.MP$ Video pauses every 15 seconds

I've been playing movies on my new ipod.
At the start there was an occasional pause followed by video with no audio.
Now, it will start off fine (video and audio) but will pause every 15 sec or so and continue without audio (unless I fast forward or rewind a bit). It's quite annoying when watching a movie.
It seems like something to do with the buffer. ie the buffer runs out and when re-reading the HD, will not get audio.
Has anyone expericened this before?

Are you using the new v1.1 firmware? If so, revert back to 1.0. Alot of 60GB users have experienced the same problem you're describing after upgrading the firmware. Most 30GB models seem fine, so it might be a problem of the new firmware not managing the 60GB's RAM properly (it has a different configuration than the 30GB), as the problem seems to occur when the HD spins up to cache more data.

    buckmacie,
    has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

  • My movie keeps on pausing every 30 seconds

    My movie keeps on pausing every 30 seconds on my 32GB iPod Touch even though i am not doing anything. the movie is Harry Potter 7 Part 2

    Try reseting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Does it play OK in iTunes on the computer?

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Video freezes every few seconds

    My new iPad video playback freezes every few seconds.  I have a decentish Internet speed (2.3MB) and have turned all apps off and even reset.  Any ideas?

    Does it always take a long time to buffer the video?  Can take several minutes for a video of the same length.

  • IMovie HD 6 when "share" to QuickTime video "jerks" every two seconds

    I'm trying to export a 2 minute movie by "sharing" it as QuickTime. I'm doing this for a friend so he can upload it to his YouTube account. I'm exporting using the "expert" settings required by YouTube (see http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=165543). When I open the movie to view it in QuickTime the movie image "jerks" every two seconds and the audio is out of sync with the video. I've never had this problem before. The video plays fine in iMovie HD 6. Any idea what is going on and how I may fix it? I've restarted, shutdown and restarted, "shared" numerous times and still have the same problem.

    I have the exact same problem: iMovie crashes when you try to export. I believe it's the software update, not your virus scanner. Everything was fine with me until I downloaded this wonderful "upgrade" that has caused untold problems (as you can gather from these Discussions). I've just given up on it and purchased different video software. Which just works . . .

  • Why is firefox lagging and pausing every few seconds on mac os x

    I have a brand new iMac running Snow Leopard with 8GBs of RAM. I've been using Firefox 3.6 for a few days and its acting up. Every few seconds it will pause , nothing will move. For example when I'm scrolling, typing, clicking on something. A few seconds will go by until it finally will respond to my input.
    I read somewhere else that if you go the the firefox profiles folder and delete sessionstore.js should solve the problem. So I quit firefox and delete that file. And it will be normal for several hour or a day. After a lot of use the same problem happens.
    Please anyone, if you know what the problem could be, please help. It's super annoying.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you, tklaus!
    This issue has been driving me nuts for months, ever since I upgraded from 3.* (I don't update very often). Thinking it was just a bug in the latest version, I updated all the way to the current 'latest version', with absolutely no change in this behaviour (if anything it got worse). Tried disabling all addons, it was a *bit* better but still noticeable and irritating, and besides, what use is FF without addons?
    Adjusting the session save interval to once an hour (3600000) seems to have reduced or eliminated *most* of the hang-ups, making FF much more usable again! Thank you for giving me my browser back!
    (FYI, FF 5.0 running on XP - told you I don't update very often! :)

  • DVD player pauses every few seconds?!

    Just upgraded my PowerBook to Leopard. I've heard of a few problems with DVD player, but not this one-- approximately every 8 seconds, the DVD player pauses. Not freezes or hangs, but goes into Pause mode, as if I'd clicked the Pause button. Even happens while fast forwarding or rewinding!
    Anyone else seen this, or have any suggestions (other than using VLC?!)

    If you've had it less tha 90 days, contact Apple support. If you have Applecare, you can talk with them for up to 3 years, but hopefully that's not needed. In the US call 800-275-2273.

  • Why do streaming movies pause every 3 seconds?

    I just tried to watch a movie streamed to my PC from Netflix. The movie picture pauses about every 3 seconds then continues while the sound does not stop. I have a fast internet connection, cable. I watched something about a month ago without this problem.
    Could the Netflix network be getting overrun?

