Some videos play, some videos freeze

I've got a 5G 30GB ipod that worked fine until about the time I got a new computer (both old and new are Windows XP). Transferred all old library items fine to new computer. All music plays fine but newly purchased videos freeze after a few seconds and go to black then after a couple of minutes it goes back to the previous menu screen. Old videos and TV programs (purchased before the switch in computers) still play fine. Newly added videos will play fine on my computer but not on my ipod. I've got latest software updates and have done all suggested R's but problem is still there. By the way ... all videos and TV programs were purchased through iTunes (protected MPEG4), not converted and the new computer has been authorized. Any suggestions?? (Not sure if this has to do with the new computer or just a coincidence in timing.)

It probably does have to do with it being a new computer. In iTunes go to the Store menu on top and Deauthorize your computer. Now play one of the newly purchased videos that didn't play on the iPod. When prompted enter your Apple ID and password.
You do want to delete the ones that didn't play from your iPod, but it doesn't have anything to do with being out of disk space (not memory). Now resync the videos and see if they play correctly.

Video Play Stops and Freezes

During play, the video freezes after several minutes. Not all videos are affected by this. Video podcasts and other videos downloaded from iTunes work more reliably. Videos I edited (I use Ulead VideoStudio 10 & 11 or Roxio Creator 9) are a problem and generally will not play. All the edited videos are rendered to the iPod setting in the program(s) and play perfectly in iTunes.
All the videos, regardless of their source, play perfectly on my two year old 60 gig 5th generation iPod.
From other postings, it appears that other iPod Classic owners are experiencing this problem.
Could this be a "firmware" problem that Apple will be able to resolve or is there a hardware problem in this 1st generation Classic?

I deleted all the video files from iTunes and sent them to the recycle bin. This did not delete the files from the the file folder located in My Documents/My Videos. Next, I went back to iTunes and added each video file into the Movies playlist.
After completing this for all my videos, every file played perfectly on my iPod Classic.
With this solution to my videos freezing while playing, I am completely satisfied with the new iPod. I plan to buy another Apple Dock for use in the car with the factory installed video player.

Sound from video plays after video player removed from stage

I have a website http://www.droolpigs.com when I go there if I click the video archives button then play a video then click on the home or photos button or one of the alternate background buttons on the left the video goes away as it should but not always the audio (especially when I click while the video is still buffering). Is there a command I can use to kill the sound from the flvPlayback component and nothing else(I have a mp3 player there also I so I don't want to use the SoundMatrix class.
btw the videos are all played on an instance of the flvPlayback component.

That didn't work. I found this posting where someone claimed to access the netstream object in flvPlayback
video1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onVideoStateChange);
        private function onVideoStateChange(evt:VideoEvent)
            ns = evt.target.getVideoPlayer(evt.vp).netStream;
            video1.removeEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onVideoStateChange);
            setNetstreamObject();
I attempted to instantiate ns this way var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(); but the compiler was expecting a argument.
I'm about ready to ditch flvPlayback and try my luck with the NetStream class.

Problem: Audio from the video plays, but video does not show.

Hi,
I used the following code to play the video. The audio from the video plays displaying the player but there is no visual.
There is no problem with the video as I have tried several other videos with .mpg and .mov extensions.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MediaPanel {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Movie Player");
    static Player player = null;
    public MediaPanel(){
        try{ // method using URL
            URL url=new URL("file",null,"c:\\temp\\A.mpg");
            player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
        } catch( Exception e) {
            System.out.println(" Unable to create the audioPlayer :" + e );
        Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();
        frame.getContentPane().add( control, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                MediaPanel.stop();
                System.exit(0);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize( new Dimension(600,600) );
        frame.setVisible(true);
        player.start();
    public static void stop(){
        player.stop();
        player.close();
    public static void main( String args[]){
        MediaPanel panel = new MediaPanel();
}

use this code "Component control = player.getVisualComponent(); "
instead of this code " Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();"
But if you want show both of them, modify as following
Component control1 = player.getControlPanelComponent();
Component control2 = player.getVisualComponent();
then add the two control (control1 & control2 ) to your JFrame panel

My videos play with video/audio out of sync in itunes, what gives?

