Dvd skipping and stuttering

Hi
My list on Bad DVDs
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU
Yours Bengt W

Iphone Music player skips and stutters with MP3s

With the upgrade to iOS 5 (and 5.0.1) on my iPhone 3GS (32GB) I began to notice skips and stutters on numerous MP3s about 10 to 30 seconds into the song. I don't remember having any problems prior to iOS5 upgrade.
The skips and stutters are somewhat reproducible in that, if I hear the skip or stutter, if I go back to the beginning of the song and play the song again, the skip or stutter will happen in approximately the same spot and will be of approximately the same nature (a repeated phrase or a jump or a distortion) but it isn't exactly the same.
Most of my songs are 256kbps VBR MP3s ripped either by iTunes from my own CDs or purchased from Amazon.
The facts (1) that the skip/stutter/or distortion is not exactly the same each time (2) the skips and stutters seem localized to the first 10 to 30 seconds of the song, then they play fine afterward, (3) that I don't have problems playing these songs under iTunes on my MacBook pro, and (4) it happens both with iTunes ripped MP3s and Amazon MP3s, would seem to be some form of OS problem rather than coding error. My guess would be some form of buffering issue or OS scheduling issue.
Has anyone else noticed these problems?

I experienced the same problem with my Iphone 5 skipping and not playing the music in my library correctly. I called apple and they gave me a solution that worked so far.
The problem in my case was created by restoring the new phone from icloud. Apparently, if you have a lot of music or data, the music files don't completely download.
Of course, make sure your music is backed up before starting
Solution: connect iphone to itunes / select the music tab / uncheck sync music altogether / hit apply or sync (this should remove all music files from your phone) / when completed, re-check the sync entire music library or select your custom playlists-songs you want on your phone / then click apply or sync to put back all music on phone.
This should solve your problems

ITunes skips and stutters

Itunes skips and stutters, and the program locks up and won't close, requiring me to use the task manager to stop the "program that is not responding". I have deleted itunes and then downloaded it again, but I have the same problem. Everthing else works fine and both Norton and Advanced SystemCare6 indicate there are no viruses or anything. Has anyone been able to correct this problem? Thanks! I don't want to go back to Windows Media Player!!! (Note: Version 11.1.0.126)

Yes, it's just untenable. I hate to leave iTunes behind, but I can't deal with this situation. Are you going to scrap iTunes and go back to WMP, or do you have a better program in mind?

Hi I have a HP ENVY 15-j185nr and My speakers audio keeps skipping and stuttering and i can see in the beats audio control panel that it fluctuates in the levels between the Bass and Treble and also The Volume. Now When I connect my Beats Wireless Headphones to My Computer i have no problem with the audio on the bluetooth side but when i connect the headphones on the wired side and plug it into the computer audio jack the audio is playing from both headphones and speakers and it is STILL skipping and Stuttering. My Computer OS was 8.1 Enterprise when this Problem Occured and since then I've updated to Windows 10 Enterprise by Doing a clean install hoping that this will fix the problem but it didn't After i updated my windows OS I can now see in the Device Manager in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers Category that my High Definition Audio Device have a yellow triangle exclamation point icon under it and its device status says This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful.

Is this a simple fix or do i have to take it in and get it fix by a computer tech? can anybody please help me?

Hi,
Try the following
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1
When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook by holding down the Shift key as you click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot. Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

DVD skips and 'jumps' when played in dvdplayer for TV

Hi,
I have an avi file that I converted to an ISO with the 'devede' utility. Then I used K3B to write the finished ISO file to a dvd-RW disc. When I try watching the disc in the player for my TV it skips and jumps in the last twenty or 30 minutes of the movie. It's not the player as it handles commercial dvd ok. Does anyone have any ideas what this may be??

Crap. Wrong topic thread. Sorry.

DVD skips and freezes

Hi,
I exported a final cut pro project (exported as quicktime movies) to idvd and burned a dvd. When I watch the DVD some parts freeze momentarily or skip. Can anyone tell my how I can fix that? Everything looked fine when I previewed it in idvd.

Hi st louis:
You don't mention what you played the DVD on, but I suspect it is not playing correctly because you mentioned in a prior post that you used DVD-RW. Even though iDVD recognizes -RW, it is best to use DVD-R to get most players to play the DVD.

Is skipping and stuttering the famed Dropped Frames...

Been pulling hair ever since upping to QT 7.0.3 and FCP 5.0.3. All of a sudden my former 4.5 clips are acting crazy in 5. Even when I just open them in QT the ones captured since updates act crazy. Old clips play fine. Did the 7.0.1 reInstall, dumped QT preferences, but still get stuttering action. JUST curious if this is the famed demonic dropped frame symptom?

Open the clips in FCP, and play them frame by frame over the skipping parts. Look at the timecode numbers. Do they jump as well? If so...dropped frames.

ITunes skips and stutters while working.

iTunes has begun sounding terrible when I'm doing other work that is processor intensive. Whether streaming or playing files, while I'm editing images in Adobe Lightroom. OS 10.7.2 iTunes 10.5. Its nearly unlistenable.

