for some reason my quicktime started locking up in the middle of videos all of a sudden. the audio will play on but the picture will lock on a frame after a few seconds and won't change until you pause the video and unpause it. it's so annoying and it just happened out of the blue. doesn anyone have any suggestions?

im using quicktime 7.0.4 on a 17 inch powerbook 1.67 running os 10.4.4 this problem didn't start after any os update or quicktime update. it was very much out of the blue and is incredibly annoying.

I just recently upgraded to QuickTime 7.0.4 and Mac OS X 10.4.4 and I noticed the same exact thing. Videos that used to play fine, no longer played smoothly... it would skip and stutter and it was unwatchable. But, there IS hope! I went into QuickTime Preferences and I turned off "Use High Quality Video Setting When Available". Now my movies play smoothly again. I'm not sure why QT 7.0.4 has a problem when 7.0.3 didn't but, this trick seems to have cleared it up quite a bit. Try it out and let us know if it cures the problems.
