I have used the mac the ripper (latest version) to copy some of my DVD movies (legally purchased) to an external HD as a back up because I'm always losing them and scratching them and lending them to people. Anyways, when playing the video-TS folder in VLC, I've noticed that some movies have a bit of a skip between scenes (very minor). This is not there when i play the same folder in Mac OSX DVD player. Also, in DVD player, the Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, has the name of the director, writer, producer popping up on the screen all the way through. Has any else noticed either of these occurring? Any suggestions?
have in the past few weeks uprgraded from tiger to leopard.Everything has been ok but i think i might have deleted some vital part of Quicktime player when i tried to clean up.I only realised this when i decided to get Quicktime player pro which i have paid for and have the key..I have tried to download quicktime from apple support website and just about any other website for that matter but zero.zilch.Installer takes me through the process but i get no player.
I have tried to remove all components of quicktime but to no avail.the download intalls but goes nowhere.Have tried to maybe 'jumpstart' it by double clicking quicktime time movies but there is just nothing going on.

Digital movies play just fine on my camera, a NIkon Coolpix but once I import them to either quicktime or windows media player they do not play smoothly. Any ideas why or what I can do to correct this?
Info: quicktime or windows media player , Windows XP, camera digital films won't play
Just noticed there is a new version of VLC player out. Version 1.1.0. And it seems like it is now 64 bit!!! One thing i did notice though is that the new version is about 130mb. thats nearly double the old one. I guess 130mb still isn't all that bad at all. Still kind of weird it is double the size.

is there any application which can play blu-ray? I have a correct blu-ray folder structure on my harddisk (bdmv) and can't play it with Quicktime, DVD-Player or VLC. On Windows I have found a way but not for OS X yet.
I tried to record the live TV on Filmon HDI Player 2.10.11 and I can see on top that said recording and everything but I can't find the recorded file after I stopped the recording. Is it a bug or is there anyway that I can fix it. I try using the PC and I can record and I can see the recorded file and playback no problem. So the problem is only when I use my MacBook Pro with Filmon HDI Player for Mac.
One reason that Keynote doesn't have that much penetration is that there is no Keynote Viewer or Player (like PowerPoint has) for the PC.
I would love to use my Keynote to make a presentation, but most places I present have PCs. It is so much easier to plug a thumbdrive in, rather than bring a mac from home just to give a talk. So I end up using PowerPoint on my Mac.
Why can't Apple do what PowerPoint does and create a small Keynote Viewer for PCs? Then we could save the Keynote presentation, and its viewer onto a thumbdrive and play it anywhere there are only PCs (like 95% of the world)
Simply saving a Keynote file in Powerpoint mode doesn't work, since lots of slide transitions, animations, etc get messed up in the process.
Is there any software out there other than Apple DVD Player that can play (non-commercial) HD DVDs? Apple's player is dropping frames on my system so I'd like to try something else if possible.
Otherwise, are there any tricks to get better performance out of DVD Player?
I have recently bought an imac and would like to use my sony mp3 player (model: nwzs616f) with itunes to download music to and from it. When i connect the player via usb, itunes does not recognise it. Is there a way I can connect the player and get itunes to recognise it?
I've just got a MBP that came with quicktime X. I assume this is the best/latest quicktime player but when I try watch some videos it wont play them, it just shows me a largish icon of the older Quicktime player icon. Anyone know why it doesn't play with QTX? I have tried downloading Quicktime 7 to just view these videos but half way through setting up it stops me putting it on my hard drive something about already there and to check software for updates.
If I get a conventional mp3/aac player that uses standard USB storage, if there something I can get that will sync it with my Itunes collection? I figure there would be two ways; it could just copy the Itunes directory which always has things sorted by artist, or it could try and duplicate my playlists as folders. I'd prefer the latter. Does anyone make software that does this?
I'm currently running a fairly small online radio operation from my iMac with Nicecast. I am using Nicecast's built-in server to stream an m3u file to peers at 128k each. Being a home user, my upload bandwidth is relatively narrow, and I face severe instability, lag, buffering, and disconnection issues when I get to a certain number of peers.
What I want to do is stream one m3u file to a web player which anyone could connect do without connecting directly to my system. That way I would only need to stream to one peer (that being the player) and therefore would have no bandwidth issues to worry about.
This may be...a bit odd...A friend and I like to watch movies together alot. Phone isn't available. Im getting tired of useing IM with a minimized moviescreen. Is there an app ( cross platform would be nice ) that has a built in movie player that also has a built in IM client? is there an add on to Adium for this?
i have a macbook pro with snow leaopard, and this just started. I can hear everything, and can control, but can't see anything on the screen, it's all black. how do i fix this issue?
I own a Macbook Pro and today I realised that it wasn't reading any DVDs. It has read them before in the past but it won't now.
Whenever I put the DVD in it waits for a while making it's regular sounds and after about a minute it ejects it, doesn't even read the disc or anything.
I don't know why but I was having problems with wmp, so i decided to throw it in the recycle bin and just dl it again, and re install. So when i tried to empty the Trash, a box comes up telling me a certain file within wmp cannot be deleted cause its "protected".
I'm a bit of an audiophile sitting in my home studio listening to music. I just switched to mac and was wondering if there's some music application that can play music files in a suberb quality through a 24-bit soundcard.
I have had a lot of issues with Adobe Flash Player causing grief in Safari, and now it is causing it to crash. I am on a clean installation of OS X (just formatted and reinstalled yesterday).
I should point out that I use Adobe CS4 and have Flash CS4 installed. Maybe that is causing a conflict?
Does anyone know if I can get a win-amp like skin for itunes? I hate how the mini player takes up so much space, if I could make it longer and shorter(instead of this stubby one) it'd be so much more convenient.
I just got a MacBook Pro and have always used PCs before that. I'm looking for a simple music player that is like WinAmp on PCs. I know that most people use iTunes but I don't need so many functions out of a music player, all I need is something that plays my mp3s, .WAVs, etc without all the fuss and deal with simple playlists.
Sometimes I watch documentaries and take notes for class and it would be nice to have VLC player lay on top of word and be transparent. I don't need it to be full screen. It's also nice to watch a video while browsing the internet.
