    Try using VLC Player. It could be iTunes doesn't like the codec it's using, actually shouldn't you be playing videos in Quicktime? Don't think iTunes supports video playback!

    Itunes usually supports mp4, was hoping to stream it to my apple tv, tried converting it to a different file had no effect.

    cheers for the help but the programme he suggests using in that piece is 8 quid, I'll just copy the movie onto my ps3. thanks for the help, it really annoys me when iTunes just decides to stop working.

    Simple answer: Software worth using is worth paying for.

    More complicated: shoulda thought of that before getting trapped in Apple's golden cage.
