HTML5 videos freeze after loaded, audio keeps playing

This started happening some months ago in my old laptop and it also occurs now in the new one. A lot of times, when I play an HTML5 video (not just in YouTube, it also happens in Streamcloud for example), after it's fully loaded and I start playing it, it will stop (on YouTube the "loading" animation appears), and the audio will keep playing. The only thing I can do is mute it and reload the page. Whenever it happens, it usually happens again after a while, and it's really frustrating to have to reload a few times after it's loaded to be able to watch a 1 hour video.
My laptop has two video cards, an Intel HD integrated one and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce. It doesn't matter which one I use or if I turn hardware acceleration on or off, the issue persists.
What can I do?

Check that all of your software is up to date.
Also, post the web address where you are having problems.

Quicktime web videos freeze after loading - Suggestions?

Hi, just recently today I have been experiencing a strange thing when watching any quicktime video online. It will load the video completely and then as soon as its loaded my OS freezes for about 10 seconds, then unfreezes for a second, and continues until I can navigate my mouse to the X and click it. It also happens when I launch the quicktime player and try to watch something like the movie trailers and such. I was running the previous version of quicktime when the error started occuring about 2 hours ago. I upgraded to the latest and it still does it. Also, with the old Quicktime installed I got an error and I think it said something like Buffer underrun error or something to that effect, It would happen whenever I tried to load a video through the quicktime client instead of the web. Then the pc locks up and stutters really bad and I have no idea what to do about it... Any suggestions?

While in Quicktime, click "Edit" > Preferences > Quicktime Preferences. Then click the "Streaming" tab and make an adjustment at the bottom in the "Instant-On" area so there's more of a delay.

Dvd player not working after Instaling OS X 10.8.4 Video freezes while audio keeps playing

After installing OS X 10.8.4 I tried to play a DVD and the video starts to freeze up while audio keeps playing. Video eventually stops completely while audio continues to play. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

Try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the same problem occurs. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

PPro14CC - Playback freeze, audio keeps playing (OS X, iMac)

I think this is might be a similar issue to what others are experiencing, but the symptoms are unique so I'm hoping someone has found a possible solution by now?
One of our editors has been working on a large project (10 HD promo spots, at least 100GB of raw footage from Canon C300) and experiencing at least 4 crashes per day. And by "crash" I mean that CC14 stops playback -- the Program monitor freezes -- while the audio keeps playing. In some cases he can switch out to the Finder and then back to CC14 to stop the playback, and while he is able to hit "Save" and "Quit" the Program monitor never unfreezes. Some times though he gets the Beachball of Death and has to force quit everything, and curiously the timeline audio still plays out of the speakers after CC14 has quit and the machine is waiting to restart. On at least one occasion he got a major error and PPro created a new project file after closing down. VERY frustrating.
From what he's told me (I haven't been working alongside him that closely), the freeze ONLY happens when the playhead hits a clip that has filters or effects applied. Right now he's mostly doing a picture-in-picture effect with a beveled edge filter applied to the smaller window, and 3-way color correction on other clips.
For troubleshooting I focused on the graphics card first. The iMac has a Geforce 780 and was originally running with OpenCL so I downloaded the latest CUDA driver and switched to that but it made no difference. Turning OFF the hardware acceleration just made everything sluggish. I also repaired permissions on the drive. I'm hesitant to do anything too major while he's still working so please let me know if trashing prefs and/or reinstalling will wreck anything in the project or if you would recommend importing everything into a new one.
Brand new 27" iMac (non-Retina), 32GB ram, latest Yosemite (10.10) and CC14 versions, no plugins installed, no fancy system extensions or antivirus software. OWC Thunderbay RAID, M-Audio speakers, 2nd monitor is 42" Plasma TV via mini-Displayport-to-HMDI adapter in 2nd Thunderbolt port.
TIA, JVK

UPDATE:
We switched the Sequence Settings Preview to Quicktime>ProRes from I-frame MPEG, and it seems to be running better. Will update again if it fails to produce consistent results. Hope this helps somebody else!

Video Freezes after Update to 1.1

Video freezes after 20 seconds of play and then resumes with no audio after upgrading to 1.1.
From what I've read, this seems to be a problem when video has been converted using a third party software. It seems at this point, the only way to remedy the situation is to downgrade to 1.0. Here's how to do it without having to restore your ipod:
http://www.digg.com/apple/Howto_downgrade_to_older(iPod)firmware_WITHOUTrestoring
Just as a note, I called applecare and my technician was clueless about the problem. She was telling me to send it in, but I'm fairly certain that this isn't a hardware problem, just a problem with the upgrade, as people on many other forums are reporting it. In that case, you probably won't get much help calling customer service just yet. Hopefully they'll put a fix out for it soon.

Hi,
I had the same problem and downgraded to the lower version. now the video works without any problem, but there seems to be another problem. when I want to eject the ipod from itunes, I get a message, that the iPod cannot be ejected because data on the iPod is currently used by an external program...
any idea...?

UPDATE: AFTER RESTARTING THE PC IT WORKED WITHOUT PROBLEMS!

Video freezes, audio keeps playing always on main monitor

I just installed FCS2 on my 1.5GHz powerbook G4, everything works perfectly fine until I try to play any video files in the viewer or the canvas. The picture freezes as soon as I hit play on whatever frame its on, the audio keeps playing fine. Everything seems to be running smooth and fast except I can not get any files to play!!! I just upgraded my ram to 1.25 gb and im running mac osx 10.4.11. Ive tried reinstalling, trashing preferences and cache, messing around with every setting I could think of...PLEASE HELP!!!

