Verizon Flex on PC choppy video

Hi,
When I rent movies via flex view and watch on my computer the video play back is very choppy and the picture quality is poor making it very unpleasant to watch. For example tonight watching Jack Reacher in SD. The happens on both my HTPC which has a wired ethernet connection to the Verizon actiontek router ( MI424WR) and my laptop which uses Wifi. Details:
HTPC
OS: Windows 7 64bit
CPU: AMD A8-3850
RAM: 4GB
GPU: AMD Radeon 6670 1GB
Tried playing video through IE9, IE10, Firefox 16, and Verizon Media Manager 9.6.12. Video is choppy in all of them
Laptop
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
CPU: Core i7-2630QM
RAM: 8 GB
GPU: AMD Radeon 6770M
Tried playing video in IE10, it was choppy too.
Interesting flex view video plays back smoothly on my Galaxy S3 connected to wifi and through the setup box. Also streaming HD content from youtube works great on both the computers.
Any suggestions on how to fix the choppiness on the PCs?

Any thoughts anyone?
Is there somewhere else I should be asking this question?

  • Slow FPS, graphics and choppy video when connected to a Mini-DVI cable to external monitor on Macbook Mid2007 4GB RAM

    Hi,
    I have a Mid-2007 Macbook white. I have upgraded its memory to 4GB. Snow Leopard was working great, and I said to myself maybe it's time to upgrade to Lion.
    After the upgrade all was well. However, a big problem occurs when I plug in to the Mini-DVI display port with the HDMI adapter, to connect to my Sony LCD HDTV. The whole graphics and video slow down, everything is choppy. Quicktime and VLC video playback is strobe and choppy looks like very low Frame Rate. Cannot watch anything, not HD nor low resolutions. The entire computer is slow when the cable is connected.
    Things I tried:
    *VGA adapter seems to work fine - it's the digital display output that probably causes that.
    *Running it through a new user.
    This never happened on Snow Leopard. i'm considering to go back. However, I am wondering if there is a way to fix this minor problem.

    Update:
    We solved the problem. Weird solution but now it seems to work. I plugged a VGA adpater and played with the screen rsolutions to try and watch a movie well on my LCD screen. I changed the screen resolutions but I couldn't revert back to the default settings. Pressing "Detect Displays" didn't do anything.
    Here is the interesting part: When I placed back the DVI-HDMI adapter, suddenly everything worked fine!!! There was no choppy videos, no low fps, works prefect.
    Something weird is going on here, but I'm happy I managed to get the DVI to HDMI to work because I was about to removie Lion and bring back Snow Leopard.

  • Video Lagging/Choppy videos on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    I am having a problem while watching videos online: video lagging/choppy videos. Sometimes the video is stuck in a certain frame although I still have the sound on the background; sometimes the video slows down completely (frame+sound). It started around one month ago, and exists in several different websites, I couldn`t solve it by myself. I am not very good with computers. I tried to uninstall/reinstall flash player, as well as disable hardware acceleration, and the problem is still there. Also somedays the videos are working fine, and somedays they are all bad independent of websites. I tried to use different browsers (chrome/firefox/safari), but the problem persists.
    I am using a Macbook Pro and bought it in the beginning of January this year (right now it is running OS X 10.7.4) with flash player version 11.2.202.235.
    I would very much appreciate if you can help me.
    Thanks.

    mellskucukoglu, uninstall all adobe products then install Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Air, Adobe Shockwave Player. Make sure to select the operating system correctly behind the link. Turn off your antivirus till you finish installation as suggested below the webpage. If it still doesn't work check for OS X 10.7.4 updates.
    If it still doesn't work then go for Adobe Live chat in this link http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html . Sometimes they are busy. If they can't help. Think about any changes that you made before this issue like installaling any new apps. Uninstall them. If it still doesn't work then install Adobe Flash Professional CS 6. After installing check for adobe updates and update them all. It should work at this point.  If not ,watch this

