In this day and age this can happen when there are so many different Formats and Media's used, some good and some not so good.
Here is a test for you. Download this, Free VLC Player and see if your problems don't go away.

This Player will play just about anything you throw it's way.

I have a similar problem on my iMac.
Could installing the VLC player mess up my existing Mac installation in any way?
Is it easy to remove if I don't like it?
Thanks!

If you don't like VLC, then go to Mac HD and Applications and drag any folder to the trash an empty the trash and wal-la it will be gone.
It will not harm your machine in anyway.
Here is a side note: VLC is the best Player right now for older Mac's Period, but if for whatever reason you don't care for it trash it.
