Choppy Video, iMac not up to expectations

Hi everyone,
my mac is driving me crazy since the day I got it. everytime I play a video in QTime, VLC or .... it's always slow, I mean the video. it's always losing frames which makes the experience very annoying. It never did what It was suppose to do from day one.
I have upgraded my Ram to 2G., have about 125G out 250G drive empty.
I have formatted and cleaned my system a couple of times and even with a fresh install, it's doing what it's doing?
I know there's a recall program by my s/n just missed the recall few digits.
QP53207NSDZ.
not sure if you have any answers, but I will appreciate any input,
note: since 10.4.8 I am having Fans at full speed issues while it's sleeping (this is a new one). tried restarting, repair perm. with no luck
PLEASE HELP, THIS IS EMBARASSING, MY P3 WITH 512 RUNS THE SAME VIDEOS FASTER (DIVX OR DVD EVEN).
THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT

"does it sounds like I am the only having this problem?"
You're not the only one. Reason why there is a Repair Extension Program for which your computer serial # does not qualify.
What I do not understand is, if you had these problems "since the day I got it" why didn't you report it to Apple ASAP or at least within the first 90 days of your FREE phone tech support?
Since your serial # is sort of "close" to the qualification # for the repair program I would contact Apple, ask to be transferred over to the"Customer Relations Department". They have more authority over Technical Support. See what they can do for you.
Otherwise, you may have no alternative but to take your computer to your local AASP & pay OOP since you did not elect to purchase AppleCare.
Good luck!

I moved a iMovie video from a macPro to an IMac. In iMovie the option to export the video to media browser is greyed out, but the video is not listed on iDVD media. How can I get iDVD to find it or find a way to re-export it to media browser?

Did you transfer a Quicktime movie files from the Mac Pro to your iMac? If so make sure the video plays correctly in Quicktime Player. If it does you can put it in your Movies folder and from there drag it into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. It doesn't have to come from iMovie. You can just drag and drop into iDVD.

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion

Problem: 24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion. 30 frame will play fine. I took the same 24fps shot, using the exact same setup parameters, and played it in my CS5.0. No problem. I did them side by side and checked to make sure everything was EXACLTY the same. The 24fps shot played smoothly in the CS5.0 source monitor. Can anyone tell me what the solution might be to get the CS5.5 to play smoothly? When I rendered it on the timeline in CS5.5 it played smoothly on the timeline. Perplexed.

Thanks Tood,
Here's the other info. I am running CS5.5 on a windows 7 ultimate 64bit (service pack 1) OS. All of the recent updates have been installed on both the OS and the CS5.5. The source footage is H.264.mov from a nikon d7000 at 1080p 24fps. My video card is an Nvida GeForce GTX285. My processor is an Intel Core i7 3.33GHz with 12GB ram. I am running no third party codecs or effects. I am using the Mercury Playback engine GPU accelerator. I am using a DSLR24 frame project setting.
Here is the problem: When I bring a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file into my DSLR24 frame project, or any project setting, in my CS5.5 and open it in the source monitor it plays as if it is trying to catch up; stuttering and skipping; it plays the same on the sequence timeline until I render it. I get no error messages. When I bring the exact same file into my CS5.0, with the exact same project settings, it plays perfectly in the source monitor and on the timeline without rendering. When I bring in a 1280x720 24fps.mov or any other size file into my CS5.5 in any project configuration, it plays perfectly smoothly. Everything plays smoothly without renedering in the source monitors of my CS5.0 and CS5.5 except for a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file in CS5.5. The exact one that I need to play there.
I would have no problem cutting in my CS5.0 if it intergrated with audition; which is why I bought the CS5.5.
Thanks,

I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem

I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem

By your use of "still", did this problem exist before OS X Server was installed? OS X Server itself has no particular linkages to video processing, beyond what OS X client provides.
Some details on the configuration might be useful. Are these videos you're having issues with stored locally in files, or are these videos received over the network and played? If the videos are local, have you tried playing the videos from a different disk? If the video files are remote, can you download the videos and play them as a test?
What software are you using to play the videos? QuickTime? QuickTime X? Does using VLC or another player work better? There are some discussions of choppy videos around the forums, too.

