Getting Videos to buffer before playing

I have put a video on my website...but it doesnt buffer quick
enough for everything to go smoothly. When go to the page, the
video plays automatically...how can I get it to play so the viewer
can wait and hit the play button when ready?

Thanks, I put the suggestion in last night. Hopefully it will be considered, I think it would be a nice feature to have. They could even add it in settings to play music videos as video when plaing among songs or not. Not sure if that's the best way to word that or not, but I'm sure they can figure it out.

  • Getting videos and movies to play on iPod

    I have many videos and movies, mostly mpeg.
    I have been waiting 4 hours, since I clicked export save movie for iPod play? This is taking 4ever!
    I upgraded to the QT Pro to accomplish this task, and the progess window now shows 28% At this rate it will take me years to save the videos I have - for iPod play!
    Any way to speed up? I can only imagine how long it will take a full length movie???

    Eddy:
    QT Pro is incredibly, incredibly slow - BUT the results are gorgeous and you don't have to fiddle with settings.
    If you value speed over image quality, then you will need to download Handbreak.
    Before you do, you will need to read the iPod DVD Ripping Guide, which explains the process.
    If you want to rip the DVDs you own to your harddrive, get MacTheRipper. Doing so speeds up the process of converting to an iPod-compatible format.

  • Getting videos on ipod before i run it over wtih my car

    I reacently got the 5g ipod and it's great, that is untill you try to put videos on it
    i know your all thinking in your heads i have explained this one hundred times but i have a sort of weird case. nothing has worked for me. i have videora and that doesn't work. i have quicktime pro and that tells i need some third party software.
    someone help me trouble shoot

    Bump,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    To troubleshoot, we need you to provide details.
    Please post exactly what steps you have performed and what happens when you performed them that leads you to say that Videora doesn't work (others have used it successfully, so perhaps you're performing the necessary steps improperly) and exactly what dialog/alert QuickTime Pro displays (i.e., exactly what text displays in it?).
    We can proceed to help after reviewing your detailed information.

  • I can't get the h264 compressed video frame buffer

    hello everybody, i tried to develop video streaming App on iPhone 4. But i can't get the h264 compressed video frame buffer before streaming these frames to network. Could anybody please tell me how to do this, thanks!!!

    Look to see if you still have A.Pack installed on your computer; it should be in the Applications folder on your boot drive.  That's what was used for AC3 encoding prior to Compressor 3.   In the meantime, you could lower the bit rate of the video in order to use the AIF audio file on your DVD.

  • Is there any way to read a video podcast's description before playing it?

    I subscribed to a (German) video podcast. It's episodes are all named by their date, but no info on their content. The episode's content is written in the episodes description, which - as far as I could find out so far - I can only read on my iPod if I play that episode in audio mode and hit several times the middle key to change the screen.
    Now, I'd like to choose, what to play (in video mode), before I start playing it. Any way to access the podcast's desciption before playing it?
    Thank you folks!
    TC

    As far as I am aware, there is no way to read the description before playing it.
    Not only would I like to be able to do that but I would like to know the running time of a Podcast (video or audio) before playing it and of course I would prefer the Podcasts to be listed in chronological order.

  • Insert flash video? Won't play

    Any tips on inserting Flash video into a project in Captivate 4?
    I can get video to appear an play in Preview, but after publishing, the video doesn't appear and the slide forwards.
    (Also, there seems to be a conssitent problme where preview is inaccurate.)

    The videos are in the same folder as the project, and they appear in the published folder.
    Tried path 2 ways:
    myvideo.flv
    /myvideo.flv
    Neither made a difference.
    There are 3 videos on this slide --- could that be a problem?

  • HT3775 So,  How do I get a MacBook Pro to play mpeg video?  I don't need answers detailing what it won't play.  I know it won't play everything I've tried.  Can anyone tell me what Apple software is necessary to play files?

    I've given up, time and time again on trying to play various video's whether from an online community or via CD/DVD file.  Searches offer countless non-Apple software solutions that all have inconsistent functionality.  Is there an Apple product that will actually work?  I have this problem with all my Apple Mac products, even the newest iMac which according to the salesman would work "no problem".  Friends indicate they have never experienced this problem, but based on all the returns on internet searches I suspect I'm not the only one.
    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do. 
    Anyone?
    thanks,
    Gunpilot

    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • Hi how do i get video to show on macbook pro i only have audio playing

    how do
    get video to show i only have audio playing on macbook pro

    You are going to have to give us a lot more information than that.  We need to know what MacBook Pro you have.  What version of OSX (these things should be in your profile).  What are you trying to do.  What program.  What kind of video.  We are completely incapable of guessing what's going on, so if you want an answer, you need to give us information.

