Safari 4, choppy video on iBook G4

Hi,
Videos played in Safari are choppy on my iBook G4. Sound plays OK. Everything was fine last week, the only thing I did is to delete my girlfriend's account and create a new account for me since she's not using the computer anymore. When I did that I was asked to upgrade Safari to version 4.1.2 (or something like that, I know for sure it's version 4) and since then, I can't look at Youtube videos or any other videos site. It's not a network problem since the video is downloaded faster than it plays. My girlfriend says she had no problem before I did the upgrade, I can't figure out wich Safari version was installed before I upgraded it. What should I do, go back to version 3.??? or is there something I should try before attempting to revert to version 3.
thanks for your help

solution use flash player 9 because it is it is better for ppc macs and set your ibook for the highest in the system prefs if yo go to energy settings<power adapter or battery<options<highest and also use camino which helps w/ flash video, also be adviced not so many websites work w/ flash player 9 butit should do
Camino:

Flash Player 9:

just go down where it says mac os x ppc
hope it plays better

Video Lagging/Choppy videos on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I am having a problem while watching videos online: video lagging/choppy videos. Sometimes the video is stuck in a certain frame although I still have the sound on the background; sometimes the video slows down completely (frame+sound). It started around one month ago, and exists in several different websites, I couldn`t solve it by myself. I am not very good with computers. I tried to uninstall/reinstall flash player, as well as disable hardware acceleration, and the problem is still there. Also somedays the videos are working fine, and somedays they are all bad independent of websites. I tried to use different browsers (chrome/firefox/safari), but the problem persists.
I am using a Macbook Pro and bought it in the beginning of January this year (right now it is running OS X 10.7.4) with flash player version 11.2.202.235.
I would very much appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks.

mellskucukoglu, uninstall all adobe products then install Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Air, Adobe Shockwave Player. Make sure to select the operating system correctly behind the link. Turn off your antivirus till you finish installation as suggested below the webpage. If it still doesn't work check for OS X 10.7.4 updates.
If it still doesn't work then go for Adobe Live chat in this link http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html . Sometimes they are busy. If they can't help. Think about any changes that you made before this issue like installaling any new apps. Uninstall them. If it still doesn't work then install Adobe Flash Professional CS 6. After installing check for adobe updates and update them all. It should work at this point. If not ,watch this

Choppy Video Problem AGAIN!

When Lion first came out, I had horribly choppy video, paticularly on YouTube, Safari hang ups, I was constantly refreshing pages that don't load, slow transitions etc. Then after about a month it all started to work, I figured it was a driver update from Apple.
Now, for an unrelated reason, I erased my hard disk and reloaded Lion from recovery. Did all of the update and restarted a few times. All of the problems from before are back! Lots of problems, YouTube is unusable. There are no more Software Updates so what should I try now?
2008 iMac 2.4 Core 2 Duo, 2400 HD graphics.

I just reset the PR Ram and YouTube and transitions are working now. Still some glitches but almost back to normal. What the **** Apple?

Slow FPS, graphics and choppy video when connected to a Mini-DVI cable to external monitor on Macbook Mid2007 4GB RAM

Hi,
I have a Mid-2007 Macbook white. I have upgraded its memory to 4GB. Snow Leopard was working great, and I said to myself maybe it's time to upgrade to Lion.
After the upgrade all was well. However, a big problem occurs when I plug in to the Mini-DVI display port with the HDMI adapter, to connect to my Sony LCD HDTV. The whole graphics and video slow down, everything is choppy. Quicktime and VLC video playback is strobe and choppy looks like very low Frame Rate. Cannot watch anything, not HD nor low resolutions. The entire computer is slow when the cable is connected.
Things I tried:
*VGA adapter seems to work fine - it's the digital display output that probably causes that.
*Running it through a new user.
This never happened on Snow Leopard. i'm considering to go back. However, I am wondering if there is a way to fix this minor problem.

Update:
We solved the problem. Weird solution but now it seems to work. I plugged a VGA adpater and played with the screen rsolutions to try and watch a movie well on my LCD screen. I changed the screen resolutions but I couldn't revert back to the default settings. Pressing "Detect Displays" didn't do anything.
Here is the interesting part: When I placed back the DVI-HDMI adapter, suddenly everything worked fine!!! There was no choppy videos, no low fps, works prefect.
Something weird is going on here, but I'm happy I managed to get the DVI to HDMI to work because I was about to removie Lion and bring back Snow Leopard.

