ONline Video Stutters/Skips [other programs affected]

HI. ive been having this problem for quite some time now; everytime i watch videos online, the video stutters and or skips. i tried everything, fixed my internet connection, wait for the video to load completely, but the problem is still there. these past few days when it starts stuttering/skipping my other programs do the same thing too.
like for example if i was on itunes i cant access it since the cursor wont even move, and if im on imovie playing a video or something, it stutters as well. i have a feeling it's not just about my safari, it's about my mac in general [i hope not]
ive updated all my flash, safari, EVERYTHING. still the prob persists. i cant watch vids online at all!
pleasseee helllppp meee!!!!
[ps: i sing on youtube, and i use youtube instrumentals as music, and i cant really do that with stutering audio in the background.LOL. just sharin' how important this is to me! hahah]

You don't really give us enough to go on, so I'm not going to swear to this, but sometimes you see this kind of thing with a dying hard-drive, or filesystem corruption. Make a backup of any important data NOW to be on the safe side.

Can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam

I am using skype on win8. It was perfectly fine until last week. This message "can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam" is always there. I investigated this problem in the forum. I did this but it did not help at all. I checked nothing was using webcam! Try to reset skype settings Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit Skype" Click Start >> Run Type: %appdata% Rename folder "Skype" to "Old_Skype" Re-run Skype
I tried some other chatting software and it gives me the same problem. However, the metro app camara is working perfectly fine. I have the latest driver and I also tried another webcam from logitech and it gives the same problem!!!!

Most likely this is one of the registry keys that need to be modified. However, be very careful when you make any changes to your Registry Database. Make always a copy of this data base before making any changes, so you can always revert to the original settings if something will go wrong. The relevant keys are these that refer to Imaging devices. On my system I have 3 such devices: Logitech c920 webcam, LifeCam VX-5000 webcam and CanoScan LiDE 25 Scanner. The last is installed but not currently connected to the computer. You can make a search in your registry database using this item: imaging devices. For all the items I could find on my system, the main key of the type, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00X\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} was looking like this: There is neither LowerFilters nor UpperFilters value defined. You can open the subkeys of the type 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. and see what device they are referring to.

Mouse freezes while using Firefox. No other programs affected. Also in safe mode. Tried reinstall without resolution. Disabled Addons. Happens especially while loading pages but also at other times.

Hi.
The mouse freezes when using firefox. No other programs are causing this problem, which stops immediately once I use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to delete the firefox task.
I have done a full uninstall of firefox after trying safe mode without resolution. I deleted the install directory to make sure that no files remained in the default installation area.

Hmm...that's the last place I'd expect an issue?
EDIT: Wait... if you didn't migrate the first time you booted up the system in Setup Assistant than you may have created another Home folder. Check your /Users in Safe Mode.
Thought twice about cracking open a new MBP, but spent quite a bit of cash fitting SSDs in 2 desktops and a laptop 6 months ago, so didn't feel like coughing up another 600 USD again.
Yes, that what I thought and in concept it's a good idea but I'm actually quite hardware challenged myself, so wouldn't even dream of it
Again, there's a lot of savvy hardware folks here, so I hope you get some concrete help.

Video preview skipping/freezing after a few seconds

Hi All,
I am a new user of Premiere Pro and am having an anoying issue with video stuttering/skipping in the preview windows when editing.
I am trying to edit GoPro footage shot from a Hero 3 Black in 1080p 60fps. The video preview is at 1/2 res and it will play smoothly for about 3 seconds, then start skipping. If I pause the preview for a few seconds and restart, it catches up and plays smooth for 3 more seconds or so, then skips again.
I have tried to convert the raw gopro footage to a premier preset (MPEG-2) using brosoft video converter and have the same problem.
I thought it may be due to hardware limitations with my older PC, but I have upgraded the slowest parts of the system with no luck (the rest of the PC is running like lightening now though).
Here is the current setup:
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
CPU - AMD Phenom X4 9750 - 2.4Ghz Quad core - 64bit - specs: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20X4%209750%20-%20HD9750XAJ4BGH%20(HD9750XAGH BOX).html
Ram - 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz
Motherboard - ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2N68-VM (AM2) (sata II, not sata III compatable)
Graphics - 1535MB GeForce GTX 580 (EVGA)
HDs -
New 256GB Samsung MZ-7PD256 840 Pro Series Solid State Drive (SATA) - System drive
932GB Western Digital WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0 ATA Device (SATA) - Video storage
1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 ATA Device (SATA) - General storage
Is there anything else I should be trying here or is this just a limitation of HD video??? Surely I should be able to preview what I am trying to edit without pausing the footage every 3 seconds? =(.

