Downloaded Video stutters on playback

I recently downloaded a video from the iTunes store. ("Lazy Sunday" from SNL--it's crazy delicious!) When played back the first few times, it played just fine.
Since then, on it and all other videos, the sound "stutters" or echos violently. You can recognize the sound but it is distorted by dropouts and echoes--it actually sounds like the soundtrack is being played twice, one version just slightly behind the other.
This is true on all videos, and as I said, it used to work just fine. I downloaded and re-installed iTunes. Any other ideas?
Thanks, folks.

I have this same problem after playing some 3d games. The video in QT (or any other player, really) will play oddly, the sound will stutter, etc. Rebooting makes it go away. I think it's some kind of video driver weirdness that I have been unable to figure out.
What's odd is it only happens occassionally, not every time I play a 3d game.

Video stuttering on playback

Mac Mini, mid 2011 (2.3Ghz i5), 8G RAM, OSX 10.9
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512MB
I've tried both Quicktime and VLC. When I playback HDTV.x264 mp4 videos I get periodic stuttering / hesitation. They do seem to occur most often when there is a moving, wide shot (although not every time), but they occur at other times as well. It makes watching a show/movie tough.
80+% CPU idle, Memory is in good shape, disk activity is low, and the monitor is connected via an Apple Thunderbird/HDMI cable.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? Is there a different media player that would work better? Or a setting somewhere?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

ITunes downloaded videos have choppy playback

I've noticed over the last few days that any music videos I've bought off the iTunes store have had terrible playback. The audio is fine, but the video lags and goes all fuzzy after about thirty seconds. The same thing happens on my Apple TV and iPad, but I've yet to check my iPhone. The lagging and distortion happens in the exact same place in the video each time I play it. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Hi, I don't know the reason why this is happening but I have the same issue with music videos. I conducted an experiment on another machine and after doing a fresh install and fresh download from the itunes store the experimental computer played the music videos without any issues so I know it is a setting on my Mac. I will let you know if I find a solution.

Flash video stutters when using DW's player

I'm banging my head against the wall with this one. I want to
add video to my site using Dreamweavers player. But, the video
stutters during playback. This is not an occasional hang up, it
seems to only play every other frame or so.
This problem has nothing to do with bandwidth or computer
speed. This problem occures when played back locally, AND DOES NOT
HAPPEN with another player. The problem is I do not want to use
another player. I add a lot of video for clients and I love how
easy it is to do that with Dreamweaver.
Here are samples using the same video file, only different
PLAYERS:

I don't see any evidence that you used Dreamweaver to insert
the
player. Normally, when you insert Flash with Dreamweaver, it
inserts
code I can readily identify. Did you use GoLive?
The pages you show are consipicuously missing the
<object> code and
the JavaScript that DW uses.
And I don't see any differences in the players. The pages
both link to
files named flvplayer.swf (in different folders) with the
same look and
the same file size. I am late in this thread, so maybe I
missed the
boat.
Anyway, I don't know if this would make a difference with
that player,
but one page uses a relative link to the .flv, while the
other page
uses an absolute link, including
http://. See if changing that one to a
relative link helps.
I only watched about a minute from both pages and, although
872 Kpbs
for the video track is VERY high, I did not see any glitches.
(Did you mean to use two slashes in the second link?)

I bought two Seagate 1TB Barracuda drives and installed them as a Raid 0. This did not change the stutter during playback. I contacted the GPU manufacturer and they said to install the latest driver. They have had several updated drivers recently. I have tried each new one as they were releases with no improvement. Nvidia said I can send it in for "warranty repair". I just paid for the GPU card on October 20th. I tried disabling the audio devices. No change.
I need help and do not know what to do next.

Downloaded Video Playback

Yesterday was the first time I tried putting video onto my new 3G nano. I decided to use Angry Video Game Nerd videos from a site that allows you to download them, as well as gives you the option to download in iPod format (MP4) The videos downloaded fine, but upon playback on my nano, large parts of all of them are blocky, similar in appearance as if the satellite signal were blocked from a TV. Any advice? All help is appreciated.

Just to add one thing, could someone give me a list of compatible video files for the nano, as well as answering my question? Thanks in advance.

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

How to Load Progressive-Download Video just when I press Play?

I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer
streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4.
I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.
Now I have a problem:
- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
Thus I want this:
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.
- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7.
- I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.
How can I do?
What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4?
I have seen this help page:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html#lo ad()
At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:
"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."
Can be useful this function?