  • I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro.  2 month old macbook pro running lion. says format not supported

    I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro.  Says format not supported. 

    What kind of video?  There are dozens of formats, some don't play on a Mac unless you have the right plug-ins for Quicktime.  There are some things you should download to help you out.

    These should cover EVERYTHING you'd ever encounter (though maybe not).  Frankly, if it's not H.264 or w4v (or both), it doesn't belong on your mac. 

  • Getting video to play real time in an NTSC monitor question?

    I’m trying to get video in my NTSC preview monitor to play real time. It will send a picture to the preview monitor but will not play real time even when timeline is rendered. I’m coming out of the back of my video card (ATI Radeon 9600) through a DVI cable to my HDTV monitor. Do I need a Firewire digital to analog converter box in order to see video in real time? I don’t want to use my camera as a pass through. Does FCE support a second monitor at all during editing?
    Any info greatly appreciated!

    Thank you so much for the reply! I just purchased a Firewire Datavideo DAC-6 DV to Analog Video Converter and it even has component out to the NTSC monitor. It will be here on Wednesday! Good to know I can run a preview monitor while editing. Thanks again for assisting me.

  • Why do I only get the audio when I play video files?

    I only receive the audio portions when I play video files.  The video is blank/black.  This is happening with mpg., avchd and the videos posted to websites; YouTube, Facebook etc.  The only video files I can play are windows media files.  Windows media PLAYER won't play the other video files?  I have the latest updates for my video card and adobe flash player.  Thanks for any info!  Elwood  Windows 7 64 bit, i7 980x @333 6 core processor, 12 GB ram DDR 1600, Radeon 5850 GPU, OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD

    It is most likely that the various files contain CODEC's, that are either not installed on your computer, or PrE is not able to use them.
    You list several file types, and I would urge you to first see this FAQ Entry, then get one of the file info utilities, linked in it, G-Spot, MediaInfo, or MediaInspector, then post the details on the various CODEC's: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    Also, that WMP cannot play the video indicates the likelihood of a CODEC issue.
    Try either of the great, free media players, VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both contain many useful CODEC's, but they do NOT install them into the OS.
    Good luck, and with the CODEC info, someone can give your recommendations.

  • Adding volume switch to Flash 8 video and stopping it play before it plays

    Can anyone help me on how to add a volume bar that works on
    Flash 8 video?
    I have this script on the video:
    myVideo.seekBar=mySeek;
    myVideo.playPauseButton=myPlay;
    myVideo.volumeBar = myVolum;
    myVideo.stopButton = myStop;
    I want to add a volume switch to my video.
    Does anyone know what I need to get a volume switch working?
    I´ve added a volume bar and tried to get it working but it
    does'nt.
    I also want my Flash video not to start but you have to click
    the button 1st to get it to play. Anyone know?

    Try this, worked for me:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/custom_flvcomp_03.html
    Also, if you want to initiate the video to start with a play
    button, have a fake player(graphic) and a stop action. On the next
    frame have your video component set to play automatically in the
    parameters, and have the play button you have made to goto the
    frame with that component..

  • How can i get my iphone to automatically play music after watching a video or something that requires audio

    I Have a iphone 5 and was wondering if there is a way i can get my music to automatically play again after watching a video or something that requires audio

    Is the jack not fitting into the top of the iPhone?
    If so then you would need this adapter for it to fit properly.

  • System freezing for a moment before playing videos - MSI GT 70

    Every time i double click a movie, windows freezes for like 1.5 second before playing the movie. it is not just a normal OS thing. it ALWAYS happen when i play videos. I received my laptop 4 days ago and this is the only problem i found so far. it may not be a big deal but im kinda worried because of some dude on amazon (who, btw, bought his GT70 from the same patch i bought mine from) wrote an angry review complaining about crashes when playing videos.

    Quote from: Mr Strange on 22-October-12, 05:31:27
    online videos are fine, so is audio files. the freeze only happens when i play the usual video files i download.
    try play them with different player
