Fast video playback

hello everyone. i've been searching the net high and low looking for an answer to this problem to no avail. i'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 version 4.2.1. i just did an update to make sure it's up to date and it is.
i've had no problems with any of the other three videos i've imported until this one. i've imported a VOB file that's 29.97 fps, 16:9 aspect ratio and all settings are set to that. i get normal audio playback but the video plays probably double as fast. sometimes if i stop it and hit play, it will play correctly.
anyone have any ideas? i'd greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

Use Quicktime 7 instead.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

Multiple video playback issues

Hi All,
I would dearly appreciaty any light anyone could shed on this issue - I have run into a couple of Flash bugs that have stumped me for quite a while, and my deadline is aproaching fast.
Essentially, I would like to play back 3 reasonably high res videos (On2 VP6-S) simultaneously in one Flash App (using flash.video, netstream and netconnect - code only). Unfortunately, when I do this, the video playback drops a lot of frames, however, CPU usage does not go much above 50% - spread over both cores. I'm using a Core2Duo. If I play the same 3 videos simultaneously in 3 separate flash apps (FP10), they play much better (and use close to 100% CPU). I even tried creating it as an AIR app with 3 separate windows (NativeWindow), but that made little difference. I have lodged this as a bug via the Flash Bug Reporting System (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2341).
And yes, I do need to be doing something as crazy as this - it is for a pretty cool kiosk app, so I know what hardware will be used (and it has a good Graphics Card).
One promising workaround appeared to be playing back a single NetStream in multiple Video instances, as it is NetStream that does the decoding, so I could decode once and present it in 3 places. Two of my video objects are actually the same flv (on different monitors), so there would be a 33% saving right there. If necessary, I could encode both flvs into a single 1920x1200 flv (I've checked - it would play back ok) and then use video.mask to show the relevant bits.
However, another bug has been reported at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-920 saying this does not work - Video in the object that last called attachNetStream(ns) will play, all others will freeze. They do mention a workaround that gets both videos to play - reset the size of freezed videos on ENTER_FRAME event. However, I cannot get this workaround to work - my first video is empty (not even frozen).
So there are a couple of things I would love any feedback on. Firstly, if anyone has insights on how I could get this to work. Secondly, if anyone could try the "multiple videos on one netStream with workaround" code below (simply copy, paste and point to a relevant flv) and let me know if it works and the versions of software they used, I'd be very thankful.
---------------Code Begins-------------
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
showRedrawRegions(true); // both the placeholders and the entire window redraws every frame.
// When only video1 is attached, only video1's region is redrawing
// When both videos are attached, both video's regions are redrawing, BUT video1 is empty.
trace ("Capabilities.version = " + Capabilities.version); // = WIN 10,0,22,91 // in Flash CS4 10.0.2
//var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection( null ); // Got Eror: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
// Connect nc here ...? Unnecessary in this case?
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = new Object(); // Simplest way to deal with cuePoints and metaData by doing nothing. For more, see http://blogs.adobe.com/pdehaan/2006/07/playing_back_flvs_with_actions_1.html
var stream:String = "test.flv";
var video1:Video = new Video(); // Defaults to size of 320x240
var video2:Video = new Video(); // Defaults to size of 320x240
video2.x = 320;
addChild(video1);
addChild(video2);
ns.play(stream);
video1.attachNetStream(ns);
video2.attachNetStream(ns);
// PROBLEM: Video in the object that last called attachNetStream(ns) will play, all others will freeze.
// See WORKAROUND below for solution:
//WORKAROUND to stop the first split stream from freezing:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event){
video1.width = 320;
video1.height = 240;
trace ("video1.videoWidth = " + video1.videoWidth);
trace ("video2.videoWidth = " + video2.videoWidth);
// When only video1 is attached, video1.videoWidth = 1920, video2.videoWidth = 0
// When both videos are attached, video1.videoWidth = 0, video2.videoWidth = 1920
---------------Code Ends-------------
Letting me know what exact versions of the following software was used would help a lot:
- Windows/OS (e.g. XP SP3).
- App code was written in. (e.g. Flash CS4 IDE 10.0.2, Flash Develop 3.0.1).
- App code was compiled in. (e.g. Flash CS4 IDE 10.0.2, Flex SDK 3.4.0.6955).
- Type and Version of Flash Player used (e.g. Standalone Debug Flash Player v10,0,22,91).
The versions I used are listed above.
Lastly, for what it is work, I found three interesting/informative results, but they didn't help me:
- When only video1 is attached, video1.videoWidth = 1920, video2.videoWidth = 0
When both videos are attached, video1.videoWidth = 0, video2.videoWidth = 1920
- When only video1 is attached, only video1's region is redrawing
When both videos are attached, both video's regions are redrawing, BUT video1 is empty.
- var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection( null ); // Got Eror: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
So I had to change it to:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
Does this mean my NetConnection class is different and maybe incompatible with this workaround?
Many, many thanks,

