Flashvideo stuttering, sound not in sync with video

Can't help it: flashvideos are stuttering and the sound is not in sync with the video as the video/picture always is like a second late to the sound.
Tried Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, even with older flashplayer-versions than 11.5.502.110 as it is now, cleared chache, enabled and disabled hardware acceleration, tested different cache memory size (flashplayer internal settings), with or without camera and microphone allowance, every time I get the same results in a choppy / stuttering video and no sync in picture / sound.
My System is as followed:
MacBook Pro early 2008
MacBookPro4,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
2,5 GHz
L2-Cache:    6 MB
RAM:    4 GB
Bus:    800 MHz
with a GeForce 8600M GT
PCIe-Bus
VRAM 512 MB
Internet-connection via cable at least with 5 Mbit/sec up to mostly around 20 Mbit/sec and a 802.11n WLAN (tried LAN cable too, same effect)
My OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to stick with that one, I keep the browsers and the flashplugin always up to date and I am not using a lot of background programs when watching, just one firewall and the usual system processes as I can see in the activity monitor, not much of percentage in processor usage, maybe 2 to 5 in percent all together, talking only of the background usage.
The core / processor usage, when a flashmovie is running, is around 80 to 90 percent,
there is an amount of 45 or so GB harddrive space empty and
somewhat of 1,8 GB of RAM not in use.
The connection-quality as shown in, say the "nfl game pass" window is very good up to max.
Sometimes, when the internet isn't that fast and the connection drops, the picture gets worse and the sound too, but that occurs not very often, maybe once a day and mostly when starting a video. After 10 seconds or so the quality of the picture and sound is high like brilliant HD, cannot complain about that, but the stuttering and out of sync sound remains.
I watch the flash videos at internal mac-book-pro monitor 1440x900 fullscreen, sometimes not fullscreen,
tried an external LCD Sony Bravia Full HD Monitor via DVI to HDMI adapter too
and I am getting always, with any kind of configuration, the same results in stuttering video with sound out of sync.
Did already read faq's and forums and it seems that this is an issue for a long time with very different computer-setups and browsers in various versions of the flash-player. Couldn't find anything in accordance, like same graphic cards or same internetconnections, browsers or else, yet, so it comes down to the flash player.
The issue with the stuttering video and no sync in sound and video occurs at any time of the day with different streams, live, archived - I also tried changing the mac-system-flashplayer settings in different combinations with no change at all: stuttering video, no sync sound.
If there is any information else that you need, please let me know,
I hope you can help as this stuttering and async is getting quite annoying by now...
greez anyway, out of vienna, austria
thanx,
manfred

Hi Manfred,
When you have the high cpu, is hardware acceleration enabled? You mentioned this occurs with all releases that you've tested, does this include 10.3 on Firefox?

Downloaded movie sound not in sync with video

My downloaded itunes movie audio is not in sync with the video. It's like viewing a foreign film without the subtitles. This problem persists with all my existing itune movies. Can this problem be resolved or should I discontinue itune movies purchases.

Ok i found the solution. Installed with compatibility mode of Windows XP.

Problem with "play to device" on windows media player

Hello, I'm having a problem with the play to device feature of windows media player. I am trying to use it to play music files to my T.V. It works fine if i try to play a single file or a small number of files (50 or so), but if I try to play
my entire playlist (346 songs, if it matters)in this way or a large number of random songs, nothing happens. No error messages or freezes either, it's as if i never clicked play. I thought this might be a limitation with the t.v. or my network
(im doing this via wi-fi) but when i tried this using windows explorer instead of windows media player it worked just fine, and this was with all the music on my computer which is about 3000 songs. Therefore, i know this is a problem with windows media
player and not my t.v., network or computer. This is a problem because i don't want to play all my music, just my playlist. Short of making a separate folder with duplicate files in it for each and every playlist i want to play in this manner(which
is not only time consuming and tedious but takes up space on my hard drive) how do i remove this limitation or otherwise get around it? Thanks!
P.S. Out of curiosity, why does this limitation exist and what causes it?

when i tried this using windows explorer instead of windows media player it worked just fine, and this was with all the music on my computer which is about 3000 songs.
Hi,
According to your description,you said that you used windows explorer.Did you share 3000 songs with your TV?
If so,I think this method is different with "play to" feature.
Also,we haven't found any limitation with Windows media player.