Videos not playing as expected. Help!!!

Hi All
Hoping you can help
I installed the latest version of Flash Player (Version 15.0.0.152) and since I have, any interaction with websites that require this add-on are now not acting as expected
For example, if I play a video in You Tube, the following occurs
The Adobe icon appears on my toolbar,
A window opens in the top left hand corner of my screen and I am unable to close it as there is no ability to do so
In addition, the video also opens in a new window. If for any reason, I pause the video I am unable to play again as the screen video player box goes white
The flash player is also continually crashing
I have tried uninstalling, cleaning my registry and then reinstalling and I am getting the same issue time and time again. My web browser is Firefox (which is updated to the latest version) and I am using a Windows 7 platform
Any ideas of what this issue is and how I can resolve it as its really annoying.
Attached are screenshots
Many thanks
Sue Grimshaw (UK)

Hi Sue,
Yeah, this is very strange. Particularly the way that we're popping the separate window. That might make sense if the video was full-screen, but this is strange.
If you haven't done so already, please reboot. It may just be that something is wonky after the upgrade -- we've updated all the components on disk, but some old ones are still resident in memory and unhappy, something like that. Rebooting will eliminate a number of variables.
If that doesn't work, I'd like you to uninstall and re-install, but in between, I want to make sure that Flash Player is actually removed.
Follow the directions here to uninstall:
Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
Once the uninstallation is complete, go back to this page on YouTube and play a video. Do you get the same behavior and pop-out Flash Player process? Some malware authors repackage Flash Player and attempt to trick people into installing them. If Flash Player still appears to be present, we should dig further into that possibility. If not, let's move on to re-installing.
Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
If you're still running into the problem after installing, please check to make sure you have the latest Firefox version. You can do this by clicking the menu icon in the upper right (aka the sandwich), then click the question mark at the bottom of the menu and choose About Firefox. If an update is available, it should show it to you. Please confirm the Firefox version you're using.
Thanks!

Print to Video - not working as expected

I'm trying to the Print to Video command to record my project on DV tape.
I'm using firewire for computer to camera connection. My MAC firewire port is configured for my camera model - SONY DRV-TRV-900.
My Sequence and Capture presets are the same: DV NTSC 48kHz. (My Capture preset summary shows that it is for DRV-TRV-900).
My Device Control preset is: Firewire NTSC.
Video Playback is: Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480).
Audio Playback is: Firewire DV.
When I select -Print to Video- my camera does go from STANDBY to REC and the timecode starts rolling. But when the image appears on my computer monitor it is not being recorded onto the DV tape.
In troubleshooting I did put my camera into VTR and then I was able to play the video from my project out to the camera LCD screen.
Appreciate any replies.

Thanks for this info. I had tried Edit to Tape before and had some degree of Device Control but the actual video was not being recorded to tape although the camera indicated it was recoding.
This is pretty much the same situation if I use Print to Video.
IN and OUT points are marked... and with both PTV and ETT I've configured to try both of the settings to record from - In to OUT- and -Entire Media-.
Note that in the FCP 5 manual it says "FCP cannot record to your camcorder when it is set to CAMERA Mode" and "Make sure your video equipment is connected to your computer, turned on and set to VCR, sometimes labeled as VTR."
So I've tried this setup on my camera and also have tried the CAMERA mode. Whether the camera is set to CAMERA mode or VTR the problem is the same...no video being recorded to the DV tape.
Is my explanation here clear?
Thanks
Jim

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 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.

