WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

Windows Vista + iTunes Video = skipping

I have a computer with Windows Vista and I can't get iTunes video to work properly. The sound will be fine, but the video skips and stops and then finally I get an error message saying that iTunes has to close. Please tell me that there is some kind of solution. I have updated my Vista software, my itunes software and anything else that I can think of.

First Update your iTunes Version to the newest one!
Got this issue with older iTunes when Vista was new.
If its still there check the CPU Usage and RAM Usage with the Task Manager (STRGALTDEL)

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.

I uninstalled itunes, downloaded new version and the setup file won't launch. I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Can anyone help?

Is there an error message when you try to launch the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe)? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:

2 X 512KB L2 Cache

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.

OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
Let me know if this works for everyone else.

Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

Hi all,
I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Ned,
I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now. I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
-it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
-it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
What I did in here:
I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
================================================================
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
skip_intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.cnn.com"), "_blank");
/* On Cue Point Event Handler
Executes the fl_CuePointHandler function defined below each time a cue point is passed in the specified video instance.
Instructions:
1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
The code will execute when cue points are reached in a video that is playing.
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
video.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, fl_CuePointHandler);
function fl_CuePointHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void
// Start your custom code
// This snippet code displays the cue point's name in the Output panel
// trace(event.info.name);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
navigateToURL(url);
// End your custom code

Faulty iTunes Video Playback

Dear All,
I’ve unfortunately encountered a problem with iTunes video playback after installing iTunes 10 (and now iTunes 10.1) on my new Dell computer. The computer has hardware which should run iTunes with no problems (dedicated video card, 4 GB ram and a nice screen), and has Windows 7 installed, with the newest BOIS (Dell Studio XPS 16).
My iTunes video though is faulty. TV Shows bought from iTunes run in a way that’s halting and really choppy. No other video plays this way on the computer, just in iTunes. And its much more exaggerated when the video is stretched to full screen or made larger in any way. Its unnoticeable if I make the video the size of a notecard on my computer. It makes video unwatchable if its full screen.
Anything I can do? Any ideas? I’ve followed all the suggestions in this article to no avail (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718), except for the IDE step, which doesn’t seem to be an option on my computer?
Thank you for all your help.

There have been reports of problems like this when iTunes has a big version jump.
I've not witness any problems that you have, I'm running on low power on battery and video still plays fine in iTunes, even fullscreen. My laptop is probably less powerful than yours is.
Problems like this seem to come about if there is a major software revision and the software isn't removed properly before installing a newer version.
Try http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 this is how to completely remove iTunes to install a newer version. Best to do a backup first just in case. If that doesn't work, there is another way, but we'll try that one for now.

G5 crashes during iTunes video playback after Leopard install

I have a G5 1.6 single-processor running 10.5.1. Since I installed Leopard, I have been experiences frequent crashes during iTunes video playback (TV shows bought in the iTunes store). The crashes hang my whole system and require a restart by holding down the power button. The video itself sort of "blip-blip-blips" during the crash, but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive, windows don't do anything, etc.
Any thoughts? Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Ever since I installed Leopard on my dual 2ghz G5, neither itunes nor quicktime player works. They both crash on launch. Maybe not the same issue, but I'm regretting the upgrade.

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,
Max

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?

Problem with itunes video playback.

many of my high quality video files seem to run so smoothly with my media players lik VLC, but when i play them in itunes the video gets stuck and the audio keeps playing.. how do i solve this..

What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

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.

Itunes Video Quality issues and crash in Windows vista

When using itunes listening to music works great, however when i play music videos purchased from the store they keep on skiping and after a while itunes will close and a message from windows will appear saying the software stopped working. when the video is playing the sound is fine and plays quite happily in the background however the video freezes and jumps.

Have you tried this article:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista video playback performance issues

ITunes + Windows Vista + Games = Unsatisfactory playback experience

My system details:
Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB RAM
Windows Vista Ultimate w/ latest updates
iTunes 7.5.0.20
NVIDIA 7950GT video card w/ 512MB memory
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Soundcard w/ latest drivers
10k RPM SATA drive for OS
10k RPM SATA drives for data (where music resides)
You'd think this would be enough to play music on iTunes without skipping. You would be wrong.
With only Firefox & iTunes running, it still manages to skip/crackle on playback when loading webpages/tabs.
What gives?
Only iTunes does this, other applications manage playing 128kbit without any problems. E.g. WinAmp, Windows Media Player.
Doesn't happen in Mac OS X on my iTunes there, so clearly there are still "issues" with playback on Windows.

Numerous people have reported problems playing iTunes videos on Vista if the videos are stored on SATA disk drives.
From what I can tell looking at HP's website, almost all new HP systems include SATA disks. If you don't know whether your system has SATA disks, tell us the exact model number and we can probably figure it out.
If you do have the iTunes videos on SATA disks problem, there is currently no known solution.

Video playback ISSUES in iTunes

Hi, All.
I've recently purchased a music video and a movie from iTunes to play strictly in iTunes--I don't have a video iPod.
I had assumed that these videos would playback smoothly with the iTunes software, but I was OH-so-wrong.
At first, the all I could see of the video was a halting, pastel-shaded blob. I consulted the Knowledge base, and did everything listed here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706
Now, I can see my videos, but they are halting and out of sync with the words. I've upgraded my video drivers, display settings, and just about everything else I can think of, but I still do not have seamless video playback.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Remember, I have done everything listed in the above link.
Thanks for your time and help!

Hey Feenix,
So, what version of iTunes is running on the computer? 7.0.2.16? Also what version of Direct X is installed on the computer?(goto Start> Run> dxdiag)
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 will help troubleshoot audio issues. The article will have you edit "Sounds and Audio Devices" through Control Panel; make sure Sound Playback Default Device is set correctly(under Audio tab.)
