Streaming video pauses while the audio continues to play

I am using Firefox 3.6.12 on a Desktop pc with Windows 7 x64 os. Recently the streaming video will pause, or freeze, but the audio will continue playing. After a second or two the video will catch up with the audio and everything is in sync. This happens frequently during the course of the video being played. It has happened on both Hulu.com and Netflix.com. The buffering is good at 480, usually with 3 to 4 bars.

(If you are reading the email I suggest you follow the email link to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929459#answer-341531 this information is formatted to be read on the website)
Sorry I can not give an immediate solution.
There seem to have been a few problems with Flashplayer recently. The sound problem was thought to have been solved, but has been around for a while.
#Please state what version of FlashPlayer you are currently using.
# then update to the current version, and confirm what version that is
* note the Flash site will check this for you and provide any download you need with Flash enabled in Firefox navigate to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
As you have Win7 may I ask you to try using Internet Explorer and say whether or not that also suffers this problem?
Please also confirm which version of Firefox you are using? (note a minor update could be released this week so are you on 13'''.0''' )
* To check the version navigate to ''about:support'' Key in about support into the Firefox address bar

When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post
Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

Youtube video's seem to "freeze" the image while the audio continues playing. Never had that problem with Internet Explorer...how can I fix this?

I used to use a different...server?...Internet Explorer. Before, when I used that, I could watch video's on youtube and they would run smoothly-image and sound in perfect sync. Now that I'm using Firefox per suggestion of a computer savvy friend, I can't watch youtube vid's in the same way. Most of the time, the audio will keep playing, but the image will stop. The only way I've discovered to prevent this is to be playing with the mouse on the side of the screen constantly. (which, when playing music video's for background while cooking dinner in the kitchen, it's rather impractical to be running back and forth to be playing with the mouse)
I'm not a very computer savvy person. I'm using a laptop...it's an Acer...I think I have either Windows Vista or Windows 7...

Thank you very much.
I scanned my computer and see that it is not a virus problem. The problem lies with FoxNews.com not being compatible with the latest Flash Player or plug-in. I can view on-site videos from within Firefox on all sites except FoxNews. It is the only site that has a huge separating space in the middle of the front page. and that displays a large area of code words where it should have an ad: "clicksor_default_url = '';clicksor_banner_border = '#99CC33'; clicksor_banner_ad_bg = '#FFFFFF';clicksor_banner_link_color = "
I ran the super bug-killer "ComboFix" (thinking the code was from the "Clicksor" virus) and was relieved to discover that it wasn't a virus.
I can easily view videos on FoxNews from within Internet Explorer (and there is no "clicksor" code displayed in IE either). The problem lies somewhere within the Firefox version of Adobe's Flash Player /plug-in or FoxNews' incompatible code. Users are being kept up-to-date with the latest Adobe updates, but FoxNews must be using old software and needs to catch up. There must be a lot of people having this problem.

Why do my clips stop playing the video even though the audio continues?

While I am in Viewer, I try to play my clips that I have uploaded from iMovie (because the same jerky problem would happen when I tried to capture the video into FCE). The video would begin to successfully play, then the audio would continue and the video would stop. Why is this and how can I change this? Thanks in advance.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Welcome to the forum.
Be sure that your sequence's settings (see easy setup command in Final Cut Express HD menu) match the format for your video material (like DV NTSC or PAL or HDV) before capture anything. Pay attention to shoot with a 16 bit audio mode, not 12 bit, and use a 48kHz setting for audio in easy setup dialog.
FCE HD can only edit natively standard DV or HDV media captured on tape based camcorder.

Screen recording-video pauses while audio continues

When I make a screen recording, the audio and video are playing perfectly (I use soundflower for the audio). However, when I go to watch my screen recording, it starts off like normal but about 30 seconds into the video, the video pauses while the audio continues playing like normal. Any reason as to why this is happening? I'm not just recording my screen but also a video from a website, don't know if that makes a difference.
Thanks

I am having the same issue I posted this elsewhere
I have a Mid 2010 Mac Mini Server (full specs below) and very recently it has developed a strange problem. I'll be watching something on iTunes and the video will stop but the audio continues. If I move the mouse and click on the screen the video suddenly plays very fast untill it catches up with the audio and then for a while it will play normally. I can go through this process 3-4 times an hour before I give up and stream to my iPad instead.
in the beginning it only happened when I was using the HDMI cable but recently it happens when the mini VGA adaptor is plugged in too.
its beginning to be very frustrating so any help would be truly appreciated.
thanks

Youtube streaming on IPhone 4. Unwatchable video stuttering. Audio continues to play flawlessly. Video is completely buffered. Fix?

Hi there,
I've been having issues streaming Youtube videos on my IPhone 4 for awhile now, but it just recently escalated. Videos stutter like crazy right from the beginning, even on 360p or 240p. The video is buffered. The audio continues to play flawlessly, even when the video is moving at 1-2FPS. My connection on my IPhone is a solid 25Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I've tried closing all other apps, soft-resetting, restarting the Youtube app, and even watching video on the Youtube mobile site. The issue also seems to extend to all streaming video viewable on my IPhone over the internet, regardless of the website. This has only been an issue since iOS7.
Please help in any way you can.
Regards,
Ryan

Why is my picture freezing but audio continuing to play during playback off itunes?

