Audio and video playback from the internet.

Hi all, I am just learning on my computer so i am afraid you will have to bear with me !!! I have just visited the BBC News homepage and could not play any of the video clips or radio clips on offer, the error given was that real player was not installed, I then followed the instructions and appear to have sucessfully installed real player but still no joy on playback. What am i doing wrong ???

I experienced the same problem with audio (haven't tried video) and I don't have a complete answer to it, but if you download Real Player you can listen to the audio stream if you click on the link "Listen using stand-alone Real Player".
For a more complete solution, I'm waiting for the next version Firefox which promises to be compatible with Intel iMacs.

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

I used to be able to copy and paste images from the internet into keynote slides and pages. Now when I copy and paste all I get is an empty box. My iskysoft iTube studio has also stopped downloading videos. Is there an extension I need to enable?

Try dragging the image to the desktop, then drag the image to the slide you want it on

Audio and video playback stuttering...sometimes

I'm having issues with audio and video playback stuttering at times in several applications. It's the same kind of skipping or stuttering in each application, whether it's iTunes (version 10) or YouTube or Netflix (Safari). I can also hear it when I'm just adjusting the volume via the keyboard, the "clicks" stutter.
I'm not running anything other than iTunes and Safari at once, the iMac has 2 gbs of RAM, it's running Snow Leopard. It also will work sometimes for a while. I just can't figure out why it will work sometimes and not others. Any ideas about what the cause may be? Quicktime X have anything to do with it?

Quicktime wouldn't work either.
Until you max out your ram, you are pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place. In the meantime, make sure you have the latest versions of
Adobe Flash Player
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian
Movist
I'm noticing that in general it's running extremely slowly now, even with only the browser running.

Does Premier Elements allow me to record video streaming from the internet?

Does Premier Elements allow me to record video streaming from the internet? If so which version and how?

kc42k
Although Premiere Elements is not going to record streaming video from the Internet but there are other programs that can, you should consider the terms of service for the web site that is the source for the streaming video.
Online, there are very comprehensive articles on numerous programs that will do the recording.
But, even those articles point out that many of the Internet web sites that you target for their videos have terms of service that would legally prohibit the recording of streaming video from the named web sites, one example, YouTube, if no download button and depending on the terms of service.
Please consider. Any questions about the above, I can point you to the appropriate documentation on the matter.
Thank you.

I reinstalled Lion and now I cannot drag and drop photos from the internet to my desktop

My Macbookpro was giving me a startup disk full message so I emptied out my photo library and itunes library to an external drive. By then I think the damage was done because I was still encountering the spinning color wheel all the time. On the advice of he Genius bar I reinstalled Lion. It worked well except for this one glitch. I can no longer drag and drop photos from the internet. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

That sounds like a browser issue so what browser and what web sites?

How can I combine the audio and video files from youtube downloads when they don't automatically combine?

I'm using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. Sometimes the audio and video files combine automatically, sometimes they don't - remaining as separate " DASH - .m4a and DASH - .mp4 ". It used to be that when this would happen I could open up a "ffmpeg" window which would allow me to "manually" convert them to a combined .mp4 file. It was a "drag and drop" type of interface. For some reason I can no longer access that ffmpeg combining function. I tried clicking on ffmpeg.exe. I tried re-downloading ffmpeg several times, both from the Downloader options tab and from the ffmpeg website.
Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a question for the developer of the video download add-ons that you have installed.

Controlling Speed of audio and video playback ?

Hi!
I would like to know if there is (or will be) a way with
upcoming Flash CS4 or even with Adobe Flash Player 10 capabilities
(or even with Adobe Pixel Bender) to control the speed of an audio
or video playback.
For example being able to play some sound slower or faster
and even adjusting audio pitch (and other audio filtering).
It's been a while that I've been looking for this (back to
Flash Player 6 when Flash was part of Macromedia) and with all
progress achieved since then I hope there is some accelerate and
decelerate feature now.
Please let me know about it.

How do I make a dvd in iDVD out of the audio and video files from Compressor 4?

I created two video files in fcpx and compressed them using the dvd source in compressor 4 which ended me up with a set of a separate video and separate audio file for each video. I want to take these files into iDVD and create one movie file with these two videos. How do I reconnect the separated video and audio files in iDVD? Thanks!

tell me what software they used to achieve this.
iDVD.
Apple sells iDVD on disk as part of iLife 11.
Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
IDVD remains a popular application in the Apple community. For a variety of obvious reasons Apple would prefer your movies to be stored on the cloud. Many people however prefer to have a physical copy, that they can possess, that is easily playable on over 700 million DVD players worldwide.

FCP7; "unmerge" merged audio and video clips in the timeline?

Our TC was way off in some areas due to a bad timecode lemo on set. My editor synched by slate then merged the video with an audio mixdown track using the in points. Now when I export an EDL the original TC from the audio clip is gone, so he has no reference for matching up the audio. Does anybody know of a way to un-merge these clips and restore the original filename (audio takes the name of merged video but reveals correctly in finder) and timecode? Thanks.

what happens if you match frame the audio? I would think it would match back to the source audio clip which you could then use to replace the audio in the timeline.

Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

Audio and video playback latency ,since windows 10 help please

hi everyone I'm having a problem with my laptop ,video playback is lagging and sound to , sometimes making robotic sounds, and it all started when I upgraded to windows 10.my laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad x220 intel core i7 2.7 GHz processor 8 GB of ram previously had windows 7 pro now windows 10 proI tried resetting my computer , you know to have it clean and fresh, I thought this might help , maybe some old programs from windows 7 were causing this problem , but it didn't help , I also tried disabling and enabling the drivers from the device manager , is a trick I found on youtube , but it didn't work , I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advices .

Can you try disabling the Ethernet adapter in Device Manager?

Does anyone know how I can copy photo and video files from the Photo's app on my Macbook, to a USB stick or other external back-up?

I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?

The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export" and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

HT1454 Can I send audio and video signals from sling box on my IPhone to a tv using any of these cables?

I have an iPhone 4 and would like to stream the sling box signal from my phone to a TV. Is there a cable that will do this? I have heard that the only thing you can show on the TV from your phone is content stored on your phone.

TV out on the iPhone 4 only display video out for the apps that support v'ideo out. The app description in the App store will say if it supports TV out. iPhone4S will mirror the iPhones screen with VGA or Digital AV adopter.
