Lagging... Not running video smoothly anymore.

I have an iBook G4 running 10.5.6 with 1.5GB of ram and a 160GB hard drive...
So here's the problem... Recently I've had trouble with programs lagging for several seconds before responding or taking a long time to start up. Also, video is no longer running smoothly for me. Even quicktime videos and other movie files saved to my hard drive are jerky. I did some spring cleaning and I now have 11GB of free space but that didn't seem to help. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could check or change in order to get things running smoothly again? Is it possibly a virus?
I did check the S.M.A.R.T. status on my hard drive and it says "verified."

Here's some things to try, in addition to S.U.'s suggestions.
1) Play the videos while logged in as another user
2) purchase/borrow an external cooling pad and have that running under your computer while working
3) play the videos using another player--I like VLC, personally.
How old is your iBook? How old is the hard drive?

Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1 does not run Videos anymore

Hi all,
having upgraded to 2.1.1.1 my "Photos" page would not show my videos anymore.
The thumbnails are there (both for video and photos), also I can press play and the video seems to run (at least the progress bar does...).
Pressing pause updates the video frame, however upon resume the frame remains unchanged.
Worked well on the versions before....
Any thoughts ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
This is great news. I am glad you got the system working again.
Unfortunately we have not encountered this sort of issue before and therefore the actual troubleshooting was really hard. I apology all the inconvenience this caused to you.
The team will continue following this case and if any similar indications are seen this case shall be used for reference. We will also re-check our installation procedure to make sure it is not causing such misbehaving.

Mail.app 2.1.3 not handling video attachments anymore

Hello,
About 2 weeks ago, Mail.app (v. 2.1.3) started this behavior:
When "Sharing" video clips in QuickTime Pro 7.5 ( .mov or .wmv files) and selecting "Large" (or "Medium") - the file attached to the email is always "Small." Have tried Sharing the same clips several times - each time selecting (mostly Large) and always get "Small."
I thought of trying deletion of Mail plist but am unsure (thought it might cause a serious loss of such things as contacts list or of Inbox data base).
Wondering if anyone can give me suggestions on how to get Mail to "obey" my file size selections for "Shared" video files?

BDAqua,
I'm back! Well, I spent considerable time earlier (now yesterday in my area) to ensure I would follow your suggested fixes w/o mishap. But as often happens - there were a few side tracks on the way.
The result is: +I have not tried+ any of your suggestions because (on nothing but a hunch) I tried again to "Share" from QuickTime a movie file as (in succession) Large - Medium - Small. This "series" produced exactly the sizes of (.mov) file I had selected. Both the outgoing email attachments and the "return" emails were of the "predicted size" and played back accordingly on the return email.
Interesting (and mysterious): Before I tried the above (three in all) Sharing attempts, I happened to check my Trash folder and saw the following items had been deposited there (with absolutely no effort or actions on my part!):
In a "Recovered Items" folder in Trash:
1. a folder named: "com.apple.mail"- empty (zero items).
2. a folder named: "com.apple.mail.drag" - contained 1 item, a .gif file.
3. a folder named: "tempemail_folder11360585" - contained 1 item, a .jpg file (one of four I had attached to an email on August 8!)
This is strange, I had not even gotten around to backing up Mail.app files as we discussed.
They were not there (in Trash) earlier in the day - I am editing photos and video all the time and often check my Trash folder before closing each project - just to make sure I haven't trashed any essentential items.
Possibility: I had not mentioned because I had not thought of it until getting back to the trouble-shooting, I have a cloned boot drive on my Mac Pro. I decided to try this same QT Sharing with Mail.app _on the cloned drive_ to see if the same problem existed "there." It did not.
But - (again we have so many possible side-tracks with these computers!) - I had reason to run Software Update on the cloned drive (because it was still running 10.4.9 vs 10.4.11 on my boot drive). It was after this system upgrade on the clone drive that I checked the Trash on the boot drive and found the mysterious Mail.app Folders. (There were other items in Trash: most of them expected because I put them there!)
Anyway - the problem with getting the chosen size "shared" movie files on emails created in Mail.app is apparently gone, solved itself. I'm almost sorry I didn't get to trouble-shoot this so I'd know what the original cause was.
Thanks anyway for your help - it was appreciated.

MacBook will not run PowerPC apps anymore

Recently, I have noticed that none of my PowerPC applications want to start up. I started noticing this after I tried downloading the latest quicktime updater. The updater downloaded, but could not install. Before the updater was installed, I had Quicktime using Flip4Mac by turning on Rosetta for installer, installing Flip4Mac, turning off Rosetta for installer, and then turning on Rosetta for QT. Everything went smooth, WMVs played great, but then QT wouldn't start after I downloaded the QT updater. I had to turn off Rosetta for QT, and since then no PPC apps will work, and QT will not play WMVs. How do I get PPC apps to work again?? Thank you, I appreciate any help!

Thanks for the replies. When I mean PPC apps don't work, I mean, nothing, Google Earth, Limewire, Word, Powerpoint, etc. Only Intel based apps work. Sorry I wasn't so thorough about explaining my problem, it was late and I was frustrated. I also forgot to mention that I have Boot Camp running with XP. This might be a separate issue, but I tried switching to it two nights ago, and XP would not start up. Anyway, I tried Disk Utility, and it did not fix it, but I did not restart either, So, I'll try that. Again thanks for the help and the quick replies!

