Firefox stutters every 30 seconds or so on both videos and even when typing in search bars, is there a solution?

So basically firefox seems to pause every so often for a few seconds and then continue as i nothing happened.
For example, if i am watching a video on youtube or whatever then every 30ish seconds the video will stop and then continue. Another example is whilst writing this question, every so often the screen seems to freeze and then i continue to type and a few seconds later everything i typed comes up. It is just a really annoying problem and i was hoping that there is a solution to this. Can anyone help?

There are a few things to try. It looks like your video driver needs to be updated. We have an article with some information and instructions here - [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Also you have many add-ons, each of which uses some memory and some of your cpu resources. If the graphics driver doesn't improve the situation you should consider updating to Firefox 13 and running the Firefox reset - [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Why is Firefox opening a popup every time i open a new tab and even when i start Firefox?

Every time i open a new window or new tab im getting a popup with the Firefox logo at top left corner of the popup!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open.

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio? U

Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio?
If so what is the purpose of the separate optical audio connection?
Just a little confusion setting the Apple TV Up with my AV receiver.
TIA.

You would use both HDMI and optical by connecting the former to a TV and the latter to a receiver that doesn't have an HDMI input so that you could play the audio through your stereo system.
You can use the HDMI alone, typically directly to the TV or through an A/V receiver, as HDMI does carry both video and sound.
For the year prior to the disastrous 4.4 updates a couple of weeks ago, you could use optical alone to add AirPlay music capabilities to your stereo system, so that you could stream music from iTunes and devices like the Touch and iPhone to your stereo. The 4.4 update broke that capability, requiring the use of HDMI for no reason. Lots and lots of people have been complaining about that bug, as it effectively bricks the Apple TV for anyone who bought it for this purpose but can't use the HDMI connection.

Hi Brian
You can batch process a set of prepared slides from Full Edit (see image) using:
File >> Process Multiple Files
In the PMF dialog you can choose filename, date, or description (caption)
Make sure you choose a separate destination folder to your source folder so as tot to permanently overwrite your originals.

I have a clip with synchronized audio. When I trim a section of video it does not trim the audio. How do I trim both video and audio so that the clip remains in sync?

Why is FCPX not allow me to cut both video and audio tracks at the same time?
My separate synchronized audio does not trim when I trim the video. They are connected and synchronized.

The audio track does not edit along with the video. They go out of sync
Sounds like a different problem than your trim problem in the first post. If your problem is they drift out of sync, we'd need to knoow more about the project and clip properties – including how the audio file you're syncing to was created.

Any way to hear audio simultaneously from both Video and StageVideo objects?

In our mobile application that is built using Air, we run simultaneous video feeds. Video 1 uses the Video object (RTMP FLV Streaming), while video 2 uses the StageVideo object (MP4 Progressive). Since these two objects share the same audio stream and audio mixing is not possible, we can only play the audio from one of these sources – we elect to use the audio from Video 1. In the perfect world, Air would include mixing capabilities and users would be able to watch both videos and hear both video streams at the same time.
Is this functionally planned for the future, or is there any sort of a workaround to make this possible?
Also, we would like to use two simultaneous StageVideo objects to playback a live H.264 Video stream (.M3U8) as well as a simultaneous MP4, but according to documentation only one StageVideo object may be used at a time which prevents us from doing so. Is there any work around or future plan to make Simultaneous H.264 video playback possible? This is possible to do natively on iOS and Android but we would like to continue to use AIR.

... and naturally, no sooner do I post this rant then I discover the answer.
The very first thing I tried, "Export to disk" actually did the right thing. However, my nice, shiny iMac, barely out of the box, has .m4a files configured to open with iTunes, not Quicktime. So when I double-clicked the exported slideshow file, I only heard audio, even though the photos were included. Ctrl-clicking and choosing "Open With... Quicktime" did the right thing.
Whew! That was frustrating. Thank goodness I figured it out, because it was driving me NUTS.

How can I use QuickTime to make a screen recording that has both video and audio?

How do use QuickTime to make a screen recording that can be saved with both video and audio together?

do you know of any software that would record a QT movie playing on my Mac screen with both audio and video?
I have used Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X ($69) for years, but they are currently upgrading their Kext (Kernel Extension) software for changes inroduced by the Lion release so it might not be your best bet at this time. I also use ScreenFlow but it is a combination capture and editing utility which runs $99 and may include more features than you may need or will use. Have also tried Screenflick ($29) which, to some extent, appears to have a functionality somewhere between that of Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow. It is a bit more complicated to set up but for the price might be the best bargin at this point. All three can capture the entire screen or a portion thereof, with or without mic/line and/or system audio. (Or at least they all will as soon as Ambrosia updates its Kext routine.)
Here is a URL link posted by QTKirk three days ago to an article that recaps of a number of currently available third-party screen capture apps from around the world several of which may interest you: http://mac.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/10-screen-recording-tools-fo r-mac/

