...) and still to no avail. I have tested to make sure it isnt my computer and I was correct in assuming that the problem is just with Itunes because both my Windows Media Player and Real Player are working just fine. How do I get this problem to go away so that I can enjoy my Music Videos in peace?

Hi
Most common origin to this are:
Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

I imported a video and when I play it back, the audio does not match the video. When I view the tape in my camera it looks fine. I've tried imported twice and each time it doesn't match. What can I do to fix this?

The default settings mostly likely use an audio sample rate of 32k. This doesn't work probably in FCP. You're probably better off capturing the tape in iMovie.

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software?

I have the same but not the same problem.

If wnyone know what's the problem.. please let us know

ITunes 11.0.1 - Song not bold and skips when album played.

iTunes 11.0.1 - Song not bold and skips when album played.
Song is in light grey font, not black. The song (let's call it track 3) will play when selected, but when playing the album, it skips from track 2 to track 4. Bought album on iTunes.

If you right mouse click on the greyed out song and select Check Selection from the bottom of the list all will be well. iTunes does not play unchecked songs

Flickering Grey / White lines across browser when video/animation is being played

Hi,
For a while now i've been getting these flickering grey/white lines across my browser, usually only noticeable when a flash animation, video or embedded advert is being played on the page. I only ever seemed to notice it happening when using Google Chrome, and a few tips suggested disabling one of the Adobe flash plugins on chrome. This seemed to fix the issue, until recently it came back again.
I decided to try and reinstall Chrome, which is when i noticed the issue happening in Safari too, which made me believe that it wasn't a browser problem but my Mac itself.
The lines seem to appear quite intermittently and only when a video or animation is being played.
Another thing i should mention is that i've not yet noticed this happening when watching video directly from my hard drive, it only ever seems to happen when i'm streaming online e.g. youtube, netflix etc But with the likes of netflix, it stops happening when i'm in full screen?
I'm currently using a Macbook Pro Mid 2010, OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. I also had the Logic Board replaced under a year ago due to other issues.
I also use dual monitors, My macbook pro and a Dell 27" IPS monitor. The flickering lines appear on both monitors, so it shouldn't be a display issue.
Below is a link to a video of the issue i'm having whilst i was visiting youtube:

Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated,

I have also been having this problem. I recently bought a new iMac to relieve this aging computer, and kept this guy as a backup. I wiped the computer and installed Mavericks, and this problem keeps coming up. I have almost nothing on this computer... which is why I have no idea why it's having issues. The extended hardware test also shows nothing. Also tried resetting PRAM/SMC, which seems to make it go away for a little while.
Before I reset and upgraded to Mavericks, I was having another weird graphics issue where things would fragment and freeze either momentarily or permanently until I restarted. This mostly happened while I was using Skype. I brought it into the Apple Store several times but they apparently could never re-create the problem... I have a feeling these are related. I'm afraid the graphics card is failing and of course the warranty has run out.

Why does my video skip when importing into iMovie?

I'm using a Canon HD video camcorder (HV20) to import my home videos into iMovie. After starting the import, the video being recorded in iMovie often "skips" (flickers on the computer screen / sound is also affected) yet the video playing on the camcorder plays without any issues. Can someone help?

You would get better results if you convert the MP4 ciips into Apple Intermediate Codec before editing. After editing you can render them back into MP4 if you want.
MPEG Streamclip (free) will do this conversion. Or get iMovie 09 and it will do it.

I can't watch youtube videos, and when I try my computer makes awful glitch sounds. Is there a way to fix this myself without bringing my macbook in?

I have had my macbook for about half a year. I love anything anime and comic book related except a lot of those websites are unsafe and you get redirected and forced to click "Okay". Youtube was working just fine, until I went to one of those plagued websites and now youtube is a slow and glitchy mess, I can no longer watch videos. I can't click play, and my mac makes awful noises as it tries to play the videos. I have already restarted, updated flash player, and I even updated the software of my laptop, but to no avail.

Setup two new accounts. One as Guest where whatever you do is "lost" (not saved) when you log out. Setup another as "Standard" user. You do not want to be using your computer as Administer account except when doing OS updates or the like.
You should / could / would have been wise to clone your system "back when everything was fine" - usually right after setting up with the OS and Apple's updates.
You upgraded to Yosemite. Consider redownloading Yosemite and saving and create a flash install.
Also backup all your media files - though malware can live inside media files depending on how and where obtained.
Adware is only one part of the puzzle.

