Apple TV speeds up video playback on files ripped from DVDs - it looks like it's being fastforwarded slightly.

I just set up my Apple TV 2, only to find playback issues from the start.
Whenever I try to play videos from iTunes, the playback is noticeably faster than it should be. It's almost as if the video is slightly sped up, and the audio is in sync with this. The aspect ratio is also very different on some of these videos (and this doesn't correct on my TV as it does on my laptop screen) - by which I mean that the picture appears stretched on some, but not others. These are files I have ripped from my DVD collection.
What can I do about this?

Ok, now I understand.
I haven't directly used those digital copies, per your original post it sounds is as it plays fine in iTunes but just not on apple tv
Here is the compatibility list for ATV2, in iTunes right click and get info for one of the files to see if it falls within
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • Context menu "Page Speed" in video playback

    In clarification to answer given to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961774#answer-463032 (closed thread): The context menu "Page Speed" in video playback applies to a html5 video playback streams. Older flashplayer video does not support this feature. This is not related to tab mix plus addon.
    (this is comment rather than question)

    See answer above
    Check http://www.youtube.com/html5 that it is enabled if applicable. Html5 player test videos can be found at http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html if you are not sure where to find a video that will show the "play speed" context menu. If you believe that a html5 video stream is available for the web page but are still seeing the flashplayer video you need to temporarily disable flash support before loading the web page. For that, you may like to try the quickjava addon , which gives you a button to turn flash on/off while browser is running. If you don't see any video after disabling flash then that page does not support an alternate html5 player stream.

  • Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

    Dear all,
    Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
    Expecting more advise on this.
    Configurations: Windows XP
    Safari: 5.1.7
    Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
    Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
    Thanks in advance,
    Thirilog

    Hi
    appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
    Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
    or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
    Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
    is the place
    & if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

  • PE 3.0 -- Video playback jitters -- content pulled from VOB files

    Thanks in advance for any advice!   I pulled 10 minutes of video from a DVD into Elements 3.0, edited it on the timeline and exported it to a DVD.  The original content is a dub of a finished TV show burned by a production company.... it's the only copy we can get.  My edit excerpts the part of the show that's about a non-profit I help out.
    My final output has "jitters" in shots that have motion.  The faster the motion -- like zooms or pans -- the more noticible the jitter.  You can almost ignore it when playing back on a computer, but on a TV it's really obvious.
    The only changes I made to the clips after import were:
              Interpret Footage => conform to D1/DV NTSC widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
              (so that footage matched the original 16:9 format.)
    Where do I start troubleshooting?  The initial project setttings?  Or is this an export problem?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mark
    PS: On the original content, it says on screen before the show rolls that the master is "720P 59.94 16:9" -- but I don't know is if that's just the master or also the DVD

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. (Sorry I didn't understand the points system; thought I could tag you all as helpful.)    Elements 3.0 doesn't have that DVD or Hard Drive project setting, but it looks like this is where the trouble lies.
    Ridiculous thing is, I have Premiere Pro 5.03... but it will not ingest the VOB files.  Each file truncates to 30 seconds, even if the file is already pulled off the DVD and in a folder.   I could not find a solution online to that problem, so I tried Elements which did it easily, except for this jitter.
    AVAILABLE PROJECT PRESET SETTINGS:
    In PE 3.0, I can change the default project settings by creating a new default preset.  In the VIDEO section, If I start with DV - NTSC Widescreen (versus Adobe HDV or DV-Pal) I can create a new preset but it apeears my only changable video options are safe areas and display format.  The "Fields" drop down is grayed-out, defaulted to "Lower Field First" and can't be changed.  (Nothing else I change seems to make it available to change.)
    DISPLAY FORMAT dropdown:
        >30 fps drop-frame timecode
        >30 fps NON-drop-frame timecode
        > frames
    Are these settings of any use for this problem?
    In the GENERAL section, I can open a dialog called PLAYBACK SETTINGS.   Choices there are broken into "Realtime Playback" and "Export."   In Realtime Playback, I can check or uncheck "Desktop Video."   The default is checked, which let's me select an "External Device" or a setting for aspect Ratio Conversion."   External Device Choices are:
         None
         DV 29.97i (720x480)
         DV 25i (720x576)
         DV 23.976p (720x480)
    Those same external device choices are available under EXPORT.
    Maybe Elements 3.0 just can't solve this problem...  Any thoughts?

  • Apple TV 2 choppy video playback when mirroring from Macbook Pro (Yosemite) and Macbook Air (Yosemite) but not iOS devices

    Video playback is choppy (cuts out every 30-45 seconds) when air playing from both my MacBook Air 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Yosemite and my husbands new MacBook Pro, but runs perfectly when mirroring from any of our iOS devices (iPhone 6+, iPad mini 3, etc.) We have Apple TV 2. This problem just started a few weeks ago, was working fine around Christmas. The problem seems to have coincidentally started right after our son tried plugging in and setting up his Chromecast on our tv. I disconnected the Chromecast, but we still have the problem. All of our software if up to date and I've tried disconnecting blue tooth, we do not have a microwave and our wifi network has a very strong signal. We have an Airport Extreme base station. Is there a solution to our problem?

