Some videos are just green screen

Some videos last a few seconds and then all i get is green screen and a crackling audio as the video skips or fastforwards.

"Green Screen" is (99.9% of the time) caused by outdated or corrupted video drivers.
Yes, even if they're up to date, they can be corrupted.
Update them from the manufacturer, not Windows.

Internet videos are a black screen

I just added a second screen to my desktop. After getting that working suddenly all internet videos are solid black screens. I hear the audio and see all the controls, but if I fiddle with the video it freezes on me and a pop up saying shockwave flash is busy or non responsive, the audio also stops at that point. same result weather i use internet explorer or Firefox. Have uninstalled and downloaded/installed flash player a couple times. rebooted my computer nothing changes. how can i fix this?

It sounds like your graphics driver isn't happy. You can test this by disabling hardware accleration.
This troubleshooting guide will walk you through it:
Video playback issues
If everything is happy with Hardware Acceleration disabled, you'll want to locate the latest available drivers for your video card. Hopefully that will resolve the issue and you'll be able to enable hardware acceleration for optimal system performance.

Photos from my iphoto library are just green in imovie - Why?

I just bought iMovie 10 and I am using maverick. I imported a project from iphoto to imovie and started to work wih clips and photos. But now most of my potos are just green
see below:
Why?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0. Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?

Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0. They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?

Ok, so I'll try again. Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update? It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV. These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

Why On Flex Builder Some Comments Are In Green And Others Are In Blue

Hi, I'm really newbie, and I'm trying to put my classes in

in green and other comments are in blue.
For example:
/* this is green */
* this one is blue

Firefox will not play videos. A green screen shows instead. Same sites work in IE. Problem just started this week. How can I fix this?

The sound works -- it's just that video is replaced by a solid green screen.

I found the problem, and I don't think it is with Firefox or Adobe. I have Radeon Graphics running on a Intel Core i7 computer and I was able to solve this problem by opening the Catalyst Control Center and clicking on one setting and applying.
Open your Catalyst Control Center (it may be an icon on your desktop, in the start menu, or accessed via right clicking the desktop and selecting "Graphics Properties") and click on the "power" icon. From there you select "Switchable Graphics", and there should be an area for "recent applications". If you do not see any recent applications, I would re-download the flash player, access a website that uses it, and then retry the above instructions. There should be a "button" to the right of the Flash Player Application and select it until it says "power saving" and select apply. I also tried using "high performance" as a setting and the green screen remained. I am using Catalyst Control Center version 2011.1205.2215.39827, and cannot say if the above instructions will work with any other version.

Flash Player has sound but video is a green screen.

I am running Windows 7 x64 and did a new install on a new HD. No problem with my old HD installation. I have an ATI XFX 6700 series video card, 8 GB computer RAM. I have tried manual un-install per the youtube video. I have deleted two Windows update files KB2735855 and KB2750841. I installed the latest version of Flash Player 11.6.602 after reboot and the problem is in my primary browser Maxthon 3 and in IE9. Both of these browsers work just fine for video, on my old HD.
I have re-installed the Maxthon browser as well. Always a green screen in Flash video but the HTML video works ok. The Adobe detector shows :
This is after the sucessful update to 11.6.602.171 I also don't understand why it shows Chrome browser which I didn't have untill the Flash update snuck it in on the last download. This showed Chrome even before that and I don't beleive Maxthon is a Chrome browser. I have run out of options except to try a Window restore. What can I do to get this fixed? Very frustrated.
Other video card info:

Pat, the video does work in Chrome. But the Flash detector (1st picture) showed I was using Chrome before it was ever installed. I think Adobe should at least recognize Maxthon browser and suggest the correct version of Flash.
I have the latest video driver and it was installed during my Windows install on the HD. Perhaps it is a newer version than the one on my old drive, I will have to check. I still have the green screen and I want to get video working in Maxthon which is a far better browser than anything esle I have tried.
The Flash player in Chrome shows it is Adobe Flash 11.6.602.171, while the right clicking in the video player on Maxthon shows it is 11.5.502.110 so obviously Flash is not updating after I downloaded and ran the updater. How can I get rid of this old version, I have tried the manual uninstall? There must be some registry entries that are not being deleted.
Picture of green screen: Most videos on Adobe TV do this but here is URL: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/featured-videos-on-peek/pixeltone/

When watching a video on youtube, if the monitor blanks for power saving, when it resumes, the video area is green (not refreshed) but the sound keeps playing.

Steps:
1. Video is correctly playing on youtube
2. Since I'm just watching and not pressing any key or moving the mouse, the display will blank for power saving after some minutes
3. I move the mouse to wake it
4. The video area is solid green, while the sound continues playing
5. If I switch tasks, the area from the other task gets painted over the video area, it seems like the video are is never refreshed after the suspend/wake

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Itunes video playback has green screen

When I try to play videos in Itunes all I get is a green screen. I have tried almost every fix I have found but I can't seem to fix it. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 5160 running XP. My video driver is a XGI VolariXP vs.2.116DELL. My hardrive just recently corrupted, and I can't remember how I got rid of the green screen before.

Everything seems to be pointing towards the video drivers ... it might also be worth checking if you're getting similar sorts of green screens with your WMP, as per the following Microsoft document (they've got some suggestions we haven't looked at yet):
[The screen may appear black or green during playback when the Windows Media Player control is embedded in a Web page|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909554]
... but, I've also been checking on the Dell website, and it looks like there could be some strange issues that crop up for folks if the drivers on your Inspiron model are reinstalled in the wrong order after an operating system reinstall:
[Technical Support for Inspiron 5160: How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order|http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?c =us&docid=1A0C0937D62A8739E0401E0A55174744&doclang=en&l=en&s=gen]
... so I'm not sure which of those two directions it would be most prudent for you to pursue next. (We're pretty much at the extreme edge of my technical competence with video things now, and I don't want to put you wrong, Sportsman.)
So, if nobody else here drops by to contribute any additional advice, I think it might be a good idea to check in with a Dell technician for an opinion on what to try next.

