Not working properly - - Delay in Video/No audio

Ok so I have a JVC GRDV500 camcorder. I tried to hook the camera up via firewire to chat on iChat with it. However, when I tried to conferences with someone, the video was very slow. It was almost delayed by about 5 seconds. The audio was very terrible as well, and it kept cutting in and out. There is a built in microphone on the camera that should work.
Anyone know a reason as to why the performance is so bad? I would really like to video chat!

Hi,
Umm Bermuda.
Ok Start with.
If anyone is on 10.5.x then go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming at set the drop down to 1.5Mbps and restart iChat (so it "Sees" the new speed)
On Snow Leopard and Leopard computers go to iChat > Preferences > Video Section and set the Bandwidth to 500kbps as a starting point.
If this in itself does nor sort the issue the slowest Buddy (Internet Connection) should drop their's to 200kbps - This is on the iChat Limit in a 3 or 4 way chat as the Specs say 384k
It is worth while having the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) open for this.
Also try changing who is Host.
Ideally it should be the one with the fastest Internet connection.
I have a vague feeling about Bermuda or one of the other small islands where the Local telephone company had become the default ISP - and in the day of iChat 3 where effectively blocking iChat by blocking the SIP Ports (Vonage and other VoIP adapters) that "lost" them Long Distance Telephone connection monies.
The thread about that was some time ago.
It maybe that they cannot support Video chats (Or lots of Off island Video Chats and On-line gaming) due to the ISP's own data rate to the "Main land".
Does it become apparent when you join the chat ?
Or does it not matter who hosts and who joins last ?

    Hi,
    This is defenitely strange - if you click on the "Login" link, you should be prompted for the plain vanilla SSO Username & Password. I have faced this problem infrequently only in Netscape 7.1.
    Did you try clearing the Browser Cache ? Which is the browser you are using ?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
    According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
    Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
    Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.

  • Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

    Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

    Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
    Many thanks.

  • HT201210 AUDIO NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLED IOS7

    After installed ios 7
    photos not able to see fully
    audio not working properly.... [no treble, no depth in sound, very low soung even the volume is full]
    get strucks while playing games

    This board is full of people that are update crazy...
    even when they have perfectly good working systems.
    i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
    Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
    firewire devices.
    will take note of that from now on.
    Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
    running the update again with all firewire devices
    unplugged.
    While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
    reset
    again.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    -Press the Setup knob
    -Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    -Press the Select knob
    -Press the Value knob
    -Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
    back
    in
    -Power the interface back on
    i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
    After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
    see if that doesn't get you going.
    pancenter-
    cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.

  • MSI 865PE NEO FISR2 Audio not working properly

    The audio on my board is not working properly.  I have it set for 6 channel and am using Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 Speakers that have 3 inputs that match the 3 output jacks on the mobo.  However, its just not right.  It is sending anything to all 5.1 speakers and also to the proper speaker at same time.  So every sound is coming through all speakers and it a tad louder on the speaker it should be coming out on.  Anyone else have any clue as to what setting I can change to correct this or is this something wrong with the cmedia drivers?

    The answer to all your suggestions is yes, already did it and in the demo app the sounds work fine.  Its just so odd, I may just go to Circuit City tomorrow and buy another set of speakers and see if it is possibly them that are causing the issue.  Then if so, I'll just return the Creative Labs ones as I just bought them 2 weeks ago and CC has great return policy
    Actually, one of your questions I did not either understand what you meant or did not see the option Quote
    Did you enable the output port correctly - LR to LR, surround to surround, center/lfe to center/lfe
     The only thing I see is setting phones, 2, 4 or 6 channel in the cmedia control panel and then I plugged in the proper cables.

  • Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

    i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it  came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
    i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
    2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

    Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

  • My laptop speakers are not working properly so wanted to visit service centers of hp in london

    from yesterday night my laptop HP pavilion g6 speakers are not working properly. out of many only one speaker is working so i want to visit authorized service centers so that i can fix the issue.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp5646​0.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if this has had any effect on the audio issue.
