While I was watching a video using VLC then a small black screen appeared.

I was watching a video I copied from a VCD onto my iMac. While watching a small black screen appeared blocking the way. I could drag it out but it gets annoying at times. Like while watching 2012 this screen appeared while Jackson and others were in the small plane. Anyways, this small screen cannot be closed unless I close the program and relaunch it. By time this same small screen appeared. I don't know why. Not only my iMac has this problem, even my dad's Macbook Pro has the same problem as well.
Can someone tell me what to do and how to prevent this?
Thanks

Try to play with ur RAM , take out 1 socket and try to power it on with 1 stick ..

  • Whenever I play a downloaded film, it tells me that I can't play it without authorizing it. So I type in my password to authorize it, and it asks me about 3 more times, then I finally get to watching the video and it's just a black screen and no audio.

    Oh, and by the way, the video was playing, it's just a blank screen and no audio. The timeline at the bottom of the screen is moving along but nothing is playing. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Once in awhile my screen will freeze while I'm watching a video. Lately it's happening more often, I'm watching a video and it'll freeze BUT I can still hear the dialogue. Only solution I've found so far is to do a hard shut down. HELP!!

    Hi there, im also having this problem, i tried running most of the games on my system, and some that are considered "high end" games, are giving me the exact same problem, but other games are running and im able to message fine, i also got some friends to send me messages, and i can recieve messages perfectly, also i noticed moving the actual window around on the screen or just closing down skype also lags. I have 16GB of ram and 4.4Ghz Octa-Core CPU, i checked my load while on the high end games and it there was more than enough hardware usage left like normal for skype to run, and skype wasnt taking any extra up than before. I also checked by bandwidth and i was having no problems with that as skype would lag even on offline games. 
    I have tried re-installing under a different directory and still the same problem persists, this has only been a problem within the last 24hrs and i haven't installed any other programs that could affect this at the moment.
    *UPDATE* I tried downgrading to an older version of skype, 6.3.0.107. Problem Still persists

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider, let go of the buttons.

  • I cannot watch yahoo videos using your service; switch to internet explorer to watch; do I need to delete your serverice and switch to internet explorer?

    I cannot watch yahoo videos using your service; switch to internet explorer to watch; do I need to delete your serverice and switch to internet explorer? I would like that question answered first.

    Hi kaylenmar, I assume videos play normally for you on YouTube and other sites.
    There have been several long threads about Yahoo! videos and what might make them different from other sites. The upshot is that different people have found different problems and different solutions. For example, extensions that filter or block ads or prevent tracking can cause problems, as can the click-to-play feature.
    One approach that worked for most people who mentioned trying it is to switch to Firefox 24, which is in the final two weeks of its beta testing period. You can expect a few more rough edges with a beta version than with the released version. However, it might be worth it if you don't like switching browsers to watch Yahoo videos.
    I suggest making a backup of your Firefox settings folder before installing Firefox 24. This article has tips on doing that: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].
    Firefox 24 beta is available here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/

  • All of a sudden I cannot watch any videos using Firefox, not even from YouTube. Why?

    All of a sudden I cannot watch any videos using Firefox. All I get is a square black box. I can see them if I use Safari. Why isn't my Firefox working? What can I do? Thanks.

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or Firefox->Preferences->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Try clearing the Youtube cookie in Firefox->Preferences->Privacy
    refresh page.
    If that still does not work then try making the youtube url as http'''s'''://
    It is apparently a issue with Youtube as people with other browsers are getting the same. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?hl=en&tid=3cda4dac122b8f13

  • When I was watching the video, the computer becomes very hot, may I ask how you can solve

    When I was watching the video, the computer becomes very hot, may I ask how you cansolve

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

    No, there is no yellow star on any of the entries. Each entry has the site's (or company's) logo, as well as the name of the site and URL. There is nothing more in each entry.

    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

  • Why can I not view videos using VLC or MPlayer X?

    So I have used VLC for years and never had a problem but I was watching an episode of a TV show i downloaded on VLC and suddenly the video stopped and I got a pop up saying the video was unable to be cleaned. I tried the whole uninstal reinstall....same result, tried restarting the computer....same result. I then downloaded MPlayer X and guess what....same result. It's not just that file either I tried a file completely unrelated and it played for 30 seconds on MPlayer X and then the program stopped responding. Any thoughts?

    Adobe, the make of flash, does not yet make a flash player for iphone.
    You cannot download any file or program to the iphone at the moment.

  • Why am I NOW having major issues watching YouTube videos using WiFi vs Ethernet?

    Why am I having major issues watching YouTube videos when the cable modem is connected to Airport Extreme, but they work flawlessly if my computer is connected directly to the modem? Comcast is the internet provider. 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is the iMac. Getting the dreaded "This video is currently unavailable" OR "An error occurred. Please try again later." I swap back and forth... it's unbelievable. Videos that give errors over WiFi play fine when hooked up via ethernet.

    If your wireless connection is slow, video streaming will stutter or fail completely. The wireless connection can be slow if there are other wireless networks in your area, all competing for the same limited number of wireless channels.
    If you have a fairly new Extreme, you can use 5 GHz. Your iMac is capable of using it, and this will mitigate the effects of wireless interference.
    Keep one thing in mind - if in the course of troubleshooting you have been routinely disconnecting and reconnecting your Extreme and the iMac to your modem - "swapping back and forth" as you described - be sure to power down the modem first. Most cable modems will refuse to communicate with a different device, until after you reset it by powering it down. If you want to compare wired speeds to wireless, connect your iMac to one of the Extreme's LAN ports instead, and turn off the iMac's wireless in its WiFi menu. Its speed should be nearly identical to that you will have by connecting it directly to the modem. Swapping connections in this manner does not require a power down cycle.
