Oprah podcasts still pause during playback

Quite a while ago I asked about the weird hesitation during playback of any of the Oprah podcasts, but, although several people reported having the same experience, no one had an answer.
Well....thought I'd bring the subject up again and see if there was any answer to why this is happening, and how to correct it.
Basically, after about 20 minutes into any of the podcasts offered by Oprah's soul series, my iPod will lock up and pause for a while. Nothing can force the iPod out of this mode while it's paused... you just have to wait until, whatever is happening, finishes. As the program progresses, these pauses occur more frequently and the duration of the pause increases as well (sometimes lasting for a minute or longer).
BTW, the podcasts play fine, without hesitations, on iTunes within any Mac...only when played thru an iPod does this occur.
Of course, all other music, and podcasts, play back normally, without pauses.

I've identified two different Oprah Podcast series, I assume you are referring to the *Oprah.com Spirit Channel* (also known as *Oprah's Soul Series* ) with episodes: Kathy Freston from 18th August and Rodger Kamenetz from 26th August, is that correct?
If so, I notice that there are audio-only Podcasts & video Podcasts, so we need to know which episode types are causing the problem, audio, video-small screen or video-large screen. I'm currently downloading (as I write) the episode *Rodger Kamenetz part 1 - small screen* as a test. Are you trying to play the large-screen versions of the videos on your iPod?

  • Has anyone had this issue. I created my song from itunes to garage band, took my iphotos to create a slide show and when I burned to idvd there are several pauses during playback?

    Hi
    SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
    One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
    or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
    (only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut any version
    As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.

  • Intermittent pauses during Playback with Captivate 6

    I am running Adobe Captivate 6.0.0.199... "Non-Quiz" slides intermittently pause during playback, but, only the animated text... the audio continues. This occurs regardless of a variety of export configurations I have tried. Ideas?

    Hello and welcome,
    Please upgrade ASAP to 6.0.1.240. The version you are using has a lot of bugs, that were fixed with this patch released in October 2012 (not a typo - more than one year ago). Go to Help, Updates.
    Maybe you problem will be solved with that update,

  • Camcorder pauses during playback.

    Both my canon video camcorders ( XH G1 and XL H1 ) pauses during playback or capture. Both are a few years old. The tapes I am using are new professtional Quality. Any Ideas?
    While recording everything is fine.

    Mike,
    It will pause after only a few frames. It will then play for a couple of seconds then pauses, this keeps repeating.
    I just noticed this accelerated play then pause a few days ago.
    Months ago it did this but not nearly as frequently. I blamed this early pausing on the tapes I bought, since I was in need of fresh tapes on a job (my pro tapes took a hit and were broken) so I had to buy local Wal Mart tapes to finish the job.
    Luckily I was able to pull enough footage off these to finish the job.
    Since my first post I researched some and read that people were hitting the bottom of their camcorders during play back and this would resolve the pausing. I am not a fan of this solution. I also read in there that someone thought that the rollers or wheels in the camcorder are lose or worn.
    Does the record and playback use the same drive system? If so this should not be the problem since when recording the time code keeps advancing without pausing.

  • IPod pauses during playback, even when Hold is on

    My iPod recently started to pause all by itself during playbacks. The problem has been recurring, sometimes as frequently as a few seconds apart. It stops even when the Hold switch is on. Motion seems to make it worse, although the problem still occurs when the iPod is sitting still. I haven't dropped the device or otherwise subjected it to impact. Please help!!!

    You should restore it.

  • Still capture during playback

    I can capture stills during viewing and recording using MSIPVS by hitting the camera button but during playback of a previousley recorded file the camera button is greyed out and not useable. The help says it should be active any suggestions anyone?
    Thanks

    Thats Right... I had the same issue.   To solve that I installed some DVD Decoders.  At the moment I have the one From NERO, Intervideo and the MSI updated one.  I didn't pay attention as to when my WMM started to work, but the latest one was the Nvidia (MSI) decoder.   I can now actually use WMM to capture which is nice.

  • IPod First Generation sudden pause during playback

    Whn i am playing AIFF files with my 1st generation iPod, it will have a sudden pause in the middle of the playback.
    Angus

    Hi Woody,
    i want you to follow few steps
    1) fully charge the ipod and then see if the symptoms reoccur
    2)if it does, no point in resetting the ipod... instead update the computer with the latest ipod softwarre updater and restore the ipod with it..the contents of the ipod will be deleted you have to redownload them from your computer...now see if the problem reoccurs
    3)if yes then you have to walk in to a nearest apple store maybe your ipod needs a service...no need to jump to conclusion that the ipod isnt working first follow the steps...
    Regards,
    Sam

  • Audio pauses during playback

    Although I can't replicate the problem on my machine my
    client says that a few of the audio clips pause for a few seconds
    then continue.
    It's a glorified Powerpoint presentation with audio talking
    about each slide. Graphics are exported JPEGs from Powerpoint and
    the audio are basic mono 64kbps MP3s that have been imported into
    Director and not externally linked.
    I have a feeling the pauses are because of her computer's
    access to the CD-ROM drive as it looks for the next graphic and
    audio to load. I'm still waiting to hear from her on whether or not
    this problem is replicated on another machine. I have no problem
    with it on mine. Any other thoughts?
    Thanks.