Very choppy video

When using QuickTime Conversion to output to 1920 x 1080 and/or 1280x720 using the default settings within Options --> Settings (save for changing the quality to 'High) the output of the finished video is very choppy. Now using an Intel-based iMac with Leopard, I hadn't seen this before with my old (R.I.P.) G5 and Tiger. What changes should be made within 'Settings'?
Perhaps while not relevant, the settings within Easy Setup are as follows:
Use: Apple Intermediate Codec;
Rates: All Rates;
HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60.
This is frustrating to say the least. The video as input from the source camera is fine. I.e., no frame drops, etc. The source clip plays fine in QuickTime.
Many thanks.

Tom,
When viewing the video it appears that it's skipping frames; the video is not smooth or 'fluid' if you will. These are of Diesel Freights being taped with the train moving perpendicular to the shooter and one can see them 'skip' or 'jerk' when viewing the video.
The computer is an 20" iMac, 2.66GHz CPU (Intel Dual Core) and was purchased in January, 2009. (Right before, for the same money, one can get a 24" screen, 4GB RAM, and 2x the hard disk, standard. Of course. Anyway...). There is >135GB of available disk space on this systems 300GB Disk, which is formatted OS-X Extended (Journaled).
Noteworthy is that Videos that were exported on the G5 I had are not showing this problem when played on this iMac. Only those that were exported from this iMac. Also, when the video is viewed within the canvas it's very smooth. So I wonder if there is something awry with the export process?
Is it worth reinstalling FCE? I ask this also because you had mentioned not seeing multiple choices for output formats such as I see and had provided the link for. E.g., the ability to export at both "HD 1280x720" and "1280x720 16:9.".
Thanks for your patience; I know this isn't easy to diagnose without having it in front of you.

Choppy video playback with FCP 6 and 5D footage already converted to Apple ProRes 422

I am trying to edit a film I shot on the Canon 5D using FCP 6. I converted my raw files from the Canon 5D to Apple ProRes (HQ) .
But as I try to work on the timeline everything is super choppy and drops frames constantly. I am trying to sync audio as well and it's been impossible since the video in not playing properly.
I have read many post and did everything you say to do, but no luck.
I have chosen the unlimited RT and still dosent wanna play right.
I'm editing off a 1TB G-RAID drive. It currently has 200GB left of free space, so that shouldn't slow things down. My computer has a 500GB Internal Hard Drive and I currently have 250GB of internal free space. Here are the specification of my computer:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro3,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon

THis should be a powerful computer, at least thats what I tough when i got it. There has to be a solution to my frustration..please help!!!

Try transcoding to garden variety Pro Res for great quality, much smaller files, and less strain on your system.

You could have a problem with your external drive. Run diskutility: diskrepair and diskwarrior (if you've got it) on it Is it formatted macosextended?   You might run a drive speed test and see if the drive is running up to spec.
Try copying one file to your internal drive and see if that plays any better.
Have you tried deleting your fcp preferences? (get preference manager from www.digitalrebellion.com)
Are you just monitoring the video on the computer screen?
You might try resetting your window arrangement in fcp; window: arrange: standard and see if that makes a difference.
Is playback uneven on both viewer and canvas in fcp?
I'd go out and buy a 7200 Sata drive and install it internally and try playing off of that. MacPro's have 4 internal drive bays and it's extremely easy to install another drive.

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.

Assuming video is not compatible with compiz-fusion...?

I'm installing ArchLinux on a extra computer at work... works great... but for the fun of it I tried running compiz fusion on it. I get this:
[root@myhost ~]# fusion-icon
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* Using the GTK Interface
(fusion-icon:7540): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
* KWin is already running
* Setting window manager to Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
* Setting window manager to KWin
I'm just using an xorg.conf that was generated with #X -configure, and have also tried one generated with hwd -x. Both detect "sis" as the video driver. Listing below...
Am I right to assume that this means that the video in not compatible with compiz? Or could it be some settings that need to be tweaked.
Thanks for any advice.

Thats what I expected to hear...
Are you 100% sure? I just run glxinfo and it says:
direct rendering: Yes
And I'm confused. Are there any chances of getting compositing to work on SiS card in this case?
I'm not the expert here, but compiz can work with indirect rendering, so I don't think that's the qualifier for if it works for your system.

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
