Strange drastic video playback lag. Help!

I will keep this short and to the point.
I can open and play video just fine be it a image sequence to a hand drawn frame animation with hundreds of complex layers animating at once but as soon as sound is included I have a 20+ second wait before normal playback. For example even adding a couple seconds OS sound file on a default Photoshop file it scrubs fast but gives you 20+ seconds of the loading cursor each time you press play before ruining smoothly and happens regardless to if you mute it or not.
Reinstalling and resting preferences doesn't help and I can't find anyone else with this.

  • ITunes video playback lags badly ever since 10.3.6

    I am now running 10.3.7 and iTunes 10.5.3 on a 2011 MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz, i7. 8GB RAM) and video always stutters or lags in iTunes, even without any other applications open and offline. I have tried zapping pram and the usual tactics for things like this, and hoped the update to 10.3.7 would solve it but no luck.  Help?

    Just updated iTunes to most recent version. Now I'm getting jerky video playback in BOTH iTunes and QT Pro (latest version). CPU use is very high but random; ditto with video playback (i.e., doesn't hang up on the same scene/time).
    I had this issue a little over a year ago after updating iTunes to the then latest version. Got nowhere with Apple's "Service" texts. I played around with configs for a while and also re-installed iTunes. It has worked fine until yesterday (same symptoms as last time). As for the past "fix": nothing I can hang a hat on. Methinks Apple updated the version I re-installed with (tho' the version # was unchanged).

  • S540 HD video playback lags

    Hello, 
    I have a brand new Lenovo s540 laptop.
    There is a problem with HD video playback. 1080p and 720p video playback is laggy. Each 2-3 seconds it gets frozen for 0.2 - 0.5 seconds. I have downloaded all latests drivers from Lenovo web site (except bios update, does it make sens to update bios?).
    It didn't help.
    OS is windows 8.1 64 bit, all updates are installed.
    Also, have tested my PC using 3dmark tools, it shows very poor results - 2 times less than their "Ultralight notebook" reference.
    Would you suggest, how to fix this?
    Thanks

    my config is: i7, SSD, 8GB RAM, intel HD Graphics and Radeon HD 8600M

  • Video playback lagging while buffering

    Having a problem with video in my iPad app. The video is loaded from a server into an FLVPlayback component. While the video is buffering, the video playback is extremely choppy (like 1-2 FPS), but as soon as the buffering is complete, it plays smoothly. So obviously, the buffering itself uses too many resources (I've tested both on an iPad Mini and an ancient iPad 1).
    Is there any way to reduce the resource usage of the buffering process so I can start playing before buffering is complete? YouTube is able to buffer while playing the same devices, so it should be possible. The videos are pretty low quality and around 70mb, and the bufferTime is default, not that that should make a difference.

    But that's not the problem. The problem is that I cannot play the video smoothly while buffering is going on. It doesn't matter how much has actually buffered. It's as if the iPad's CPU is too bogged down by the buffering to play video at the same time, but I don't understand why, since YouTube and other apps (not made by me) are obviously able to do it on the same iPads.

  • Help: embedded video playback lag

    I'm trying out flash 8 pro, i have a video that I have
    embedded in the swf, during playback it gets to the end of the
    video and seems to hang or lag for a few seconds, skipping frames
    and starting again after skipping frames. Any thoughts on how to
    fix this?
    I thought I should add that it hangs at the last frame of the
    video, showing the final frame image during the hang.