    I do use ZenCast in all of its lackluster, frequently freezing glory.. Are there people on this board who are hired to give excuses...like "Oh it's just the way you are doing it's" Sure seems like it because for every issue or problem posted there is someone there to say it's not the ZVM that's causing it. Not usually a conspiracy theorist but geez, take a look at the threads!
    So if you are using ZenCast to download them, and transfer them, then they are going across as Motion-JPGs. Have you tried just copying over the MP3s to the device, not the Motion-JPGS. I have had some issues with the Motion-JPGs ZenCast creates. I think it has a hard time with VBR sometimes or something. But I find the MP3s play just fine.
    So, do the MP3 files play OK?

  • Why does Prelude keep pausing during playback on ingest from a P2 Card?

    When I am trying to mark my ins and outs on ingest.  The video will not continue playing.  It pauses a second or two after playing.  How can this be fixed?

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Why are my finished DVDs pausing during playback?

    I kind of fell into producing a Dance Recital DVD when my videographer failed to show.  I recorded all footage first then started to play with Pr CS3.  I mixed all dances (recorded on 2 cams) seperately and exported them from Pr as AVIs.  I ended up with 39 seperate movie files which I then manually added to an En CS4 project on a seperate computer.  I added all 39 files as assets into 1 timeline and used the "export to chapter list" feature to make 40 seperate chapters (39 dances + a full show chapter).  I kept the menus as simple as possable with no motion or video.  Due to the total length of the video 2:14:07 I went with DL DVDs.  When I use the preview function everthing looks good, but when I burn it to DVD both the audio and video hang or pause for approximatly 1-2 seconds in 5 seperate dances.  This happens when I play the full show, and when I select the chapters individually.  I have tried to change some of the settings and re-burn the DVD but I get the pauses in the same locations for the same chapters.  I checked the AVI files and they play without the pauses.
    Reading through the fourms I don't really know if its a transcoding problem, a layer-split issue with the duel layer disc, a weak computer, or if Adobe just doesn't like me.  It seems like I've been fighting this entire project begining with CS3 not liking the JVC MOD format, to burning the master discs for replication.  Can someone point me in the right direction as to troubleshooting my pausing issue?
    Since I will be doing another show for X-Mas If anyone has suggestions as far as workflow improvements, I would really appreciate a heads-up in that area too.
    basic Comp stats:
    Celeron [email protected] GHz
    2Gb Ram
    Win 7  64bit

    Could be lots of things.
    used the "export to chapter list" feature to make 40 seperate chapters (39 dances + a full show chapter). 
    Are you referring to "Create Chapter Index"?
    I would create a new project using just one avi that had problems, and see if the problem shows up there.

  • Nano pauses during playback - have to press key to replay

    For no apparent reason, my ipod nano will seemingly pause in the middle of playing EVEN if the HOLD button is activated. It did this CONSTANTLY last night when running with it. Not sure why, but it seems the HOLD button doesn't deactivate the keys properly. I like my Shuffle much better!
    Any ideas?

    This happens to me when I use certain minijacks in the headphone port. If they shift, and come out slightly, the ipod pauses. Could that be it for you?

  • IMovie Project seems to skip and pause very briefly during playback

    I am creating a video montage in iMovie '09, though when viewing the project during playback the video does not play smoothly and seems to skip and pause very briefly while continuing to play. Each clip separately played smoothly prior to its addition into my iMovie project.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    What kind of clips are these?
    Specifically, if you right-click on a clip in the Event Browser and select "Reveal in Finder", then right-click on the clip in the Finder and select "Open with...QuickTime Player, and then hit Command-I in QuickTime Player to open the Inspector Window, what codecs are mentioned next to the word "Format:"?

  • IDVD slideshow DVD pauses video and audio during playback...messages about sleeping DVD player

    I have just burned a slideshow on iDVD from iPhoto book project. During playback, the DVD player pauses with photo visible and audio stops for same time, and then resumes after about 5 seconds. I thought the MP3 (purchased from Amazon because it was not in iTunes) format may have been the issue, so, I converted to AAC, and rebuilt slideshow from scratch using AAC music. During Preview playback, the problem does NOT exhibit...only when played from produced DVD on both computer or DVD player. I only have this one pause at same time on every DVD burned. Is AIFF a probable solution? I saw a message saying DVD player "Sleeping" or "DVD player waked from sleeping" at beginning and end of this pause.

    Whoa!!! I'd back up here and make sure you have your "T" s crossed before your continue with 10,000 discs! What were your bitrates for the main track and Bonus features? Did you use AC3 audio? DVD has a bitrate ceilings of 9.8 for video. Its also important you check your bitrates in a viewer to makes sure your OK.
    Bitrates are the most crucial part to control in DVD.

It happens at ramdom times but happens often, sometimes two or three times a minute. All movies were completly downloaded before playback. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem with purchased video content.
    I am NOT a happy camper right now. I was really looking forward to purchasing a season pass for one of my favorite programs, but not until this is resolved
    I also can't figure out how to play the itunes purchased videos directly in Quicktime. It used to be possible in preferences, but it looks like that feature is missing from this current version.