    Hi leahmturner,
    I see that you are experiencing an issue with choppiness while AirPlay Mirroring from your computers to your Apple TV. I have an article that contains some helpful troubleshooting steps for you regarding this issue:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343
    Optimizing image quality
    Resolution matching modes
    You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.
    Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
    AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
    Match Desktop Size To: This Mac
    AirPlay Mirroring scales the contents of the desktop to fit on the Apple TV, leaving the resolution of your Mac's display unchanged. Use this setting for the sharpest image on your Mac's display. Depending on your Mac model, the resulting image may not fill the HDTV screen.
    Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
    If you don't see mirroring options
    If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
    If the menu bar or Dock is cropped
    Some HDTVs have bezels that cover a small percentage of the screen. This can result in a slight cropping of a full-resolution HDTV image. Depending on the HDTV model, AirPlay Mirroring may automatically adjust the picture size to prevent cropping.  If you are using OS X Mountain Lion or later, and you see cropping of the menu bar or Dock when using AirPlay Mirroring, toggle the Overscan correction option in Displays preferences.
    Minimize video post-processing
    HDTVs often apply picture quality enhancements intended to improve the look of film and video sources. In some cases, these enhancements can lead to over-sharpening artifacts when displaying your Mac desktop. Some HDTV models have built-in settings to change or disable the enhancements for use with a computer (computer, presentation, or game modes). Otherwise, the controls for sharpness, detail enhancement and noise reduction can be used to optimize the appearance of the Mac desktop. Consult your HDTV’s manual for guidance on the appropriate settings for use with a computer.
    Firewall security settings
    If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
    Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
    Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
    Click Firewall Options.
    Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
    Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • Changing the speed of video playback

    Hi Gang,
    Just wondering if there is a way to change the speed of video & audio on itunes?
    I know this can be done on iPod with the audio book function, just wondering if there's one for videos?
    Cheers
    Yong-Long

    Do you mean by a strobe effect that the brightness of the footage is changing randomly?
    Or are you saying that the motion of your footage is not smooth and moves with a sort of rhythm that feels jumpy?
    These are 2 different possiblities.
    The odds are you are experiencing field reversal caused by changing the frame rate of your footage and thereby switching the field order in the clips. I've posted many explainations of what field reversal is in past topics so search for the term.
    You could minimize the effect by using the flicker filter in the footage that is being changed. You could also send the footage to Motion and enable Optical Flow in the Time Mapping properties of the clip. But that's a fairly advanced technique. Try the Flicker Filer first.
    Without more info, I can't help you further.

  • Double speed of video playback

    could you increase the speed of the video playback or a
    simulation ! I know there is a component you can buy that gives the
    user a progress bar type thing (like volume) to which they can
    increase and even rewind at a speed upto x4 and anything inbetween.
    I just wondered if that kind of thing could be incorporated into a
    captivate swf or if anyone actually had a widget for it

    I found this component :
    http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/speedcontroller/
    but will it work with captivate swfs with playbars ! or may i
    cause conflict and so on - and i have no idea how i would
    incorporate that into the swf, like how to position it and so
    on.

  • Increase speed of video playback

    I asked this question a while ago but did not get any
    response - does anyone know how to do this within the swf itself -
    i.e. the button would be inside the captivate movie (as in x2 and
    x3 speeds)

    I found this component :
    http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/speedcontroller/
    but will it work with captivate swfs with playbars ! or may i

  • Video Playback Pauses when streaming from iTunes to itunes

    Hi,
    I have a 2011 iMac running OS X Mavericks Server and I use this as my main iTunes library computer.  I also have a 2013 (latest model) MacBook Air running Mavericks.  My WiFi network comprises of 2x Airport Express's, both the latest models and configured for both 2.4ghz & 5ghz frequencies.
    Using Home Sharing, I like to stream video from my iMac's iTunes library to my MacBook Air.  The problem is that playback pauses every few minutes.  The only way to resume playback is to close the video window and open the video again.  This problem occurs regardless of video quality (SD, 720 or 1080) and on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi settings...  On the odd occasion this problem doesn't happen at all.
    I experienced this problem before upgrading to mavericks so I don't think its mavericks related.  And I don't experience this playback issue when streaming to ipad mini, iphone, or apple tv... It only happens when streaming from imac to macbook air...
    Please help if you have a solution.

    Try:
    ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:8554/test.sdp -acodec copy -vcodec copy -re -f flv "rtmp://168.187.121.71/livepkgr/mystream&adbe-live-event=liveevent"
    I don't strream ffpmeg from my source, but I stream h264 from my source, and this works when transcoding.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there an app for video playback on external screen from ipad mini which avoids mirroring?

