Some videos stop and go whats going on?

I have owned an iphone for a couple of weeks. It seems that often (or maybe always) when playing a video from apps and youtube, the video keeps stopping. If you keep pressing the play button, the video may play for a couple of seconds but then stops. This happens with my daughters iphone bought at the same time. What is happening?
Please Help ASAP...

What's happening is the video is playing faster than it can be downloaded, so it stops often. The trick is to let your iPhone decide on when to start playing the video... it will start the video automatically when it determines that you can watch the entire video without stopping and waiting for the download to catchup.

Some videos stop playing at 480p (Chrome & IE)

Hello, I'm new here. I know theres a "Chromium forum" to problems like this, but there I got no response, so I hope someone help me here.
I'm having an unusual problem, I think. Some videos (the minority) suddenly stops playing at a specific time (not the same time for all videos)... Some videos stops at the beginning, others at the end... The time where they stops is already buffered. The "Pause" button becomes, automatically, a "Play" button, and if I click on it, the video doesn't resumes. And doesn't appears that "loading icon".
I've tested on Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (64-bit Edition) and Chrome, both have the same problem. But the interesting is that this problem only occurs on 480p!
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVjsGKrE6E8. In this video, exactly at 4:29, it stops on IE & Chrome, only on 480p. When I change to another resolution the problem is solved. I really don't know what is going on, since I've tried everything to solve this problem...
I've tried: cleaning Chrome & IE's cache/cookies/plugin data, Windows Cache, Temporary Internet Files (IE's cache?), fixing the Windows registry with CCleaner, reinstalling Flash for both IE and Chrome, activating/deactivating different verions of Flash on Chrome ("chrome://plugins/") and cleaning Flash's cache (I don't know if it was really the cache). Nothing worked.
I've tested in a notebook here and the problem occurs too!
Notebook:
Chrome 22.0.1229.94 m
Flash ("chrome://plugins"): 11.4.31.110
My computer:
Chrome 23.0.1271.52 beta-m
Flash ("chrome://plugins"): 11.4.31.200
There are 2 versions of Flash on "chrome://plugins" in my computer and in the notebook. Both have 1 different version, but both have 1 version in common: 11,4,402,287. I've tried disabling it and/or the other version on both, but the problem persists...
The only thing that comes in my mind is:
1) It's an ISP's problem.
2) It's a YouTube's problem.
3) It's a problem related to my router/modem (I've tried restarting both, but didn't work).
My computer is running on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and the Chrome is my main browser. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 (but even when its disabled, the problem occurs) and the notebook has no antivirus, so, it's not a problem related to any antivirus.
Help? ):

We are seeing similar issues with content delivered via an rtmp streaming. The content is approximately 1100kbps. The video will stop usually about 2 seconds into playback but is intermittant. If the user seeks to the begginning of the video or farther into the video, playback will execute as expected. In all cases we have noticed that Flash is using 100% CPU.

Video Stops and Go's

I've just added 2 gbs of ram to my iMac bringing the total ram to 4 gbs total. My iMac is running much better but I noticed when streaming video from the internet the sound is uninterupted but the video stops and go's. I have a cable internet connection so I don't think it's the bandwidth. Can my processor be the problem or is there a setting I can adjust to stream better? It seems that it isn't buffering the stream.

hi Katrina!
So perhaps it is a QuickTime setting?
unfortunately, i've seen more solutions to the audio problems with videos rather than the visuals. there's some good stuff in here though (view all):

Video stopping and starting on macbook pro

All video stops and starts and takes forever to play. What can I do?

You posted in the iMac forum. Even though the issue could be the same on either Mac, you might try the MBP forum for better help.

Videos stop and start

I've got a fast computer w/plenty of ram. I can watch videos from all other sources perfectly smooth, including Quicktime HD movie trailers.
When I try to watch a video in iTunes it slows my computer down so much that besides the videos stopping and starting, my mouse won't even move smoothly.
It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago.

