IPad 2 stutters video playback

my inlaws have the iPad2. I made a video and it streams from either my Dropbox or Youtube. Its standard def, heavily compressed yet their iPad2 cant play it without stuttering, I cant imagine what these 85 year olds have done and why it plays back with a stutter........any ideas.

it might be from a bad connection or a bad viedo feed.

  • Ipad You tube video playback issue

    You Tube videos keep stopping during playback. Any suggestions?

    More than likely, it is your internet connection speed. The iPad will not stream or download as fast as your computer will even though they are using the same WiFi network in your home.
    Check and see what you think
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=test+internet+connection+spe ed&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
    You can download an app called SpeedTest on the iPad and check your connection on that as well.
    Try viewing YouTube videos from a public WiFi place like Barbes and Noble or Starbucks and see what you get there with everyone sucking down bandwidth.

  • Ipad 1 basic video playback on Apple TV 3

    Hi, I have an iPad 1 running the latest iOS that's available for the iPad 1 (5.0x something) and I have an Apple TV 3rd Gen working perfectly with my iPad 4, iPhone 5s, etc. However, when I try to play video from my iPad 1 to Apple TV, everytime I chose 'Apple TV' from the Airplay menu, it says 'Apple TV is being used by someone else' while it is really not. to make sure my other iOS devices are not interferring, I turned their WiFis completely off such that only the iPad1 and Apple TV 3rd Gen is on the Wifi network. Still no joy.

    ipad1 does not support airplay mirror at all
    some apps as in the build in apps will likely support tvout with the hdmi dongle directly to the tv but fewer and fewer 3th party apps support the old tvout feature most just rely on the mirror these days

  • IPad mini camera video playback all static?

  • ITunes stuttering video playback

    I have a new HP laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit.  It has an AMD A4-5000 processor, 1.83Ghz with 4GB RAM and Radeon HD 8330 graphics.
    When trying to play my videos in iTunes (encoded h.264), they are choppy and stuttery to the point of being unwatchable.  Happens with SD and HD videos.
    The exact same video files play just fine in Windows Media Player on the same computer, and they play fine on my iPad 3.
    Things I have tried:
    I have uninstalled all Apple software and re-installed iTunes.
    I have manually installed QuickTime (I had no QuickTime icon in Control Panel after only installing iTunes).
    I have installed the CCCP codec pack.
    I have amended QuickTime's settings to disable Direct3D hardware acceleration, and also disabled all DirectX settings in QuickTime (i.e. "Safe Mode").
    I have manually installed DirectX

    OK, so I found in another thread how to enable legacy codecs via terminal, and I did that.
    After that I think there was a subjective improvement the *first* time I loaded a .mov file to view in QT X, then same old stutter and lag for that file and other formats also.
    FWIW, the files seem to view OK if I use VLC. But that does not help with the protected .m4V files from ITMS.
    Anyone got any other suggestions?
    Like I said, surely my MBP ought be able to play videos from iTunes, it used to be able to.

  • Video playback stutter

    Hey everyone, having playback issues when using iTunes or Front Row, stuttering video playback.  This happens with purchased content in iTunes or ripped content in either software.  Using handbrake for backups of my DVDs and this is driving me nuts.  There are a few occasions when this will not happen.  But nothing consistent that I can track it.  Dual video cards, 1 to my 22" monitor and the other hdmi out to my 46" Sony Bravia.  Any thoughts would be great.
    Thanks!!

    nah, i figured out the problem. It was the video, it wasnt playing well at all. I just re-downloaded it and it worked fine

  • Why is video playback continually stuttering after the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update?

    Since updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 video playback in iTunes and QuickTime is unwatchable. The video stutters constantly then plays catch up to the sound. I'm running a 2011 Mac Mini i5 2.3 GHz and 8 Gb of RAM. Anyone know how to roll back the update to a working version of Mountain Lion?

