Playback stops after about 15 - 20 frames

This is a problem that I also have in cs4. I hit the space bar, after about 15 - 20 frames it stops. Looking at the task manager CPU utilization goes from about 4% to 100% and then playback stops.
System is an intel dual core running at 2.13 I think. Had 4 gig of memory now up to 8 gig. has 150 gig system drive, and a 600 gig dual drive raid 0 array for work in progress. Long term storage is on usb drives. System was running xp sp3 now windows 7 x64. Video card just upgraded to a new nvidia card.
System also has black magic intensity. Problem started quite a while ago before the recent upgrades. If cpu stays below 100% system works fine. Load in some effects and bang 100% cpu and it stops. Does not seem to matter what type of file. I use dv video (avi type 2), or hdv. As long as I am below 100% it works fine. Hits 100% and stops. I could understand it stuttering if the cores are both at 100, but why stop?
Motherboard is an intel dg965wh. Audio is a function of what the system is doing, has onboard audio, usb audio and black magic audio. One other annoying bug if the blackmagic card is set as the video out, that is the only p[lace audio will come out no matter what the hardware settings.
I am running out of brilliant and stupid ideas at this point and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ignoring the Intensity card for a second, if you're running PPro on its own, this symptom is usually one of two possibilities:
- bad display drivers (don't assume that Win7 will download the correct ones, go get the sanctioned 197.x drivers from the nVidia site)
- bad audio drivers. If you have the 'right' drivers for your system, try downloading the 'Asio4All' set (google around on this forum for other posts on this topic).
I would probably remove the Intensity card & uninstall its drivers, troubleshoot the above, then when it's playing correctly, add back the Intensity card. The card is the other factor that could be playing into this (for instance, their own sound driver options could be the trigger here), but I'm not sure what to offer for Black Magic troubleshooting suggestions.

Playback in Preview window stops after about 1 second

Hi,
When I hit the spacebar to view the clip in the preview window, the playback stops after about one second each time. It goes smoothly, then after one second, it stops. I can however drag the slider across the time line and there seems to be no problems.
I'm sure I have a powerful enough computer, so I don't think it's something to do with ram (I have 6 gig ram, Vista, triple core processor, good graphics card... brand new computer bought yesterday)
I'd appreciate help with this.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean... I am importing from a DV tape which was recorded onto by a MiniDV Camera. When I plug in the camera to my fire wire, Windows gives me the options of AVI and WMV format (I am not sure which one to go with by the way, but WMV format seems clearer and 5 times smaller too.. why is that?)
Any ideas?
Thanks again
EDIT: Also, I borrowed some video files on the net and premiere does the exact same thing- stopping after one second :/

Flash videos stop after about a second of playback ?

ANY flash videos that are played inside Internet explorer OR
firfox stop after about a second of playback, I can drag the slider
to the middle of the video and it will play for another second then
stop. Can anybody HELP. PS I also have NO sound in any FLASH stuff
since installing flash player 9. ALL other video's (WMP,MOV,RM)
play OK WITH sound

Hi ATR
Thanks for the advice and ideas.
I think that the vertical white line basically just shows where the mouse pointer last was relative to the time line, and if you move it from the editing window to the viewing window, it retains its last known position on the time line.
None the less - I implemented your suggestion.
Even if I move the clip further down the timeline, the playback stops about 1-4 secons after I hit play. Even if I move the clip 60 seconds back from the starting line, playback stops while the the playback position is running through the empy space prior to reaching the new starting time of the clip.
If I move the blue cursor that shows the current playing point to anywhere else in the clip, it plays for about 1-4 second and then freezes as before.
Clearly the playback freezes regardless of where it is in the content stream.
I have also discovered a new unexpected feature... The problem seems to be intermittent - if I open a few other clips, and play them, and return to the previous clip, it may run for some time and then freeze. After it has then frozen once, it freezes consistently after 1-4 seconds.
It is also worth noting that it freezes in quick mode too, regardless of timelines.
So there you have it - an intermittent issue.
I have bad to use iMovie in the meantime, which works without issues.
It is beginning to look like a bug in the application...
Thanks again for your suggestions.

When I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes to the next one. how do I fix this? These are songs in entire albums that I have purchased.

when I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes on to the next song. This is happening with songs on albums I have purchased direclty through itunes

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Playback stops after a second or two

My playback unexpectedly began to stop after only a second or two today. Fast forward stutters too. No change in the computer (except software updates). The file is OK as it plays fine on my laptop. Trashed preferences, restored Garageband from a previous time machine version, turned off my airport, all to no avail. Garageband is completely unusable on my G5 Tower at this point. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Repairing permissions right now to see if it helps.

I had the same issues with playback stopping after a few seconds. It began happening in every project that I had.
I tried a vast number of things, changing mac settings, changing garageband settings, software update of garageband etc etc...
Nothing made any difference until late last night. I decided to make a brand new project with one simple recorded audio track to see if the problem would happen with the new project.
Playback worked fine in my new project and then when I checked my other projects, they all worked fine as well.
I don't know whether initialising a new project fixed things or whether it was a coincidence but the problem went away for me.
Good luck

Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

Multicast stops after about 2 minutes

Hi,
We are testing IP Multicast, with Flahs media player 4.0.
We set up the encoder and generated the manifest file.
Multicast start, but we see lot of bufferring and video running fast.
After about 2 minutes, the encode stops publishing to the server.
We are using digital rapids as the encoder.
Any idea this might be causing ?

