Issues with video playback on iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 (I had this issue with the iPad 1st gen. as well), and I'm having some playback issues on movies and TV shows purchased through iTunes. I've removed the movies/shows and re-synced, I'm using the cable that came with my iPad.
     The issue is that when I'm watching a movie/show, the video will freeze, get very pixelated, and then pick back up anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes later in the video. I had this issue with 2 of the first gen iPads (as stated above) and took those back to the store, however my iPad 2 was a prize from a contest and cannot be returned.
     I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but if anyone has any tips or answers about this that could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
     Thank you.

Ok, I created this sample file by tearing some code out of a larger project. Its a little light on comments and the code could be cleaned up a lot but it works fairly well. This example uses stageVideo with a fallback to a regular netstream video object. It is based loosely on several sample stageVideo source that I found online.
When you tap on the play button in the example it first loads in a custom player container, then it converts the entire stage to a bitmap and masks this bitmap using a mask bitmap that is created from the library. This mask creates a hole through the bitmap version of the stage contents so that the stageVideo is visible. (Because stageVideo is always drawn under everything in the displaylist.)
This example also has an iOS styled player UI that I created so that it would look similar to the native video player. It has play, pause, a video scrubber and full screen mode. There is a small sample h.264 video included in the example so you can test it out and see it work. On the iPad make sure that your videos are in a folder or in the root and that the folder or files are added to the included file list for your app. Also make sure that the render mode in your app.xml file is either GPU or Direct. Beyond that if you have problems or questions let me know.

    Lindsay,
    Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
    Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
    It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
    I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
    Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

  • Issues with video playback

    Seem to be having quite a few difficulties with video playback in apps, it seems often once a video has played once it doesn't want to play again.
    Can anybody explain why this is happening please?

    I am having the same problem. I load a video on to my IPad. If I watch part of the video and then stop, it will not loud the video portion again. When I launch it, I hear the audio, but no picture. Just black screen. If I then unload the video file, reload it...it will work, but again only the first time. Just started happening. Not an issue with encoding as for the first 3 months I never had a single problem with any of these. Also, happens whether I load the video on my IPad or watch it streaming with AirVideo.
    Any answers?

  • Issue with video playback

    I'm having an issue where video playback drops to 1 frame per second or less. The problem occurs when I have the mouse on the same screen as the video (dual screen setup) or on the second screen.
    As you can see in my information, I'm running an IBM Thinkpad T43 with a Viewsonic q20wb monitor.
    Thanks for the help!

    Yes, I have just used the normal Video-object together with the normal trick to load Flash Video files with it. Nothing special only with a full URL for the play()-method. I have attached the source code for your convenience. The original files are edited in Premiere Pro CS4 and are based on one original ripped DVD vob file and a newly created Quicktime-based slideshow animation which has then be edited into one using Premiere.
    After that I  have selected the sequence of the Premiere project which I have exported using File > Export which is using Adobe Media Encoder. For the encoding I haved used the Export Settings: "Format FLV | F4V", Codec On2 VP6 and then altered the video size and bitrate so that the file size gets smaller this is for the Alzheimer08.f4v file. The other file used the H.265 Web Medium profile with also the video size and bitrate modified after it got encoded and uploaded to my webserver.
    The original files used by the Premiere Pro project are:
    VTS_01_1.dv
    Type: DV Stream
    File Size: 2.6 GB
    Image Size: 720x576
    Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
    Compressor: DV - PAL
    Quality: Normal (3.00)
    SLIDESHOW 2.mov
    Type: QuickTime Movie

    Image Size: 720 x 576
    Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
    Compressor: DV - PAL
    Quality: Most (5.000)
    Above information is obtained in Premiere Pro by selected Properties-option of the submenu when selecting the file.
    Hopefully you can use this information but I could upload the original Premiere Pro project over the next few days. If you would be interested in it.

  • Portege R700 - Issues with video playback with resolution over 360p

    I've got this video playback issue from day one. While for instance on YouTube, videos with resolution above 360p freeze up while the sound is ok.
    I've contacted Toshiba through which I got a linke to the latest bios and drivers. After the upgrade issue persists. I sometimes get a green screen while watching flash video as well. I'm guessing this is a graphic card hardware issue. Any ideas? Thanks! (Portege R700 19L, win7 pro 64)

    Hello
    Have you tried watching videos in high performance mode and tested different Internet browsers?

  • Issue with video playback in Flash Player

    I am currently doing some voluntary work for my mom for the local branch of the Alzheimer Foundation. Now I have encoded a video to mpeg4/h.264 and F4V using the Adobe Media Encoder only I am having not much luck to get it successfully played. Now is my question what could I be doing wrong? I already tried to use ActionScript 2 and 3 and disabled GZIP compression on the server and even tried different files like H.264 and F4V.
    The strange thing is that the video always work just fine when being tested in Flash CS4 10.2 but when I tried it in the browser it fails. The Test Movie feature of Flash is using the following player version MAC 10,0,12,36. I am using 10,0,32,14 MAC in my Safari browser and their the movie plays fine once the file is fully downloaded (how can I change this?) only when let friends try it out which have version 10,0,32,18 or the same version it doesn't work for them. Also when I am using an older version doesn't seem to work. I thought that H.264 support was added in some version of Flash Player 9. One of the issues which I was getting that the video playback worked lovely in Test Movie with the below listed alzheimer.mp4 url but when testing after the SWF and HTML were uploaded to the webserver it failed to work and I was receiving a FileStructureInvalid error. Now I would expect that the video file would fail in Test Movie too when the video file structure is invalid.
    I have tried the following video files both encoded with Adobe Media Encoder:
    http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.mp4
    http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer08.f4v
    The current player can be found at:
    http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.html
    I have attached my As3 version of the Flash file which is normal easy video stuff.
    Anyone happen to know what could be the issue here? I am getting desperate!

