Playback progessively getitng slower and slower

When I first played with Premiere, it could read the footage from my canon T2i like a charm, no herky-jerky playback, no waiting for the "play" button to refresh everytime I shuttled (both in the source monitor and program). After using for only a couple months, the playback became impossible, to a point where today I deleted the program and reuploaded it. Now, it's back to working seamlessly! I don't want this to happen again, and I searched the forums to no avail, so I am asking ya'll. Before the delete, I trashed my prefs, tried everything I could google, nothing worked. I have a i5 but it's not my system, because the progrma works fine form the get go... but steadily gets slower and slower. I hope htis doesn't become another bloating forum, because I deleted everything and it was still slow. Help!!!

DSH,
I assume since you said that you "trashed prefs" you are on a mac. There is another thing in my experience that will bring performance down to a crawl and that is media cache files and media cache database files. If you never go in and empty those it will (or at least on all the ppro stations I have worked on in the past) over time bring ppro to a crawl. Go into ppro's preferences go to media and there you will see media cache files, and media cache database. you will see the file path for each. Go through the finder to that folder and empty it. Ppro will have to make new ones for the active projects that you are working on, but it will get rid of all of the ones that are still there bogging down your system from old projects.
Also, if you have an external HDD, you can put project files on your system drive, and then media and scratches on your external. Not the best setup to have only 2 drives, but it might work for small lower res proj. You said it ran seamlessly before, so obviously it has worked for your particular workflow in the past.
Try that.....lemme know what ya come up with.

Itunes 9 – Backup doesn't function, Video playback is now slow, Requires a

TOPIC: iTunes 9 – Backup doesn't function, Video playback is now slow, Requires a reboot to find the super drive when changing CDs or DVDs.
iTunes 9 has been difficult to say the least. We have a very large Video and TV library, backups are critical. When starting a backup to disc, we put in the blank DVD and the software reports that it will take XX (39 in this case) discs. After the first DVD ejects and the second blank is inserted, iTunes hangs.
Second: Watching programs on hulu.com the video drops frames and a very jerky playback experience sometimes including audio. iTunes 9 now works the same way, gone are the smooth video and audio. An authorized computer in our house can no longer play back any movies or TV that are located on the MacMini.
Third and most disturbing: Since the iTunes 9 upgrade, when listening to a CD on the Apple and it completes, if you want to listen to another one – it requires a Restart of the computer. It no longer knows that there is a super drive attached to the computer. After the restart, it works just fine for one use, CD or DVD and then you must restart to listen or watch another one. Using the super drive for data or programs works correctly and no problems experienced.
I want to be clear - none of these problems were happening before the forced upgrade to iTunes 9. After reading several posts, I don't want to sync my iPod Classic (80GB) for fear of what it will do to it.
The above is happening on a MacMini, G4 PPC, 1GB RAM, 80GB internal, 2 Terabyte external, OS-X 10.4 fully patched for operating system and applications.
We need to know when the 9.1 bug fix will be released? As long as it took to convert our library to 9.0, we don't want to try and back convert to version 8.x. In our case that would take feeding 221 backup DVDs and repurchase of several 9.0 only, episodes.
WE need the bug fix and fast!

I am running iTunes9 on WinXP, and I also cannot get it to back up. It either hangs on the "initializing" phase, or it thinks that my blank disks aren't blank and keeps spitting them out.
Also, I've brought this up before, by why MUST we back up to DVD? Why can't we backup to a folder location (such as network share or external HD)? DVD backup is slow, problematic, and wasteful. Especially if it fails, and you need to throw out the disks it's already burned, and will not resume where it left off before the failure.
For a company that's usually known for its design and "it just works" philosophy, how can you keep making such a broken, buggy product? Here's a thought, before cramming more crap into iTunes, let's just get it working as advertised for once? That would be nice.

You'll need to transcode teh H.264 to a more stable and useful editing codec. It's in the manuals and we see several H.264 questions every day around here so it's pretty easy to research.

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

Youtube playback problems, Video freezes and audio jumps back..

Hello,
since a few weeks I have a strange problems when I am watching videos on youtube. At the beginning the playback works fine, audio and video.. but then the video freezes, and at the same time the audio jumps back for few seconds... when then the audio is again at the same time position where the video freezes, the video continues normal... this happens about 1-4x times per video.
I have already uninstalled the flashplayer, updated to the neweset version and also resetted the complete safari browser. All of this does not solve the problem...
Looking forward to any helping idea.. THANKS!!