  • Choppy Video on MEGA 180

    Hi all,
    I'm suffering from choppy video playback on my MEGA 180. By choopy I mean every ten seconds or so it will freeze up for a split second, the audio stays in sync, but you can slightly tell that the video stops, or skips.
    This happens when watching .avi, DivX or even commercial DVD's. It also happens on my screen saver.
    Since I was using the onboard video I thought I'd try using a video card but the same thing.
    What I can't figure out is what the onboard video and a seperate video card have in common, since it's happening to both.
    My onboard video has the latest drivers, and the PC as a whole is up to date.
    Any suggestions are greatly needed.
    Thanks.

    can you give more information on the hardware you have installed in your Mega 180?
    and can you give more background information; ie how long have you had this system, has it ever worked correctly, did the problem start after you installed any particular software, etc etc...

  • Choppy video playback with airplay from Macbook Pro

    I experience very choppy video using airplay towards my Airplay unit (3rd gen).
    I am using a Macbook Pro (15" retina, late 2013 version) with these specifications:
    - Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz.
    - 16 GB ram.
    - 768 GB flash/SSD.
    ...and so on. I have the Mavericks OS installed (10.9.1).
    When I duplicate or extend the screen of the computer to my Apple TV it is chopping EXTREMELY much. I am not talking a little bit - but it is not even watchable. I thought that it could be the router itself as the connection is (probably, correct me if I am wrong anyone) is directed from the computer - to the router - and then to the Apple TV, which could make the router like a filter in the process. And if something would prevent the signal from reaching the Apple TV with "full speed" it could prevent the actuall image.
    However, when I am using the iPhone 4S and streaming video (both video found in my phone as well as streamed TV from apps such as Magine.com) the image flows completely flawless. There are not even a touch of lagging. It flows perfect, just as watching a movie directly on the TV.
    The networking hardware in the phone is slower than in the Macbook Pro retina (late 2013) - both for sending and recieving data. But still... my iPhone works better than the Macbook Pro for the Apple TV. Even though that the processing, memory, graphic and networking power is probably a thousand times faster in the computer... it still performs really bad.
    I have followed some discussion threads here (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22051725#22051725 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5734226?tstart=0 just as a couple of examples). I have accessed my router (Netgear Gigabit EVG 2000) and increased the Wireless mode to "up to 270 Mbps. I have also followed the previously linked threads and disabled the WMM (in the QoS-section). I felt that this made a little bit of a difference...
    ...when I am mirroring the screen and scale down the resolution to match the AirPlay screen (full-HD, 1920 x 1080) it works okay, but still chops quite a bit almost all the time. But if I extend the screen and want to watch TV at the same time as I am doing something else on the computer - then it chops so that it is not even possible to watch.
    This have to be something either with the Mavericks OS or with my network settings - can anyone help me...? It would mean A LOT!

    Curious why you think it would be my network when the same network is being used by the iPad 3rd Gen and iPhone 5 and they both stream without issue. As far as the other items you mentioned, all devices are up-to-date with the latest firmware/software and the latest MacBooks do not have ethernet ports. Speedtests that I have conducted also indicate that bandwidth is not the issue as the results show that the speeds received from the router are quite impressive.

  • Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!

    I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall.  Is there a way to remedy this?  Please help!

    I think I figured out the issue.  Thanks for all your advice.  I'll repost if I have any other problems.

    Drew,
    How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
    Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?

  • I get choppy video on netflix streaming online

    how can i fix choppy video on netflix streaming online

    What version Mini do you have?  How much RAM?
    What is your internet connection and speed?
    Not knowing that, first I would say insure that you have
    the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed.  Next,
    do you have any other apps running at the same time?
    Which browser are you using?  Also, is this all the time
    or occasionallly?
    I have a 2010 Mini (Mountain Lion installed) that I use as an
    HTPC.  Most of the time, I have no real issues with the video
    from Netflix.  There are occasions when video is pretty choopy. 
    However, I can view the same program at a later date and it plays
    fine.  Sometimes the problem can be at the Netflix end or with the
    connection.