  • Issues with video playback, messed up shuffle mode with playlist sharing

    I have a Mac (10.4.7) and a PC (XP SP2)... both are running iTunes 7 downloaded on September 12. All of my media is on my PC, and I do playlist sharing with my PowerBook across mu home network. A few issues with iTunes 7 that didn't exist for me in iTunes 6.0.5:
    - Video playback is like multicolored TV snow. This happens on my PC as well as when the video is shared to my Mac.
    - When sharing the music to my Mac, and I'm listening in shuffle mode, many times the same song will play twice in a row.
    - I've only had this happen once so far (in the last 24 hours), but again I was listening to music shared to my Mac. One song played, then started to play again for the second time in a row. The song played for about 15 seconds, then jumped into another song. After that song was over, it jumped back and played the last 15 seconds of the previous song, all while having a completely different song highlighted in iTunes with the track position set to 0:00. It was very, very odd.

  • Aperture issues with video playback in slideshow

    I'm trying to add a few videos into a slideshow but seem to be hitting an issue with playback. The mpeg4 files play perfectly fine in my project folder but when I drag it into my slideshow I only hear the audio of the video, no picture. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm running Aperture 3.4.5

    Sorry, that should read .mp4. Have also tried .MOV with no success in the playback of the slideshow.

  • PE11 issues with video playback.

    I have a few issues I am trying to work through and need some help.  First, I am trying to edit an old homemade DVD that used VOB files.  First, all of the VOB files play correctly in Organizer andmy problems are with the editor.   On one of the VOB files , I get audio for about 10 seconds then it stops. How can I get it back?
    Most of the time, when I load the VOB files I get a "preview" and cannot get all of the frames to display or playback.   On occasion, they will open up when I load them.  What am I doing wrong.?
    For some reason, the time line indicator always starts out working, but after a few minutes, it stops tracking the playback and jumps to the current location when the playback is stopped.  How do I fix that?
    I have tried renaming the VOB files as mpeg  but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum, and thanks to Barbara B. for moving the post here.
    When you say "I am trying to edit an old homemade DVD that used VOB files. " I wonder if you are having issues with the first VOB, which can also contain Menus and navigation info, along with the MPEG-2 material, which can span several VOB's. Some software, and most DVR's write the first VOB out of the DVD-specs., and those create problems. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2298534#2298534 for more details, along with Steve's suggestions.

  • Hp 15-d035dx Notebook - I am having issues with videos playback.

    Three weeks ago I bought a hp 15-d035dx Notebook PC and have been having a reocurring issue since day one.  Anytime I wish to view a video it takes forever to load and when it does the stream freezes a minute in and begins to buffer. This issue is also ocurring with webcam streams. I will confess that the computer is refurbished and I'm not sure if that might have something to do with the cause of the issue. I am running on Windows 8.1 (64 bit). The browser that I usually use is Chrome, but I have also tried IE to see if the issue still ocurred and it does. While reading up on this on the web I have tried numerous things, like unistalling adobe shockwave and re-installing it along with flash player but still no success. I have also run the scan on the hp site to see if I might have any missing drivers or issues, but no results are given so I assume everyhing is installed. My internet connection is fine as well and have done the appropiate tests to confirm connection status.  My knowledge of computers is fairly limited so I pray the fix or fixes are relatively simple. Thank You in advance to whoever might respond to this post.

  • Issues with Video Playback HELP

    Hello. I work in Final Cut Pro X at my school and I am making a broadcast news video due tomorrow. To complete it, I needed to take the project home. I saved the XML file and supporting documents to a SD card and downloaded the trial version onto my Macbook Pro. I relinked the files and most of it works but there are several occasions where the screen just goes solid green but the audio still works. I really need to get this video done tonight! HELP!

    Wow. Where did that come from? This media needs to be converted. It's in a non-standard format. SD is supposed to be 720x480 using an anamorphic pixel aspect ratio. It should be in DV or DV50 or some other I-frame codec. This is square pixel standard defintion using what's really an HD codec. Also the audio should never be in a compressed format, but in Linear PCM. I'd suggest converting it using MPEG Streamclip, but you're probably a long way into your project so rebuilding is not an option.
    See if you can optimize the media. Select it and use transcode media. It may not do it for these files because it doesn't normally optimize standard def.

  • I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

    I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

    Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
    Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

  • Problem with video playback with iTunes

    Several problems :
    Problem with video playback with iTunes -
    Since about a week, When I launch a video, it takes a long time to get started, then only the sound starts with no pictures - If I press pause then play the video is played normally. Did anyone face or heard about same kind of issue .
    Problem with permission disk errors
    After re-installing White Tiger and After I installed the last OSX 10.6.5 update
    I found the following problem
    Group differs on "Applications / Utilities / AirPort Utility.app / Contents / Resources / wanArrow.png", should be 0 instead of 80.
    Last but not least :
    My computer seems slow - I have 60gig free on My hard drive and I test my hard drive and everything seems all good .

    What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

  • Intermittent issues with video output initialization

    Hi Guys,
    I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
    1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
    2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
    3)Startup problems (fail to start)
    4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
    So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
    Some of the evidence (I have much more):

    You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
    "Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
    No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
    You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.