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Corrupt video playback in Kodi and black screen when emulating.

Hi!
I have a problem most likely related to each other. When I try to play back videos in Kodi the video just gets scrambled, it fast forwards very fast and looks generally corrupted and when I try to start a game in some emulator (for example mupen64plus) the screen just turns black.
Kodi seems to work really well otherwise, it got sounds in the menus and the menus are smooth when navigating. Same with emulators, the GUI (mupen64plus doesn't have one) works well and I can navigate the menus and everything but as soon as I start a game the screen turns black with no sound.
I tried OpenELEC (which is a distribution that has the main purpose of running Kodi) and the video playback works just fine. Sadly it's not very emulator friendly.
The packages I have installed are: "xf86-video-ati" (dependence: "mesa"), "xorg-server" (dependence: "mesa-libgl") and "xorg-xinit".
And the way that I the programs are usually from .xinitrc (example: exec kodi-standalone) and then xinit.
Hardware:
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+ mITX
APU: AMD A10-7800 (the GPU part is GCN 1.1 aka Sea Islands)
All connected through HDMI
Any help would really be appreciated!

If you use windows (havent checked on mac but it might work)
Disable Direct3D acceleration in the player you are using.
If you use VLC media player, Go to preferences, Video, And under output, change from default to "Direct 2D video output"
If you use Quicktime, Downgrade to Quicktime 7.6 or upgrade to quicktime 7.7.3 and Go to
Edit --> Preferences -->Quicktime preferences.
Under that, go to advanced tab, and uncheck "Enable Direct3d acceleration" (3'rd box)
Fixed the problem for me
You're welcome

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,

Video Playback Problems (iPod Classic 120GB)

Hi! I recently purchased my new iPod Classic 120GB but I'm encountering problems regarding video playback.
I downloaded a *music video* from the internet, and the file format is *mpeg video*. I then purchased an iPod Video Converter and thus changed the file to the appropriate one in order to play it in my iPod.
I played the music video first in my iTunes to check whether the video has any problems, but there was none, and it wasn't corrupted. As for my other videos, I have used the same iPod video converter and they were all fine. I then transferred the music video in my iPod.
Problem is, the quality was good and everything, but there are some *slight glitches in the music video*. There wasn't anything wrong with the audio, but with *some of the scenes* in the video itself. I then replayed it, then the *glitch transferred to another scene in the video*.
I then removed the said music video from my iPod, re-converted it, replayed it in my iTunes, then transferred it to my iPod, but the same video still has the same glitch.
So far, I have transferred 10+ music videos in my iPod and they all worked just fine, but I have 6 other music videos that are encountering the same problem with playback.
Does the problem lie with my iPod converter, or in my iTunes, or in my iPod itself? I would like to know.
I would really appreciate some help with this! Thanks!
For additional information:
iTunes - latest version 8.1
iPod - recently bought, Classic 120 GB
video converter - Allok Video to iPod converter
video itself - mpeg format, 204 MB

unfortunately its hard to tell where the problem lies... it depeneds on what type of glitch you are talking about. i really hope you didnt actually pay for a video converter... try "ipod video 9" which is absolutely free... top quality and VERY VERY easy to use!!! this program has never caused issues for me. if the issue is with your ipod it may be a delay in information transfer from your ipods hardrive. try defragmenting your ipod like you would your computer in the "my computer" window on windows, this does actually help your ipod read the information on its hardrive faster and should slightly--->drastically improve your ipods performance depending on factors such as how fragmented (jumbled) your files are, how many files you have on the ipod, the size of each file etc.
these are the only things i can think of!!! try both... see how you get on.

