Flash video very slow

hi all,
Whenever i watch any flash video it almost unwatchable until i let the entire video load, even then it is still very choppy. I already down graded to flash 9, which helped a little but not much. it was fine until i installed leoapard, and i upgraded the ram when i did. I booted off my tiger external and it was still just as bad as leopard is.
1.2ghz ibook G4
1.25gb ram
30gb hdd (15gb free) and on the tiger drive there is 25gb free
safari 4.1 and 5.0
both are pretty much clean installations

Flash is a tremendous resource hog, and the processor in the iBook G4 really isn't up to the task.
Take a look through the iBook G3 forums, and read this thread as well, and see if any of the advice helps:

Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini

Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini . I can let it buffer for 10 seconds, it plays and then stops because it has to buffer again and convert the video in very poor quality. i have 20mb internet connection. my sofware version is iOS 6.1.3

Check your internet upload speed. You probably have a very slow speed.

Multiple crashes fixed by turning off hardware and Flash acceleration; very slow now. Takes five seconds to exit and still listed as a running process

A workaround was suggested by a member of the community to turn off both hardware and Flash acceleration. It worked fine (no crashes since), but runs very slowly. In particular, takes five seconds to exit and is often still listed as a running process. Very slow in connecting to Web pages, and very slow loading them because of the graphics. Very slow in loading video. I expected slower responses, but this is REALLY slow. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and an Nvidia GE Force 7800 graphics card with all the drivers updated and the plugins for Firefox mostly set on "ask to activate". Should I expect this much reduction in performance when the workaround I mentioned was put into place? If so, it's half a loaf at best. The only thing questionable is that I have two Youtube downloaders that I am trying, but I made the assumption that these were only applied when you downloaded something from Youtube.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes": do not clear the Cookies
If you clear cookies then Firefox will also try to remove cookies created by plugins and that requires to start plugin-container processes that can slow down closing Firefox.
Instead let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.

Flash builder very slow

Hi all,
i'm using Adobe® Flash® Builder™® 4.7
with Windows 7 64bits, Core i5, 8Go RAM, SSD Samsung EVO PRO 256Go
After a few minutes Flash Builder becomes very slow. I can no longer enter a lineunless it freeze. The processor increases its frequency and everything returns tonormal after a few seconds if I did nothing...
I tried the methods provided in this link:
Flash Builder 4 Extremely slow under Windows 7 + Java
It is better but still not enough.
Thank you for your help in advance!
Best regards,

Hi,
Don't know if it's the same problem that I have but here's my problem and solution.
Every time I embed CFF fonts in code I get the same behaviour, ie:
[Embed(source="E:/Library/fonts/arial.ttf",
fontFamily="Arial_CFF",
fontWeight= "normal",
fontStyle= "normal",
mimeType="application/x-font",
embedAsCFF="true",
advancedAntiAliasing="true")]
private const Arial_Normal_CFF:Class;
So my solution is to place all embeds in a separate master package like InitMaster.as
Then I just extend the main class with it.
package {
     import InitMaster;
     public class Main extends InitMaster{
           public function Main() {
               //Do your other stuff here
The sluggishness (is this a word?) happens only when I open the InitMaster and do copy/paste.
Oh, and I have a dual cpu, 12 core (24HT) machine with SSD dics and 64GB RAM so it's not a hardware issue.
Hope this helps.

Flash video encoder slow

I'm trying to convert a 4.5 minute *.avi to *.flv and am
having some difficulty. Flash Video Encoder says I have about 15.5
hours remaining (am 0.5 hours into the process). That seems wholly
unreasonable given the fact that it took me all of maybe 5 minutes
to save it as an XviD-encoded *.avi with VirtualDub...
Any ideas as to how I can speed this up?

I'm having a similar problem - but my issue has to do with
why the time to encode on my Mac Pro is slower than on my
associate's Power Mac G5.
I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files on a group license. On my station I have the following:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version: 1.7f10
I've got 151 GB available on my system drive.
Presently, it is taking me approximately 2 hours 45 minutes
to convert a 6 minute 26 sec mov to a flv with custom settings of:
Max Date Rate: 300 kbps
Frame Rate: Same as Source
Audio Data Rate: 48 kbps (mono)
500 x 333 pixels.
HOWEVER, on an associate's computer he is able to convert
under the same specs, same files, etc. in 1 hour 40 minutes.
His computer specs are:
Power Mac G5
Processor Speed - 2.3 GHz
2-CPU's
L2 Cache - 1 mb per CPU
Memory - 16 GB
Bus Speed 1.15 GHz
My computer has much more powerful processor, so we're
confused why it's taking longer on my computer.
I also have a second internal drive but presently the
programs and source file are on my system HD. Someone suggested
that I should try to make sure that the Video Encoder has max RAM
allocated to it as well as having the scratch disk and cache set to
the second internal drive. I don't know how to do this or even if
it's possible but looking for advice and suggestions on how to
better optimize the Video Encoder and would appreciate any help
with this ASAP.
Thanks!

Flash export very slow

Hello!
I did some captures (242 slides) but when I export the slides
to a Flash file, and when I read this file, it is very slow! For
instance, I can't see the animations completely, and the mouse
movements are jerky.
I tried to watch the project on a more powerful computer, but
it's also very slow. Is my project too big? (98,8 Mo and 8,95 Mo
for the Flash file).
What can I do? I already resized it to 640x480. I still have
to add some audio commentaries and I fear it might slow the project
again. Thanks for your help!