All of my itunes video library, including those purchased from the itunes store, play with the video/audio out of sync. However, if I use Quicktime, they play fine. I just noticed this recently with the latest update to itunes.

I found the solution using google search. Basically you have to downgrade your itunes software to version 10.7 and rebuild your library. Just type in iTunes audio/video out of sync on google search and you will find the solution I am talking about. I didn't think it would actually work because supposedly apple knows what it's doing but not in this case. Why they would put out a new version of itunes that makes none of your videos play right, even ones you purchased from itunes is beyond me but I'm sticking with version 10.7 for as long as I can.

Video Play hang/bug/freeze

Hello together,
i have 20 videos, which generate all the same effect on the playbook.
Copy to the playbook -- sucessful
find them in the video app -- sucessful
start them -- works, audio/video are visible
After playing 23-26s the video hangs up at last displayed frame. The position varies a little bit. The audio is still playing, the slider information on bottom tells me that the video is still running.
If i know choose a position somewhere in the video with the slider (it can be at 28s e.g.) the video is there again and playing for another 23-26s.
I can repeat this as often as i like.
Recopy videos or playbook restart are useless
This bug exists in several videos i tried until now. If needed i can provide a testvideo.
I hope it will be resolved. Is there a offical bugreport/bugtracker where i could post that?
Greetings,
Vinschni

non of my xvid movies do that, it is possible you have a corrupt video file and a PC plays it fine while the playbook wont.
can you try with a diff video to see if it is tue of not?

I have a number of H.264 videos in MP4 containers that only show a black screen when played on the iPhone, while the audio is played back as expected.

Audio Recording,Video Playing,Setting Video Quality

Hi
1) i have to record audio and save the mp3 or flv file to the server.is this possible throuhg lccs.
2) can i upload video files using lccs and paly back video files.
3)if i am using webCam pulisher for video publishing then how can i set the video quality to high low and medium.
i tried to use cameraModel for this purpose but there is no proprty of qulaity setting in the webCamPublisher.
if any one know the answer of any question kindly guide me.thanks

1) For very general questions such as this, please use the search
functionality on the forums and/or the google. "lccs recording" would work
pretty well.
2) Sorry, no - LCCS is focused on collaborative workflows, not video/audio
on demand.
3) Err... There's a quality property on Webcampublisher.

Some SWFs Play, Some Don't

I have three swf's out of about a dozen in my piece that
won't play. I've checked the settings on those that do and they
appear to match those that don't.
For example, in one section I start with an audio icon that
has a swf and several text supers off to the side that are timed to
the audio. When the audio ends, an erase icon clears the screen and
another sound bite starts, again with a swf and a couple of text
supers timed to the audio. The first swf plays fine, but on the
second one there's nothing except the supers.
In the other section with problems, there's an mpg, erase,
swf, mpg, erase, swf sequences. The mpg's play fine, along with the
audio, but the swfs do not. BTW, it plays fine on my development
machine.
I checked the forum for similar problems and the answers
given, especially by Steve Howard, but none of them seemed to fit.
What else can I look for?

If it plays fine on your development machine, then likelihood
is the
file can't be found. Does it play on your dev machine in
development and
when packaged? Just doesn't play packaged on other machines?
Web
packaged or local?
If the files are linked to externally, are you sure they can
be found by
the related sprites?
A test could be to import those that aren't playing into
their sprites
(assuming you have a unique instance of each per Flash file),
so they
are internal to the project. If they still don't play, there
could be
something wrong with those files. If they play, it would seem
to be a
path/location problem.

Need some help playing some frames...

I have a code that lets a character run across the stage. Once that character hits another character I want the character to play a specific frame and then go back to the begining spot which is frame 1. I can get the character to run across the stage and do a collision detection but can't get it to play the frame. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I'm using the below to try to get what I want. I'm getting all my traces, but not the movie clip.
[AS]
        function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
            if (player.hitTestObject(enemy2))
                trace("collision detection");
                var player_attack_mc2_cd_boolean:Boolean = true;
               //Attack mc2
                if (player_attack_mc2_cd_boolean == true)
                    player.gotoAndStop("player_attack_mc2");
                    trace("attack");
                    var player_attack_mc2_boolean:Boolean = true;
                if (player_attack_mc2_boolean == true)
                    player.gotoAndStop(1);
                    trace("goto frame 1");
[/AS]