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

I have Windows 8.1 and just bought the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for windows and it won't install. I currently have Quicktime Pro.

I need to run Quicktime Pro and playback DVD with mpeg-2 content for school. I just downloaded Quicktime Pro, and purchased the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for Windows, but I can't download it at all. Is this because my PC is running Windows 8.1?
If so, is there anything I can do?

What do I do?
You actually have several options. However, since you specifically want to use it it with MPEG Streamclip, the easiest approach would be to download the MPEG Streamclip "Beta" package for the Mac which includes a utility app that will help install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component on Lion and later operating systems. Instructions and background info can be found HERE under the "Lion/Mountain Lion and MPEG-2 Playback Component" tab.

Record and playback video in slow motion

Hi
I am COMPLETELY new to labview and am having some trouble.
I would like to record a video using a USB camera and be able to play it back on multiple occasions at different speeds.
The file attached is what I have so far. The signal generated at the top is controlling the equipment I am recording. Currently, I am saving the video to the hard drive in AVI format and retreiving it to watch again. However I would like to be able to play this at different speeds and be able to pause/rewind. Is this possible? I would also prefer not to have to save and retreive the file and much prefer it to stay within the system memory.
Thanks in Advance
Alex

Hi!
In your program you set the "frames per second" input on the "Init AVI" Vi to 50. If your camera is set up to acquire 50 frames/sec this is ok. But your "playback" loop will (as it is) run at much higher rate, since it is not limited in speed. You need to control the playback rate with a delay function (maybe the Wait (ms)-vi). If the acq-rate is 50Hz, you need to limit the playback loop to 50 iterations per sec -> 20ms delay.
Set the delay to a lower value for a faster playback, or higher value for slow motion playback.
If you decide to use the AVI-vi:s you need to associate the video with a file. You can however keep the frames in memory by simply create an array of images and write to them instead of to the AVI-file. Modify your code like this:
1) Create an array of IMAQ-images, Note that you need diffrent images on each index in the array.
2) In your acqure-loop. Instead of writing to the AVI-file, write to the array at index "i". Note that you must modify this image, so retreive the image-ref at array index "i", then modify it by writing to it, the put the image-ref back in the array.
3) In your playback loop.Read image-ref to display from the array by index "i".
Done

Record playback is very slow between Flash Server and Flash

hi all
I have done server side recording successfully with red5 flash media server and can see
that the flv record is being created properly.
Then if I try to playback the record like
NetStream.play("record.flv"), I see that stream playing is very very
slow, for both of audio and video.
And then if I try to playback the recorded file via using the
filesystem path of it, everthing seems fine.
Problem occurs when I try to sucscribe and play the stream of the record.
PS : There is no problem with playing the published stream
(NetStream.play("streamName"))
Does anyone have an idea about this issue?
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Hello Fabio,
Just for confirmation.
Is the Integration Services is updated on all VMs on that particular host? IC version.
Could you please compare the vNIC properties/advanced between the functioning VM and the slowest VM network?
All VMs have one vNIC or more than one?
How are you copying out data from within the VM? \\IP Address\ OR \\DNS name\ ?
Is the file transfer issue around the same two VMs?
Could you please double check the Adapters and Bindings priority under
Network Connection\Advanced\Advanced Settings?

In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
download on any web server
Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
Hope that helps.

Hi
The reason your speed has dropped is because of a noise issue this has caused the DLM to reduce your IP profile to stabilise the line all you need to do is leave the connection alone for up to 2 weeks and once the DLM see the line as stable again it should start to rise again
Restarting the Modem is the worse thing you can do as it will show the line as unstable and reduce your IP Profile in an attempt to stabilise the connection

