I got my new iMac Quad Core i7 a few days ago. I tried watching youtube videos but the youtube players didnt seem to load. Am i missing some plug-ins? I'm sure they should be fine right out the box.

My current setup is: 2009 20" nvidia iMac, 4GB RAM/640 GB HDI generally would like to know what my expectations for decent video playback should be - thankful for any help people can offer on this:When using the Apple DVD player on full-screen mode, dvd playback seems quite grainy, with pixel lag on fast video sequences. Specifically, I was watching original DVD music concerts. The concerts were at night, so the picture is darker, but on my TV & stand-alone DVD player, the picture was less grainy and there was no 'pixel lag'. During computer playback no other programs were open, WLAN was off. The HD is empty except for Apple's stock software.So, could one or more of the following be a logical reason for grainy playback?:a) it's a computer, not a stand-alone DVD player hooked up to a TV.
b) screen quality: TN panel compared to CRT TV.
c) integrated graphics, i.e.: the 2008 iMac with dedicated ATI Radeon 2600 Pro card would be smoother.
d) display settings on Apple's DVD player. (using stock settings BTW)
e) full-screen mode performance is generally not perfect on any system.
f) none of these - something else entirely.
I have noticed my imac 27" has started being choppy with playback of both divx and flash. I know there are other threads about this for flash but I haven't heard much about divx. I tried installing divx, vlc, and perian, but in all the playback is choppy.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several problems with my NEW Imac. First is trying to archive photos. I select the correct amount of photos from IPhoto to fill a DVD. I initiate the burn process. Near the end of the burn I get a message "error." No explanation, no advice just 'forget it.' I have wasted a few discs before abandoning this operation but my photos are mounting up and I fear losing them if they are not archived. Any ideas? Second is a major problem with creating a slideshow in IDVD. get a faultless preview. Excellent image quality from my photos. I burn a DVD. I then try to play it and it jams up on the 3rd photo. I skip forward and it jams again after one or two photos. Also the quality of the photos is terrible, the dissolves are jumpy and the 'grain' and noise of the photos makes them look like 5th generation VHS. BUT it will play on my $60 DVD player to my television. Same horrible, unacceptable quality and there is always one 'glitch' in the sound, which of course wasn't there in preview. These applications are quite useless unless something can be done to correct them. I'm hoping for a magic button somewhere that will unlock these problems. Third is unrelated to photos. My Epsom colour printer will not print with the font that I have selected for my work. It's there in the font book and my laser printer finds it and prints with it. The Epsom will print this font from my G3 but not from my Imac...?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 2G iMac and I have it connected to a Philips HD TV with a mini-dvi to dvi adapter that is connected to a HDMI-to-DVI video cable. I also have a Y audio cable connected iMac to the AV1 on the TV. The problem is I can only select one source on my TV, either AV1 or HDMI 1. If I select AV1 I can hear the audio from the video streaming on my computer (no video shows on the TV), but if I select HDMI 1 I can only see my desktop background no audio or video. How can I get both the video and audio to play at the same time? Why am I only seeing my background and not video?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought some -R DVDs. I want to burn a 700 MB .avi video onto a DVD so I can play it in my DVD player on my television. I put in -R disk, clicked on the DVD icon when it appeared on the computer screen, pasted in the video file I wanted to burn and it seemed to burn it but when I had finished, I put the DVD into my DVD player connected to television and when I clicked 'play' nothing played, there was just a grey screen.

I own an iMac G5 (not the iSight Version), and I have everything up-to-date (10.5.8). Whenever I try to play a video(be on YouTube, or even on the Mac itself) it doesn't play smoothly, like it plays a few seconds, stops, then plays again.
Info:iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Video Playback not smooth
During video playback (itunes, vlc...) stutters every 50 seconds or so (no exact interval) and the video currently playing pauses for a few seconds, the audio however continues on. After the short pause it skips a few frames ahead. It doesn't seem like a big problem, yet it's very annoying while trying to enjoy a movie.
Also, I'm not sure if these issues are related, but every minute or so my magic mouse jumps around the screen for multiple seconds (not only during a film, all the time...). Also very annoying, as I work with Photoshop & Illustrator, meaning I do very precise work with my mouse.
I just received my refurb 2.8Ghz 24" iMac today. I have been setting it up and transferring files to it for the last few hours. I just installed 4GB of RAM from Crucial to upgrade from my 2GB that came preinstalled. I opened Hulu and started watching a video full screen while I was working on something in the same room. All of a sudden the playing video froze and there was a loud high pitched squeal coming from the speakers and some crackling, followed by another high pitched squeal from the speakers and then the computer froze.
I know it wasn't a fan noise or a hard drive noise, it was definitely a high pitched audio tone and crackling from the speakers when it hung up. The only way I could make it stop is to hold down the power button and turn it the iMac off. I wonder if it could have been my photo collage screensaver kicking in while the hulu video was playing fullscreen that caused something to lock up? It seems like it was in the timeframe from when I walked away from the computer to the time it crashed.
I am running an eMac G4 with 1.25 Ghz and 1.25 Gig RAM. HD is 40 Gig. I believe the vid card is 32 mb. I have the newest version of Flash that the Power PC will support. 10.3 I believe. Youtube and in fact all videos are kind of choppy. Anything I can do here without spending a fortune.

how to download youtube on imac & convert flv to mp4/ mov ?

Everything is wireless. I've got router Linksys WAG300N - maybe this is an issue? If yes how to solve it?
iMac always stays home, but when I tried to watch some videos on Youtube in school everything was very was.
Of course it is not because of my internet speed.
I have 6/7megabitb/s, so download speed is 750-800 kilobytes/s.
I'm trying to make an old iMac G5 (17" 1.8ghz non-iSight model) of mine useful again and am giving it to my mother, but after adding another 1gb stick of memory (making it 1.5gb total), putting in a new 7200rpm 500gb HDD and upgrading it to 10.5, I'm experiencing stuttering youtube in Safari and general sluggishness.
Could it be possible that Leopard, although supporting PPC is slowing it down? Maybe, then, downgrading to Tiger again might fix things. Mostly, I'm confused at why it would be struggling to play YouTube clips in Safari (and in the newest build of Webkit, even).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz Imac and I am running Snow Leoprad 10.6.8. The problem I am having is that since I recently updated Safari, I cannot run Youtube videos. Every time I try watching one, the page crashes. I know I am not alone here and I am surprised Apple has not approached this situation yet. I have tried running youtube videos on Firefox and have had no problems doing so, thus I figure it must be Safari. I've tried running safari in 32 bit mode and that is also not fine. I have emptied the cache and reset Safari as well but still no go.

Before my new iMac took 2 minutes to boot up and I re-installed SL and it is now fixed but now, like the 27 inch, the videos on youtube are really choppy and the sound is messed up. It only happens occasionally and is fixed with a restart and is really annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?
