Playing video on eMac is very slow.

Hi I have an eMac 700mhz with 640mb of SD Ram running Mac OS X 10.3.9 and video is very slow but weirdly videos on YouTube play fine and are not choppy or slow at all.
I have the latest version of flash that will run on this OS : Adobe Flash Player 9.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Follow Dale's advice first to run Repair Disk; if there are any disk directory issues, other fixes will just be wasting time until the underlying directory problems are fixed.
Other things to consider: how much free space is there on the hard drive? Unix-based operating systems, which includes OS X, require disk space for scratch and swap files; burning optical discs requires enough space for creation of a temporary file as large as the physical disc being burned; and other programs may have their own cache requirements. If free space on the boot hard drive runs below 1 GB, the computer will begin to behave poorly can can potentially end up unable to boot. Deleting unused data and files (old .dmg images used to install old programs are a prime candidate for deleting) will help. If space is really tight, get an external Firewire hard drive and move user data there:

If you normally shut down an OS X Mac overnight or leave it in system sleep, the cron maintenance tasks cannot run in their nominal 3 am timeframe. (Display-only sleep allows the maintenance tasks to run). Tiger 10.4.2 and later will (nominally) force the maintenance tasks to run after sufficient time has elapsed, although the timing on that is subject to dispute. You can leave the Mac in display-only sleep a weekend or two a month; you can manually Force Background Maintenance; or you can use a third-party utility such as OnyX to run the maintenance. Note that any system utility you use must be compatible with the OS version (e.g., use the Tiger version of OnyX with 10.4.x).

Videos Playing On eMac Are Very Slow.

Hi I have an eMac 700mhz Power PC G4 with 640mb of SD Ram running Mac OS X 10.3.9 and video is very slow but weirdly videos on YouTube play fine and are not choppy or slow at all.

It's possible that CNET are using bigger (in terms of their quality) movies compared to the very small YouTube files.
When you watch the movies, are they downloading in time to play properly? (Most online movie viewers show a progress bar that lets yousee how much of the file has been downloaded... and the movie starts playing almost immediately... so - is it trying to play, when it hasn't downloaded the file yet)
You could try click the Pause/Play button (to pause), and wait til it finishes downloading, Then click Play and see if that helps...
Other than that... how much hard drive space is free on your computer?
Do you have a DVD drive? Can you watch normal DVDs?

Videos skip and are very slow when I play them in anything other than fulls

When I try to play a video it is ok when it is in the small box in the corner but when i double click and get the video larger it skips alot and play very slow, but when I make the video full screen it play normally. How can I play the video in the mid size box in the right way.

I'm having the same problem (iTunes 11.02!) .
I think this one isn't resolved because it IS rare: I've had iTunes on about 7 different machines (Mac and PC) since it begain (2001). In fact I maintain the same library without issues for over 10 years. Anyway this is the first time it's occurred (in my case it's happened on a pretty recent Mac Laptop). But as you may have discovered, google/bing searches for similar problems yeild VERY few results.
A guy at the Apple store was able to temporarily fix by doing some low level cache removal, that may give a glimpse to the reason, but is not a permanent fix.
I'm going to try a few things will report back if I have any luck**.
***If anyone else want to give it a try: Before starting bookmark the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 this describes the location and purpose of most of the iTunes library files. And, any apple support docs on creating a new iTunes library... I'm unwilling to try the let iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized " cause I have my own organization method.

Firefox won't play videos on websites at all, slow or get error message. Ok on other browsers!

eg a website I manage I get an error message "error loading material, file cannot be played" link to file in question: http://www.parbeach.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=822#top_display_media
Other videos in some websites are very slow and jerky or no sound but visual or the other way round.
This issue does not exist in other browsers eg IE and Chrome. I prefer Firefox but since I have had a Windows 8 laptop I have been getting this issue. Friends have had the the same issue.
Can you suggest how to correct this. This issue only started about 2 months ago. I have tried starting Firefox in safe mode but to no effect.

What file is giving this problem?
Is this about the file (FoPB_Spotlight.mp4) that plays in the Flash player on this page?
You can check the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) for errors and possibly the Network tab (you need to reload the page).
Try to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash Player and possibly in Firefox.

Video Chat on Android very slow !

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an audio/video chat Android application. On my Android device (Samsung Galaxy S), all works... but it is very very slow !!
I launch the application (release version) on my phone and then I launch this application from my computer (from Flash Builder)
Each applications are connected to the Cirrus server and streams are sent/received. On my computer, no problem. But on my phone, the CPU usage grows immediatly (>90 % !) and the app finish to crash.
Before I click on the "connect" button : RAM 26 mb / CPU 0.33% (great !)
When I publish my audio/video via NetStream : RAM 42 mb / CPU 64%
When I publish AND receive an audio/video NetStream : RAM 48 mb / CPU 94%
By the way, my phone is getting hot...
I know that this could be done without such performance problems on Android. The proof : http://coenraets.org/blog/2010/07/video-chat-for-android-in-30-lines-of-code/
Yes, LCCS is use here by C. Coenraets, but LCCS is nothing but a NetConnection/NetStream and a RTMFP solution... So what am i doing wrong ? Any help would be very appreciated.
I paste here the code (firstView of the ViewNavigatorApplication) :

Ok my microphone and camera settings were bad.
I comment out these lines :
                                                  microphone.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX;
                                                  microphone.framesPerPacket = 1;
                                                  microphone.setSilenceLevel(0, 3000);
                                                  microphone.gain = 100;
                                                  microphone.rate = 22;
//camera.setMode (640, 480, 15, true);
                                                  //camera.setQuality (15000, 0); // 30000, 0 (adobe settings)
Then the application works better, but still use CPU at 80-90% after a while... And finish to crash. Any idea ?

