Difficult to say, we couldn't reproduce the problem on a Mac 10.6.4 system with regular mpeg-1 files. One possible cause could be the encoding of the media files. But maybe you used the same files in previous versions of ELAN on previous versions of the OS without the same problems? Do the same problems occur with e.g. regular mpeg 1 files?

I'm encountering this same problem occasionally (Mac OS 10.6.7). There seems to be no pattern to it, sometimes the Play Selection works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it acts like the Play button. I have noticed that when I click Play Selection and it doesn't work, then when I click again, the playing pauses, and then clicking again, the Play Selection works. There must be something in the video, as I'm using .m4v as well. I haven't tried using the short key for Play Selection.

Hello, I have simular problems with "play selection". I'm using mac OS 10.6.7 with ELAN 3.9.1. My video format is AVI. I'm working with ELAN for one year now and two days ago this malfunction started to show. Are there any clues? Do you need more info on my system setup? Thanks.