I have a few other things running at the same time, but I disable network, Antivirus, Media Server apps etc etc (anything thats hungry).
When play skipps I see RAM at about 50-60% useage, CPU below 50 % on all 4 cores. I have notised that the HDD spikes up to 100% at times but then drops off. I have tried running everything off my SSD and seems to make no difference.
When I render a clip, it play perfectly....so seems to just be the preview of the GoPro clips thats causing issues. I will have a play with converting the footage to something smaller/lower quallity, but that defeats the purpose of shooting HD footage.
Another thing I have been notising is that the rendered final clip is rather blury/has some issues with fast moving footage. Any ideas?

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

ITunes stuttering skipping, basically a useless program now

At some point during the last few weeks during the seemingly daily updates now with iTunes, I have noticed iTunes stuttering and skipping at various times. I'm up to version 7.5.0.20.
After a reboot sometimes, I can go an hour, and run many other programs before I get the stutter. Other times, it happens immediately after I reboot. And when it starts, there is NO stopping it unless I reboot. It will frequently, randomly stutter, while I am doing just about anything, but is particularly picky when I am scrolling in web browsers and other windows. These skips and stutters are worse than I've ever experienced with CDs in the last 20+ years. I cannot use iTunes anymore. Right now I have the Quintessential player streaming internet radio. I have scanned these forums, and the internet. I have tried everything I have found (about 7-8 different things) and NOTHING fixes this problem. The only other thing besides updating iTunes that has changed on my computer is that I added a new 500gb hard drive, and I have moved my entire music collection to that drive.
Any help would be appreciated. I listen to music through iTunes every day. I need to have this fixed.

Hum, my friend may have given me a hint as to what may be the problem.
I think that it has to do with Quicktime/iTunes not using my sound card to properly decode mp3s...
I have a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi soundcard. It is able to optimize its work using various modes (Entertainment, Audio Creation, Gaming), and I find that the CPU usage of itunes.exe changes depending on which mode I choose, which orients me to a soundcard driver compatibility problem. In Entertainment mode, it oscillates around 5%, in Audio Creation, around 10%...
I say that it is Quicktime/iTune's issue because all my other music playing programs use 0-1% cpu usage even when playing songs. Also, there had been problems between Quicktime and Creative drivers in the past...

Adobe program for copy-protected online video tutorial?

Which Adobe program should I use to create an online video tutorial that is copy-protected? Thank you

Nothing in Creative Cloud can apply copy-protection to a video. Even a streaming server such as AMS ( Buying guide : Product Comparison | Adobe Media Server family ) cannot stop someone from recording the stream with a screen-grabber as it's playing.

Online Video Playback Jolting/skipping

Sorry if i've posted in the wrong sub-forum, I will move elsewhere if necessary.
My problem is with online video playback, whether on youtube, vimeo, facebook or myspace, it's always the same problem.
The video, even when fully buffered jolts, or skips, the sounds is usually ok [not for vimeo. The video literally stops and starts every 1-3 seconds repeatedly. This makes watching some videos very irritating and i have no clue to avoid it. I've researched it and found nothing.
I use the latest Firefox [3.0.5], and it doesn't seem to be as bad with Safari

I'm afraid this is the wrong sub-forum, but never mind!
It sounds very much like a line speed problem. Even when "fully buffered", the buffers can empty distressingly fast, leaving your playback hiccuping.
There are three approaches that I know of:
1) Have a go at your ISP/telecoms company, and get them to check the line, the ADSL gear, and the speed of your connection (try also with Speedtest or a similar service).
2) Try resetting/restarting your modem and/or router.
3) If nothing can be done to improve the situation, download your videos before watching them (e.g. using RealPlayer Download Manager, or by ctrl-clicking and choosing Download Linked File.
Good luck!

