Flash video is choppy!!

I am in a language program in Cairo and purchased a macbook right before heading out here. We have language DVDs to help us with the Arabic and when I try to run it my flash video runs in a choppy fashion.
The disc works beautifully on other (non-intel) macs and on intel machines .
All of the Macbook at the apple center here in Cairo had the same problem.
I'd like to get help from apple via email, but couldn't figure out how.
Looking forward to reading your ideas,
Kaveh

The version of Flash Player you should have is 9.0.20.0.

Flash Video Jerky / Choppy Fullscreen Chrome

I've been having this problem for a couple of years using Flash video across ALL websites. When I play a full screen flash video, the video gets choppy or jerky. The audio continues perfectly. I'm a pretty tech and computer savvy person, so I have tried a lot of the fixes I could think of. I ended up finding one SOLUTION to the jerky video that works EVERY SINGLE TIME. If I right-click the full-screen video, and allow the settings menu to remain on top of the video while it plays, I NEVER have issues with jerky or choppy video. If I cancel the settings menu, the jerkiness returns immediately and remains throughout the video duration. To help diagnose this, here's my specs and stuff I have tried.
Dell 1764 running Win 7 x64 on a Core i5 processor, 4Gig RAM.
all builds of chrome in the last couple of years, w/ and w/out the included flash (i.e. disabling in about:plugins).
24mbps cable connection, with no buffering issues noted
Cleared cookies, history, temp files, ran anti-virus and spyware.
Have always been up-to-date w/ windows updates.
Fullscreen videos that do work flawlessly:
Netflix using the Silverlight plugin. Youtube HTML5 videos. Any DVD's or downloaded videos play perfectly in VLC and MPC.
So, in summation: Flash vidoes in fullscreen are Jerky/choppy using Chrome browser. When I right-click and allow that menu to remain on top, jerkiness goes away. Cancel the right-click menu, problems return.

No worries. I appreciate the feedback, and just want to make sure I'm understanding the data that I'm collecting clearly.
We're aware that there are random short-lived problems that happen during transitions in and out of full-screen and scrubbing. We have a number of bugs open on the engineering team around it. In general, these are usually complex timing-related problem with a bunch of interrelated, moving parts (codec, network latency, buffering, stream quality, hardware, browser, etc). They're really hard to debug. It continues to be a big area of focus for both the dev and quality engineering teams, and something we're investing a lot of time and energy into improving.
Also, it's worth pointing out that we test a pretty large matrix of graphics cards, and we partner directly with many of the GPU vendors -- but there's a ton of fragmentation and we can't check every single card that's out there in the world. If we see a bunch of bugs coming in about a particular configuration, we do our best to track the card down and take a look.
If you find instances where you're able to reproduce playback problems consistently, please file a bug. Include a direct link to the video/videos that you can consistently reproduce the video problems with, and include the output of dxdiag (or the graphics card info from the System Information tool on Mac). OS and Browser versions are also very useful.
I'm not personally involved in the work around PPAPI for Flash Player, but we have a whole team working on building a great experience for Chrome and Pepper. Disabling PepperFlash where it's enabled will generally cause Chrome to fall back to the stanadard NPAPI-based Flash Player instead. Keep an eye out for announcements about preview releases for Flash Player on PPAPI -- I'm sure the team will appreciate your feedback once they become available.

Flash video is choppy online for UK viewers

I have a video that I have encoded in flash and posted to an html page. It seems to run fine in Canada (where I am), but my client is in the UK and he says it is choppy and broken up as opposed to YouTube videos on his computer. I have compressed it quite a bit, so I am not sure what the next step is. Do I need some kind of video streaming service? Is that how YouTube works? Or does it just need to be compressed more? Is there a standard that works best? I'd like it to be around the same size as the YouTube ones.
thanks for any help.

Flash videos choppy in IE8 but not Firefox?

I noticed when watching most Flash content in IE8 it has a lot of brief pauses which makes videos appear choppy, But if I open the same video in Firefox it plays fine, Is there anything I can check that might be causing this issue? Im running the same (latest) version of flash in both browsers.
Here's one example, If I play this in Firefox the framerate is smooth, but in IE8 it has random pauses throughout the video: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-modnation-racers/100079
Thanks.

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

Subject: Flash Player works in IE8 but not Safari
Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
browsers must use the plugin Installer.
This is the Adobe site :

Hope that explains it.