Excuse me, I am a beginner user of FlashCS4.
OK!
StepByStep:
My site is http://www.cavallodario.it. Please see the third top section called "Sezione 3D">Maya>the last bottom video on the page is published as Streming video (I think)...
There, are all the videos.
I have understood that YouTube video is http streaming.
Instead, in FlashProCS4, I have seen a second Option after ImportVideo Menu (is Flash Media Server streaming?):
1) "Sul Computer" (on the Desktop, local); NOT CHECKED
2) "Già distribuito su un server Web, Flash Video Streaming Service o Flash Media Server"; CHECKED and selected the URL: http://www.cavallodario.it/filmati_Maya/flv/Wagon_01_PAL_Letterbox.flv
> Next > SkinBar with Fullscreen Button (called "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf") > Next > End.
But I have a doubt if this is a streaming function:
-After published the webpage via FTP with Dreamweaver, in IE7 browser the loading progress bar appears immediately, and loads the video when the webpage appears, not when I press Play Button!
Why this?
How I can do to load the video just when I press the Play button?
- I have seen the "NetConnection / NetStream" classes in the FlashCS4 Help, but I am a confused beginner user and I don't want write an ActionScript code to build a custom navigation bar.
Please response me!
Thanks!

Video rendering and playback option greyed out on Premiere Pro CC 2014

I cannot even click on the Video rendering and playback drop down menu as it is greyed out.
I have a GeForce GTX 660 2GB card which should be supported as it has enough memory. I am on Windows 7.
Would really appreciate if someone has a solution how to enable Mercury Playback Engine in this situation.

Managed to fix the problem by downloading and installing the GeForce CUDA drivers as well as updating graphics card firmware.
The Mercury Playback engine enabled itself in premiere after the updates.

How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

Some videos will allow downloading.
I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.

Do you have a USB drive hooked up to your computer?
First let me say that I have been fighting PrPro CS4 for about 4-5 days now, and only just started reading in here to figure out what i could do to "fix" my problem. I was having all sorts of fits with the playback inside of PrPro freezing and then "not responding." I came across all kinds of posts about computers, memory, drivers and settings, operating systems and all of that. It wasn't until some one that is also having struggles stated that they had a USB drive for unrelated storage did the light go on. So I disconnected my 2 USB drives (one a 250GB desktop Thermaltake drive and the other a 320GB WD My Passport) and loaded up a project that had all been rendered useless. VOLA, working like a charm now. Just like old times, I love my PrPro CS4, where about 2 hours ago I was ready to start working on my resume...lol
Bottom line, don't leave a USB drive hooked up.

AVCHD 1080/50i export to mpeg 1080/50i - video stutters

when exporting the complete sequence to mpeg 1080/50i the resulting video stutters at 2 to 3 points. Thus I exported 3 parts of the sequence: no video stutters. Then I create a new sequence based on the resulting 3 videoclips, export the complete sequences and the exported video stutters again at some points.
Can anybody help?

What version of Premiere Pro? ==> PP CC
Have you installed the recent updates? ==> yes
What operating system? ==> Win 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
What kind(s) of source footage? ==> AVCHD 1080/50i
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? ==> not relevant
Has this ever worked before? ==> yes, has been working for smaller export files (less than 120 seconds)
What other software are you running? ==> nothing in parallel except security & firewall SW
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? ==> No
Tell us about your computer hardware. ==> 6 core CPU 3,4 GHz, 64GB RAM - 6 GB RAM for other applications
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? ==> yes - NVIDIA Quadro 2000
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both? ==> only with the final output - the preview is fine - combining the shorter files (up to 120 sec) to one big sequence (4 min) --> the final export is stuttering at some times (even the export of the shorter files was fine)

Experiencing lots of audio stutters / choppy playback

With Adobe Flash Player in Youtube I am experiencing lots of audio stutters / choppy playback. The problem started happening only recently and seems to be getting worse. I am running Flash Player 11.2.202.208 in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP (SP3) with a pentium 4. I cleared my internet history / cookies. I did a disk clean up and defrag. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, and also turning off hardware acceleration in Flash Player. What else can I do?
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
I think the best approach at this point would be to gather system information and open a new bug report at bugbase.adobe.com. Could you take a look at the following FAQ and gather the info needed and open a new bug report? Once opened, please post back here with the bug URL.
How do I troubleshoot and report problems with Flash Player Video?
Thanks,
Chris