Phyllis-
One reason is that your internet connection is not fast enough to keep up with the video. You may find that when it gets to the end of the video and has fully downloaded, it will replay without stopping.

Videos stopping and starting.

YYou tube and sky go stopped working properly from one day to the next. The videos stop and start every two minutes. There is a spinning icon next to the wifi icon when this happens. Why?

Well, ipad 1 has not got the best wifi. Your iPad may be lagging (because it's old) and can't cope with video playback. maybe it's time for a better ipad?

Buffered videos stop and start

I am trying to watch online video and tv. The video streaming stops and starts. It can be youtube, vimeo, or a television show online -- same poor result. I have a very slow connection. Knowing this, I always wait for the video to buffer -- there is always a greyed buffered bar well ahead of where I am watching. The video still stops and starts. Is this a connection issue or something else? Thanks.

T1 that is brutally slow, but I had hoped that despite how slow the connection is, the buffering would eventually get it downloaded. So even though its buffering, the slow T1 can still make the videos stop and start?

Podcasts and tv shows videos stop and start when playing. The Audio flows fine, but video freezes for a moment and continues. Do you know what I can do to fix?

When watching a podcast or tv program on itunes the video freezes and starts. The audio still flows just fine. Do you know what the solution might be?

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

*** HDV print to video stutters and never gets going.

I'm working in HDV and trying to print my project to video and am having absolutely no success. I've checked and my camera IS connected. I conformed to HDV before choosing file>print to video and then DID to the latter.
When I press record on my camera and return on the keyboard it looks like it starts going, but the minute my sequence starts playing the time on the camera starts and stops and nothing gets printed to the tape.
Can anyone suggest what to do here? I really need to print this project back to tape.......
Thanks in advance!

I would say yes set the camera to HDV recording, and many times the ilink setting is not set to HDV so the signal is coming to the camera in HDV but the camera is set to and looking for DV.
You control the ilink/firewire port manually on the Z1, however any changes must be made while the FW cable is disconnected.
Try this, turn off the camera, disconnect the FW cable, turn on the camera in VTR mode, open the menu to Rec In/Out, find i-link conv and set to OFF for HDV (or ON for DV), then back out of the menu and turn off the camera and connect the FW cable, and turn it back on. By turning off the camera it will insure safe FW connections so there is not possibility of shorting this port.
These step will properly set the deck up to receive HDV.
Good Luck

Some videos stop playing for a while, Ipod 60 GB

Hi,
My problem is that I loaded into my iPod a lot of videos, and they in iTunes work fine, but, in my iPod, some of them, after a few seconds, stop playing, then continue, but without sound, if I go back or forward, the sound appear again, but then after a few seconds, happen again...
Regards,
Kike

Workaround
I think i found a workaround for the freezing problem, without downgrading the firmware.
Before the video freezes, pause the video in the Ipod, slide the hold button to hold, wait some seconds , slide it back again. Start the video again, and slide the button over to hold again. Now the video wont freeze
works everytime for me ..

Videos stopping and starting every three to five seconds

I am having problems downloading videos from U Tube and msn. I can't even download videos from the Apple Site. The videos from U Tube stop and start every 3 to 5 seconds. They resume after 3 to 5 seconds. I have downloaded the latest version of QuickTime. I have gone into preferences-advanced and changed the transport setup to custom; set transport protocol to http and post to 80. I have also clicked on the streaming tab; set the speed to one lower than the ISP connection and move th enable instant on slider 2-3 bars from the left. What else can I try?

There is currently no official version of MSN Messenger for Mac that supports video, unfortunately-- you might try aMSN instead, but I haven't used it myself so can't comment on the video support:
http://www.amsn-project.net/
However, the built-in camera works fine for me on Skype (and Yahoo last time I tried, which was a while ago), which suggests something else might be wrong somewhere...

Video stops and starts

Sometimes video streaming makes images stop and start every 2 minutes or so, and although it doesn't always happen the problem it's getting worse. Is there any way of fixing it? Thanks

Do a Speedtest, you need at least 4Mbps to stream nicely.