CHOPPY FLASH VIDEO PLAYBACK WITH ADOBE FLASH VERSION 10-11

I'm having a problem as described in a previous post re: Choppy flash videos, pictures, etc.. Youtube, megavideo any videos viewed online appear fine at first and then after 10-15 mins, start showing choppy. The audio was not a problem before, but I have noticed that it is being affected as well. I saw some posts on another forum a few days ago that recommended disabling flash player 11 in my chrome browser plugins and enabling verion 10 (which was available, but has since upgraded) and version 10 was working fine until it upgraded to 11 again. Now I have no options to revert to version 10 again.
My system info is below:
Sony:
OS - Windows 7
64 bit
Browser Chrome 16.0.912.77
Browser FireFox 9.0.1
Browser IE 9
Browser Safari 5.1.2
Flash Player 11,1,102,55
McAfee (came with the upgrade of flash player)
This is very frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, rebooting the browser, my pc, deleting cache files and cookies...NOTHING IS WORKING. CPU usage is between 20-35% when a video is active in my browser. I think that is normal, but I know that the choppy playback is not and it's only getting worse. Please HELP!
I hope this NEW POST will suffice as per your requirements.

When the video is choppy, how much CPU and RAM usage is occurring? Do you have a graphics control panel that shows how much video RAM is in use when the video is choppy?
Do you have a list of sites and videos where the video is choppy?
If you don't want the McAffee add-on, remove it.

Flash video loaded into FLV Player choppy

I just upgraded to Flash 8 tonight, so I'm a little bit of a
newbie as to the new FLV Player that's included (so cool though!!!)
I was supposed to add a Preloader to a client's file tonight
and got nowhere :(
The Flash video that's being loaded into the FLV Player is
choppy and I can't figure out how to add a preloader. I tried the
AS from the help file, but it didn't work out. I'm assuming this AS
is not for use with the FLV Player?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I'm at my wits end with this
and confused as to why I can't preload the movie. The preloader
just blinks for a second, then the movie plays but it's large so it
gets choppy every now and then.
thanks!

Actually I did try setting the buffer to 10 and it didn't
correct the problem. Tried adding the suggested FLV Preloader but
it doesn't work with this instance (component loading external
movie file) so I ended up having to use a different FLV Player
altogether and it worked fine. Seems like there is something wrong
with the built-in component -i f another FLV Player works perfectly
without any additional programming or tweaking and was developed by
an outside source (other than Adobe.)
Thanks for your reply though.

Choppy fullscreen flash video playback

When I enter fullscreen in many flash videos, the videos get choppy. This is true across different browsers. It happens on different web sites, but not with the exact same symptoms. Some web sites' videos will work in fullscreen if I recently opened the browser, while others consistently are choppy in fullscreen. For example, youtube or hulu will work if I recently opened safari, but mlb.tv will consistently be choppy.
All of my software is up to date. I've tried repairing my disk permissions. I've downloaded shockwave for 64 bit. I've tried downloading the most recent beta of flash, but it didn't work, so I downgraded to the most recent official version. None of it has worked.
Please help!

I also found a solution that works for me. I completley uninstalled Flash from my Mac. I couldn't happier with the results. My Macbook Pro Battery life is more than doubled, It is no longer ever too hot place on my lap. My fan/s almost never come on anymore.
I use Safari as my main browser. Most sites detect my lack of Flash and convert video and adds to HTML just fine. Netflix works fine on it since it works off Siverlight. If I do need to visit a sight that requires Flash, (hulu) I just open it in Chrome which has Flash built into it. Visiting Flash sites on Chrome by the way is the only time my Mac gets hot and requires the fans to come on. Best fix I've ever done for my Mac. Litterally everything I do or run my Mac is faster and smoother. I no longer have sticking or spinning balls waits while flash decides if it needs to be working for this for whatever process or app I'm trying to use. Life on my Mac has been grand since Flash got the boot.

Choppy Fullscreen flash video

Hello,
I have a late 2012 21.5 inch base model iMac. And for some time now flash video has been choppy in fullscreen in both Google Chrome and Safari. It wasn't always so, when I bought the iMac last year in December it was working fine.
I tried reinstalling the flash player plugin but with no effect. Sometimes fullscreen video works fine, other times it is not. Sometimes putting chrome in fullscreen mode then making the video fullscreen improves performance, sometimes it does not.
I also have Windows 7 in Boot Camp and fullscreen flash videos (like youtube) work flawlessly all the time.
I checked the forums for different solutions, none work. One idea was to make sure that the dedicated graphics card is actually working and not the integrated one, but the new iMac does not even have an integrated card, just the dedicated one.
I have no overheating problems and as far as I can tell only flash video has a problem.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Choppy flash video

i noticed the flash videos from nba.com are choppy on my 21.5 late 2009 imac 8GB ram. Its not buffering because the video loads in totality and still its choppy.

Anyone having the same issue? Any advice?

Not sure exactly but look to the right on this page under More Like This and see if there is any help there - lots of threads.

Choppy Flash video/audio in fullscreen. Fix!