Emac is very slow

My emac has slowed down considerably since I purchased it approximately 2 years ago. What are all the potential things that could be slowing my computer down and how can I solve these problems?

Follow Dale's advice first to run Repair Disk; if there are any disk directory issues, other fixes will just be wasting time until the underlying directory problems are fixed.
Other things to consider: how much free space is there on the hard drive? Unix-based operating systems, which includes OS X, require disk space for scratch and swap files; burning optical discs requires enough space for creation of a temporary file as large as the physical disc being burned; and other programs may have their own cache requirements. If free space on the boot hard drive runs below 1 GB, the computer will begin to behave poorly can can potentially end up unable to boot. Deleting unused data and files (old .dmg images used to install old programs are a prime candidate for deleting) will help. If space is really tight, get an external Firewire hard drive and move user data there:

If you normally shut down an OS X Mac overnight or leave it in system sleep, the cron maintenance tasks cannot run in their nominal 3 am timeframe. (Display-only sleep allows the maintenance tasks to run). Tiger 10.4.2 and later will (nominally) force the maintenance tasks to run after sufficient time has elapsed, although the timing on that is subject to dispute. You can leave the Mac in display-only sleep a weekend or two a month; you can manually Force Background Maintenance; or you can use a third-party utility such as OnyX to run the maintenance. Note that any system utility you use must be compatible with the OS version (e.g., use the Tiger version of OnyX with 10.4.x).

Very Slow Video that Does Not Fully Load on Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a macbook pro from 2007 (Mac OS X 10.4.11) and I have never had any issues with streaming video until yesterday. I have fast internet, and I can browse quickly, but my video is recently being very slow and won't fully load. It always says 14 out of 16 things loaded or some other number when I try to play a video. I have tried resetting Safari and emptying my cache to speed it up several times with no luck. I have Safari 4.1.2. I am wondering what I need to do to get this fixed as soon as possible because there are some important videos I need to watch for classes.
Thanks so much for your help!

"I have tried resetting Safari and emptying my cache to speed it up several times with no luck. I have Safari 4.1.2."
Do you have the same problem w/streaming videos using other browsers? Suggest that you re-post over in the Safari for Mac forums as your problem is not MBP related but rather software.

Youtube very slow...

Since I went from normal dsl to a dry loop dsl a couple of weeks ago, youtube videos have been running very slow. It stops to buffer every 5 seconds... I did not change anything on my side. Any ideas what is going on? It is getting very annoying.

I dont think its you, I'm pretty sure its youtube's servers, they seemed to have slowed down quite a bit these past few days, but I assure you that it is not your internet.

Affter Effects "Cube" all four videos play very slow

Hi everyone,
As I have produced a rotating "Cube" . Four videos to play as the Cube rotates slowly from left to right.
The negative is that all four videos in the rendered finished product play very slow.
my wish is to have all four videos to play at a normal speed.
any input would be appreciated.
yes I am new to After Effects and this is my best piece of work so far but the element of no realtime of the videos is
troubling. Premiere Pro is coming nicely.
Many thanks! Merry Christmas!

When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

Your MBP needs more RAM based on the quantity of 'Page outs' vs 'Page ins'. 4 GB should be the minimum upgrade, 8 GB would be better. The RAM specifications for a 2009 MBP are; 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

Video .f4v very slow

Hello:
I'm having problems playing f4v video is very slow. The size is 100 MB and resolution 1280x720. When I play out of Flash it reproduces well.
I need to play in Desktop application not over Internet.
What I'm doing bad? Is there anywhere to play well or wich is the better option to do it?
thank you very much.
This is my code:
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.events.AsyncErrorEvent;
//fullscreen
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
var conexion:NetConnection= new NetConnection();
conexion.connect(null);
var display:NetStream = new NetStream(conexion);
display.play("videos/ocioelecer.f4v");
var video:Video = new Video(1280,720);
video.attachNetStream(display);
addChild(video);
display.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, noshow);
function noshow(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void{
//no show error
display.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
    switch (event.info.code)
        case "NetStream.Play.Start":
            trace("Start [" + display.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Play.Stop":
        //End video
                        trace("Stop [" + display.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");
        (root.loaderInfo.loader.root as Object).removeSWF();
            break;

100MB played locally is nothing. Most HDs have burst cache which can load up to 200MB instantly off disk. You shouldn't even need to (but might want to on a really 'value/green' rated drive) set the buffer to require 1 second of data before playing (bufferTime = 1).
Are you using any kind of integrated graphics, like using a Z-esque Intel chipset with Intel 2000/3000/4000 graphics? Sometimes people over-estimate how well their built in hardware decoders perform.
You always want to add Event listeners before you invoke a method that uses events. In your code you're adding listeners AFTER invoking a 'play(...)' method. Just for best practice, run the load(...) last.
Lastly is the video available for inspection? 100MB for 10 seconds is 10MB/s, which is really only required in excessively high quality rendering with a huge gaumet with high motion. 9mbit is average full quality 720p (which is 1.25MB/s). You may have your bitrate set too high as moccamaximum mentioned if you are not in that video situation or striving for lossless video in ultra high motion.

Playing video on eMac is very slow.