Same thing with your next variable... totoally not needed. So your code:
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
            if (player.hitTestObject(enemy2))
                trace("collision detection");
                var player_attack_mc2_cd_boolean:Boolean = true;
               //Attack mc2
                if (player_attack_mc2_cd_boolean == true)
                    player.gotoAndStop("player_attack_mc2");
                    trace("attack");
                    var player_attack_mc2_boolean:Boolean = true;
                if (player_attack_mc2_boolean == true)
                    player.gotoAndStop(1);
                    trace("goto frame 1");
Becomes:
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
            if (player.hitTestObject(enemy2))
                trace("collision detection");
                  player.gotoAndStop("player_attack_mc2");
                  trace("attack");
                    player.gotoAndStop(1);
                    trace("goto frame 1");
Which of course isn't really going to work because you have player going to two places at the same time. You need to rethink your design here.

Jump to frame after video plays?

This should be easy to do but for the life of me I can't
figure it out.
I have a video play. Video is at frame 1.
At the end of the video I want it to jump to frame 2.
How do I do this?
HELP!

Give the FLVPlayback component instance name "player" and
place the following action on the timeline frame:
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) {
trace("done Video");
//some action here....
//an example of url call after video is done playing
gotoAndStop(2);});

Flash Video Play Does NOT Display Controls

I am using Flash Pro 8 - putting FLV files in SWF files using
Flash Pro 8 and then "publishing" to Html and SWF to a location on
my hard drive.
When I display the webpage from my Hard Drive from where ever
on my hard drive I initially published to from Flash 8 Pro -
everything works fine - videos play and video control bar shows and
works.
When I publish this website to web server the video displays
and plays but NO Video Controller Bar (at bottom of the video)
shows at all.
Symptom: when I make an Html, SWF and FLA file into a folder
on my hard drive and display them in the browser the video control
bar shows. When I copy those three files into the hard drive
website in FrontPage, the video shows but the video control bar
does not.
So, I re-made the Html, SWF, and FLA files and put them
directly into the FrontPage website (on my hard drive) then
everything works fine when I use broswer (IE 6 or Firefox). z
But, when I publish the hard drive website to the remote
website hosting company, the video control bar disappears -
everything else works fine (video shows OK just no video controller
bar.)
My guess is that the SWF file has a non-relative URL
reference concerning the video control bar and when the three files
(Html, SWF and FLA) are moved to new location then that
non-relative address rears its head.
I should NOT publish from Flash 8 Pro directly to remote
webserver as it has FrontPage Extensions and does not like to talk
to FTP changes to website not coming from FrontPage client.
is my guess right? What to do?????

Did you upload the skin swf file to your server also? That is
a common missed step.

IPad: After some minutes of playing a video screen turns green

After some minutes of playing a video from an iPad the screen turns green, what can I do?
I use the private release function of iTunes with an iPad (iOS 4.3.2) connected via wireless lan with my Mac (21,5", OS X 10.6.7).
Many thanks in advance!

Need much more information than this. What kind of movie? Is it from iTunes or a legitimate provider of movies? Or is it something else?

Having trouble playing some videos in IE9

Vista Home Premium SP2
32 bit
IE9 and Firefox 7
I am having a terrible time with flash in IE9. I can not access that hardware acceleration feature to turn it off. If I right click on the video box I just get my normal context menu. I went to the page where it gives me the version of Flash I am using. I right clicked in that box and got the correct meny, but the option "Settings" is grayed out so that I can't select it.
Amazon.com provides videos on some products. For instance, Command Hooks. I can go to one Command product and play the video. If I go to another Command product and try to play the video, most times it just continues to show "Loading ..." and sometimes it will tell me I have to download Flash version 9 or above; I already have version 11.
It's hard to explain because it is so whacky. I can play videos on Amazon in Firefox 7.
I can also play videos on YouTube -- most of the time. Whenever I go up to the address bar, click on the blue circle to "Turn off ActiveX Filtering" and the circle remains blue, I know I am not going to be able to play the video.
Under uninstall or change a program it shows Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin.
Please, please someone, help!

Can you turn off ActiveX Filtering completely: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968 ?
