Picture lags behind audio when just watching TV

I just put a machine together with a TV anywhere Master. After many fun hours playing with drivers and PVS versions, reading and searching these forums, It seems to be working great.
Great except one thing, the audio is ahead of the video by about 0.5 seconds. The whole time i was trying buggy software and unstable drivers, this problem was always present.
I'm afraid it might be that the machine is not fast enough. It's a P3 800mhz with 256mb sdram and a geforce3 ti 500. Also, it's running Windows ME, and it needs to stay this way to run other software incompatible with XP.
Any ideas? I've turned up suprisingly little with my searching of these forums and the net in general
I might be able to just use something that could delay the sound for a second, some sort of sound tool for variable delay. Not sure these exist though.
[Update:] I've been experimenting with other TV viewing applications, and the 2 so far i've gotten to work seem to sync fine, but the picture is much more blocky then with MSIPVS.
If the specs for this system are too low, what would you think the minimum CPU/ram I should be using to tune TV is?

Maybe - any chance to check those files on a G4/G5/Intals Mac or a Windows PC? btw. at what speed is your G3 running?

Video Lags Behind Audio in Preview Pane, Timeline and Rendered Video

Hello,
I'm having an issue with a six minute video that I grabbed from the media browser in Premeire and am attempting to use in my timline. The first few mins of the 6 minute video is fine, but as the video progresses in the preview pane the video starts lagging behind and finally towards the end is probably half a second behind. The mp4 file plays fine outside the confines of Premeire. I've tried reloading a new file, etc, but nothing seems to work.
Also, I uploaded another file that works fine. No audio lag. However, the file that works I grabbed from my Kodak flip camera, the file in question is from a Flipcam. The file that works is a .mov. As I mentioned, the file with the lagging audio is an mp4. It seemed to work fine before in other projects. Also, I noticed that lately that Premeire is a bit slow. It wasn't as slow a week ago.
I'm using an iMac with a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 4MB level 3 cache, 1 Terabyte of disk space, 4GB of ram, ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
I'm not sure if there's some setting's that I'm missing or what. I'm not very clear on capture settings when I open a project. When I opened the project I was a little confused about what settings to use.
Thanks very much.
Jim

Sound lags behind video when streaming from itunes to atv 2

I have some of my itunes movies in .mov format on my imac. I convert them so it can be viewed on my new atv 2 using the advanced, "create ipad or apple tv version" option. When I play them the sound starts fine but after a few minutes it starts to lag behind the video. The longer the movie plays, the bigger the gap is between sound and video. After about an hour of playing the sound is about 7 or 8 seconds out of sync with the video. Apple tv is wired to my router which is n/g/b capable and is connected via hdmi and optical sound cable. Watching rented movies from the itunes store or netflix the sound is fine. I tried converting the movies with another program but have the same results. Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this problem? Thank You.

used handbrake and everything is fine.

Audio begins lagging behind video in iTunes; other video works fine

Something that appears to have started after iTunes 10.x as I don't normally play too many videos on the PC from iTunes is regarding video playback in iTunes. The longer a video plays the longer the lag between what's showing up on the screen and the audio portion. If I stop and start the video it starts off synced again and then begins lagging. If I go outside of iTunes I can play other video formats such as wmv, avi, with no trouble, DVD and BluRay playback are not affected. The video files from iTunes play fine on my iPad. I can see no obvious cause for this, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a decent high end PC running Windows 7 64 bit, with a quad core i7 processor, 6 GB of RAM, a terabyte of disk space, and an ATI 4870 HD video card.
Thanks much!
Chris

I'm having the same problem. As I play ted podcast, the video starts lagging behind audio, and the longer I play, the more pronounced the effect. As I pause, video and audio re-synchronize.
iTunes version:10.5.3.3

GPU: gtx 570
RAM: 24GB ecc supp
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate

Let me know if I can provide any information to help you fix this, it is very annoying

No Audio When Export

I'm using Final Cut Express 2.0.2 on an iMac G4 with OS X 10.4.8. I have a two minute film I'm trying to export into an .wmv format to put on the web, and each time the finished project has video but no audio. I've mixdown rendered the audio, I do hear the audio when I watch the clip on FCE (and I get audio levels), I've tried restarting the computer -- I'm not sure what else to do. I've done this a million times before and never had any problem like this. I've looked on help pages, too, but have yet to find anything else I might try.
Help!
i GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

FCE is using Quicktime Pro to export to WMV. And how am I listening to the files -- after I finish the export, I've tried playing the files in both Quicktime and Windows Media player, but I get no sound from the speakers. I've tried plugging in my headphones to see if I could hear the file that way, but no luck.
Thanks very much.

Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in Windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?

Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?
1. I am not sure whether it is the problem of the graphic hardware, relevant softwares or the system itself.
2. I am not sure whether browsing a webpage with a lot pictures would make the graphic hardware, or other hardwares if possible, massively burdened and then just crash.
3. Or if possible, is the reason that the heat dissipation doesn't work well?
I am looking forward to any replies that might be helpful. Really appreciated.

it could be heat, not enough RAM, but you don't tell us enough.
There is no reason to assume this is anything other than running Windows natively btw.
Browser of course matters probably the most.
I like IE10 now, but use to use FF until recently. I'd like Chrome except for a few concerns I have over using it, it can eat up a lot of RAM and it builds up HUGE disk cache if you don't clear history and cache on exit and run CCleaner regularly ( good for all browsers )
So assuming 64-bit and 4GB or more and core i5 or better...
Also make sure Wiindow has 10GB of free space or more.
Biggest concern is what happens afterwards and whether you have run a check of your hard drive (chkdsk on startup) or if the problem cascades and gets progressively worse on top of the first - like do you have to do hard restart or able to bring up Task Mgr and kill or better yet, Resource Mgr and see if you have any thread locks.
Safari is not well versed in multithreading and handling what you want to do and are doing. IE9 isi usually good but I found it could not handle a lot of tumblr photo streams and sites. Try Chrome. With Firefox, use noscript, blashblock and see how it goes.

When trying toedit a text message on my iphone5 the edit bubble will pop up but it is no responsive for about thirty seconds before it will respond to the key functions. It just lags behind. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a fix?

I rarely record automation, and when I do I never do a second pass (usually hand draw automation in) but I have had problems with Logic 7 no longer playing back automation. I've been told its fixed in Logic 8, but in the mean time here is a work around.
Select the region where the automation is (if there is no region, create one using the pencil tool and expand it to cover all automation) and go OPTIONS menu -> TRACK AUTOMATION -> "Move current track data to region data." Now everything should play back as expected. If you want to edit the data, simply select "move current region data to track data" and edit away.
For some reason, Logic 7 will sometimes stop reading track automation data, but I have yet to have it stop reading region automation. This is a bug, and according to other users, has been fixed in Logic 8. Hope this helps until we eventually upgrade

When watching fox news clips the video lags the audio as time progresses

I use firefox as my browser. While on Foxnews I watch their news video's and as time progresses through the video clip, the video lags the audio. It gets worse and worse over time. This happens on msnbc etc.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

Lose audio when watching movies

When I first started using ITunes and I downloaded movies they worked fine, I could watch the whole movie no problems. I think it was after perhaps the fourth movie I downloaded suddenly I started having audio issues. I'd get about 20 minutes into the movie and the audio when cut out and then go out all the way. I'd have to shut down itunes and come back about a half an hour later and I'd get another 20 minutes of the movie and then the audio would go out again. I have to do that thru the whole movie. I've done all the suggestions to fix it.....don't use the enhanced audio, reinstall Quicktime ect but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone have any other suggestions I might be able to try?
Thanks
H.

Same problem with all headphones and earbuds--just checked settings and Volume Limit was already off--starting to think it's a volume system flaw tied to videos and related sound. No problem getting plenty of sound volume for music, only videos.

A very strange thing just happened, I have no audio when watching a YouTube video on my mac, I have audio for everything else?
when I watch it on my mini mac I do have audio
Is there a simple way to fix this?
Thanks

I've seen this happen before, but it's been a while since I've had to deal with it... As I recall there were a few things that could work:
- First of all, I'd probably make sure you're running the latest and greatest version of flash...
- secondly, try repairing permissions in disk utility -- it can help to rectify any number of issues...
- if none of that works, an audio application may have changed your computer's sampling rate to something too high for other applications (like your browser) to use. You can try this:
1) Open “Audio MIDI Setup” (/Applications/Utilities/), and then check the “Audio Output” setting.
2) Change the “Audio Output” setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3) Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
- If none of that works, some audio problems on macs have magically been fixed by opening the program GarageBand, and then closing it.
- Lastly, if all else fails, you could trash the preferences file for flash player.
I hope at least some of these suggestions were helpful--if anyone has any other input and/or thinks these suggestions are off-base, let me know...

I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
I might try a restore and see if it helps...

Hello there, graciecloyd.
The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps to try when an application is not functioning as expected:
iOS: Understanding multitasking
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
Check for app updates.
Force the app to close.
Restart your device.
Update your iOS device.
Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
On Step 2, close all applicaitons that are open. On Step 3, if the restart doesn't help resolve the issue, you may also want to try the Reset step in that article as well.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