  • Flash Player pauses every 5 seconds will not any play video through

    I had this problem a few weeks ago and I fixed it by resetting IE8 and now it's doing the same thing again after another flash player update.   I have uninstalled and reinstalled both flash and IE8, gone back to IE7 then back again, tried every thing I can think of.  This is driving me crazy!! There has got to be someone out there that can help

    frenchy5370,
    is Sky provided by cable or by satellite? If it’s by cable, then every Sky subscriber in your immediate neighborhood is sharing  the pipe which Sky provides. (That is, it wouldn’t be a matter of how many devices are behind your firewall.)

  • ITunes U video stops every 30 seconds

    Do you guys experience this problem after upgrading to iOS 5?

    Dave, the problem is the upgrade that just came out. It's doing that to a lot (if not all) iPods. The video will play for about 30 seconds, pause, and then resume without sound. Someone said that if you pause the video before it freezes, slide the hold button over for a few seconds, and then slide it back, the video will play fine. I personally recommend that you downgrade your firmware since The new update also has issues with the backlight. Just search the forum for instructions on how to do so. I've posted them up myself.

  • Skype keeps hanging the video/audio every few seconds why?

    I daily speak to my disabled son in his hospice some miles away.
    I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a mid2012 rMBP using the latest version of Skype.
    He is running the same OS and Skype on an iMac.
    For many weeks we have been suffering from repeated hangs of video/audio during the conversation, this happens about every 5-10 seconds and lasts about 5-10 seconds.  As you can imagine this is very frustrating.  Before you say it I have tried FaceTime and that is even worse.
    Now today after screaming at my ISP last night and at their suggestion I turned off my Firewall during the conversation and lo and behold the hanging stopped.  Switching it back on during the conversation the call remained stable without hanging - v.strange.
    Now I then dropped the call switched off the firewall and recalled - the hanging continued.
    Additionally I notice that the Video changes from 4:5 to 16:9 and back again regularly and I think this is due to a poor connection but my end has had no errors and runs at 78Mb/s down with 16Mb/s up (sons is 35 down 16 up - no knowledge of error situation).
    The firewall is of real interest since there appears to be many reports of issues with Skype and Mavericks.
    Anyone got any suggestions?  (I have replaced Skype without

    Ever since Microsoft bought Skype I have been experience more and more issues like this. I used Skype to keep in touch with my family in Europe and for the past year or so Skype got so bad that I am slowly switching to Viber and  FaceTime, depending on is available to the people I talk to. Even when I talk to friends in US abour 3 hours away I still prefer Facetime over Skype.
    if you tried FaceTime and it didn't work for you, I am not sure what else you could try. if you don't need video, just try Viber.

  • Burned Playlist to cd, but when played in car songs pause every 8 seconds.

    Recently I burned my playlist to cd.
    The burning process went fine, it spanned 3 cd's.
    When I put them into my car stereo to play them, the songs
    will start playing then there will be a pause for about 2 seconds then start playing again, then pause after about 8 seconds, then start playing again etc. etc.
    So, I tried burning the cd's again, this time with different
    brand of media cd's, put them in my car to play, but again the same problem.
    I burned several cd's a week ago that play fine in my car.
    Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

    I know this is pretty basic, but you might want to try lowering your burning speed.
    Go to "Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Burning".
    Switch your burning speed to something like 12x, or maybe 8x.
    Then, try the burning process again, and see if it's sucessful or not.
    (It might be a good idea to not have very many other programs running when you burn the playlist).

  • Songs are pausing several times(pausing every few seconds in a song) while playing in iTunes in mac what to do??

    while playing a song in itunes on my mac each song pauses atleast twice or thrice in a minute. what to do please guide.

    first the mac started acting slow and eventually the itunes started pausing.
    This does not look like an iTunes problem. I'll ask the hosts to move this to the Lion forum.
    Check, if the problem is system wide or only happens when working from your user account. Try to use iTunes logged in as a different user. Do you get a better performance?
    What model of Mac are you using? How much RAM does the mac have?
    Have a look at the second half of this document, if anything applies to your situation:
