What's with the video performance?

I have a 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro from maybe a year ago or so. It can't handle 720p quicktime videos from the apple trailers site. They stutter and drop frames like crazy. My older Macbook Pro could handle the 1080p videos. The newer one has the nvidea 9600M GT video card. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? Something I need to do to optimize performance?
It's a little ridiculous that this happens, considering my PC that is over 3 years older (and wasn't high end to begin with) can handle the same videos just fine.

I'm using Firefox. Everything is the latest. These aren't flash videos. I'm talking about the download version of Quicktime videos that cause Quicktime to open and it plays in there. I did just try saving the mov file and played it with VLC without any trouble.

  • What's the deal with the video format?

    Hello! What is the deal with the video format? Does it mean I have to code the videos for 640*480 ? It won't accept any other size? What size do I need to select for widescreen format?
    With Quicktime pro I've been able to encode videos with a very nice resolution and small size, then try to synch them to the ipod touch and then the error, it can't be played. I use the .mov format, I like it more but if I have to use .mp4 then I'll use it.
    Thanks for the help!

    According to Apple's Specification, these are your video choices
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
    H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

    The iPhone warranty is not international. If you bought it in the US you can only get service in the US. You will need to take it in to an Apple store in the US.

  • Defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip.

    I was faced with the legendary defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip. Heard about what Apple makes replacement chips for free. My friend a year ago made the change in the service center. Is this true now?

    Since Apple says that some copy protected DVD's will not function with Disk Sharing, you may need to "clone" the DVD, using the MBP, to a flash drive, and use the flash drive to perform the installation of the software.
    Another alternative is to download and install the Trial version from the Microsoft Office For Mac website, and then use the activation code provided with the DVD to activate the full version install of the trial.

    Hello there, graciecloyd.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps to try when an application is not functioning as expected:
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.
    Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
    On Step 2, close all applicaitons that are open. On Step 3, if the restart doesn't help resolve the issue, you may also want to try the Reset step in that article as well.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Having trouble with the video function..

    I just purchased the 60GB ipod photo. I'm transferring music files easily. However, I'm having trouble with the video function. I've loaded Itunes 6, reloaded the original setup disk, and have loaded the latest updates for the unit. I can download movies from the itunes store and save them to my library, but I cant seem to transfer the video files to the ipod. Ive reinstalled itunes and the update 6 with no success. After syncing the ipod it only shows the music files even after all that Ive tried. Additionally, there is no evidence of the video function on the main menu after the update attempts. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm eager to get past this problem so that I can start tranfering personal movies and video files.

    You Have an iPod Photo, You do NOT have a 5th Generation Video iPod. Get it? You need the 5G model to play video.
    If the salesman told you it was the 5G model he lied, was ignorant or both. If video is important or if thats what you thought you were getting you will need to return your 4G iPod photo for new iPod.

  • What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject

    Hello
    What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject
    THNX from germany

    Hi,
    In the query execution there are a sequence of steps performed before we actually see the data. One of these steps is Authorization check.
    When we check Auth Relevant for a characteristic and have a Authorization Variable in the query. The authorizations assigned to the user are checked to see what the user has access to. For instance if we have a auth relevance for Region char, and we used it in the query. User who is running the query has authorization to Germany only, then the output of the report has only data relevant to that user, i.e., for Germany.
    Hope this helps.

  • The Audio Doesn't Sync with the video

    Hi
    I'm a complete novice to captivate and I'm trying to capture
    an area within a IE web browser. I choose to add the audio at the
    same time as doing the video.
    What I get however is the audio does not seem to keep up very
    well with the video capture.
    In addition and perhaps this may be connected, if I click on
    a link on the webpage I am viewing and scroll up/down the page,
    captivate doesn't seem to be able to cope with it.
    When I play back the movie, I will see mouse hovering over
    and clicking where the relevant button would be had the video
    caught up, it's a couple of second behind.
    So I guess I have two problems.
    I apologise if I'm not providing all the correct information
    I would also be happy to create a captivate file and upload it to
    explain more clearly what the problem is.
    Regards
    Simon H

    Well I seem to be able to solve the video not keeping up with
    the scrolling by opting for the "record at high full motion "
    option
    I still seem to have the audio problem but what I also can't
    solve is that the mouse movement on the screen only shows when you
    actually click on a button, I want the mouse to move around so I
    can point to certain areas on the screen but without actually
    clicking on the links and taking the user away from the current
    view.
    Is that possible or does activate only allow the mouse to be
    showing moving around the screen if your clicking on an
    object

  • Why is the sound out of sync with the video on my PC laptop?

    The sound is out of sync with the video, it skips (like the old-fashioned vinyl records) or there is no sound at all. As well, the video portion is jerky.
    I'm travelling and don't have access to a TV so have to watch it on my PC laptop.
    I've rebooted my laptop a couple of times, but the problem re-occurs.

    In what app?
    Have you restarted or reset the device?

  • I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.

    I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.
    I upgraded to iMovie 11 because the previous version wouldn't read the type of video I was importing (VOB).  The video imports but not the audio, what do I do?

    What are you capturing from?  You may not hear the auido as it's captured but it will be there.  After it's captured can you see the audio waveforms? Do the audio meters move when you play the clip?  If so then go to "View" then "Audio Playback"  and set it to 'Built-in Output" if you're monitoring audio through the computer.

    Hi Janusz Such,
    Based on my knowledge, CAS proxy can only from later version to previous version.
    Some like CAS2013 to CAS2010/2007, CAS2013 to CAS2013. 
    Thanks

  • Final Cut Express won't capture audio with the video anymore, why?

    I have used Final Cut Express 4 for over a year now with no problems, but recently I am unable to capture any audio with the video from my camera. I can do it through iMovie no problem. I can't figure out if I changed a setting by accident because everything looks normal to me. Could another program be interfering with this? Quicktime Pro? I have no idea how to fix this.

    First of all, we need a bunch of information in order to help. Please provide the specs of the footage and the sequence you are using. Also, are you using DV, HDV, or AVCHD? Do you hear audio when the clip is played in the viewer, or is there no audio at all once the clip is captured/ingested?
