I posted a thread few weeks ago complaining about my 7D.mov files that were skipping frames.
I'm writing this just in case any of you have the same trouble...
It wasn't so simple and I still cannot conclude that, but it was sorted out like this, after a combination and different attempting:
I was using the snow leopard dvd to repair disk and permissions, but nothing helped. So I used the installation dvd that came with my computer and repaired all, then I did the same with and again with the snow leopard. Even this time it was written that one permission couldn't be fixed, but the disk repair was successful: no frozen or slow app and the 7D.mov files were playing very well even from a 5400rpm USB external drive!
Ok, good, I have now working 7D.mov's.
But then I realized that I'm working all this time without battery (It bursted!!!) using the AC power and the led of it was quite weak, not very bright... Actually this AC power adaptor (a bit bigger than the original) is a 2° one that I had to buy because the stock one I lost. I cleaned it very well, even if I couldn't see any dirty and now the led is bright, oh yeah, now it is normal...
So, I was concluding this:
Or my AC power was oscillating power (dirty or not) that caused the burst of my battery and wasn't providing enough energy to play the movies and slowing down the app's.
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Tomorrow I'll carefully test the AC power... if it was an AC power malfunction I will certainly ask for new battery and AC power replacement.
Thank you all