    Hello, you'd have to reinstall 10.8.0 or 10.8.1, but...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Video playback stutters in small viewer

    When I start playing an event or project in the small viewer window in iMovie 11 (at the top right of the screen), the video plays for a few seconds then stops, then plays some more, and pauses again. It keeps stuttering during playback. The strange this is, when I play back in full screen mode (command-G), it plays back smoothly without interruption. The video source is a DV file. It used to play back just fine in the small viewer, but then something happened. My iMac is a quad core and plenty fast enough. Any ideas?

    easy answer first: your audio properties do not
    match your sequence audio properties, hence the need
    to render. if you're working with mini dv, the audio
    should be sampled at 16 bit 48k but as you've a
    problem, i'll surmise that you're not using the easy
    setup to capture and set up your project.
    I did the capture awhile ago. I don't think I did anything unusual, but I can't guarantee I didn't. See my answer above to Jim Cookman. If I did, I'm not seeing what it was - nor, more importantly, how to resolve it. Would batch-processing the clips to reconvert the sound in some way be appropriate? If so, any ideas what I would convert to?
    it would be helpful if you would go into more detail
    about your set up. none of us can look over your
    shoulder. where's this media stored? system drive
    or another hard drive? if another hard drive, is
    that an internal or an external hard drive? if it's
    external, how do you have it connected; firewire or
    usb? if it's firewire, what else shares the firewire
    bus? if it's usb, stop using usb!
    External Firewire 400 drive - 4th and last on a chain.
    what have you done to your computer recently?
    I keep it upgraded with normal Software Update changes. Got the new version of FCP (5.1) a couple months back and it's upgraded to 5.1.4. I don't think I've done anything else out of the ordinary.
    Of course I don't want to rule out anything - but the clips play back fine in the Canvas and in QT, so I'm skeptical it would be a hardware issue.
    Thanks - I appreciate your interest and help.

  • Video playback in ALL applications stutters while using battery only.

    Video playback in ALL applications stutters while using battery only. All OK when running from power adaptor. New battery did not fix. Recently updated iTunes to 11.0.5 and Flash player 11.8.800.94 .

    Thank you again andyBall_uk.
    I have successfully run Apple Hardware Test and it returned the error code...
    4SNS/1/40000001:VPOR
    A  Google search reveals that this is a sensor error. The "V" of VPOR indicates a voltage sensor and the "P" indicates the sensor is on the Power bus. However don't yet know what the "OR" refers to.
    I have had a non operative optical disk drive for a year or more but the fault with the video only developed in the last week or two. Could the "O" in VPOR refer to the Optical drive?
    By the way, I got the impression from the instructions on running the Apple Hardware Test that I had to use the internal dvd drive to run the APT program from the install disk. But this turned out to be not the case. Just put install disk ito an external drive plugged into the usb ports and use system preferences to set this drive as the start up disk.

  • How to control the video playback function on ipad?

    Hi there,
    I am creating a project containing video content that will be delivered on an ipad. I would like my video to behave like many other videos do on ipad publications:
    1. I want the poster frame of the video to appear small on the page before it is clicked
    2. When the poster frame for the video is clicked, I would like the video to expand to full screen using iOS's built in video capabilities
    3. The user can then press "Done" to exit full screen mode back to the page that displays the small poster frame of the video
    I have placed my video (an mp4 file) inside a small frame and set the Media panel options to:
    -Play on page load (unchecked)
    -Loop (unchecked)
    -Poster (from image)
    -Controller (SkinOverPlaySeekFullScreen)
    -Show controller on Rollover (Checked)
    However, when I publish to ipad my video behaves as follows:
    1. The poster frame appears small before it is clicked
    2. When the video is clicked it opens to the full video size (not full screen), however it operlaps the text layout rather than creating a black background to mask the content while the video plays
    3. The video skin does not allow the user to navigate out of full screen mode back to the original layout of the page
    Also, no matter what video skin I choose it doesn't seem to change the skin. The skin is always the same, including a mute and play/pause button and no other user controls.
    How do I create a skin that allows me to leverage the iOS video playback capabilities?

    I can almost see a big grin appearing in Bob's avatar... 
    Hopefully his reply has given you a clue already?
    If not, some explanation:
    Many settings in the standard "Media" panel (for both video and audio) don't apply for publications that need to go the Folio-way. This panel is mainly concerned with lovely Flash stuff, but apart from the Poster frame and the Markers, it is useless for Folio's.
    A quick guide: create a video with the necessary codec (H.264 for video, MP# or AAC for audio) at the required pixel size (exact width/height). Simply Place the file in InDesign, but don't scale it (or recreate and place a properly sized new video afterwards). Choose what to do with the Poster frame (and maybe some Markers), but all other settings are done in the Overlay Creator.
    Check Bob Bringhurst's Tutorials and his DPS Tips app for more info. But I guess you get the idea now.