"NOT RESPONDING" message whenever I start using my Windows Media Player

I don't know what it is that causes this - if it's something to do with having the lesser expensive Hewlett-Packard computers, but this is the 2nd HP laptop I've had and the one thing I've had in common w/both of them is that, one, I got them for under $500 - about $445 or so, w/tax...anyway, I suppose that the more expensive HPs are better and wouldn't have petty problems like this - but anyway, - the last one I had & this one I currently have - the last one was a Windows 7 and this one is Windows 8, so the O/S has nothing to do w/my problem. Anyway, it's like this: every time I turn on the PC, then get it all revved up & ready to go, etc. when I turn on my Windows Media Player (WMP) the thing comes up on screen and it sometimes takes a few seconds, since I have about 740 CDs worth of music on here, but anyway, once the CDs show up on the WMP album page (where they're put up in alpha. order of LP name, as opposed to artist names, etc) - and so, when I go from the "A"s downward, just paging through it, looking for something to listen to, for instance, it ALWAYS, inevitably, without fail, gets stuck, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but usually by the time I get to the Cs or Ds, the thing gets stuck and freezes up on me and I can't do anything w/it. Then, when I try to click the mouse a couple times or whatever, I get a message at the top of the WMP box - on the top of the box it reads "Windows Media Player", like usual, but when it freezes up like this and it stays stuck for anywhere from 10 seconds up to a minute sometimes, the message that pops up right next to the "WMP" label on the blue border reads "NOT RESPONDING". 99% of the time, it just takes a little patience and sometimes just clicking the mouse buttons a few times and/or hitting a few keys on the keyboard (not hard, just randomly pressing down on some) - then it will finally come back & unfreeze and I'm usually able to continue browsing through my catalog, but there has been other times when it seems to be in worse shape - it'll read "NOT RESPONDING" for a while and no matter how much I click the left or right mouse buttons, tap the mouse on the pad, or whatever, it might come unstuck for a few seconds, then, I think I'm OK again, but sometimes, as soon as it looks unstuck, I can't get it to move at all and right away the "NOT RESPONDING" message comes right back up (and the page fades a little too) - in fact, lately, just before I did a refresh thing on my PC to try & get things to work better, it was giving me big trouble, it would just sit there, stuck, frozen up and nothing I did would unfreeze it. I'd be frantically trying to unstick it, but no matter what I did, it'd still be frozen and when it does that, I can't get it to do anything. Recently, when it would do this, sometimes, if I had not tried to get too far down in the alphabet, I can get a certain album open and get it to start playing, but the "NOT RESPONDING" message will pop up now and again, but the music will play all right, uninterrupted.
Anyway, this is very annoying. It's been happening for so long now, that I basically take it for granted that it's going to freeze up on me when I 1st bring it up. I have no idea what's causing this to happen; like I said, this happened when I had a previous HP laptop that was working with Windows 7.
Kind of a long-winded way of putting this issue to anyone, but I just wanted to be clear and specific.
Is there ANYONE out there who owns a cheapo HP? (not a Compaq, the computer co. HP bought for that purpose, to make their cheap computers and differentiate them from the HPs) - But I wonder, it's been so long since I've even checked -does Compaq even exist anymore as a separate entity from parent co. HP? If not, then that explains why there's a difference between HP laptops that are $400 or so (at Best Buy) and the more slick, expensive HP laptops that have all the bells & whistles and usually run over $1000. Of course, I'm not about to shell out twice as much money to buy an HP just to see if the more expensive ones don't behave the way their cheap models do. I also had a Toshiba I bought about 3-4 years ago and I had even more problems with that - one instance was when the CD drive went out on me and I had to ship it in to HP (still under warranty, thank heavens) and they put a new drive in and shipped it back to me. It also crashed one time, and got infected with a virus or two or three, which meant I had to re-set the computer back to the original factory settings and, not having an external hard-drive with which to back up all my music, pix, documents, etc (my music is the most important stuff on my computer to me), which meant that I had to go through this long hassle of replacing all the music I'd lost. I have a lot of my own hard copies of CDs, but there were so many more CDs that I didn't have copies of, so I had to visit the library over & over, checking out as many as 25-30 CDs at a time on a lucky day, when the library had a lot of the CDs I needed to replace in my WMP. I don't want this to happen again, so I am going to get an external hardrive but I still don't know for sure if that would work. At least, by resetting the PC to factory settings I was able to get rid of the virus(es) that were screwing my computer up badly
So - has anyone out there had any similar problems? If so, I would appreciate any help or suggestions you may have as to how to deal with this sort of thing.
Thanks a lot. Hope to hear from one of you out there in the future.
Have a nice 4th...

Hello kmanthie,
I just sent you a private message. If you are not sure how to check your forum messages, this post has instructions.
I worked on behalf of HP.

When I put the audio CDs I burned through Windows Media Player into my drive, it says disk is blank.

I am using a Presario CQ61. I have burned audio CDs with Windows Media Player on my computer. Upon completion, when I try to playback the CD in my disk drive for the computer, it asks what I would like to do with the blank disk. However, this same CD plays just fine in my stereo, as well as on my roommates Presario CQ61 disk drive. We have the exact same computer except mine has a webcam and hers doesn't. I don't understand why these disks will play everywhere except on the computer that was used to create the disk! I am so frustrated! I have updated my drivers. I have also disabled and re-enabled the Windows Media Player. I even went as far as restoring my computer to factory settings. What else can I do to fix this problem??