How do you add visual video controls to widget video in ibooks author?

How do you add video controls to video using ibooks author?

I have the same question as VideoImage. I would like the controls to appear in some of my videos so that the reader can speed them up or slow them down. This would save me having to run them through iMovie at 4X say and saving them that way. As far as I can see, the video fast forward, fast reverse, go to end, go to beginning controls only appear in the Widget inspector. What is their purpose then?

Choppy Video on MEGA 180

Hi all,
I'm suffering from choppy video playback on my MEGA 180. By choopy I mean every ten seconds or so it will freeze up for a split second, the audio stays in sync, but you can slightly tell that the video stops, or skips.
This happens when watching .avi, DivX or even commercial DVD's. It also happens on my screen saver.
Since I was using the onboard video I thought I'd try using a video card but the same thing.
What I can't figure out is what the onboard video and a seperate video card have in common, since it's happening to both.
My onboard video has the latest drivers, and the PC as a whole is up to date.
Any suggestions are greatly needed.
Thanks.

can you give more information on the hardware you have installed in your Mega 180?
and can you give more background information; ie how long have you had this system, has it ever worked correctly, did the problem start after you installed any particular software, etc etc...

Choppy video playback with airplay from Macbook Pro

I experience very choppy video using airplay towards my Airplay unit (3rd gen).
I am using a Macbook Pro (15" retina, late 2013 version) with these specifications:
- Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz.
- 16 GB ram.
- 768 GB flash/SSD.
...and so on. I have the Mavericks OS installed (10.9.1).
When I duplicate or extend the screen of the computer to my Apple TV it is chopping EXTREMELY much. I am not talking a little bit - but it is not even watchable. I thought that it could be the router itself as the connection is (probably, correct me if I am wrong anyone) is directed from the computer - to the router - and then to the Apple TV, which could make the router like a filter in the process. And if something would prevent the signal from reaching the Apple TV with "full speed" it could prevent the actuall image.
However, when I am using the iPhone 4S and streaming video (both video found in my phone as well as streamed TV from apps such as Magine.com) the image flows completely flawless. There are not even a touch of lagging. It flows perfect, just as watching a movie directly on the TV.
The networking hardware in the phone is slower than in the Macbook Pro retina (late 2013) - both for sending and recieving data. But still... my iPhone works better than the Macbook Pro for the Apple TV. Even though that the processing, memory, graphic and networking power is probably a thousand times faster in the computer... it still performs really bad.
I have followed some discussion threads here (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22051725#22051725 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5734226?tstart=0 just as a couple of examples). I have accessed my router (Netgear Gigabit EVG 2000) and increased the Wireless mode to "up to 270 Mbps. I have also followed the previously linked threads and disabled the WMM (in the QoS-section). I felt that this made a little bit of a difference...
...when I am mirroring the screen and scale down the resolution to match the AirPlay screen (full-HD, 1920 x 1080) it works okay, but still chops quite a bit almost all the time. But if I extend the screen and want to watch TV at the same time as I am doing something else on the computer - then it chops so that it is not even possible to watch.
This have to be something either with the Mavericks OS or with my network settings - can anyone help me...? It would mean A LOT!

Curious why you think it would be my network when the same network is being used by the iPad 3rd Gen and iPhone 5 and they both stream without issue. As far as the other items you mentioned, all devices are up-to-date with the latest firmware/software and the latest MacBooks do not have ethernet ports. Speedtests that I have conducted also indicate that bandwidth is not the issue as the results show that the speeds received from the router are quite impressive.

Embedding video in iBooks Author

After embedding a video in iBooks Author, the screen on the iPad stays all black after playing, without showing any steering tools. I need to tip again the screen to get play, rewind, finishing etc. Is there a setting I miss?

I have had the same problem. But when I go to the Inspector, Widget and move the slider for Poster Frame, the Inspector does not allow it to stay there. It goes back to the beginning of the slider, and nothing is then displayed when the video is seen on an iBooks page when the iBooks is either previewed or exported to display on an iPad. Any suggestions?

Choppy video on big screens PLEASE HELP!