  • Adobe Captivate Outputting/Rendering Slow, Sluggish, and Choppy Video when ScreenCasting

    When I screencast my desktop and then output/render the video that Adobe Captivate recorded, the video is always so choppy, sluggish, and slow.
    I set the frames per second to 80 and interval to 1, 5, and 10, and still choppy video.
    My system specfications are as follows:
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
    CPU: Intel Core i7 @ 3.40 GHz | Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
    RAM: 16.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6600 Series
    Is there something that I am doing wrong during/after I record?
    Any help would be awesome!
    Thank you!

    Hey Anjaneai,
    I mean slow as in my Cursor movements are not as smooth as I expected with this software.
    I have chosen the Video Demo recording mode.
    I did check the option to show "Actions in Real Time" from Recording and it only applies to Audio. I am speaking of video. I have tried comparing. I tried comparing with Software Demo, but it's impossible to compare, seeing as Adobe Captivate generates the mouse for you.
    I thought that the higher the Frame Rates the smoother the experience.
    Thank you!

  • Choppy Video TV GO Android

    Hello. Apologies if this has been asked before but I'd like to know if its a unique problem pertaining to just me.  Phone: HTC One M7 GSM Google Play EditionOS: Android Lollipop 5.1 Issue: Choppy Video. I use Xfinity TV Go to watch shows with my Chromecast through the Screen Mirroring option. I noticed that the video surprisingly has no lag (meaning the lips and sound sync great) but the video does not play at a constant 30fps. At first I thought it was the mirroring that was causing the issue. But then I realized it was playing the same way when watching video my phone as well.  Now my phone is more than powerful to play the video. My internet speed was much much more than adequate to play the video. So the problem lies with the app or some sort of incompatibility with my phone and os combo specifically. Its weird but it seems like some sort of buffering issue? Its not the normal stuttering I've seen before due to internet speed or phone hardware issues. Quality is just fine.  I can give a bug report if need be. Please just ask. Thanks! 

    Just switched the video quality to Medium and it seems to have made the video run much smoother. Hope this helps. BTW the post above was not a solution. It didn't completely fix the problem for one and for two it shouldn't be choppy at high quality anyways. Thanks.

  • Export 790x592 .mov to 640x480 in QT 7.2 = choppy video playback

    The specs to deliver a scene I scored are different than the original file. Original was H264 Codec 790x592 audio IMA 4:1. Needs to be delivered H264 Codec 640x480 with audio 48KHz 16bit.
    I exported the file in QT pro 7.2 with the correct size and options. The sound is fine, but the video is not in sync - it jumps and stalls. Tried changing the options; same results so far.
    Here is what I did.
    I selected Movie to QT Movie and clicked on Options:
    Under Video, I selected:
    Compression - H.264
    Dimensions - 640x480
    Quality - High
    Frame Rate - Current
    Key Frames - Every - 24 Frames
    Frame Reordering - yes
    Scale - letterbox
    Data Rate - Automatic
    For Sound, I selected:
    (Note: The only option I found giving me 48KHz 16 bit was Linear PCM. AAC is the standard, and I can select 48KHz, but there is no option for 16 bit.)
    Linear PCM
    Sample Rate - 48KHz
    Channels - Stereo LR
    Render
    Quality - Best
    Sample Size 16 bits

    I fixed the choppy video.
    Export File>Movie to QT Movie>Options>Video:
    Frame Rate - Current
    Key Frames - Automatic
    Frame Reordering - Yes
    Compressor Quality - Best
    Encoding - Best Quality
    Date Rate - Automatic
    Options>Video:
    Same as before
    No more choppy video or sound.

  • Choppy video playback/loosing frames.

    I've had my iMac G5 for about a year and a half but for the 5-6 months i've noticed that Quicktime movies (My quicktime movies that i've made myself and are stored on my hd) can't be played back without them loosing frames or being "choppy" - it eventually catches up - but I may have lost an entire sentence from the person in the video - this happens with any videos I watch - not just quicktime - stuff on iTunes, recordings from EyeTV do this also - not as much - but these are usually Mpeg-2 and are recording in the best quality option possible.
    although if i'm watching TV from EyeTV, I have no problem - or if i'm importing video into iMovie - no problems - it's playback that does this.
    it's almost as if i'm watching a streaming clip on the internet - with a bad connection. but these videos are mine - saved to the computer.
    my iMac is a 2nd generation with the ambient light sensor, and I have 1 GB or Memory - I don't know what else you may need to know about my computer model - but if you think you can help, but need more info - just ask!
    thanks.

