Sound and Video are choppy when running on battery

When I try to watch a DVD the video and sound is choppy or if I just listen to a CD or MP3 the sound is choppy. I think that I set all of the power options to maximum performance while on battery but that did not seem to make a difference. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks

I went through an annoying password reset process to post on here, haha, I was experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it for a flash animation I was making that was going to be sent out; thus fixing it for myself wouldn't change things for others. I know this is old, but if anyone is in this position, I hope it helps.
I was using Swish Max for my scenario.
Under the Export Settings, I found that by default it was using SWF Version: SWF8 - when it had the option to go up to SWF10. I changed it to 10, and set the hardware acceleration to Level 1 - Direct.
I exported, and it still didn't work. The music was choppy as heck and terribly inconsistent with speed. I even created a preloader, which appeared to work but didn't resolve my issue.
FINALLY, I kept it at version 10, and found that it had an option that said "Preload Content: Disabled." I set that to "At Preload Frame" and though I had a loading animation setup to do the preloading, I still placed a preloadcontent keyframe at frame 1. Then I set Hardware acceleration to Level 2-GPU and exported.
IT WORKED. The terrible, seemingly non-fixable audio cracking lag was gone and it worked flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone, I originally found this when I was trying to find a fix for the issue.

Sound and video are choppy since installing Flash Player 11.3

I'm having a problem here! Since I updated Adobe Flash Player 11.3, the audio and video are all choppy when I play Adobe Flash game apps in Facebook! Even when I disabled hardware acceleration, the sound and video are STILL choppy! Even I watch a YouTube video and the sound and video are a bit choppy! There's DEFINITELY some sound issues in Flash Player 11.3! I'm using Firefox 13 in Windows XP SP3. I'm wondering if you have any answers for the sound issues in FP 11.3.

URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
I've tried all of the following:
1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
4. restarting my computer
The only things I have not done are the following:
1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
2. recreating the project
3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
#2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
Please help!

Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

The sound and video become unsynchronized when the off-line recording was created.

Hello,
I recorded a 1.30 hour meeting by using Adobe Connect. I want to edit the file and split in small time. So I save the recording in local by clicking "Make Offline". When I play back the file from local, the sound and video become unsynchronized.
Any idea and how to sort it out.
Thanks in advance,
Nicho

As I recall, there is an issue with Windows 8 and the offline recording function. Not sure if you are using Windows 8, but it may be worth trying to do it on another computer.
However, before you go down that road, know that the FLV versions of the meeting recordings are notoriously difficult to edit. If you don't need to have the recordings in a different format, I would recommend that you do the following instead (will be much faster overall).
Take the URL for your meeting recording and add /output/YourNameHere.zip?download=zip. You can name the zip file whatever you want. This will pull the recording source files down to your local computer. Next, browse to a desired location in your Content library in Connect and re-upload that zip file. You can name it whatever you want, and even create a custom URL for it. Once it is uploaded you will have a second version of the same recording on your server. Just re-upload that zip file as many times as needed. You can then edit each version of the recording separately, allowing you to create as many versions of the recording as needed.

Sound and video become unsynced when recording

I've been capturing Hi8 tapes via a Sony digital-8 camera using Quicktime's record feature. I've noticed a very big and annoying problem. As the video is recording the sound gradually unsyncs from the video. The sound starts to get further and further behind the video. By the end of a 2 hour tape it's like 5 seconds off. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone know how to fix it? I know it's not the tapes because they play fine on the camera. The same thing also happens when capturing using iMovie. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Some more info...
I'm importing a series of home movies that were recorded over the course of 20 years using 2 different video cameras. This issue appears to only be happening when I import video from the older tapes (the ones recorded with the first camera). My hunch is that these were recorded with 12 bit audio and quicktime is expecting 16 bit. I'm going to try and re-import an older tape and switch the bit rate on the camcorder to 12 bit to see if that fixes the problem.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC Tv app on my apple tv take a long time to download my videos and they are choppy, how can I resolve this issue? My apple TV is running off of WiFi in my apartment.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC TV along with other apple TV apps, take a very long time to download the video and they are choppy when running. My apple TV runs off of WiFi in my apartment. When trying to download updates, it take a long time and then a video screen with "This Update was not Successful. Apple TV couldn't be downloaded at this time. Try again later." What can I do to resolve this issue? I purchased this apple TV in May 2013 new.

That will be an issue with the network
What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general -network)
Since you are in an apartment the local wifi network is more prone to interference, try ethernet

Will movies play okay on the ATV2 if they are choppy when they play on the computer?

I would like to buy an ATV2. I do have some dvds that I have already ripped to a computer, but the videos are choppy when played with itunes on that computer. The movies play fine on other computers. Will the ATV have problems pulling video from the computer?

Thank you for the swift reply. I went ahead and bought it. Let me tell you, this thing is magic. The movies play choppy on the PC like I said, but play flawlessly on the ATV even while the PC is encoding another movie.
Sounds as though the PC is struggling to decode the movie on the fly - h264 is more intensive to encode/decode than MPEG2 - however the underlying bitrate for AppleTV compatible files is quite low and most computers would be able to stream them even if they struggled to decode them - appleTV does the grunt work of decoding and displaying so the PC is not stressed by just streaming.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive. I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive. I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected. I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions? I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

The file sizes are identical. In the finder I did a search for all .mov files. Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find. I am a new mac user and am used to windows. I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me. I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto. Then the videos worked again. However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that. Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality. Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
Thanks,

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

My videos are choppy and I don't know what to do

Using iTunes 6, all of my videos are choppy and won't play correctly. Even the ones that I buy from the music store won't play right. I can open them in QT and they play normally, but if I try to play them through iTunes, it works very poorly.
I was thinking that this was because I haven't upgraded to iTunes 6.0.1, but when I tried twice before, I had to do the whole misconfig deal, and that was too much for me to handle. Any suggestions?

Why can't I get alert tones when I send or receive email. I checked Sounds and volumes are at max.

Why can't I get alert tones when I send or receive email. I checked Sounds and volumes are at max.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

G5 PowerBook; Intel cpu; recently upgraded 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 also upgraded to iLife6. After several downloads suggested from Apple, iMovie6 is a mess. Clip indicator runs 3 clips ahead of the sound and video. Jerky. Unusable. All the movies were created with iMovie 4 and loaded all into this version and saved all in this version.
Video card is GeForce FX 5200; Quartz Extreme: Supported: Core Image: Hardware Excelerated.
Perhaps in the multiple downloads, Apple sent me a version that outruns my aged video card?
Help is most appreciated

The uptime of your Mac is more than 10 days. How about a simple reboot?