  • Journe air 1000 - video playback lags after converting to mjpeg

    Hello,
    i have bought 2 journe air 1000 photo frames, and i'm trying to play video on them.
    To convert the video files i'm using the provided software that was in CD that came with the frame - ArcSoft video converter 2.5, which converts the video to a MJPEG avi file with quite poor sound quality.
    And the main problem is that, video starts to lag after some time, there is no sync between sound and video, and eventually it crashes.
    Also some video track just crash straight away..
    I have 2 files, one is 30 mins long and the other is 10 min long, both experience the same symptoms, on both frames.
    I have tried to use newer arcsoft converter software, different converters, tried splitting the files to smaller segments but to no avail...
    It just like there's some buffer in the frames that fill's up and the video starts to lag.. anyone experienced that?
    Maybe there's some other codec that this frame supports except mjepg? i have tried some (mpeg4, divx, xvid) but it didnt work, it doesn't even play mjpeg mov's, just avi's...
    Any ideas how to fix it?
    thanks.

    yes i have tried loads of other formats: with mjpeg movs i get some flickering sound and black screen, and with all the others (h264, mp4 and so on) - "decode failed" and i haven't found anywhere in specs that it supports anything else except mjpeg avi..
    maybe some specific setting need to be applied to other formats? has anyone else succeeded in playing other formats? what settings did you use?
    thanks

  • WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

    hi slideaway!
    my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
    good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Strange thin line of 'noise' across all video playback

    Hey, another problem I'm currently having... for no reason my mac has started displaying a flashing line of what I can only describe as 'noise', it's very thin only a few pixels high but as wide as the video playback. This happens in FCP on my viewer window and also in quicktime, not all the time but most of the time.. it also displays on other video playback software.
    Any ideas? I can take a screen shot if that helps...
    Thanks!

    There are many people using iMacs including myself who've developed random lines of random pixels, usually confined to the current window.
    The machines have also become prone to hangs/freezes when these lines appear.
    It is suspected that the problem is related to overheating in some way, as it can be improved by ramping up fans speeds using smcFanControl.
    Most attribute it to overheating/faulty garphics cards but logic boards might also be implicated. It's been seen on the iMacs with ATI and nVidia cards, and on Leopard/Tiger.
    It seemed to appear for me after a software update (early 2008 security update I think), and while that may be coincidence, I do wonder if a bug has been introduced somewhere.

  • Help with detecting child video playback end

    I have a flash file that plays multiple videos. I'm trying to
    set it up so that all of the videos are loaded by a second (child)
    swf, imbedded in the first. The first (root) would call the second
    (child) swf, play the video, and at the end of the video, playback
    of the parent swf would resume. I can't seem to figure out how to
    do this. If I try to make a call to the root from the second swf, I
    of course can't because it doesn't know the root exists. The parent
    (root) swf has the following code on the frame that calls the
    child:
    ~~~
    stop();
    var loadVideo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("videoinset.swf");
    var videoLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    videoLoader.load(loadVideo);
    // Identifies which frame to play in inset video
    var vidclip:String = "intro";
    function swfLoaded(myEvent:Event):void {
    stage.addChild(videoLoader);
    var mycontent:MovieClip=myEvent.target.content;
    videoLoader.x = 210;
    videoLoader.y = 150;
    mycontent.gotoAndPlay(vidclip);
    videoLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    swfLoaded);
    ~~~
    How can I tell it that when the child gets to frame(#), to go
    back to the root and resume play?
    I am using netstream to play the videos. There are 6, each
    called by a different frame in the videoinset child swf.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Any help with this really would be appreciated; if I have not
    explained it clearly enough, by all means please let me
    know.

    Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me. Copy your video(s) to a flash drive and then play them from there. It's a workaround and you shouldn't have to do it but it does allow you to watch the videos.

    Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
    Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

    Lindsay,
    Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
    Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
    It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
    I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
    Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

  • Please Help - Video Playback Problems

    I have followed all the instructions provided by iTunes support in an attempt to fix problems with video playback. They did not help. I downloaded 4 video files that would have smooth audio sound but skip and freeze continually throughout the entire video.
    This problem 1st occurred right after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and then a purchased video. One point of interest is that all of my old video files from earlier versions of iTunes still work fine as they always did.
    Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue?

    I have had the same problem. I even bought a new 256mn video card and it did nothing. I have done everything i-tunes website suggest and nothing has helped.

  • Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

    I looked all over on how to fix this..
    So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
    After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
    But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..

    If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
    There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.