Hello ameloche35,
Whilst it would be impossible for me analyze this without
taking look at your source Captivate 2 file, I would suggest that
you take a look at
Exporting
your Adobe Captivate 2 to Flash article. I have to be honest
and say that having 242 slides won't help. I would try looking for
any redundant or slides you can get rid of and see if that makes
any difference.
Tip: In Adobe Captivate 2 you can remove all unused items by
showing the Library panel, clicking on the select unused items
button on the Library tool bar and then clicking the delete button.
Regards,
Mark

Flash works very slow

Well, flash video (for example, an Youtube) works slow.

You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

Flash CS5 very slow to start up

My version of Flash CS5 has recently become very slow to start up, taking well over a minute sometimes.
It appears to stall for the longest time during a loading process called "...Loading Accelerators" (yes, very ironic).
Anyone have any idea what may be causing this behaviour?
Mac Pro running Mac OSX 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard) and 14Gb RAM.

Yes I am using Sophos!
Do Sophos have a feature/bug request page? This is one feature I can do without!
Thanks for your help.

Safari 3.2.3 Online videos very slow

Hi. I just purchased a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Safari 3.2.3. Videos online - such as YouTube, news sites, etc. - are very, very slow. The buffering is extremely slow and the videos stop, start, stop, start and sometimes just hang. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix out there?

Update to Safari 4.

Flash is very slow in the new Firefox - why?

Dear FF!
Flash is running slow in FF4+ compared to for instance Safari and Chrome. We are launching a new section of Sesame Street in two weeks, and it would be great to know if the next version of FF solve this issue or if they should tell their audience that they should use a different browser.
We have always loved FF. But not sure what happened in the new version.
Thanks!
Andreas

Any updates on this would be great! Is there any solutions for optimizing this? Is this something to avoid? Help!

Flash player very slow only in FF

Firefox: 16.0.1
Flash player: 11.4
- Running in safemode
- Latest video drivers
When on a youtube video, I can move the mouse around the buttons and it will take about 3 seconds for the mouse to travel between the buttons. The same happens on the BBC News website.
All other flash videos seem to function correctly.
Watching youtube/BBC news in IE works fine. Currently, FF is unusable for these websites.
This also happens in safe mode.

since version 11.3 adobe ships its flash plugin with the protected mode for firefox - ie and chrome get supplied with different versions of the plugin:

Old i810 mobo with built in video very slow

Hi All,
It's been a while since I've posted here, I'm loving Arch all over again. After distro hopping for a while this year I've settled on Arch once again. I love the minimalistitc and elegant approach and learning about the configuration files and seeings to keep the system going. Anyway, I'm having one issue with an old P3 533 system that rests in a i810 motherboard with on-board video. The system RAM reads 384 MB in the BIOS as well as when the "free" command is issued which is telling me that the video chip-set is getting zero RAM to work with. Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the shared RAM with the video using config files in Linux? The BIOS does not have any option for this, surprisingly. Thanks in advance

I am quite sure that even on those old things RAM to the graphic card is allocated dynamically. I would search elsewhere for your problems. Which problems are those exactly? And which driver are you using?
And as for that 120 x 80, that's not resolution, it's number of characters. You shouldn't be using vga= anyway, you should be using KMS which will automatically give you a native resolution.
Gusar,
My main issue was slow window rendering and movement i.e., very laggy feeling. When Win XP was on this machine windows were redered much smoother. Since I'm running openbox, everything should be pretty snappy but it isn't. I've run Arch on multiple machinex and this is the only one giving me the issue. I'm not trying make a big deal out of this, it just doesn't seem right and I figured there may be an easy fix or something I may have missed.
Regarding appending vga=771 to the kernel line, I followed the wiki beginner's guide and have been successful with all my other machines except for this one. If I sjouldn't be using this feature then why is it in the beginner's guide? I'm usinf xf86-video-intel as my driver and have followed the beginner's guide for all the xorg requirements.

The video at the top loads way slower than the two at the
bottom.
Can anyone tell me why? Do I need to post this in the Flash

i've searched the forums and other guys have the same thing but no solution !
i swithced to mac to get over windows problems but i'm starting to get disappointed!
any help would be appreciated and plz give me some advice on how to handle the new keyboard! and anything mac
thanks !

I have been experiencing the same problem with an Intel iMac 17" here. I use a variety of external powered hard drives and flash drives via USB. I notice last month that transfer speeds had dropped considerably. That and the fact it had been a year or so since I had last reinstalled prompted me to completely wipe out and reinstall the OS (10.5).
After a complete erase and install, with all current updates applied as of this date, the problem still persists. For example, I have my iTunes library on an external self-powered hard drive. Playing songs is fine, but video is unwatchable. Just now, I attempted to copy a movie file (approx. 700 mb) to a USB flash drive. The reported transfer time was 5 hours!! This is true across the board for me, no matter how the configuration is, be it devices connected directly to the machine's own USB ports or through a powered hub, having self-power or powered through the port.
This problem has only started for me in the last couple of months, with regular updates applied as they came out. Resetting the SMC has also not worked.