Video playback on mobile device

Hello,
I'm new here and probably this was asked before me, but I spent a lot to search on the net and actually couldn't find much.
I'm developing a web based application dealing with video - it should be controlable and have to interact with other elements of the app. The client now asks mobile apps - for Android and iOS, that should have same features.
I looked for solutions to play video on mobile device using Flex and building mobile apps but nowhere could find a proper explanation and results about framerates and performance. The other problem I think will be that the mobile device should play streamed video (which can be encoded in any suitable format) as well as native video - usually h.264, that as far as I understood, is not possible on iOS (I coudn't find out about Android).
On my Android device I can play very smoothly even web videos (in the browser) that are not "optimized for mobile" as it pops up during playback. I made a test and build a simple app that just plays a remote video using the Spark's VideoPlayer and its framerate was OK but the picture was terrible - some strange coloured lines appeared.
Is there anybody who has more info about video playback on mobile device, codecs, components etc. I need that info to make the choice to stick with Flash development for all the apps or to go for native development with platforms' SDK.
Thanks

Can you say even more about what it is you want to do? I mean, what will the application do, not what are the technical aspects of how it will work?
For a point of comparison, look at this thing I did:
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/mixit/
If you try out the Make page, both the template ones and the from scratch one, as well as the View page to see the playback unit in action. Is what you're going to do anything like that?
I have tried the playback part of this as a mobile app, and it so very nearly works ok! Amongst the many problems are that the overall data rate needed is quite high, and mobile devices aren't as consistant or high bandwidth as desktops, the external swfs often need code in them, so that rules out iOS, and to do the layering involved rules out H.264.
At some future time there will hopefully be StageVideo that can use H.264, but I don't know when that will be, or whether it will be responsive enough (FLV is much faster to connect to and play than H.264).
Incidentally, even in the Objective-C world you can't lay things on top of the standard iOS H.264 player. To do that you have to use the AV Foundation class, so it's fairly low level programming. Using FLV in Flash is a lot easier!

Video Playback in synchronization to data display

I've read a bunch of topics about recording live video, but my question has to do with playback synchronized to a data display. I've got a simple black and white camera (RS170) already. I'm going to get some sort of capture board. I want to record video from this camera to the hard drive. The reason is that this video file needs to be analyzed later so I need to store it on disk instead of memory as it could be days later. While I'm recording video, another signal needs to be recorded. It could be anything really, let us say temperature for discussion. Assume everything is in place for this temp. acquisition.
Recording video to disk doesn't seem to be any problem. My question relates to playing this video back such that when you play it, you can also look at a data display of the recorded temperatures that happened at the same time as the video was recorded. If you were to drag the video slider manually (instead of just pressing play), the data display would also update accordingly. This essentially syncs the data display of temperature with the video picture you are seeing. Pressing play and just watching the video, the temp data would update itself with the correct historical values. Pressing pause on the video, would of course freeze the temp display to the value at that time. Wherever the video is, the temp data would have to display the correct historical value.
I would need to record possibly a few hours of video a day so disk space could be an issue if using uncompressed AVI format. I wouldn't have to save every days video file so I could eventually delete a bunch of the files. I'd just save the days video that produces interesting results to examine later. A number of video files might build up (a months worth?) before the directory is examined for possible deletes. I'd like some feedback on this too from someone who has tried uncompressed AVI versus something else that is compressed. Is performance OK if using compression?
The computer I'd be running this on is the latest workstation class machine from HP so it is a fairly powerful computer.
Is there any sample code of doing this video playback indexing to data signal display? I'm thinking there would have to be some function to know where the video is playing at all times and then historically retrieve the temperature data. Is there performance issues with this? I'd want it fairly accurate such that the smallest increment of a video frame (say 30 times a second) produced a proper data display for temperature. In reality, my signal will change faster than a typical temperature value would.

