Making music videos, QuickTime Pro likes to pause for a second.

I'm making music videos, and some times at the start of the video, or where I add other video to the .mov file, the video likes to pause for 1/4th to a second, then the video like jerks forward to where it should be, while the audio is playing the way it should.
Is there any way to keep this from occuring?
Example (3 megs.)

Your data rate for the video is 4.5 times of what it should be (9240 kbits/s). Try using 2000 kbits/s for the video data rate.
Here are some other factors that can make the video sluggest along with the above:
1) The dimensions of the video is 849x406. The height and width of the video should be divisible by, 16 for best... or 8 for better... or 4 for good. This can effect the encoding (always does) or playback of the video.
Here read this article: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/apps/flvbitrate_calculator/videosizes.html
Even tho the above article is for Flash it also applies to h.264.
2) The audio is mp3, this isn't h.264 complient. AAC audio is... I would change the audio encoding to AAC.
3) And lastly...what program did you use to encode this video with?
I'm glade you supplied a short video. Most people don't. See if next time you can supply at least ten seconds. Thirty second would be the bomb!
I took your video and copy/pasted it to lengthen it to 13 seconds. Encoded with Apple's Compressor...h.264....2000 kbits/s...audio ACC 128 kbits/s... dimensions 848x400

There still is some jerkiness. This is inherent from the footage you supplied.

Chapter markers created in DVD Studio Pro pause for a second on playback.

I have been using the FCP suite for quite some time and we author a lot of DVD's in DVD Studio Pro. We produce many DVD's which require chapter breaks. My problem is that, when the DVD's we produce are played back, on most players the DVD will pause for a second or so on each chapter break/marker. Is there a way to get around this problem? The playback of the DVD's is fine, but the pauses at every chapter break/marker are annoying for us & our clients.

Hi Nat
It sounds like you're setting each chapter marker to end jump to the next. This will cause the pause you describe - if you leave each chapter as 'not set' you should be able to play thru them no problem.
Cheers

If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

Instructions on how to register your QuickTime Pro key can be found in that same document.

ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

Videos and gifs sometime pause for a second, need to tweak performance

I have a high end gaming laptop with 16GB ram, 4th gen i7, SSD hard drive, NVIDIA 770m graphics.
When I have a lot of tabs open, Firefox slows down a lot. Sometime animated gifs pause until I move my mouse, sometimes videos on various sites pause for a second (audio keeps going) and then catches up to the audio. The video issue happens on multiple sites including youtube.
I have updated flash, java, video drivers, windows updates, etc. I have an onboard intel 4600 video card which was being used for firefox. I switched to the NVIDIA card and I still have the same issues.
My computer should have the power to handle what I'm viewing. How can I tweak my settings to allow firefox to use more resources if needed? In task manager it never seems to get above 1GB Ram and 24% processor, yet still looks laggy as if my system is out of resources.
If it's important, I seem to get the same type of lag in regular internet explorer....
thanks

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
Also check for issues caused by extensions.

Still waiting for a solution.

Laptop pauses for few seconds fequently

My laptop pauses for few seconds every 2-3 minutes . And this happens after around 15 minutes use of my laptop. What could be the problem?

Binita,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Could be almost anything:
A program might running 'round in circles and slowing eating up all your memory is one guess.
Your system could be in need of maintenance -- the disk might be badly fragmented: Your files might be spread all over the place -- and in pieces -- and far away from each other. This is relative, of course. The "far away" is tiny distances and the amount of time it takes your computer to gather data is tiny amounts of time -- but it can add up to big delays after awhile -- delays that you notice.
Your computer might just have too many junk files that are "getting in the way" of a clean operation.
Your computer might have little bitty mistakes in the File System that are making it hard for the computer to perform its tasks. Tech speak for File System Errors.
It could be a network problem, although this is something you will have to track. The fact that the issue starts after you have been on the system for awhile means you need to know what you are doing during the slow-down to have an idea what you are looking for. The Task Manager can give you an idea whether the Network traffic is heavy and the Performance Monitor can help track traffic hogs.
Could be your Internet Service Provider dragging down your service -- this is harder to track, this is outside of the purview of this forum, and this is not an HP problem although you will find lots of people swearing that ISP issues come back to the computer being the culprit. If you are streaming, gaming, or using the system for anything that your ISP dislikes, it may put a choke on your service after a specified time.
Could be malware -- This is a different arena and you need to look to your Security Software to see if there are issues there. Run a deep scan to be sure the system is clean.
You might take a look at the following and follow at least some of the suggestions:

Finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause for few seconds

In my iphone6 finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause for few seconds.

Try cleaning the sensor, remove all fingerprints from the settings, and the start over in recognizing prints. There are a number of things that make prints hard to read, sweat, lotion, dirty hands, etc.

Is it usefull to buy Final Cut Pro X for making music video's or not?

Right now I'm using iMovie 11. I can put the audio an the video togheter and stuff but thats kinda it... So if I wan't to use more effects and stuff should I buy this?

I think FCPX is very good for short-form work like music videos, and definitely a big upgrade to iMovie. Additionally, the interface is similar so you'd have less of a learning curve.
There's a ton of hidden power though, and you probably would need to follow some tutorials and/or read instructional material in order to really be able to use the software efficiently, and understand what it has to offer. Many people have given high praise to Ripple Training; there's also some free training available at: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/ that can get your feet wet, so to speak. And I know Mr. Wolsky is working on a book that would be great to have, once it comes out.
At the moment, there are still a bunch of bugs that need to be ironed out, which you can read about on this forum. If you are willing to deal with a beta-quality product that has lots of potential, I'd say go for it. The most important thing to remember is to have a way of backing up your projects so that in the event you are hit with the worst of the bugs, you can still recover work.

I have a music video I would like to convert into music

I have a music "video" which is just plain music with a picture. I would like to convert it to just a sound file for my Ipod.
Can someone give this hopeless noob some pointers?

I don't know the diffs between the QT versions on different platforms and the export option may be a pro feature. I've use QT Pro for all kinds of things. After one upgrades you can't tell which features are Pro so I can't help you there. If you want to just make a smaller video iTunes will let you generate an iPhone or iPod copy of a video which is slightly smaller. Check the right-click menu on a song in the library.
I haven't checked, but I wonder if GarageBand or iMovie would do this as well. Hmm, something for me to do today.

How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does. What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).
