Title: QuickTime Skipping with Neuros R2 Videos Post by: BrianDubya on June 14, 2006, 09:34:56 PM The following are exerpts from a posting i did on Apple's QuickTime Forum:
I am having a QuickTime "stuttering" problem with a 640x480 M4P video I recorded using my Neuros MPEG R2. It plays flawlessly in Realplayer and VLC. As so many in the Apple QuickTime forum have attested, this is a common problem in QT7 under Tiger. I record a video in an industry standard format (MPEG4) and it plays perfectly in RealPlayer and VLC (both free players) but doesn't play in QuickTime properly (also a free player). I have bought into the "upgrade" of QuickTime Pro and it still doesn't play the videos properly. These are videos I recorded with the Neuros Recorder 2 and a tiny neat device it is. How is it that 2 players compatible with the MPEG4 format have no problems playing this industry standard format and QuickTime does? And if the other "free" players can play videos that are possibly "non-compliant" why can't Apple? brian@weir.org Title: Re: QuickTime Skipping with Neuros R2 Videos Post by: neo979 on June 16, 2006, 12:49:57 PM Although this doesn't directly answer your question, RealPlayer for Mac OS X just patches through to QuickTime for just about every format except RealMedia. I'm pretty sure that includes MP4. Maybe the issue is just with QuickTime Player?
Actually, I've played MP4 files in QuickTime Player without problems, although it is, of course, very CPU intensive. I don't have MP4 files from my Neuros, though, since I have the N1. |