I doubt this will satisfy 100% of what you're looking for, but it should at least get the conversation started on developing some techniques we can use to syncronize acquired data playback (again, let's say temperature) with some external source. I don't know much about video playback, so I won't be able to help you much there, but I do know a lot about leveraging LabVIEW technology to play back data in real-time as best possible, while allowing the user (or the video playback itself) to dictate a specific position at any time, pause, etc...
My first recommendation would be to save your acquired temperature data as a Waveform. Waveform is more or less like a cluster with three elements: a 1D array of Y-values, an intial time (t0), and the time between samples (dt). You can use these three pieces of information to reconstitute when each sample was acquired and what the timing should be configured for to play these samples back in real time. Search the web for information on writing Waveforms to file and reading them. You should find plenty there (or post somewhere else ).
After that, we can use a Timed Loop for playback. Timed Loops allow you to set a desired Loop period. They also have a lot of other capabilities, such as setting priorities, handling the fact that your last loop didn't finish on time, etc. Here's a link with more info on Timed Loops. Other than that, Timed Loops can operate like regular while loops.
My next idea is to incorporate a current position that we keep track of. This could be, for instance, the index of the current element in the 1D Y-values array. If you want this to involve user interaction with the front panel (for instance, changing a Slider value to reflect the playback position), then you could use an event structure with a timeout case set to zero. Then update the temperature value and increment the current position in the timeout case.
You might take a look at the example I've written in LabVIEW 7.1 that "acquires" 5 seconds of sine wave data and plays it back in real time. The user can adjust the position or pause the playback at any time. Again, I don't know exactly how this would interface with video feedback. If you have more specifics about what method you will use to playback the video, maybe someone with more expertise in this area could help us out.

Video playback so sluggish on eMac 1GHz G4

Just installed Mac OS X 10.5 clean to newly formatted drive. Has 768MB of RAM and enough hard drive space.
Getting to the desktop, it feels sluggish.
IE and webpages load slowly (that's relative , I guess).
But what is surprising is that video playback (eg, WMP or AVI file) is so choppy. Using either QT or VLC, all are so sluggish.
I take the same video files and run it on a PC laptop (abeit much faster 2GHz Core 2 Duo, etc... so not a fair comparison, I know).. and it is smooth, as expected.
What could be wrong? Is Mac OS X 10.5 too much for this old eMac?

You exceed the min CPU requirements for OS 10.5 Leopard.
It's RAM where you are sorely lacking.
Even though the min. RAM spec for 10.5 Leopard is 512 MBs of RAM.
768 is no where near enough.
If your eMac only has USB 1.0 ports, you can install a max of 1.0 GB of RAM.
If your eMac has USB 2.0 ports, you can install a max of 2 GBs of RAM.
IF your eMac is the newer USB 2.0 model just install the 2 GBS of RAM.
New iterations of OS X use more and more system resources and the more RAM, the better OS X runs.
Video streaming and playback is another issue.
Older PowerMacs can't handle the new modern video codecs that much newer Macs can handle more easily.
If the video is in 360 or 480p it should play and stream fairly fine with little to no issues.
YouTube, QuickTime, MP4s, AVI files encoded in 360 or 480p should stream with the right video software.
WMP files will be problematic on any Mac and maybe you'll need to hunt for a video player that works in OS 10.5 to be able to playback WMP files.
You maybe able to stream and or download/play 720p videos but these will be choppy and have a noticeable amount of frame drop. 1080p videos will not stream or play at all from direct on the eMac.

Video playback speeds up automatically?

Hi all,
I have a number of short cartoons for my cousins on my iPod nano (7th gen), but the longest video is giving me some trouble. It starts off fine, but about 10 minutes in, it starts to play as if it was on fast forward. Is there some kind of length limit to the video playback for the nano? This particular file is 26 minutes long, while all the other files that play normally are under 8 minutes in length. Does anyone have any ideas where I can start to troubleshoot?
Thanks!

Not a clue about the problem, sorry, but can "imagine" a workaround just to fool the problem.
You must have a PLAY button that connect to that first scene (first chapter in the track, I guess). If you connect that button to the second chapter (just to try) that plays fine or again behaves as it was first?
If that way plays fine, you can add a "false" first scene (i.e. one second of black exported from FCP) and connect the PLAY button to the real first (now second in the track) chapter.
I told you, it's just a workaround to have in hand in case your dead line gets close!!