Update. No skipping via my two sets of airtunes speakers plugged into airport express. Only skipping on my USB Soundsticks plugged directly into my iMac.
Thanks!

Music skips and stutters over bluetooth

I use the default music player with a bluetooth speaker & in the car. The music will go quiet like a skipping track, but the music doesn't stop, it comes back in at the right point of the song. It's just as though it's randomly muted. I have looked online for fixes & I've cleared the cache partition twice. This helps the issue for a couple weeks, but doesn't fix it. I've had this issue since I bought the phone in early December of 2014. What should I do?

I understand your reasoning, but I'm almost positive this isn't my problem. I keep the phone in the cup holder, directly under the stereo. Also, my car is a 2013 model, so it isn't like my stereo system is outdated. Thanks for your reply.

My Illustrator CS4 skips and stutters.

When I'm working in Illustrator, objects stick when I try and move them. It takes a few seconds but they do eventually move. It doesn't happen all the time but as my work sessions progresses it gets worse and more consistent. It also stops my internet music from streaming when this happens. I'm running cs4 on my macbookpro running 10.5.8 I also use the font program suitcase fusion 2 if that needs to be known. This problem is fairly new and at one point illustrator worked flawlessly. Please help! I am dependent on this program for work and now its bunk!

What have you done since then? Installed something, updated changed workflow?
Try preferences: Anti-alias-option and/or High-Res-EPS-option
Have you perhaps turned on overprint preview?
Of course Suitcase may be the source of problems. Have youtried truning it off? Have you installed the latest version?
Try debug-palette: Cmd+Alt+shift+F12. Then Purge Undos

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Try a hard reset first.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button
until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds,
and then the Home screen.
If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks? What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

The DVD skips

The DVD skips and half way through it goes back to the begining. The music also skips.
I am making iMovies and importing then into iDVD. I have not experianced this on my DVD player, but friends have, about 2 out of 15.

Note that not all players can play all DVD media.
While the manufacturers of the media try to be
compatible with all players, in practice there are
always enough variations that you will have problems
on some players.
Some very old set top DVD players may not play
writable media, but all recent players should.
Problems with writable media playing in recent
players is usually a matter of burn-errors.
Computer DVD players have a high level of error
correction and don't have problems with the errors.
Set top DVD players are usually designed for
pressed, commercial DVDs with very low errors and as
a result, will often choke on burned DVDs written at
higher speeds.
That makes sense, I have just burned using disk image. and then used disk utility, It works on my TV, well see it it does on others,

DVD movie skips and breaks up when playing on tv

Ok, I have made a DVD using iDVD 08 and it works perfect for all my movies and slideshows (in my dvd player) except one.
There is one movie that breaks up or skips forward when I try and play it.
The movie seems fine in imovie and plays on my Mac with no errors!
I am at a loss what to do to fix this? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

My guess is you can't fix this type of issue. It depends largely on the dvd player and secondly on your media and the burn speed you chose.
You can try burning a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then lowering the burn speed to 4x or lower. Use verbatim and Maxell for best results. A third option would be to try a quality DVD Lens Cleaner kit from either Maxell or 3M. (don't use less expensive brands since they can actually cause more issues than they solve).
Btw .... Disc Images burned with Roxio Toast (as opposed to iDvd) to quality media such as those already mentioned above often play well on a wider variety of set tops under these circumstances ....
Good luck on this.

DVD Rip and then burn - video stuttering

I'm trying to rip from a dvd (legal) - so I can put it in Final Cut, add subtitles, and burn back to dvd? But so far, I'm getting video that stutters on my final dvd.
I tried to rip the video from dvd using MPEG Streamclip, then edited it in Final Cut before burning a dvd in DVD Studio. But in the ripped video the picture fades in and out.
Then, when I burn to dvd, the video stutters incredibly on a regular dvd player (but not on the computer's dvd player). Anyone know what's going on here?
Suggestions?

I just encoded it using compressor. A little bit of stuttering on the dvd (should I apply a de-interlace filter?)
But still have the problem with a constant color change on the video - is there a different program that I should try to rip with rather than MPEG Streamclip?
Thanks.

Burned DVDs Skipping over damaged area

My C2D 1,83GHz Mac mini (10.5.2) has problems with burned DVD movies. Both DVD Player and VLC will crash or give an error at some point: *Skipping over damaged area*. VLC will just crash and DVD Player will hang, you can´t pause or rewind.
The movies will play just fine on a standalone DVD Player. Commercial DVDs (not copied) will work just fine also. I´ve been using Verbatim DVD-R dics and the same movies play just fine in my PowerBook G4 and my MacBook Pro. I just got a movie from a friend on a TDK disc and that disc did not cause any probelms on the mini. What could be the problem? Is there a problem with the drive? I´ve tried burning the discs on 3 different Macs but that doesn´t seem to make a difference.

I can't help but wonder if this is an issue relating to whatever means has been used to burn the movies rather than the drive or the discs - particularly since commercial DVDs play properly.
It may be, for example, that the software used to rip or duplicate the originals has mis-read the original due to copy protection, and the disc is therefore not copied fully.