Playback is choppy / slow while speeding up clip anything above 200%

Coming from using Final Cut Pro X for a while, ive just bought myself a new laptop.
Basic Specs are:
Intel i7 3840QM 2.8ghz with 3.8ghz turbo
32GB Ram 1600mhz
1TB SATA 7200rpm in Raid 0
2GB GeForce GTX680M
Long story short, ive been a long time PC fan my whole life although using the mac only for video editing and being a basic macbook pro 13" with final cut pro x seems to outperform my newly acquired PC laptop.
I bought this laptop with the intentions to move my video editing platform back to a PC state and with the new Premiere cs6.
everything is smooth and all that but the same issue i remembered about premiere back when i wanted to try it out in cs3 time. the playback for previewing video is slow and choppy.
i have to always "render" my video just to preview it smoothly which is very time consuming. I always thought because back in the day my laptop wasnt as good as my new one now so that was the issue and moved over to my mac which was great for video editing only.
but that mac has basic specs compared to my new laptop and still the preview is flawless and smooth with LIVE video previewing. i mean i can do speed duration changes of 10% slow down all the way to 1000% speed ups and watch my video that same instant after.
but with premiere if i do anything speed changes of more then 200% original frame time it plays fine for 2 seconds at that accelerated speed then gets choppy and slow.
I even changed the playback resolution to 1/4 quality and i get the same issue.
i wouldnt mind waiting for the render so i can see that smooth playback and determine whether i like it or not except when rendering my clips from my gopro which is recording at 60fps 1080 it takes over 15 minutes.
This has always seemed to be an issue with premiere for me and am wondering if there is something i am missing here..
anyone point me to the right direction?
im not hating on PC or adobe at all, i love these two platforms in every other way but when it comes to this editing all i hear is good things about them but when i go to use them for myself its extremely frustrating.
P.S. yes i have set my GPU to use the mercury GPU accelerated mode which did minimal difference with playback smoothness.

I was having this issue last night while going through a bunch of 1080p 60fps footage I took yesterday with my Hero3 Black. I wasn't doing any speeding up or down, just previewing footage to cut sections out. It would play back fine for 6 seconds, then get choppy which got worse the longer I let it play. It played fine for 6 seconds after each pause and play.
I used Cineform as mentioned to convert the files which are now huge but play back without trouble. A 13 minute 2.8GB file became 25GB.
Hopefully this issue gets fixed so I don't have to go through all that.

Dropped frames during playback due to "slow disk"

I work off an external Rocstor 160gb firewire drive; suddenly as I started to edit a project I get constant dropped frames during playback. It says it's due to "slow disks" and I wondered if my hard drive was dying. But I opened other projects on the drive and they play just fine. Why just this one? It's shot on the same format, captured the same -- nothing's different from my older projects. Maybe the captured media files got corrupted? I've never seen this. I've tried using the Rocstor on three different machines (first a 17" PB, then two different G5 towers) and it happens on all of them. I have FC5 on the PB, but FC6 on the G5s -- doesn't matter. I'm stumped here.

How full's the drive? The fuller it gets, the slower it becomes. If it wasn't a superfast FW drive to begin with (especially a 400 device) You're gonna have problems as it gets fuller... starts slowing down big time around 70% capacity. It's always something... if the drive's not in a fast enclosure, and is also a fastish drive has a least 8mb disk cache, it will behave like this with DV footage.
One thing I've seen and learned from reading a few posts on this is that the better/faster stuff suited for FCP use is worth the investment. G-Raid, Grainite Digital, OWC all sell really nice FW800 setups... they are up to twice as fast as older/slower FW 400 drives. and NEVER buy any more than you need now for storage. It's half the price and twice the speed next time you need more it seems.
eSATA should be considered by any pro. laptop or not.

Video playback on older (slower) computers

I tested a Flex application I've been working on with my old computer and the playback of audio and video using the VideoPlayer component is essentially non-functional, even after waiting for the source to load completely. The computer in question:
mac OS 10.4.11, 667MHz PowerPC (PowerBook) 1MB L3 cache, with 768 MB SDRAM
This is undoubtedly an old setup, however it does play most video content that's on the web, so it does raise concern for me. I know there's not a definitive answer, but I'm just looking for some general feedback as to wether or not I should be concerned with this lack of functionality and if so, if there are any suggestions about addressing this issue.
Thanks~Benny

Video playback is too slow on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 7520 15R)

Hello all!
I tried to resolve this issue by myself and using google but nothing happens and that's why I'm here
I hope you can help me with this
So what I have:
The PR launched successfully but if I add any video from my gopro 2 (720p@60fps) and try to play it without any effects I will got frozen video after 2-3 sec of watching and ~90% of frames are lost.
What I did:
Upgrade bios to the latest version
Install Radeon drivers from Dell web site (because latest driver from AMD doesn't install on my lp)
Note:
The GPUSniffer.exe displayed only my HD Graphics 4000 and can't see Radeon HD 7730M - so I think this is the key to solve the problem.
Also the driver package from Dell web doesn't contain ATI panel where I can find the Switchable Graphics Method
My configuration:
15.6" (1920x1080) WLED
Intel Core i7-3632QM (2.2 ГГц)
RAM 8 ГБ
AMD Radeon HD 7730M GPU and Intel HD Graphics 4000
HDD 1 TB
OS: Windows 8