    Choppy video like you describe is almost always caused by too many demands on your hard drive. EyeTV works fine when watching live TV because Live TV is not written to or read from the hard drive.
    The most common cause of this would be that your hard drive is too full. For best performance, try to keep at least 15% of your hard drive space free. This gives the computer some room to breathe. If your drive was severely fragmented, it may take awhile before movies will play properly again.
    You may have too many programs open. This could cause the computer to use more virtual memory, which increases hard drive usage. In addition, running another disk-intensive program can cause movies to skip.
    You may have a performance problem with the drive. If you have multiple hard drives, try playing the movie from another drive.
    You may have a filesystem structure issue on a drive. In some cases, these issues can result in poor performance. Run Disk Utility to test the drive. Any number of other common system fixes (repair permissions etc.) may help with this as well.

  • Choppy video. Like i made it with a phone!!

    Ok, not that bad.
    But i'm importing video, and it appears awful choppy and jumpy. Last night i impoterd from one tape. Worked great. This moring i was importing, and the FW cable was pulled out of my camcorder dock. When i started again, iMovie was importing choppy video, but my camcorder shows it nice and smooth.
    Any advice?
    *nathan

    Do you know if the Apple 4-6 pin FW cables are any better than just a regular one i picked up?
    I have seen reports of cheap FW cables that didn't work, but that was years ago. Just make sure the cable is shielded and it should be OK.

  • Choppy Video/Audio with FMS 2

    Hello,
    My internet group and I have been trying to get the bugs
    worked out of our system so our Flash Media Server (version 2.0)
    will work correctly. The latest issue under our load test was
    choppy video and audio. The load test was to see if our network and
    hardware could handle 15 concurrent connections and of course
    something caused the test to fail. Our network and server engineers
    say their stuff all checked out only used 20% of network bandwidth
    at the most. The server barely hit 5% CPU usage. It has been
    suggested a few different times to incorporate a buffer. I don't
    really want to do this, because it seems to be a patch on a problem
    somewhere. Plus, I also read that buffers in streaming video are
    somewhat irrelevant because as soon as the user seeks forward or
    backward the buffer is dumped, which would put me right back in the
    boat with choppy video again until the server is able to establish
    another buffer while streaming the video.
    Here is some info on the video we used for test:
    - 400kb per second
    - On2 VP6 Codec
    - Frames per second (same as source) (video was ripped from
    dvd quality quicktime file.)
    - 96kbps audio
    - 720 x 480 video size (The reason we went so large on the
    video is because we wanted to test a “worse case
    scenario” if a video that size were ever requested we would
    know if it was possible.)
    - Running on Windows 2003 server and FMS v2.0
    Here are my questions:
    1. Shouldn't the FMS stream a video of this size to 15
    concurrent connections without experiencing any kind of lagging or
    choppy video?
    2. Should I incorporate a buffer into the video to smooth
    over the choppy places?
    Thank you for your help!
    Eric

    Good to know...I have to admit that it is a little difficult
    to find good tutorials on this kind of stuff. I've spent the past 3
    hours trying to find a tutorial on how to get the "dual buffer"
    technique with FLVPlayback since FLVPlayback seems to be the option
    that Adobe steers most people to use. Maybe because that's the
    easiest way to get video up and running for new comers (like myself
    to flash video) like the Spry stuff in Dreamweaver. I've never used
    the Spry stuff because I hear it's bulk, plus I already know how to
    create most of that stuff with only what I need. It sounds like Net
    Stream is the way to go, but will require more work to get the end
    result I want.
    Obviously, I don't know much about the whole streaming video
    stuff, but I guess I'll be considered an expert if I can ever get
    this FMS utilized properly and my Net Stream up and running. My
    understanding when we bought this server was that it was pretty
    much plug'n play and the FMS ensured smooth video playing with no
    problems. I didn't know I had to do all this...
    Thanks again fmslove!
