Ichat Video starts to degrade after 30 secs (repeatable)

Every time I start a video chat session with my friend, the picture is good for the first 30 to 40 secs then starts to pixelate and get blocky. Within a minute it is useless.
If I cancel the chat and start a new video chat the exact same thing happens... good for the first 30 seconds then starts to degrade.
My friend says the video on her end is fine, that my picture comes through fairly clear and doesn't degrade. She has 10.4.10 installed, while I have 10.5. I'm convinced that Leopard has totally screwed up my Airport, since I've noticed a general slow down in internet speeds since upgrading.
This is odd though, since she sees a normal picture.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Okay, I'll give it a try. I'm not sure why that would change anything since the video worked fine prior to upgrading to 10.5
My friend is getting near perfect video on her ( Tiger) end, while mine slows to a useless pixelated mess. Its almost as if Leopard starts throttling down the incoming stream.
There's something wrong since nothing else has change but the 10.5 upgrade.

IChat video is not working after installed the 10.6.4 update

Hi. I'd like to know, how to solve the problem for my iChat video that has stopped working after I installed the latest update. I dunno what's the problem but it shows that, when I clicked on the preferences for iChat on the Audio/Video, I got "This computer does not support video chats". But that thing is, my iSight camera's working just fine, even the indicator's also lighted up. Is there any solution to this?
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Regards,
Daniel.

Hi,
The camera can only be used by one App at a time (unless you have certain Add-ons).
However if it works in other applications and not iChat I would check that the Video Menu > Camera Enabled is ticked.
This, if unticked, is the camera Off.
IF you have just done the 10.6.4 update I would Repair Permissions as well.
Try rebooting the computer.

Music degrades after 30 secs

I just installed iTunes on my new Dell laptop. Everything seemed fine but after a day each song would begin to flutter and progressively get worse -- usually begining to degrade at around 30-40 secs. this happens when i play files from my library (local) or iPod. These same files play fine in other media players. All files are legal. Any thoughts?
Dell Inspiron 9300 Windows XP Pro My OS is actually Windows Media Center.

I don't understand exactlt what you mean about
"degrade"?
What are your settings for Eit > Preferences >
Playback?
By degrade I mean the fluttering gets worse as the song continues. Flutter seems like the right word, but it's difficult to describe. To be more precise, it starts with a subtle 'skip' or 'flutter' in the song, and as it continues the 'skips' come closer together until it's unlistenable... but it seems more like interference of some sort ...
I brought my laptop to my office and did not have the problem. The only thing different ... have wireless on at home, so i'm wondering if it some kind of interference from my wireless network?
SOunds crazy, i know. Bumming me out
What are your settings for Eit > Preferences > Playback?
CROSSFADE PLAYBACK is selected is checked
the next 2 are not checked
smart shuffle random
... i belive all at default settings
thanks for the help

IChat video no longer working after Leopard upgrade

I always used to be able to video chat with everyone and then after my Leopard upgrade, no such luck... I looked through the user tips and here is what I have done.
1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
Yes, I have it set
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
Nope
3) Did you upgrade from Panther ?
Nope
4) How are you connected to the internet ?
Airport Extreme. Do I need to do set anything? We use it in 802.11n and nothing else.
5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ?
Nope
7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ?
See Here and here
8) List your Connection speed
6.7Mbps
Any ideas??
Thanks.

Hi,
2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

Video chat quality degrades after few minutes

I've recently added a new buddy to my list. I've been video chatting for a long time now and I had no problems with that. ALL the preferences - QT streaming, iChat bandwidth - are set as they should be. But the video conference with this new friend is a tragedy. I loose his image after 2-3 minutes (though the sound remains OK). The funny point is, I have a faster internet connection than he has, yet everything is great on his side. He has no image quality problems with me that's why I thought there is got to be something strange going on. Are there any other settings I have to change? Or is it just my friend's issue? My connection speeed is 1 Mbps and my friend's is 512 Kbps. Please help.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Sleezee Tycoon,
It should not be the Automation or the one that says just LAN/Intranet as both these return figures to IChat that can not be used.
512k is ok but we have been suggesting 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN as there are so many variables out there.
The iChat Bandwidth Limit should be NONE.
The only time I have it work with a less setting is over a fibre connection.

My ipod video sound cuts out after 30 sec

I play my movie and the sound cuts out after a while and then it only plays the video with no sound. It's not the video because it works fine on my computer and all the other videos are doing the same thing. I found if I rewind or fast foreward the sound comes back but only for a little while and the sound cuts out again.