The tv show is playing fine and then the picture suddenly freezes but the audio continues to play.

Seems like this is a new issue then. I've reset and restored and still doing it. Freezing about every10 minutes now. Was going to head to the Apple Store thinking it was an issue with mine. Hope this is resolved soon!

I pause my video and the audio continues...if I play again it causes a major headache. Help?

This might be an easy to answer question, but I am making my second video, so I'm not too knowledgeable. Anyway, I imported audio into my video and it plays back fine. So I play the video, and pause it to try and synchronize the audio. The video stops, but the audio keeps playing, and it will not stop until the whole thing has played. If I try to start from the beginning again and play the audio to sort of override it, it just overlaps with the original audio, and the resulting noise gives me a headache. I don't know if somehow I can stop the audio a portion of the way through, but if I can, that would be great. It would make syncing a whole lot easier. Thanks!

Ok, so I had a .m4a file on my computer, which I then turned into an mp3 using the adobe media encoder. I imported the mp3 using File-Import-Import to Library, and then I created a separate layer for the file and dragged the audio from the library onto the stage while I was on that layer. The layer now had a sound file on it, and I put a keyframe a ways ahead on the timeline so I could see the audio layer. I then played it back using the play button underneath the timeline to begin syncing my animation with the audio that I had imported. I stopped it, a little late as it turned out, but the music continued to play. It would not stop until it had gone through the whole song. While the song was playing I tried starting it from the beginning again, but the new sequence overlapped with the old one so they played together out of time, creating a very unpleasant noise. They both had to finish before I could play it back again to try and sync my animations more precisely. If I could pause the video (again, I'm using that little button at the bottom left of the timeline) and stop the audio, syncing would be so much easier, and I assumed there was a way to fix this. I am working with Flash Professional CS5.5. Thanks for your consideration!

When watching video the video will slowdown while the audio is fine.

When I'm watching a video the video portion will slow down several times while the audio is fine. I usually have to pause the video until it catches up to the audio to continue to watch it. I ran task manager in Win XP and noticed that when this problem occurs, Firefox is running at 98-100% of CPU usage. What might be causing this issue and how can I resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Html5 videos: video periodically freezes while audio continues to play. Firefox 12, Linux, Centos 5 up to date.

whenever I view a YouTube video on my linux box (Centos 5.8, fully updated) using Firefox12, YouTube always delivers the html5 video to me instead of Flash. This would be fine, but intermittently the video stops moving (while the audio keeps playing). I click the (I don't know what it's called) slider for the current position and the video will start moving again. until it pauses next time, anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
I don't know why it delivers html5 instead of flash, on my laptop using centos 6 and firefox12 I get flash video. Is there someway to configure Firefox to get flash instead? If not, I'd appreciate help in fixing the pausing video component.

Video audio continues to play in the background

I have created a close button that should stop the video from playing, thus closing out of the video and returning to the main menu. But the video audio continues to play in the background.
Does anyone know how I can get the video to pause/stop playing at the same time as it returns to the main menu and after clicking on the close button?
This is what I have to play the video:
var videoStage = sym.$("videoPlayStage");
videoStage.html('<video id="myvideo" width= "640" height= "360" src = "composition2/myvideo.mp4" poster="images/poster" type= "video/mp4" controls = "controls"></video>');
sym.$("videoPlayStage").show();
close button
I have a trigger:
"off"
sym.$("#D39").pause();
It is not working.

Here is the code that I put on my close button to make the video pause when closed ("Nat_League_Back" is the place on the timeline that I want to direct the user to when the video is closed):
sym.play("Nat_League_Back");
// Pause a video track
sym.$("BaseballVideo")[0].pause();

I have a new Macbook Pro. When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues. When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

I have a brand new Macbook model A1502. I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos. I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted. I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems. Can anyone help me please? This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use. Thanks in advance

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.

How can I cut a section of video, but leave the audio playing?

iMovie 6
Hi, I want to edit, or remove a small section of video, but leave the audio playing in the background. I want to just put up a picture in the same spot. But, I need the video's audio to keep playing. I videotaped someone speaking, but there is a section where there is a mistake, namely, the camera was moved. I need to keep the audio going, and figured I would just put a still image of text or picture in the section where the mistake is, that's why I need the audio to keep playing. It's too long of a section to just do a transition to cover the mistake. Can someone help me with this? I guess you could call what I want to do is cut to a still image while the audio keeps playing?
Thanks

Is there a way to make the audio continue when the page is turned?

Can I make the audio continue while a reader turns pages in iBook? With everything I've tried the music shuts off as soon as the page is turned. Thanks for any insight.

Latest: Working in Pages actually seems to work for this! Place the audio file in Pages (drag and drop works just fine), make sure the audio is inline (not floating) export Pages to ePub and run the Book Proofer . . . once you click to start the audio, the audio plays until the end, regardless of where you are in the book, it keeps playing. Minor victory because you loose a bit of the layout features that iBook Author has, but the audio now functions the way I was hoping.
