9to5mac.com is reporting video-related freezes popping up across the web in regards to the new Mac OS X Lion operating system.

Here’s what they have to say:

We have received numerous tips regarding issues with OS X Lion resulting in Macs freezing after waking up from sleep. A thread on Apple’s Discussion forum about this problem already has over 12,000 views and more than 300 replies. The issue appears to predominantly affect 2011 iMacs, although some of the posters have reported freezes after waking up their MacBook Pros from sleep. The only solution is to hard-reset the machine by holding down the power button.

Other people report freezes when playing back video clips in iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand and other apps. Moreover, the problem is persistent regardless of whether users have the latest version of Flash Player installed, or any version of it for that matter. This suggests a likely problem with the QuickTime subsystem which mostly handles video encoding and decoding in third-party applications, in which case either the 10.7.1 update or a graphics firmware update could fix this problem. Here’s a little trick to help alleviate the freeze after playback issue…

We have not experienced anything of the like a MacOSLion.org. But if you do, 9to5mac.com goes on to state what you can do about it:

1. Enable automatic restart after a freeze

Open System Preferences from Dock and navigate to Energy Saver. Tick the “Restart automatically if the computer freezes” box.

2. Turn on Finder’s Resume feature

Choose Restart from the Apple menu and have the “Reopen windows when logging back in” box checked. Restart once to make sure Lion has sprung your open windows to life.

Simple enough if you have any issues. Which again, we’ve experience no type of crashes whatsoever (knock on wood). Have you had video-related freezing issues?