This happens with the current firmware 1.1 upgrade on the iPod. You can downgrade the firmware to 1.0 and this will solve that problem. Doing it this way you won't have to restore the iPod which will erase it. If you can't do this then you can restore the iPod using the previous updater.

The other option is to use QT Pro which will work to correct the problem:
http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146142
1) Open up the Video file in Quicktime Pro
2) Select File->Export
3) Select "Movie to MPEG-4" beside "Export:", then click the OPtions button
4) Select "Video" & make sure the "Video Format" is set to "Pass through"
5) Do the same for "Audio", then hit OK
6) Save the file

FMS3 - videos start immediately in domain, 20+ sec delay outside domain

We are running FMS3 on Windows 2003 Server. Videos stream and play fine when inside our domain, but outside the domain the videos take anywhere from 20 or more seconds before playing.
After analizing the connections it was determined that the player is randomly trying to access ports until it gets to the one that works, but this is ONLY happening from people trying to view videos from outside our domain.
The server is not behind a firewall.
Any ideas?

Strange, but I don't see any of the FMS3 ports when I do the following command: netstat -ano | find "LIST"

As soon as I import a video from Aftereffects to Premiere, video starts shaking. After exporting too.

> I created a video (small animation) on aftereffects including a lot of text.
> exported it in avi and .mov
> try to import it in Premiere.
I noticed it only when I exported it but some parts are shaking.
I looked at the original parts of the video in VLC, no shaking at all.
I try to import it directly from AE, same problem happening, making the text impossible to read.
I used various format and it doesn't seems to work either
So it is not a problem from the video parts but from the import in my premiere project
Do I have to change codec or somethings, or have some import settings changed? Sorry I am a total beginner :s
Thank u very much in advance
the properties of the video part not working :
Quicktime
344,4Mo
1024x576

Videos stop after 10 sec. How to remedy

Just got Iphone 4s the past Friday. Videos start then stop after 10 sec. Tap play then stops after 1 sec. Will not play more than 1 sec. Solutions?

It seems that the work-around for this is to change the compatability mode to "Vista". Right click on shortcut, select properties, then the Compatability tab and enable Vista compatability.
Don't know why this was happening but this seems to fix it.

Video chat breaks down after a few seconds

Hi. I need help.
iChat video chat breaks down after a few seconds. Audio is ok if I begin with it, but doesn't work after a failed video chat. The message that pops up afterwards tells me (in Swedish) that "No data was received during the last 10 seconds. Info about audio channel: local machine uses [IP]:16402 and expects remote machine to send to 83.xxx.xxx.xx:43787." Repeats the same for video channel. What am I to do with the network settings to make this work. I have now realized that this is not a software problem (since upgrading to 10.6/iChat 5.0 didn't solve anything) so it must be the router or my new Time Capsule's settings. But where do I start?
Thank you in advance,
Rikard

Hi and thanks for your help,
I have now had a chance to try the chat again, works fine at first but after say 3-5 minutes the connection breaks in the same fashion as before, unfortunately.
One thing I noticed when flicking on Back to my Mac (just to try it for fun in Snow Leopard - it's never worked for me!) it first turned green, after which it said the familiar: that my router must be capable of UPnP or NAT-PNP. Funny, that was what I thought I had... Could this be connected to the iChat problem do you think?
About the NAT tab: it is really gone when Bridge mode is on, but it reappears when I change from Bridge mode, and when I did it really was on (by default?). I turned it off and changed back to Bridge mode. I have switched off ping as you said. No port scan or DOS/SPI switch anywhere.
I found a iChatConnectionError Log in my Library folder, here it is. Can you read anything from it? Sorry if I quote too much of it.
Thank you ever so much for your help and patience!!!
Cheers,
Rikard

IChat gets choppy after 90 secs- Started after 10.4.10 update

I've tried all of the above fixes including changing the bandwith anywhere from none to LAN as well as various combinations of the Quicktime streaming speeds. Nothing has been going well. Things have been the same since going to 10.4.10. We have Comcast and the download speed is 6 Mbs and the upload is 1.2 Mbs. I've tried it on our Macbook Pro 2.4 and Macbook Pro 2.0 with the same results. In addition, the FPS is always at about 15 fps. After 90 secs or so, the video becomes very choppy and the audio quality goes out. Interestingly, my parents (Mac mini) have no problems when they iChat with my brother (Macbook 1.8). This is getting pretty frustrating.