Video lags when effect plays. Please help.

When ever I try to play back a short 10 second video of just a twirling lightsaber effect(using copilots preset)it lags the whole way through the effect, but nothing else.
It does the exact same thing even when I use(I think) the highest settings.
Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
I am thinking that it doesn't involve rendering, but involves something with the making of the file. Like I may not be finished with it I guess?
I'm new to AE.

No, I have skip frame on zero.
And sorry, I just don't know much about this stuff yet.
Ok, this is the problem.
When I preview a film(also by clicking the preview with ram under the composition tab) the film skips and is slow. Like skipping many frames, even though I have skip frame on zero.
If I render it with the highest quality the finished product will come out the same way as the preview.
Earlier I was trying to fix the problem and messed around with the project settings and the video worked fine, but now I cant remember wat I did and it is doing the same thing.

Why is a still image fuzzy when being played but clear when I pause it?

I'm trying to make a video out of a collection of still images. It is a tribute video, essentially, and I am trying to liven it up by panning and zooming documentary-style. I've imported all the images I want to use into my media folder, and added them to my timeline. When I hit 'play,' the images suddenly become blurry, but when i then 'pause' it, they return to being clear. Any idea why this might be happening and what I can do to fix this?
Thanks very much,
Brian

Why is there no time indicator where my mouse hovers over the clip or even in the video pane when I play a clip?

I've used a few other video editors and all of them showed some sort of time indicator of where my mouse was when I hovered over the clip for precise editing and/or at least a time of where the video was in it's play time. Idk the exact terms for these indicators but I want to know why there's not one in iMovie and if there is, how to enable it.

You do get a display of the start time of each clip in iMovie 10 if you are not using a wrapped timeline but it is poor compared to previous versions and of course FCP.

Video Skips When Moving Around

If i get up and move with my laptop the Video (normal .avi House episode) skips, almost like a CD in a car when you hit a bump. It's mostly when i put the laptop down on a chair/desk/lap. Just wondering what this is all about?
Another, different problem. When watching any video in QT it's choppy all time. Unwatchable choppy. I have to watch in VLC (not a big deal, but a little annoying)
Anyone have any QT upgrades I should download to make this not happen?

Not sure I understand what you are describing, but you may be engaging the Exposé feature. In ANY app, if you use Exposé, the system will expose all of your currently opened windows by making them smaller, so that could be what you mean by "move back." You then click on the window you want to use; it's meant to be an easy way to find and switch between windows, if you have a lot of windows open at the same time.
You may be activating it by squeezing your mouse, if you use a Mighty Mouse. Go into System Preferences Mouse pane. You should see the mouse diagram with lines going to both sides of the mouse. That is "squeeze" setting. If it is set to +Exposé - All Windows+, change it to OFF.
Note: You can also engage Exposé using the F9 key, or the special key with the little rectangles (depending on how your keyboard's F-keys are set).

Hiccupping/skipping when I play the first file upon login (iTunes 7.0.2)

When I first logon and play an audio file on iTunes, it hiccups after about two seconds. After that it plays fine, but it's seriously annoying - it makes me think there's something wrong. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thanks for any input.

I figured out what the problem was.
My audio interface is what skips. Perhaps it's initializing itself and there's a delay. When I plug straight into my headphone jack, there's no problem. But when I try listening through my audio interface, it skips.

Burned dvd's distorted when being played.

I am new to the Mac world. I recently downloaded Mac the Ripper and Bought Popcorn. I am able to copy my dvd's to my hard drive without a problem. I can also burn the TS file to my dvd's. However when i go to play it in the DVD player it is distorted and freezes. The sound seems to be there but it will not play long enought to hear. Popcorn says it is completed and there is no errors. I need some suggestions and help.
Thanks

Being a new purchase, this shouldn't be an issue, however, is your Popcorn at version 1.0.3?
After you use Mac the Ripper, can you use the Apple DVD player to view the movie? Any issue there?
Have you looked over the Popcorn discussion forum at http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?s=36c69af3b36aa68483464ad277784494&sho wforum=50