Which brand of discs u used??\
tried any other brand??

New Insignia NS-L55X-10A sound not in sync with surround sound

My new Insingina NS L55X 10A was delivered this morning, replacing a 7 year old 52" Hitachi. Of course they just swapped the TV's, plugged it up and attached the cable coax and made sure it would turn on. I didn't notice until they left, but the sound is out of sync with my surround system. I didn't have this problem with the Hitachi. I spent several hours, replacing all the cables with HDMI, and everything is still the same. Is this a common problem and is there an easy fix? What am I overlooking? Thanks for any replies.

I misread your original post I guess. I thought you were talking about the lipsync being off from the sound when watching tv or a movie.
Yes it is possible for there to be a slight delay when using a receiver and the internal speakers of the tv. Normally its not too noticable but it can happen. Most people don't watch tv with both sets of speakers on, you either listen to the tv speakers or the receiver not both. I have owned several home theatre systems and sometimes there is a delay from one system to other. Normally not very much though.
Out of curiosity can I ask you why you would watch tv with both on? The correct thing to do would be turn your tv all the way down when using an amplified system or better yet disable the internal speakers of the tv if your using a surround sound system.
This may be exagerated to some extent with the new systems utilizing HDMI connections and advanced processing features. One device is processing the signal at a different rate than the other one so you could in fact get some sort of reverb effect by using both. The delay is going to be in miliseconds though. Or it is possible that the surround sound receiver is utilizing some sort of built in delay to some of the speakers. Where as the tv would not employ any delay at all. It could also have something to do with how the devices are connected or switched. One set up could possibly have less delay than the other.

Sound not in sync with video on Apple TV

On some movies synced from iTunes to Apple TV, the sound is out of sync with the video. I sync from a Powerbook G4 with an attached FW 800 external drive storing the movies. Any ideas on what amy be causing this?

I downloaded from iTunes. Yes, I have seen that same issue with other movies I have converted with a 3rd party app. I did not expect to see it with iTunes downloads. Other movies from iTunes convert fine on ATV.

Sound not in sync with video

I am having a new problem when i watch a movie or tv show in itunes. the sound will suddenly skip a few times and then not match the video. I have to pause wait a second to play again, then 15 seconds later it happens again. i have the newest version of itunes installed. i'm not sure if it's my computer or itunes doing this. my music also skips like the sound in the videos, but it's not as much of an issue, just very annoying. this started a few days ago.

I have a similar problem where I view an Mp4 in VLC and the sound sync is fine but view it in Itunes or on my Apple TV and there are voice sync issues.
Any help out there?

Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

Hi All,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
Thank you!

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the reply.
The link you put up, takes me to the page, but
"The requested URL /surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma was not found on this server."
That was WaterFox.
The webpage cannot be found
This in Internet Explorer 11.0
The Files in question were Recorded by Beyond TV to my Local Hard Drive.
When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

Help with windows media player

Tried to sync my i pod to my windows media player...
it did
now my i pod will not reconise the info on it!!
now my pod is giving me a file with an ! mark and telling me to restore via the updater,\
i have tried that but the updater is telling me "firmware update failure disk write error" does ne 1 know *** is going on???

here's a good place to start with that message:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
... but if you're connecting to a Toshiba laptop, first see:
iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop

HMC150 Footage ok in PProCS4, but grey when viewing via Win Media Player

I just purchased an HMC150 and really like it and I am recording in 1080P 24 and pulling it into a 1080P/24 timeline. I can edit and view the media no problem in Premiere with full color, but if I play the original raw AVCHD original files through Windows Media Player the video is Grey and if I export them from PPro to MPeg2 they are also grey...anybody have any ideas why this would be or how to correct it?

Good question, sorry I should have included all of that information.
I am running on an HPZ800 dual quad core with 36GB of RAM using PPRo CS4 (latest version) on Windows 64 bit. I am not exactly sure which codec is going to be used in this case because I believe that there are 3 possible ones that could be used. It appears that PPro is using it's own AVCHD codec which is probably why it works fine. Windows 7 natively recognizes AVCHD, but I have two utilities installed on my system to download content from my cameras that may have also installed Codec's. The first is one from Canon that comes with their camera's (in this case the HV30, that downloads AVCHD also), and the 2nd is the AVCCam application that comes with the Panasonic HMC150 to download content from that camera. The AVCHD files from my Canon play just fine through Windows Media Player or Premiere Pro, but the HMC150 files only play in full color in Premiere Pro, not through Windows Media Player. I agree it might be codec related, but not exactly sure the best way to track down the problem. Thanks in advance for the help.