I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall. Is there a way to remedy this? Please help!
Drew.

I think I figured out the issue. Thanks for all your advice. I'll repost if I have any other problems.

Subject: Choppy video on big screens PLEASE HELP!
Drew,
How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
Good luck,

I get choppy video on netflix streaming online

how can i fix choppy video on netflix streaming online

What version Mini do you have? How much RAM?
What is your internet connection and speed?
Not knowing that, first I would say insure that you have
the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed. Next,
do you have any other apps running at the same time?
Which browser are you using? Also, is this all the time
or occasionallly?
I have a 2010 Mini (Mountain Lion installed) that I use as an
HTPC. Most of the time, I have no real issues with the video
from Netflix. There are occasions when video is pretty choopy.
However, I can view the same program at a later date and it plays
fine. Sometimes the problem can be at the Netflix end or with the
connection.

Adobe Captivate Outputting/Rendering Slow, Sluggish, and Choppy Video when ScreenCasting

When I screencast my desktop and then output/render the video that Adobe Captivate recorded, the video is always so choppy, sluggish, and slow.
I set the frames per second to 80 and interval to 1, 5, and 10, and still choppy video.
My system specfications are as follows:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i7 @ 3.40 GHz | Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM: 16.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6600 Series
Is there something that I am doing wrong during/after I record?
Any help would be awesome!
Thank you!

Hey Anjaneai,
I mean slow as in my Cursor movements are not as smooth as I expected with this software.
I have chosen the Video Demo recording mode.
I did check the option to show "Actions in Real Time" from Recording and it only applies to Audio. I am speaking of video. I have tried comparing. I tried comparing with Software Demo, but it's impossible to compare, seeing as Adobe Captivate generates the mouse for you.
I thought that the higher the Frame Rates the smoother the experience.
Thank you!

Choppy Video TV GO Android

Hello. Apologies if this has been asked before but I'd like to know if its a unique problem pertaining to just me. Phone: HTC One M7 GSM Google Play EditionOS: Android Lollipop 5.1 Issue: Choppy Video. I use Xfinity TV Go to watch shows with my Chromecast through the Screen Mirroring option. I noticed that the video surprisingly has no lag (meaning the lips and sound sync great) but the video does not play at a constant 30fps. At first I thought it was the mirroring that was causing the issue. But then I realized it was playing the same way when watching video my phone as well. Now my phone is more than powerful to play the video. My internet speed was much much more than adequate to play the video. So the problem lies with the app or some sort of incompatibility with my phone and os combo specifically. Its weird but it seems like some sort of buffering issue? Its not the normal stuttering I've seen before due to internet speed or phone hardware issues. Quality is just fine. I can give a bug report if need be. Please just ask. Thanks!

Just switched the video quality to Medium and it seems to have made the video run much smoother. Hope this helps. BTW the post above was not a solution. It didn't completely fix the problem for one and for two it shouldn't be choppy at high quality anyways. Thanks.

Export 790x592 .mov to 640x480 in QT 7.2 = choppy video playback

The specs to deliver a scene I scored are different than the original file. Original was H264 Codec 790x592 audio IMA 4:1. Needs to be delivered H264 Codec 640x480 with audio 48KHz 16bit.
I exported the file in QT pro 7.2 with the correct size and options. The sound is fine, but the video is not in sync - it jumps and stalls. Tried changing the options; same results so far.
Here is what I did.
I selected Movie to QT Movie and clicked on Options:
Under Video, I selected:
Compression - H.264
Dimensions - 640x480
Quality - High
Frame Rate - Current
Key Frames - Every - 24 Frames
Frame Reordering - yes
Scale - letterbox
Data Rate - Automatic
For Sound, I selected:
(Note: The only option I found giving me 48KHz 16 bit was Linear PCM. AAC is the standard, and I can select 48KHz, but there is no option for 16 bit.)
Linear PCM
Sample Rate - 48KHz
Channels - Stereo LR
Render
Quality - Best
Sample Size 16 bits

I fixed the choppy video.
Export File>Movie to QT Movie>Options>Video:
Frame Rate - Current
Key Frames - Automatic
Frame Reordering - Yes
Compressor Quality - Best
Encoding - Best Quality
Date Rate - Automatic
Options>Video:
Same as before
No more choppy video or sound.