Hi Edsel Kim,
Do you know if this service is true VoIP ?
I could not see any further as the Learn More page wanted me to type my address in and Britain is not an area they cover.
It is about which ports iChat is using When.
iChat logs in to the AIM server on port 5190 by default and this can be changed anything but we suggested 443 as this is below 1024 and also used for secure mail applications.
This is ion the TCP protocol and allows you to Text chat.
If you want to Send files or Pics in the chat, iChat moves to the UDP Protocol and the Chat reads "Direct Chat"
iChat also uses UDP on port 5190 for Group chats.
And also your Buddy list - who is online and new Buddy pic and Status Messages.
For the A/v Side iChat uses different ports
The Visible invite you see in on Port 5678 on the UDP Protocol.
Then as ichat is a VoIP app it moves to port 5060 and contacts the SNATMAP server. This is an SIP/VoIP server that your iChat tells what ports it wants to use for the A/V chat from 16384-16403 (4 ports for a 1-1 vid chat)
This SIP process involves the SNATMAP server finding your Buddy over SIP and telling their iChat which ports.
It is effectively like an old fashioned telephone exchange with text based info passing back and forth until the call is successful then the server drops out and you are Peer to Peer (you can actually log the Buddy List off line now).
SIP is an International Standard and is always with ports 5060-5063. If the first is busy it moves up one until it finds a clear port of those 4.
Now other VoIP equipment like Vonage adapters can effect the passing of iChat SIP data.
AN ISP that offers a VoIP service can block the ports expecting extra fees for the service - although on the whole if they are told they are blocking an application they relent and open the ports.
So no. SIP is on port 5060 and can not be moved as it an International standard.
Find out if the ISP offer a VoIP service and see if they block the ports.
Any Vonage or similar adapter needs to taken out of being In-Line between the computer and modem and off a separate Ethernet port from a router (or routing modem).

Ichat Video issues after update

Hello, this is my first post so apologies if i mess anything up. My iChat has suddenly lost video chat capabilities. After perusing the forums i was unable to find a solution to my problem so i'm hopeful that someone can help me out. So far what i've been able to determine is that its saying "This computer does not support video chats" and "Slow Network" I found this odd since i had been using video chats just 24 hours earlier. I still have audio chat capabilities though. I did install a new update on my mac in that time so i didn't know if that was the cause of the issues. I am now running iChat 5.0.3 (745) and OS X 10.6.7. I have checked my download and upload speed. DL= 25.15 Mbps and UL=11.94 Mbps which i've gleaned should be more than enough. If anyone has any idea's why this is happening or how to fix it i'd welcome them.

Hi,
At iChat Launch it will check the hardware configuration and what Internet speed is available.
The speed is written to the com.apple.ichat.plist and is used as the basis for all iChat version after that (During the time iChat is still Open)
Starting up iChat whilst the computer is doing a download will effect this.
Same if another computer on the same router is using the internet heavily (Consider On-line games on Game Consoles).
Also getting iChat to Launch On Login to the Mac may get the app to start faster than it can Establish an Internet Connection (waking form sleep is prone to this) but maybe influenced by other apps starting and using the 'Net for Update checks.
Upload speed is the crucial one.
This should not be below 128kbps ("Real World" consider 256kbps)
A restart of iChat will most likely sort this.
If it persists delete com.apple.ichat.plist form your Home Folder/Library/Preferences (Drag to Trash)
Restart iChat after this and the .plist will be recreated from defaults.
This will mean that all your changes to anything but the accounts section of the iChat Preferences will be back to Defaults (Saved Transcripts, Font, Colour IM Colour etc.)

Ipod 2g will start and shut down after 10 secs on logo

i will hold power button then it will start loading with the logo then after 10 secs it just shuts down and wont let me get to slider

Try a hard reset. If that does not work, put it in Recovery or DFU mode and restore it.

Videos get stuck-stop-loose sound and start again--all in 30 sec.

hi friends
i have been using the video ipod since a month.i use videora to transcode videos..but today i dunno why but exactly after 30 sec. the movies get stuck for say 3-4 sec. and then i loose sound but the movies play from where they left..
i restored my ipod to factory settings but the problem still continues..i'm using the latest version of the software and i dunno whatz wrong all of a sudden..please help
Windows XP

no i did not..but how will that help
It won't. I'll make it much worse. Stick to the 1.0 updater that came with your iPod and don't upgrade to 1.1.

I tried watching videos using various apps such as meta tube etc.. But after 10 secs instead of video "Q" water mark comes and sound goes on. Can someone help?

The only app you specifically mention is meta tube. No way to tell from the description on the app page where they source the material (I suspect primarily YouTube), and no reviews as of yet. You might want to contact the vendor.
If you are getting the same results from established streaming apps, such as YouTube or Jasmine, I would say you have a connection speed issue (keeping the stream from properly buffering). Hard to say.
Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