Opening itunes videos in other programs, valid reason honest!

Hi guys, i've been a user of itunes for a hellishly long time now and have just got round to downloading my first episode of Lost on the UK store. However stupidly i forgot that the files are protected.
Now the reason that i would like to play them in other programs is because i am unable to get surround sound from quicktime player or iTunes, however Windows media player does allow me to, but obviously these files don't allow me to play them in WMP
So is there any way that i can get round this, or is it a lost cause.

Sorry, but there's no way around it. Videos purchased from the iTunes Store can only be played in iTunes or QuickTime Player (or of course on an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV). I don't believe that any of the videos are provided with surround sound anyway, though I could be wrong.

I updated my iOS to 7 yesterday. But my music app doesn't show the 'Radio' button as the online videos and Apple website claims. What could be the reason and how to fix it. All other apps, swipe up/down seem to be working fine.

Songs skip BADLY on iTunes w/ other programs

Guys, I just got an iPod recently and so have begun using iTunes instead of windows media player out of neccessity. I have one major problem with it: songs skip very badly when using other programs. This ranges from high performance games to simply surfing the internet with firefox. Basically I can only listen to songs when not using the computer for anything else or suffer the consequences. I cant imagine this happens to everyone or no one would use the software...theres so many times I want to listen to music while doing things. Also, my computer is not slow...I have plenty of memory and processing power so that is not the problem. Windows Media Player had always worked fine for me...what is wrong with iTunes?
PLEASE HELP!!!

moraleclipse,
iTunes uses Quicktime, which uses DirectX/DirectSound for playback.
This article suggests some possible causes of conflict in that process, and steps that can be taken to try and resolve it.

Video Stutters & songs skip

My ipod will stall playing music videos and skip to next song at random points in songs. I tried to restore but that doesnt help. Also, sometimes i get a wierd chip while playing music.
Anyone else having issues like this or a solution?

I believe I found the problem: very long audio files from books on cds
I restored ipod again, and only put one music video on the ipod. The playback was great. So I made sure not to add those long audio files and playback is good as well, no more skipping in middle of tracks.
Hopefully, this will help someone if they encounter a similar situation.

Properties of a PDF that Affect Direct Text Copying to Other Programs?

I am using a program that Acrobat Pro XI does not convert its files to (e.g. word). Therefore, I select & copy sentences from PDFs and paste them into this program. Most of the time, copying special characters like the greek letter psi from a PDF shows up as “Y” when I paste it into the other program. However, there are some PDFs that actually paste psi correctly.
What’s interesting to note is that these different properties are observed in similar PDFs. For example, my professor posted lecture notes as PDFs: notes from lecture 4 allow me to copy&paste all special characters properly, while lecture 7 notes do not, even though they look very similar as documents.
Can anybody think of any properties/settings that may be different between the two PDFs? Even if I cannot fix the problem, at the very least I might be able to predict which ones allow direct copying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: "Y" vs. "Psi" registration is independent of the program I paste into. Word follows the exact same copying trend as my other other program

Not sure why you cannot convert to WORD in AA XI. Just use File>Save As and select the WORD option.
As to the psi, it may be that the font used in one of the files was different and you do not have it on your computer, so the copy used the closest version it could find. You can use ctrl-D to check the fonts in the system. Since you mentioned psi, do not expect the conversion of mathematics to WORD to be done well or at all. It may be the fonts used were from MathType and you would need the MathType fonts on your machine in that case. It would be a lot easier if we could look at the PDFs, but they may not be available for general posting. If you like, you could try a private message and setup to send the files by e-mail to review.

Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
First off my machine:
Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
2 Gig RAM
Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
Observed problem:
Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
The Fix:
Close iTunes 7
Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
Start
Run
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
Exit
Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
Open game, or other program
Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
Good luck!
(resisting urge to type some snarky remark to Apple that somehow their programmers are indeed as human as Microsoft programmers)...oops...sorry about that.

i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them
