Q: OSX Lion + 2011 iMac 27'' + Video = Freeze

Anyone else notice that after installing 10.7.1 and a restart the "AC3MovieImport.component" was automatically placed in the trash? (At least I think it was rather than something I had done!) Perhaps that was a big part of the problem after all.

I'm still angry!

I have a Mac Pro and my issue is STILL not fixed with 10.7.1.

I never had a single freeze with flash videos in Safari... it has always been in iTunes or QuickTime Player. My Mac Pro doesn't need to go to sleep to have it freeze during a video and I've tried 2 different video cards already.

My Mac Pro still freezes with 10.7.1 when I try to play videos (not in Safari).

Grrrrrrrrrrr. THIS *****!

Nobody else has this problem?

Not here. AC3MovieImport.component still resides in Library:Quicktime as it was before upgrading to 10.7.1

However, I'm hopeful because I haven't had a system lockup since upgrading.

Same here, brand new iMac that came with Lion pre-installed. Is there a way to avoid it? It doesn't only happen after comming out of sleep. Is there a response from Apple? Are they working on a fix?

bcqdan, did you apply 10.7.1? On iMac the issue should be solved with that.

Thanks Nightfae, actually I just did a software update. I don't know what version of the OS i had before, but now I have 10.7.1. So far seems ok, I'm playing videos and it doesn't freeze but it was rarely happening in the first place. I see other people saying it's not fixed in 10.7.1.

Anyway, thanks again, I'll get back to this thread if the problem happens again.

Anyone confirmed 10.7.1 addresses the playing video after sleeping problem? 

I've installed the update, and have so far not been able to cause any freezes. This said, there have been other times when it took a while. It's too soon to tell as far as I'm concerned.

I will note that my case was escalated to senior support engineers, and they didn't get back to me telling me that this update was available and would resolve the issue.

I was escalated to a senior support technician, they said the'd call back, which they didn't!

I've just applied the 10.7.1 update and the video freeze issue appears to have been resolved.

Shotly after my last post, I ran Software Update and updated from 10.7 to 10.7.1.

Everything running fine

Seems to be fixed with 10.7.1!

Just wanted to say that I installed 10.7.1 this morning and my freeze issue has now gone

Mine have returned after I got rid of them almost all

iMac i7, 3 weeks old, now with 10.7.1, slept overnight.. Ran some videos this am, so far so good.  Will know for sure after a full day of editing video and working. But looks good. GO AHEAD AND UPDATE.

And I have never had "AC3MovieImport.component" in the OS or on the hard drive anywhere, before or after the update to 10.7.1. Nor anything with "Perian" in it (except all the email messages referring to it).