YouTube videos are just... not good.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I used to have really slow Internet, and we upgraded on July 23. My speedtests went from 1.86 down, 0.3 up to 17 down, 1.5 up. Everything else I do on the Internet has very much benefited from this upgrade, but YouTube hasn't, really. For about two days, it was great. I could watch a video in 1080p full screen and it wouldn't stop at all, whereas before I'd always had issues. For some reason, Flash wouldn't buffer more than like 30-45 seconds ahead of where I was watching. (This started around January or so.) I had always paused videos at the beginning to let them buffer all the way through, but it got to the point where, for whatever reason, I couldn't do that. I had to watch every. freaking. video in 30-45 second chunks, even on the lowest quality offered for that video.
Anyhow, so upon upgrading our Internet, it flew for about two days and then this problem came back. It's not as bad as before - I can watch a video straight through in 480p or lower. But I want HD! If my Internet connection is 10 times as fast, this shouldn't be happening. I should be able to watch a 1080p video full screen straight through like I was for those two days.
Info:
I have the AT&T U-Verse 18 Mbps connection, and it speedtests at 17 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up.
I have a PC that I purchased last summer. (HP Envy-14 Beats Edition, model 1260se) It has 6GB ram, an i5 processor, and discrete graphics. I use Firefox and Chrome. Firefox is currently my primary browser, but I'm working on switching to Chrome because Chrome is soooo much faster. (I have a lot of tabs that I keep open in each and I don't have time to switch them all.)
I also have a MacBook Pro that I purchased shortly after this summer's release of the new MacBook Pro (with the retina display.) Mine is not the new one, though. It has 8GB ram and an i5 processor. I use Chrome exclusively on the Mac.
Both computers encounter this problem. And no, I don't need to reboot, I turn off both computers at night.
I have checked Task Manager on my PC while this issue is happening in Firefox to see if something is weird with my computer, and everything matches the norms EXCEPT for the fact that the Flash plugin keeps consuming 10-15% of the CPU. While that's not enough to significantly slow performance of the rest of my computer, I wonder if it has something to do with this problem. Neither Firefox nor Flash are using more RAM than they should be.
Also, both before the Internet upgrade and now, every time the problem gets REALLY severe and Firefox stops responding, then if Firefox does start responding again I see a message that the Flash plugin has crashed.
I just upgraded my Flash player on my PC to 11.3.300.268 (and rebooted, though it didn't instruct me to) in order to see if that would help, but no such luck. The upgrade changed nothing.
Also, I just noticed... when I right-clicked on the YouTube video I'm trying to watch on my PC (I'm typing this on my Mac) the final option in the menu still reads "About Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.265." What's with that? (Oh, and then right after I typed this, Flash decided to crash on me. FUN.)
Considering the amount of time I spend on YouTube, I would really like for this issue to be resolved. And to reiterate, I have fast Internet and two fast computers. Everything else works wonderfully, but YouTube doesn't.

The change to YouTube's buffering policy was deliberate and done by Google/Youtube after extensive testing that showed them this provided a better experience for more customers.
Chrome comes with it's own version of Flash Player, that's why the version you installed (268) does not appear when you right click in Chrome. If you tried the same thing with Safari or Firefox you'd see 268.
I'd recommend also posting this on the YouTube forums to see if they have any advice.

.swf files with imported video are just white slides with no audio.

Hello there,
I had been using Adobe Presenter 7 until recently and I have now upgraded to Presenter 10 for use within Powerpoint 2013. Unfortunately I am having quite a few issues with it.
I am using it to make presentations built up of imported video files, as I had been doing before with Presenter 7 without any issue. I typically have a presentation of 6 parts and import each video file ~80MB Mp4 into a single slide then name each slide adding a presenter and output it to an 'swf' file. This worked fine in Presenter 7.0.7. Now my issue is that the output will load the player it will have the correct presenter, and timings on the chaptered sidebar but when it plays the presentation area of the screen is just white, there's no audio, no video just the correct time for each section. I've checked the output folder the individual video files will play within windows media player without issue.
It should be noted that the html5 only version works fine, until uploaded to a web server and then it will not load any of the player with IE11 (I can't test it in other browsers).
I would appreciate some help with this if anyone has any ideas to fix this.
Many thanks

Well make sure you have read and write permissions on the file. Do a get info in the video (command-I) and alter it as necessary.

Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander. I also have MovieSRTPlayer. Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB. The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles. It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder. I am also transferring a companion file to that folder. The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder. The Video app itself does show and play those video files.
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app. But they do not appear in the various filer apps. And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video. In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved). That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them. I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying. But now I'm running into this brick wall again. I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder. They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app. They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times.
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps. File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version).
They all show or don't show the same thing. So files are missing. And SIZE is not the sole determining factor. When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files. So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder. But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers. The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up. The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up. A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up. But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up. Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago! Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles). Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up. Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it. Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB. So, the filemanagers are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct. But your app does not appear to show it.

Cannot see video, I get green screen and can only hear the contents

I've unintalled flash player and adobe shockwave and re-installed it again but I am getting the same problem. Video is not working. I dont know what to do.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about yourwith the Video not working correctly or green. Try clicking on the green screen, in the tab named Local Storage and put 10 KB and the green screen should disappear. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating as the graphic driver could need updating. Have you tried another browser? This link will help you update your browser if needed. Let me know how this goes. Thanks.