A few things to try:
1. If you're using the 'multicast' application that ships with FMS4, it logs state transitions and event info to the app log as the server-side multicast relay (a server-side NetConnection/NetGroup/NetStream) start up and redirect the ingest stream from FMLE into the Flash Group. I'd recommend reading through that and verifying that the server-side objects handling the relay into the Group are happy (i.e. not disconnecting or being closed down).
2. The multicastplayer client SWF app has some flashvars defined in the HTML shim file that loads it. One of these is a debug flag. If you set that to true, you'll get some debug info surfaced up to your UI. This will include the various events the client is processing on its NetConnection/NetGroup/NetStream that's being used to play the multicast stream out of the target Flash Group. Feel free to post those details back to this thread.
3. If you're doing IP multicast, that won't work over the public internet. In that case you'll want to be using P2P multicast.
Best,
Seth

Audio stops after about 5 minutes

After rendering/encoding, the sound on my finished DVD stops after approximately 5 minutes. It is fine on iMovie, and also is there in iDVD when using preview.
In contrast to other posts in this forum, there are no slide shows on my DVD, and all sound comes from the camcorder together with the video.
I am using "Create Disc Image", and I have tried both playing back with DVD player from that very disc image, and actually burning it on a DVD and playing it back from there.
I have also thrown out the whole iDVD project and started from scratch by creating a new project from iMovie.
Since my DVD is just about 60 min, I have also tried both "quality" and "performance" encoding - same result.
The audio stops in the middle of a 4-min clip as defined in iMovie.
I am using iDVD 5.0.1.
This process (importing from camcorder, editing in iMovie, building menus etc. in iDVD, creating disc image, burning) is something I have done for several DVDs previously without problems (but maybe with iDVD 5.0)

AppleTV stops after about 10 minutes and I get the "spinning circle". I have re-set the computer's power setting to NEVER shut down, but no help.

My Apple TV stops playing after about 10 minutes. It will only work when iTunes is open, so I leave iTunes and and Home Sharing is on. Everything is fine for about 10+ minutes, then the music stops and I get the "spinning circle". I've set the computer's power settings to never shut down, thinking that it was stopping because the power went off, but it still stops. People over for T-giving soon. HELP!!

Playback stops after a few seconds when pressing Play

Problems with getting files to play in Premiere. I can import the files just fine. Its when I click the play icon or even the spacebar that causes an issue. If it plays it will only be like for 1-3 seconds. Then it stops. After which I have to press play again. Though the playback is not always guaranteed. I can even skip ahead in the playback, but sadly the results are the same.

DVD stops after about 60 mins - Error messsage - disc might be dirty

DVD in my Powerbook G4 stops playing after about 1 hours Superdrive has been repaired twice already. Any Ideas how I can put this right. My warrenty finishes in 10 days.
Thanks Mark

First, welcome to the discussions.
Just a couple of points to make.
You shouldn't be having any problems at all playing Commercial DVD Movies.
If you are, you need to take it in and have Apple fix the problem.
If you are having problems with previously burnt DVD's, I then lean toward the Media you are using to burn with or the Media your burner is trying to read.
Just a little more information for you.
Any dirty media or scratched media can cause what you explain, as well as incompatible media as well.
You don't give all the information in your settings as to which Optical Drive is in your Powerbook.
Irregaurdless of the Burner in your machine you will find there is a huge difference in Media of the same speed, I have found that using 8X DVD-R Media upwards of 97% of all computers and players will recognise and play.
Also, there is a huge difference in the Brands on the market and some are a lot better than others.
I use Maxell 8X DVD-R. The reason is that the paperwork on the back of the 3 pack I use, shows that it will burn at 1X 2X 4X 8X. I have never had a coaster after switching to this media.
Hope this helps.

Playback repeats after about 90mins of playback

I have talk radio recordings, that go as long as 4hours per file. And while playing one of these on my Nano after about 90mins of playback, the nano restarts the playback from the beginning of the file.(I should note that Repeat is turned off on my Nano)
Is there some way to fix this?

Playback problems - Video playback stops after 1 second (CS5)

Hello forum,
i recently got huge problems with video playback. The video stops playing after rougly one second and the last frame freezes. After that, Premiere won't show any frames when scrubbing through the sequene. It just shows the freezed frame and the whole program just becomes terribly slow.
Sometimes the playback is just fine, but in some cases the playback error occures randomly. I experienced that the error happens even more frequenly when Flash Player plays back a video in the background, e.g. a youtube video.
Maybe the playback errors happen because my harddrive is almost full (1,5TB capacity, 300 GB left)? Or is it because of a few plugins ( e.g. filmconvert)?
I run Windows 7, Premiere CS5 on an I7 860 2,8 Ghz quad core CPU with 8 GB of RAM and a nvidia 460 GPU.
Thanks for your help.

sounds like a major shortout. you can take it in, but this isn't going to be good news, I'm afaird.

Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

Any suggestions? This is my first iPod and I am ready to take it back if I am unable to extend the playing time. Frustrating!

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck. My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep. Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures??? If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

Playback stops after about 15 - 20 frames