  • Audio and video playback stuttering...sometimes

    I'm having issues with audio and video playback stuttering at times in several applications. It's the same kind of skipping or stuttering in each application, whether it's iTunes (version 10) or YouTube or Netflix (Safari). I can also hear it when I'm just adjusting the volume via the keyboard, the "clicks" stutter.
    I'm not running anything other than iTunes and Safari at once, the iMac has 2 gbs of RAM, it's running Snow Leopard. It also will work sometimes for a while. I just can't figure out why it will work sometimes and not others. Any ideas about what the cause may be? Quicktime X have anything to do with it?

    video playback stuttering at times in several applications.
    Quicktime wouldn't work either.
    Until you max out your ram, you are pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place.  In the meantime, make sure you have the latest versions of
    Adobe Flash Player
    Flip4Mac
    VLC Media Player
    Perian
    Movist
    I'm noticing that in general it's running extremely slowly now, even with only the browser running.
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.

  • I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

    I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

    Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
    Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

  • IPad 2 screen becomes unresponsive during video playback

    I just purchased an iPad 2, and one of the first disappointments I've seen is that the screen becomes completely unresponsive during playback of a video with the "Videos" App.  This happens after the video has been playing for several seconds.  Is there a fix to this problem?  My only recourse was to shut down the application; however, the problem is persistent.  This means there is NO control of video playback, i.e., pause, FForward, Reverse, Skip????  I have already updated my iPad 2 with the latest OS.  What gives??? 

    What quite often works for people with problems with the Videos app are the following.
    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPad 2 Video playback Quality Issue (Low Contrast and grayish black)

    Does anyone notice that the video playback quality is really bad on the iPad 2? If you try to play any video (youtube, apple trailer, your own converted video) on the iPad 2, any black images will turn grayish... Just put your iPhone, iPod touch, or even the older iPad next to it, then you will notice a BIG difference. The color is similar to what happened when you set the gamma incorrectly on a display.
    Also, you will notice this more if you change the orientation of the device, the contrast will be corrected for a fraction of a second.
    I've tried this on other iPad 2 and they all share the same problem. I tried to talk to the Apple Genius Bar and they refused to give me a proper answer on this, instead simply claiming that is just the way it is... I wanted to refund this but I've passed the 14 days rule and also I got it from a authorized retailer and so Apple just won't take it back.
    I believe it can be fixed by software... Any idea? or I shall throw it away T_T

    I'm on the phone with apple support right now. I work at a post production house, and we/our clients keep having this issue - everything looks great on screen and on the ipad 1, and theres a huge gamma shift on the ipad 2. they need to fix this ASAP. like Jls21 already said, a lot of us use ipads for work purposes - unacceptable!
    this thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/15100980#15100980 ) seems to blame the h.264 codec/compression settings…? does anyone know of another codec that prevents this gamma shift on the ipad 2?
    this is from the tech specs page:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    is there anything that jumps out to anyone regarding workarounds for this issue?
    we've used both Compressor and MPEG Streamclip - there's no quality difference between them, in case anyone is trying that.
    okay so, i was transferred to a senior technical rep and he looked it up - apparently apple is getting a bunch of complaints about this issue and they've submitted it to their developers. the more people that call and complain, the higher up on the priority list it goes to be fixed in a software update. there is no workaround known, and it's a standard issue across all ipad 2's.

  • Apple TV video playback stutters - even with SD

    Hi,
    i don't know what i am doing wrong, but i have some serious video playback troubles with my new atv:
    All files start to play fine, but somehow - like every few seconds - the movie seems to stuck for a very short time - just an eyeblink. it looks quite the same when you play a HD Movie on a computer and the CPU is not really capable of playing back this files...
    it doesn't matter if the video files are on the internal drive or streamed over wlan - same problem...
    i'll tried lots of different software for the video converting: visual hub, handbrake, quicktime pro... always the same problem...
    The strange thing is - all apple trailer movies playback just fine!!! even in HD - smooth as butter...
    Please help me!
    Thanks - Matt
    my setup:
    Apple TV 2.3:
    720p - 60Hz
    TV:
    Samsung Le-40a557p2 LCD-TV
    Sound via optical cable from aTV:
    Sony DAV-IS 50

    Assuming you're using conservative video encoding and not pushing things to the limit, I'd say something is probably amiss with the AppleTV.
    If you were just streaming I'd look at the network first of all, but you say it hapens with synced files too.
    Assuming you've pulled the plug and rebooted at some stage, I think I'd do a system restore (which will delete all media so make sure any purchases are transferred first), and if it was still an issue, then I'd get the new AppleTV replaced.
    Occasional glitches happen but they shouldn't happen all the time.