I've been banging my head against the wall for 24 hours now and this works for me.
I have an old MacBook Pro, 10.6.8, newest version of Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and a new Focusrite USB audio interface (Scarlett 2i2).
Installed the newest Flash player (11 something) and the Focusrite yesterday and everything went bad. Choppy fullscreen video, no audio in Chrome etc etc. So anyway, now it's all fine:
MAC/FLASH: Choppy video, no audio FIX.
1. UNINSTALL FLASH PLAYER. It *****. And it gobbles CPU power.
2. Bin the whole Macromedia folder from ~/Library/Preferences.
3. USE CHROME FOR FLASH SITES (has built in flash player - close Chrome when not in use to shut its flash player, to save CPU power).
4. ALSO: Have a USB audio interface? AUDIO MIDI SETUP: 44.1kHz OUTPUT.
That's it. Everything is now smooth in fullscreen in Chrome, and great audio through the Focusrite box.
*fingers crossed*

Does removing flash have any affect on the other browsers?
Yes - flash videos will not play in other browsers. Chrome has built-in flash so it still works.
However some YouTube videos will (after 2 seconds or so) detect that you don't have flash and default to H264 playback which seems to work fine.
I've now been using Chrome only for flash palyback for a couple of weeks and it works fine if you follow the steps above.
Last point - I often have to set Youtube to something lower than HD playback. Maybe just an internet speed thing.

Choppy Flash videos

Flash videos (such as the videos posted on http://www.greenday.com/site/picsnvids.php ) are very choppy. I tried to reduce the Hardware Acceleration in the Display Settings, but that option is dimmed/unavailable on the TouchSmart. I'm using Windows7, Flash Player 10.1, and Verizon DSL. Any suggestions?

I have had the problem with these browsers as well as with firefox. It seems I have resolved the issue playing with dimix device parameters playing in /etc/asound.conf (or with ~/.asoundrc if you use last one). Look at alsa wiki.

I avoid and don't use pulseaudio (in fact is isn't installed).

Flash Player Videos play choppy

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me. got a question, I
have noticed at home which is a p4 1.6gz with 1.5gb of ram that
when I am on myspace or youtube and try and watch the videos that
it is real choppy until the video downloads all the way. but at
work with a 1.3gz amd an the p4 1.8gz computers here in the shop
with 233mg of ram that they play the flash videos smooth even while
downloading. I have a faster internet connection at home than I do
here and all are running flash player 9 so does anyone have a clue?
I also just did a clean reinstall of everything after getting a new
harddrive at home and it still does it? I just updated my drivers
for the ati radian 9550 with 256mb on the card and didnt help. it
seems when my harddrive light blinks asit down loads the movie is
choppy. even my laptop on the same router plays smooth. any clues.
thanks in advance.....

Hi, The oddnews link played ok for me(XP/SP3). I don't have Win7 so can't test on that. However under the Help section is this you may want to review: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/news/technical/;_ylt=AsvmX6X1dZvvFvUS.tVvfw9.FiR4
Now I have hardware acceleration ON and the latest vs of FP as well. I did notice that when right clicking on the above video when it was playing that I could choose low/medium/high. I had it on high and didn't have any audio or video issues.
Some Yahoo videos just have a problem. I'd search that Help section and if that doesn't help, contact Yahoo. You never know how the video that doesn't play is coded so that's what I think. If it won't play on any browser, then it's probably the video.
Youtube is a good indicator and that's what I'd go by.
Be careful roaming around without your Firewall on, too many bad guys out there! Just looking for an opening.
Thanks,

Choppy/skipping flash video

I have a late 2011 iMac (21.5") that has worked pretty well since purchase in November, 2011. However recently I started to experience severe lagging and even major skipping when viewing Flash video content on a number of different sites. The behavior exists in both Firefox and Safari, and I've tried a clean install of Flash twice now with no improvement. I also upgraded my router to address intermittent wireless outages that I thought were contributing to the video performance issues. I was previously using an old Airport Express, and purchased a new Airport Extreme. That improved my wireless performance dramatically. Constant signal drops disappeared, and my speedtest.net speed went from all over the map with an average of 5Mbps to a smooth steady 50Mbps almost every time. However the video issues have persisted. Yesterday I downloaded temperature monitor to see if overheating was an issue. Here are my readings after about 40 minutes of running flash content:
I just purchased an APC UPS (something I've been meaning to do anyway) but I'm doubtful power fluctuations are the culprit. I'll try plugging directly into the router of course, to see if somehow flash content is causing some wifi signal variance that speedtest doesn't pick up. But I'm beginning to worry that my GPU is the real issue here. Anyone have a similar issue or any other ideas? I do still have Apple Care so if it's a hardware issue I do believe I can have it replaced at no cost.

Well this is funny. After all my troubleshooting and research, last night my flash video was smooth as butter and crystal clear. What changed? I have a feeling it was related to this:
http://www.businessinsider.com/timewarner-down-2014-8
I think even though Speedtest was showing a constant download speed of 50Mpbs it was masking an ISP issue that was resolved after the national outage. Glad that happened before I dropped $180 on a RAM upgrade.

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