Techtool deluxe on osx lion does not run video ram test

I ran Techtool Deluxe after having installed OS X Lion. When it gets to the Video Ram test it quits. If I disable this test all is fine. What's wrong with testing video ram on OSX Lion?
Thanks.

Same problem. I've been having a lot of weird issues ever since Lion. Safari has crashed about ten times in the last two days and my mac keeps logging off all by its self. It seems that Techtool Deluxe and Lion don't go well together...when it starts it says that it hasn't been tested with Lion, and they no longer include it with AppleCare, so it seems that apple has discontinued the application. I'd say that from here on out, Techtool Deluxe will simply be a memory of the past...so probably just don't use it anymore.

Long story I was using playonlinux and had space only on the / partition. playonlinux is not very flexible with the install path (~) and I was lazy. I also thought I would avoid permission problems.
Anyway, I have tried as a user too, I get the same error.

Unlocked Iphone will not run any apps anymore

Yesterday Apple unlocked my Iphone.
Since this time no app will run any more.
Please Help
I already tried a reset/restore via iTunes
I tried deleting a app from both iTunes and Iphone and the downloading it again.

Ah, missed that you are on a mac.
Try this:
Launch disk utility, select your hard drive and select "repair permissions". When finished, reboot your computer, launch isync, select reset sync history. Launch itunes, connect your phone, sync. When finished, disconnect your phone & see it this fixes the problem.

I need to increase my FMS buffer size for display video smoothly

I need to increase my buffer size in FMS.
Please let me know form where i would be increase my FMS buffer size.
My video is running from RTMP and i faces the problem to load. video stalled between the running. so i need to increase buffer size for running video smoothly.
Please reply me as soon as possible so i can resoled my problem.
Thanks in advance.....

Hi,
You can increase the buffer size by using the property bufferTime of NetStream Object you are using. For eg: if ns is your NetStream Object then it can be done by ns.bufferTime=<desired value>.
Also you can go through this

PPro CC, some video frames do not run smoothly

I am running Window 7 and using a Canon 5D II to run short movie clips. I have NVIDIA card and when creating a video some of the frames (clips) do not run smoothly. I am very new to Premiere Pro so I need simple explanation of what could be wrong. Thank you for helping me!!

Hi there,
why should someone tell you what to do? You already posted the resolution (maybe without knowing it)
> Wenn I install windows clean again and then play this video then he wil work properly, after i install word,exel,my printer,virusdriver and so on, then the video will not work anymore smootly.
So, if you install applications, then usually the system performances drops, due to freshly installed services, tools in the systemtray or background applications which all is coming with that stuff
(word,exel,my printer,virusdriver) you mentioned.
So in my honest opinion, I suggest you reinstalling your system, and then do the following:
install at first ONE application (e.g. office) and try to play your video. Should the video run smoothly then continue installing the next software (like anti-virus) and check it again.
If the video runs smoothly after every new installed software, continue installing the next one.
But if you recognize, that the video begins running with stuttering and slower speed, then the last application youve installed is the software which uses too much system resources.
If you find out which application causes the video running not so smoothly, then try to find an alternative software which does not need so much system-power from your computer.

Videos do not run smoothly but audio does and I get a scripts message

When I try to watch a video from a certain site it is jumpy and does not run smoothly although the audio does. I get a message about scripts but so not know what to do.

IDVD output video is not running smooth

Hello, I am having a problem with IDVD.
When I burn or just safe the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders on the HDD, the result is bad.
Any video on the DVD is not running smooth, like when it is played on the computer.
I have a MBP with a. 2.2 core duo, and it should have enough horsepowers for the task.
The DVD-menu is running as it should, but the video is bad, though the original quality is fine.
What can I do?
Bjørn Sørensen

The settings are PAL, as it is for European dvd-players, and the problem seems to be that Imovie exports m4v files, which iDVD needs to convert "do not know why?" into mp4 or something similar, this causes the video to run improperly, "lacking" where it was supposed to run smooth. I do nok know what to do about this. Visual hub does the exact same thing to the video.

Premiere CS6 not running smoothly.

Alright all, I'm stumped. I was running Premiere CS6 via the Cloud membership, everything was going perfectly, I had started new projects and even transferred one over I was using in CS5.5 and had no problems. Then suddenly, my CS6 is not running smoothly. The footage lags, the timecode for the timeline isn't smooth, and the program in general is a little rough. But the sound plays perfect with any footage in the timeline. I pull the same footage back in 5.5 and it works flawlessly. Cleaned the Cache, deleted and reinstalled CS6 and ran all updates, still having the same problem. Any ideas?

>have 1 500gb SATA drive, but I also use a variety of External HD as a scratch
eSata or USB or ??? externals?
Slow external drives can cause problems... also only having one internal hard drive
Some reading...
My 3 hard drives for AVCHD video editing are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
(1) for faster input/output with 4 drives
- use drive 3 for all source files
- use drive 4 for all output files
(2) only 60Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file
http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
I do not use RAID... AVCHD is CPU intensive, not drive intensive like uncompressed, so I have no problems editing without RAID (but, this is for "simple" home videos)

Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything

Videobackground in menu not running smoothly

I created 3 menus with a video as background. (rendered QT in AE)
in one menu the video is running not smooth and even jump or stops.
What can I do ? Are there this I need to avoid ?
Thanks for your help.

I would check the Flash/SWF code to see if it requires any special events to be sent.