What format is your video?
Are the appropriate Easy Setup and Sequence Settings selected?
Where is the source material located?

Premiere Pro CC freezes on a frame during playback, but audio keeps playing?

Hi,
First time poster, long time visitor to the boards. Running a new Mac "Pony Keg" (I think calling it a "trash can" invites bad performance ) with OSX 10.9.5. Here's a recurring issue: I am playing back a sequence and then it will freeze on a frame (different everytime) and the audio keeps playing. I can stop the playback and it will continue to play, but the frame is locked in. Next, I'll quit out of the app, and try to reopen, but nothing happens because Premiere never actually quit. I'll pull up Force Quit window and it reads as "not responding." I'll Force Quit, relaunch the project and things will work again for a while, and then I need to do a whole reboot. Any thoughts on what might be causing this freeze frame issue or why Premiere won't actually quit? I've seen these posts in some various threads, but not these two issues in the same thread. Thanks in advance for any help and insights offered!
Best,
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
I would suggest these things:
Do this first: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
If that doesn't help, Change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only under File > Project settings > General. Delete previews after clicking on OK.
If nothing helps, try this:
Go to the following locations:
Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
Location 3: Documents > Adobe
In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
Note: You will lose your customized workspaces, keyboard shortcuts and media cache.
Thanks,
Rameez

The video picture is hang but audio keeps playing

We are using FMS3.5 for VOD streaming. It’s spotted that when we are using Flash Player Version = WIN 10.0.42.34/10,0,45,2, it is encountered that the video picture is hang but audio keeps playing after our commercial break point. we will first pause the video content and then use the same object to play the instream ad. After that, the video is resume when instream ad complete.
Thanks for helping!

Cheers.

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
Press the "Delete All" button
2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.

Video inserted into AP Element - Audio keeps playing on rollout

Hi,
I have created an AP Element that on rollover a thumbnail video plays of the full video.
This works fine.
However on rollout, the video does disappear, but the Video Audio keeps playing.
How do I stop the Audio playing when the user rolls out of the link?

It keep playing because your rollout action doesn't specifically turn off the audio (it only makes the video invisible). It probably doesn't stop the downloading of the video either. So while the video isn't displaying, it continues to download the entire file..... not a good idea!
Depending on how you are playing the video, you'll have to devise a means of controlling the video (NOT just making it invisible).
For example:
If the player is a Flash player using NetStream, a simple ns.close(); button would work.
If a JWPlayer, you can use javascript to stop the player, something like this:
<a onclick="jwplayer().stop();"...........
I know that's an onclick event, but you should get the idea.
You'll have to adapt the principle to match your specific vid player.
To eliminate this very common video player issue, you MUST stop the video (and audio) as the very first action, BEFORE you make the video player disappear.

Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time, but audio continues.

As it says in the title, most Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time for me, but the audio continues.
Happens on Firefox, IE and Chrome

This happens mostly because of obsolate drivers.

Using time remapping w/AE CS4 to freeze time/video freezes but not audio

Ok I do alot of editing of sports. One thing I like to do is freeze the moment when a special play is about to happen, highlight the player (via masking), then resume play. I had no problem with this in CS3. Now when I use the same workflow in CS4 the video freezes but the audio doesn't. So when I play it back I see the video freeze BUT the audio is still playing...hence now my audio is not synced up with the video. Didn't do this in CS3. My workflow: from PP -rightclick clip- replace w/ AE comp- AE loads my clip in a comp- I enable time remapping- extend the duration of the comp by 5 sec- find the point I want to freeze-set a key frame-copy key frame to origninal position- now I have a 2 second freeze between 2 keyframes. When I check the comp in PP the video freezes where I want it to but the audio keeps playing during the freeze....even after render. Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm also having the same problem with CS4 version. I'm using Mpeg4 file shot on my canon 60d and it's freezing the video in places and continuing the sound. The whole clip is just over 2 mins and I don't have any effects at all.
Does anyone know how to solve this please???
Cheers!

H.264 multi-pass re-encoded video freezes after 10 sec (consistently)

When I take an already encoded H.264/AAC movie and re-encode (to enable the fast-internet streaming option) with the same settings with the "Best Quality (multi-pass)" option enabled, the resulting video freezes after 10 seconds, though the sound continues through the rest of the movie. I have tried this on 3 different movies with the same results. When I change the encoding to "Faster encode (single-pass)", the resulting movie's video frame does NOT freeze at 10 seconds and plays normally. I can reproduce this on any already encoded H.264 movie I wish with the same results.
I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 (PowerPC), 1GB RAM, QT 7.1.3 PRO. I also happen to have DivX 6.2.5 Pro and Flip4Mac 2.1.0.33 Player Pro (though I was not converting anything using those codecs).
Any suggestions? SEEMS to be a QT bug to me... Any one else experiencing this
17 PowerBoook (1.33 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM
17 PowerBoook (1.33 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM
17 PowerBoook (1.33 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM

No need to jump through all of the re-encoding hoops to enable "fast start".
Open the file (whatever format) and use "Save As".
This will place your file into a .mov "container" but the fast start properties will be restored.

Rented a movie on Apple TV but it kept freezing after one minute of play - help please

Try waiting a few minutes, or longer, to see if the beachball goes away. Start up iTunes, then go do something else for awhile. Perhaps iTunes is going some overdue bookkeeping and once you let it do it it will work again.
