Why is QuickTime Player causing my programs to lag?

So I've been using QuickTime Player to record some gameplay on my Mac to remind myself of certain parts of the game, but a few minutes after the recording starts, it causes all my games and programs to lag extremely while I'm recording, then QuickTime Player will quit and not save the recording, what's going on?

Update: On the phone with HP, I spoke with three different departments. Two of those departments took remote access of my laptop. And about an hour-and-a-half later, my problem seems to be fixed. Basically, they changed my sleep settings, did a power drain, and then voila. So, fair winds and following seas, to you all! I'll keep you updated should there be related developments.Thanks, What changes did they make to your sleep settings ?What's a power drain ? PS: I tied the pull battery suggested by another user, but it didn't help. ----------------------------------------------------- Here's what I posted in the Envy Thread: I currently have sleep mode disabled when on AC and am still getting the black screen, dead keyboard lockup. I really know I'm hosed since even the caps-lock is non-functional. I see this problem more when I'm at work were I tend to Win-L lock the screen when I walk away from my desk. Seems like locking the computer then letting the screen blank is doing something evil. After I force a reboot, by keyboard backlight forgets it's setitngs and returns to full brightness. If I lock the screen then bring back the computer before the screen is blanked, it seems fine. I don't think there's any way to adjust the screen blanking when the lock screen is up (even my desktop power-saves the monitors after a few minutes on the Lock screen). Does the problem only occur when blanking the display ? I have no idea if it's HP or MS that should be looking into this. My computer is about 3 years old so I can't pester HP with warranty requests. I'm not sure how prevelant this problem is. Are all Pavellions and Envy's having the problem? Mine has Radeon graphics which was a bit unusual at the time. I have to install the HP Display driver before any AMD updates or the screen dimming doesn't work (at least with win 7 and 8). Dave.

HT201290 why is QuickTime Player not working when i try to open this files i got in a external hard drive some one els lend me ???

i have a macbook that was resantly upgrade we running Yosemite 10.9 OS and the external hard drive is fairly current brand name WD capacity 500GB with 147GB free lots of its contents are QuickTime Player videos that will like to open some other media is available in different format and is working properly, i have download a more current version of QuickTime Player and it sound better at list sound like it is going to star playing but it don't... so please if some one can help me with some answers will be real appreciate , thank you kindly looking forward to hear from you is my first time asking questions about apple it feels a bit like a shoot in the dark !

Is the friend's external drive where you said these files are, correctly formatted
for use with Mac OS X, or is it set up for use solely with a Windows format?
If you copy one of the QuickTime files into a folder, in your computer and try
to run it from there, does it work at that point? It may not. Could be the drive
you borrowed from a friend has some other issue; perhaps creator account
and permissions may also be limited by how the content was added there.
There is way too much missing information for me to guess, but I wonder about
how the hardware was set up and if the files are actually available to your Mac.
The QuickTime support page itself should be a portal to more information...
QuickTime
The above link is part of this larger section:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
Perhaps someone will see this ASC discussion thread later in the day (2AM here)
and maybe can offer a more direct reply. There are several articles in Apple Support
database for applications and other items (such as QuickTime) & the support site is
searchable. Sometimes the database is hard to find exact articles or topics, though.
Hopefully the issue is not too difficult to determine the cause...
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an MPEG4 movie running. I don't know why but Quicktime Player will not let me open this file now to shut it down. Any tips on how to do this? I've tried installing an older version QuickTime Player 7. OS Maveriks

I have an iMac with an OSX 10.9.5. I have an MPEG4 program that is running. QuickTime Player can't open it up for me to stop it. What are my options? I've tried downloading QuickTime Player 7, an older version but that hasn't helped.

Not sure what you mean then. Is QuickTime still open and playing the video? If so, do you mean you can't even get back to QT to shut it down?
Check the Dock for the QT logo. Click it to bring that app to the foreground. The menu bar then should say QuickTIme Player next to the Apple logo. Close the app and the video will shut down with it.

Why my quicktime player can't play an mpeg file

I have a quicktime player that goes with snow leopard mac-os, but this does not play with an mpeg file dvd

QuickTime X and QuickTime Player 7.6.6 can't play MPEG-2 formats without additional software.
DVD Player should be used, instead.

Why does quicktime 7 cause a reboot of windows xp when playing a .mov?

How come quicktime 6 works fine and plays my .mov files and allows me to transfer video from my digital camera whereas quicktime 7 causes a system reboot and i cant watch my videos? with quicktime 7 opening the folder containing the .mov or clicking on the .mov causes the screen to become black with blue characters on it that are not letters or numbers. then the bios screen comes up, eventually bringing me back to the desktop.
id be perfectly happy using quicktime 6 on my computer since it works great, however after i uninstalled quicktime 7 and reinstalled 6 i found out that i need quicktime 7 for my itunes. what do i do?
please help me.

that did not work, nor did changing quicktime into safe mod.
what is the difference between quicktime 6 and quicktime 7 such that 7 will cause windows to reboot after the weird black screen with blue nonsense (not letters or numbers) on it everytime i try to play an .mov file?
can i revert to a version of itunes that will allow me to used quicktime 6 without any negative effects to my current setup on itunes 7?
please help, this is very frustrating.