    I want to play fullscreen video from ipad mini to external screens with a clean look and without without showing playback controls etc. I need to be able to play, pause, change the order of video tracks without affecting the external display as it's for playback of video backing tracks for a music show.
    Does anybody know of any apps which do this? I'm looking at Portfolio for iPad at the moment which looks promising.

    No.

  • Is it possible to transfer file wirelessly from pc to ipad(like you do with usb through itune)? not syncing and backup

    So basically i want the exact same thing/function of using a usb to transfer file from pc to ipad through itunes but wirelessly? for example i am using kindle and playerxtreme(video app) on ipad air and i have some file i want to add. normally i would connect the ipad and pc through usb and transfer file with itunes but is there anyway where i can use wifi to transfer file with itunes instead of having to use the usb cable?

    It is possible if your device runs iOS 5 or newer version and you're using iTunes 10.5 or newer. It's called WiFi sync https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203075
    I find it useless because in order to sync, your device must be charging (plugged in). I figure if I have to charge the device (plugged in to the charger) to sync wirelessly, I may as well plug it in to the computer. Sync speed is a lot faster over USB connection anyway.

  • Importing .mov files converted from DVD

    Hi
    I have video which was originally shot in SD format using a Sony HDR - XR200 camera. (I need to shoot in SD format in order to be able to play back resulting DVDs in standard players) The SD footage from the camera is burned directly to DVD using a Sony DV Direct DVD recorder. I then use DVDxDV to convert clips from the DVD into .mov files. Having imported these .mov files into FCE 3.5 I get a message saying they are not optimized for FCE and should be recaptured. When I drag them onto the timeline they do show in the viewer at 29% size but I cannot see any picture on my external monitor.
    Do I need FCE 4 even though I am not recording the original footage in AVCHD ? Do I need to use an Apple HD codec in the DVD to .mov conversion process?
    Any advice appreciated - many thanks

    Hi Tom
    Converted clips are;
    Vid rate 25fps
    Frame size 720 x 576
    Compressor DV PAL
    Data rate 3.6 MB/sec
    Pixel aspect PAL-CCIR 601
    Forgive my ignorance but where do I get the item properties for the sequence I am editing into?

  • Files moved from VirtualPC for Mac show up as being "written" in the future

    hi kids
    i have a windows app i use in VPC 7.0 on my ibook with OSX 10.5. i plug in my 1GB usb drive, unmount it from the Mac and mount it in VPC. i backup some .mdb (microsoft database) files from the Windows app to the usb drive, and when i mouse over one of the files, it says *Date Modified: 1/22/09 9:33 PM*. Right now it's only *3:33 PM on 1/22/09*. what's going on? is it going to affect the database info in any way? is there some way to fix this?

    Hi Daniel,
    might be the obvious, but is the Time inside your VPC Windows also off by these six hours ?
    Maybe a simple setting of the 'Windows Time' to the correct time is needed.
    Nonetheless I don't think that the different/future time will be affecting your databases in any way.
    Regards

  • I am getting annoying popups from a site in Spain claiming Firefox recommends I download an updated video player from them. Looks like SPYWARE! MAKE IT STOP!

    It explains things on my end. I hope you guys are not in on this. It's intrusive and rather pushy at that. I don't feel I should have to download another video player. The name of the company is updatevideos<i></i>.com. I went there and it took me to api<i></i>.adrenalads<i></i>.com and then to mojopages<i></i>.com!!! If some lumphead is trying to get over on me , I ain,t buyin'!!!
    THANKS, Andy

    Hi rimshot69, did you check for an extension in Firefox? To see whether one of those might be involved, you could try one of the following:
    (1) Manually Disable ALL nonessential and/or unrecognized extensions on the following screen. If in doubt, disable:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Then restart Firefox using the handy links provided for that purpose and see whether the messages stop.
    (2) Test in Firefox's Safe Mode
    That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Any difference?
    You also may want to run some supplemental scans. These three tools are highly regarded (and free):
    * Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    * SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/

  • Convert .m4a files (ripped from iTun

    I recently got a Zen Touch for christmas and I have a whole lot of music that I imported using iTunes over the past year (somewhere around 900 files). I tried to put them on my new mp3 player and when I tried converting them I got a message saying "Please set destination formats for the tracks." The destination format I had set for the files was wave and I went back and tried other destination formats but I kept getting the same message.
    My thought is that I need to either re-rip all of my files (and I don't have half the CDs anymore) or there's a way to convert the m4a's to something usable... any suggestions?

    If they are not encrypted m4a tracks then you should be able to convert them to mp3. I use Xilisoft Audio Converter. There's a trial version available that should be fine for what you want. Search on the Web for it.
