Jerky, Stop start playback

I have recently bought a Samsung Flashcam SMX-F300. I have taken some footage and played it back in WMP and it is fine but when I import the videos in to Premiere Elements 8 they do not play properly. It starts to play then plays jerlikily and then the video stops and the audio continues.
I am using MP4 format and I have a 3Ghz processor, a 320GB hard drive with 200GB space and 2GB of RAM.
How can I fix this so that I can edit and watch my videos?

We'll need to know more about your footage, project settings and your computer. The 'got a problem' link below explains what's needed.
What project preset did you select when starting the project? Does it match your MP4 setting? Use the utility GSpot v2.70a to analyse your clip and post a screen capture here.
Do you have a red line toward the top of the Timeline? If so your previews need rendering - press [Enter] and wait for the line to go green.
For starters look at:
How can I convert my AVCHD footage to more traditional HDV?
What tools can I use to convert my video to DV-AVI?
Got a Problem? How to Get Started
Also some basics:
Install all Windows updates
Install latest version of QuickTime (v7.6.7 at time of writing)
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites
Run Disk Cleanup
Run Defragmenter

  • Itunes on my Windows XP after downloading ver. 10.5, starts & stops during playback

    Yesterday I upgraded my itunes to 10.5. At first I couldn't upgrade because the old version wouldn't delete the old version to install 10.5. After much help from Dell, we finally got 10.5 to install but it stops & starts during playback several times during a song. How do I fix this?

    The error message I receive does not identify the file or feature. I have tried to uninstall iTunes through Control Panel, but that also results in a similar error message.
    If you're getting sschap's message when uninstalling iTunes, that usually narrows things down to trouble with the iTunes.msi.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Stinking up the iPhone: auto-start and/or auto-stop iTunes playback

    The feature to auto-start and/or auto-stop iTunes playback is a disaster. A good idea poorly implemented perhaps, or maybe not possible to implement well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a setting to turn this off! MANY MANY ENTRIES ACROSS MANY FORUMS! (e.g. Apple Discussions messageID=9937311) I will consider switching to another smartphone for this reason alone, it's that big a nuisance.

  • Start playback and sync - MS stopped !

    Hi.
    What i have:
    AXIOM mark2 61
    1. "play" button mapped to "Tape" -> "Playback" -> "Transport" -> "Play From Start"  Playback plug-in
    2. also same "play" button mapped to  "Actions" -> "Play"
    Today we start to play and some bug occured - 5 or 6 times music start to playing and then immediately  stopped (it occur after mapping "2" - and was never before) is a half seconds of sound and then stop. But after 7 press - is started ok, and all other tries was good...
    What i do wrong ? I need "Actions" -> "Play" for syncing. Only after "Actions"->"Play" all synthesisers get proper syncing with song start.. But now we sometimes get that bug :/
    What wrong ?

    Hi
    The basic issue here is that starting the Mainstage clock resets the audio engine, often resulting in glitches etc.
    I would simply start the MS clock and leave it running, then trigger Playback from your controller as and when you need.
    If you absolutely need MS clock to be completely in sync with Playback and any sync'd synths and fx, I would probably use two buttons (one starting MS Clock, the other Playbacks) and have the PB's set to play in sync with MS Clock (Bar), then start them 1 bar after I'd started MS Clock.

  • After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

    After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

    I may have found an answer here:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
    They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

  • ITunes stops during playback and won't start until I restart the computer

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I just reformated my computer and placed all the updates and programs back onto my computer. I had iTunes on my computer before and I reinstalled it then upgraded it to version 7.3.2.6. Now I've been reintroducing music back into the library on a folder by folder method (drag and drop). Anyway, during review of the songs I will get a random issue where the iTunes just stops during playback. I have shut down the program and restarted it. I've also shut down the following programs at different times to see if it would help:
    iPodService, ITunes.exe (the program), iTunesHelper, and even taskmgr.exe. Nothing seems to help. When I restart the program I click on play (any song or playlist) and nothing happens. The only thing that I have found to help is rebooting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
    I've check the event logs and nothing is showing in there and other programs are working without an issues.
    Please help!

    Any suggestions on what this can be?
    A dead battery.  Buy a new one.

    It stops then after several seconds (like 25 secs) then it starts again ... and then several seconds later it stops again!

  • IPhone: Sending stop/start to MPMoviePlayerController restarts the movie

    The class reference for the "play" method of MPMoviePlayerController says, " If you stop a movie before it finishes, using the stop method, invoking this method again resumes playing it from the beginning of the movie."
    But when I run this code, which uses a timer to start and stop the movie, the movie always starts from the beginning again when the play method is called from the timer.
    self.videoPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:_movieURL];
    iVideoPlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
    iVideoPlayer.userCanShowTransportControls = NO;
    [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5 target:self selector:@selector(startStopTimer:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
    iIsPlaying = TRUE;
    [iVideoPlayer play];
    - (void)startStopTimer:(NSTimer*) aTimer
    if (iIsPlaying)
    NSLog(@"Received a timeout, stopping video playback");
    [iVideoPlayer stop];
    iIsPlaying = FALSE;
    else
    NSLog(@"Received a timeout, starting video playback");
    [iVideoPlayer play];
    iIsPlaying = TRUE;

    I think it's a documentation error. MPMoviePlayerController.h has this:
    // If visible, stops playback and then hides the player. Calling play again will start movie at beginning.
    - (void)stop;

  • Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

    I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
    I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
    Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
    Some vitals:
    - I'm using Flash Pro CS5
    - To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
    - To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
    1) swf file containing the FLV component
    2) the swf file related to skin
    3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
    - Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

    Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.
    adninjastrator wrote:
    Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
    What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait.  Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file. 
    When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
    When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
    Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
    Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
    http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
    To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
    Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
    Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server. 
    It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
    It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
    It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
    Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved...  browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.  

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

    You can remove "this" (display of the Up Next list) by going to View > Hide Up Next in iTunes' menu.

    No.  It would simply remove them from the Up Next list.