Why Does QT Player Movie Show Flip4Mac Icon?

I use Mavericks 10.9.3. Please see enclosed picture. Why does QuickTime Player Movie (that has been converted to QuickTime.mov) show a Flip4Mac icon on the top right hand side of movie? How do I remove that Flip4Mac icon?

That watermark is put there by Flip4Mac. Apparently there was a bug in that extension, that was fixed in the latest version:
Version 3.3.0.9:
Removed Flip4Mac watermark from playback.

Why does my bank statement open up in Quicktime Player with only the first page visible?

This month I tried to open my bank statement as usual, and it opened in Quicktime Player. The first page of the statement displays, but I can not scroll to the next pages. I have tested downloading other items, and they downloaded as usual. I don't use Quicktime, and I tried hiding it. But each time I try to see my statement, it comes up again.

Hi Lynda,
What file format is your bank statement in? Is it a PDF or in an .xls/.csv file format? It sounds like the program-to-file association has gotten messed up on the file. If you right-click (or ctrl-click) on the file then:
- Get Info
- Open with
If it's a .pdf then you'll want to associate the file with Preview (or whatever PDF viewer you use). If it's a different file format you'll want to associate it with the program that you typically use for that file type.

Quicktime player app causes screen updates to lag?

I notice gui refreshes are paused by 0.5 seconds every 20 seconds if quicktime player app is loaded.
Example: Load quicktime player app. Now drag a finder around continuously. On my system, every 20 seconds, the finder window will not follow the mouses movements for about 0.5 seconds. About 0.5 seconds after the pause, the window will start to follow the mouses movements again.
No movie needs to play. There is no load on the machine at all.
There are no errors reported in the system logs.
If I quit the app, the problem vanishes.
If i play movies using VLC, there is no lag at all.

Ok so after a few rounds of lugging the computer to the Apple Store's genius bar. I narrowed the problem down to my Samsung synchMaster 244T monitor. This monitor works great with my MacBook Pro and linux machines but for some reason it causes my screen lags on the Mac Pro.
I bought an Apple Cinema display and the problem vanished!
Very odd.

Quicktime Movies Causes UI To Lock Up (Safari & Quicktime Player)

When a page in Safari has an embedded Quicktime Movie, it causes my computer to lockup. It will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. The whole UI just locks up. Same with opening movies in Quicktime Player. I can SSH into the box, and when I run "top", I don't see anything pegging the CPU. The biggest problem is, Safari and Quicktime Player don't "crash", so no crash report is generated, and I have nothing to reference. I can issue a "sudo reboot" and the machine will restart.
If I set Safari to run in Rosetta, I experience no problems. Same with the Quicktime Player. However, Firefox work perfectly displaying Quicktime Movies.
I have the most current firmware and system updates. The problem is reproducible with a fresh user account, as well as with a clean system install. I even went to the trouble of zeroing the drive, and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS. I tested pre updates, and post updates, and it is reproducable across all instances. This was all done in front of a Genius at the Apple Store.
He was stumped...

I'm not a QuickTime engineer but I noticed that the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin first appeared in Tiger and version 7. It caused me some grief when using the Safari Activity window to find source URL's for QuickTime files in pages. Removing it allowed the URL to appear in the Activity window.
Now most pages use javascript (.js) files to display QuickTimme files so they don't appear in the Activity window.
I beleive that the plug-in is used by Dashboard Widgets (also html files) to do some kind of "voodoo" similar to the plug-in architecture of Web browsers.
I've just applied at the La Cantera Apple Store for a job. Is that where you "stumped the genius"?

I have a problem - the program QuickTime player longer open files - gororit that codec for the opening of the program at all of the files that I opened have the extension avi. tried to remove a program, it is impossible.I tried to load the program from Apple, reinstalled. but I was wrong still going on! what to do?

before using for all entries in, u need to check whether the driver internal table is empty, if it is empty, u should not enter into select statement.
if u wont use this check means, when the driver internal table is empty, the second select will take all the entires from the tables.
SELECT AEBELN ALIFNR AKNUMV BVGABE BEBELP BGJAHR B~BELNR
        FROM EKKO AS A
        INNER JOIN EKBE AS B ON BEBELN = AEBELN
        INTO CORRESPONDING
        FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB WHERE B~VGABE = '2'.
if itab[] is not initial.
   SELECT EKPOEBELN EKPOMATNR EKPOTXZ01 EKPOWERKS EKPO~NETWR
          EKPOMENGE EKPOMWSKZ
      FROM EKPO
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB1
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ITAB
      WHERE EBELN = ITAB-EBELN.
endif.
I hope this will help u.

Why can't I open mp4 movies in my new QuickTime Player. I just upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I opened one of my movie clips in mp4 file it was opened by my MPEG Streamclip and not with the new QuickTime Player that came with the new OS. I need to manually open the Quicktime Player and Open file the mp4 movie I want to play it. I have no problem with the QuickTime Pro that I was using in my previous OS before I upgraded. I did not encounter this problem, however, with my iMac Intel when I upgraded it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Quicktime Player in my iMac Intel automatically opens my mp4 movies. Only my flv files are opened automatically by my MPEG Streamclip as I expected to. Why?

No clue what you are trying to communicate or what this has to do with using an iPhone in a Enterprise (Corporate) environment.