Creating album page with both video and pics

recently switched from pc to mac. was using blogger and coppermine for online photo album but want to give this iweb thing a try... is there a way in iweb to create a page that has both video and pics? i tried uploading my album but it only transferred the pics.

thanks for the feedback... let's say i decide to
stick with the photo template and make thumbnail pics
of my video to add in - can i put in a hyperlink
(either using the title or the pic itself) to the
video? basically, my concern is to keep all related
material of an album together in one spot.
Yes, you can do this. Just throw in the thumbnail pics of your video with the rest of your photos. Then put your real videos on separate movie pages. Then back to your photo page...you need to make the hyperlinks. So what you need to do is to create little rectangle shapes that fit over the video thumbnails, attach hyperlinks to the respective movie pages, then using the Inspector Graphics tab make the rectangle shapes 1% opacity so that the underlying thumbnail shows through. This is the overlay trick to get the hyperlink working.
Good luck!

Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

1080p 25fps exported to 1080p 23.98fps uncompressed Quicktime that stutters every second

I am authoring a blu-ray and the QuickTime file of the feature is 25fps. I didn't think it would be a big deal and just set Premiere to export the 25fps timeline to a 1080p uncompressed QuickTime at 23.98 but the picture hiccups every second like clockwork.
Can anyone tell me how to get around the frame skip hiccup when converting a PAL 25FPS HD file to a 23.98? Thanks in advance!

is retiming an option?
in the 90's when I was doing commerical dvd authoring in Australia (PAL) our masters were often from NTSC telecine transfers.
We re-interpreted the video as 25 from 24 and then speed and pitch shifted the audio.
It's a pretty common method. For example the NTSC DVD release of "The Thomas Crown Affair" (Brosnon version) obviously used 25fps audio retimed down to 24fps for the titles and then a different audio file at 24fps for the feature because the loop music in the title matches the opening credit music and you can hear it drop pitch when you go from the menu to the feature.
If that isn't an option then you're pretty much going to have to put up with the stutter since you're dropping 1 in 25 frames on the floor.

How do I use Firefox sync on my Android device with both Aurora and Release?

I have both Aurora and Release installed on my Android phone. I have set up a New Sync account on my desktop. I can log in to it with Release, and it syncs great.
However, my Aurora build keeps popping a "could not sign in" notification. If I touch the notification, it takes me to sync settings. I try to log in (same username and password), but it says "Could not sign in".
if I look in my Android settings, I have two "accounts" - one for Release and one for Aurora - and _both_ claim that they most recently synced 5 minutes ago! But I made an update to my bookmarks on desktop 10 minutes ago, and it's appeared in Release but not in Aurora. So the Aurora "last sync time" seems to be a lie.
The reason I'm on SUMO is that I don't know if this is a supported configuration. I remember with old sync there were some rules about whether you could have multiple copies of Firefox on the same device. Is this a supported configuration? If so, should I file a bug or have I missed something here?

HI Snickers,
There is an option to sync tabs. About:sync-tabs works on the desktop and can see the tabs from that device however this feature is not available for the mobile device. However from an active sync the current sessions are visible from the desktop page.
In order to restore a session you may be able to restore the session if it crashed. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026370#answer-644109 With these instructions]

Can I use iMovie to edit and enhance both video and audio of my homemade DVDs?

I have a lot of homemade DVDs converted from old VHS tapes. The video and audio quality need to be edited/enhanced. Can I use my iMovie 11 for this task? If not what are my options? Thanks.

Hi
There are several layers to this Q
• VHS-tapes has a low quiality as is
• converted to sort of .mpe2 to a DVD to be played on standard DVD-player - Quality is futher lost
• converting it back to DV or AIC - and more quality is lost
• edit it in iMovie'08 to 11 - even more quality is lost due to that when going from Event's to Project's - every second line building up the picture is discarded (as non of them - iM'08 to 11 - works woith interlaced SD-video
So if quality is of any interest - I would - and are doing
• Converting from VHS-tapes
- via a CANOPUS ADVC-300 - to digital
- in via FireWire to
- to iMovie HD6 or FinalCut (any version) - asa they all keep 100% of the interlaced SD-quality
- edit and put out on miniDV tape (still 100% preserved) or to a DVD made in iDVD with all that keep as high quality possibly. (No Video-DVD can keep 100% quality - it's due to standard and amount of compressing)
If Quality is of no importance - then
• DVDs needs to be converted to DV or AIC and this is no free standard on any Mac - You need a converting program as
- MPEG StreamClip (free on internet) + BUT it needs the .mpeg2 Component from Apple to work ($20)
- Roxio Toast™ - can also be used to back engineer - BUT this cost's much more - still to me all extras was more than worth it
- Analog way - DVD-player - A/D-box - import via FireWire
Yours Bengt W