Converting into a lower bitrate improves video playback?

Hello, I heard if you convert videos into a lower bitrate you get more hours of video playback. If thats true, what settings should i set my videora to? Instead of the default one

Hello, I heard if you convert videos into a lower
bitrate you get more hours of video playback.
The subject of the post and content of your post are asking two different questions.
As for the subject... does lowering the bitrate improve video playback?
It depends what you mean by improve. Lowering the bitrate might make the video run faster/smoother/less choppy but it will also lower the quality of the picture.
As for the message in your post... does loweing the bitrate give you more hours of video playback?
Probably, yes. The size of the video file will be smaller, so you can fit more content on the iPod. Smaller file sizes mean less work for the iPod hard drive, wich results in better battery life.

2014.0.1 Update freezes video playback

Since downloading the 2014.0.1 update, my video playback will work for about 30 seconds and then will consistently freeze the frame right before moving onto the next clip. The audio continues to play from the next clip while the frozen frame is on screen.
Yesterday an Adobe helpdesk team member did the following:
-upped the ram available to premiere to 13gb instead of 11
-changed my Renderer to: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerator (OpenCL) instead of Mercury Playback Software only
However, this has not stopped the problem from happening.
Changing the resolution in the playback monitor from Full, to 1/2, or 1/4 does not fix the problem either.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Same, thought for sure the latest Pr update was going to fix it. Have had to resort to GPU Software mode which is spotty at best, but seems to work the longest in that setting before freezing. Now wasting time rendering, its like being back in FC7 with rending. What a waste of money and time. Will keep checking back to see if anyone has a figured this out. FYI: My MacPro Laptop 2013 with Nvidia graphics card with 16Gs memory has no problems with any of this, but it kind of defeats the purpose, since I thought I was upgrading to a faster better more powerful system.

Online video playback is severally laggy/choppy on my macbook pro 2011?

hey guys, got a bit of an issue here. I've been noticing some SEVERE lagging issues whilst viewing online (streaming) video, from various sites, including, novamov, youtube, and others. the videos rarely stop to buffer as i have a fast connection, but yet they still seem to lag wildly. what i mean by this, is the sound will continue as normal, the the picture will freeze sometimes for a good 5 seconds or so before resuming, this is happening increasingly more and more..
i am running Mac OSX Lion (latest Update) on my:
MacBook Pro
17-inch, Early 2011
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)
If it helps my hard drive space is:
Macintosh HD
Capacity: 664 GB
Available: 179.79 GB
The browser i am using is the latest version of Safari, although i have tried firefox and chrome and i experience the same issue.
I have Sophos anti-virus installed and run regular scans on my system (all clear)
i really can't think of anything else which could be causing an issue here. I haven't installed any additional software for a while, not in the time frame since the error started to occur.
I am quite surprised to be experiencing such issues as lagging on something as simple as a youtube video when my £3000+ computer handles heavy applications such as Final cut pro and Photoshop with ease...
i MUST be missing something here,
I really would appreciate any help i can get here.
thankyou very much for your time

Hi Ben...

Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin required for most YouTube video.
Quit all open browsers. I'm using Safari as a test.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the current plugin first.
Then launch Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Video playback not working

Greetings:
I realize that this has been covered in past threads but I am not sure how to dig those up, so I figured I would just ask here. I loaded Premiere Pro CS4 on my brand new laptop Windows Vista 32bit and when I go through the Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons the video playback is not working, but I can hear the voices...not sure why. Also when the videos that are imported into the project I can see that there is proper video but when I try to play it back, I have no luck. Even the fast preview that you can use under the Project tab is not playing. Like I said, I can hear the sound of the video fine but as to the play back no video. I have checked and my Quicktime is the newest version and my Premiere Pro CS4 is completely updated to the latest version...any help here would be appreciated.

So I think I have resolved this...I went back and loaded an older driver and it all seemed to work fine. Sorry to post this.

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.

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video... read above about codecs
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.
