Video decoder bug?

Some of the mp4 format videos on archive.org play back fine in iTunes or Quicktime, but during playback on the iPod there is a periodic glitch pop hiss static tick noise (working in all the synonyms to help text search find this post) in the audio.
It sounds to this programmer's ears like a playback buffer is not being initialized properly and is playing out static. This is a 30G iPod with the 1-10-2006 (1.1) update.
Here is a link to a file which exhibits the problem:
http://ia300125.us.archive.org/2/items/disorderin_the_court/disorder_in_the_court256kb.mp4
This question has come up a few times in October and November but was never answered. I had to kick it back to the top of the pile.

I'm not going to attempt to download the file because I'm sat working away beside a swimming pool and the hotel's wireless is patchy.
Problems with the 1.1 updater mostly affect 60GB iPods, but there are rarer reports of problems on 30GB machines. If you eventually can't find anything else to try and want to revert to a previous version, it should be on the CD that came with your iPod.
In the mean time, have you tried a reset (reboot) on your iPod?
1) Slide the lock button to ON.
2) Slide the lock button to OFF.
3) Press 'menu' and 'centre' button together for several seconds.
4) Follow the instructions.

Flash player always using software video decoding in Mac Mini 2011 w/HD6630M

Hello,
I have Mac Mini 2011 model with AMD Radeon HD6630M graphics.
Everything works perfectly on my system..games, videos in VLC,Quicktime..
Only problem is flash videos on youtube are always using software video decoding but using accelerated video rendering
Even in full screen or window mode its always the same!
I've tried all browsers..Opera, FireFox, Chrome, Safari..all have the same issue!
Even re-installed OS X Mavericks. Same Result!
I've used flash 11.9 & the Beta 12.xx as well..ran the flash uninstaller..nothing it just says the same!
I've checked the Hardware acceleration box & everything. Nothing seems to work!!
Seems to be an issue in Flash player with AMD graphics cards on OSX??
Please FIX!
What else am I supposed to do?? Please FIX your app!

Well i have about 30 days left before the return period is up for the Marantz. I just did a complete restore of my mac mini just about an hour ago. I havent noticed the problem yet but I've only been using it for an hour or so.
I suppose using it without my Marantz would be a good idea. If i see the screen flash out again now, i'll try just connecting to the tv and painfully suffer through the audio on my tv speakers. lol

Multi-threaded video decoding problem

I have simple AIR 3.8 application with 2 VideoPlayers:
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
applicationComplete="init()"
showStatusBar="false"
>
<fx:Script source="MultiVideoPlayer.as" />
<s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" >
<s:HGroup width="100%" height="100%" id="row1" >
<s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="100%" source="assets/2.mp4"/>
<s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="100%" source="assets/3.mp4"/>
</s:HGroup>
</s:VGroup>
</s:WindowedApplication>
Both videos are H.264 Full HD samples.
I launch application and multi-threaded decoding works fine - all cores are involved and CPU usage is around 70%.
When I replace source of VideoPlayers with exactly same files programmatically - videos are reloading, but they doesn't play smoothly and multi-threaded decoding isn't working anymore - CPU usage drops to 10%.
Is there any way to force use of multi-threaded video decoding when videos are loaded dynamically?

After some hunting I found a Twitter post confirming that StageVideo on AIR 3.2 is not supported on Desktop.
But one of the notable features of Flash Player 11.2 is Multi-threaded video decoding.
Does this mean that standard (non-StageVideo) implementations of Video are now automatically using a separate CPU thread?
If so, this would be a reasonable workaround for smooth video on Desktop.
Here's Adobe's description of the feature...very vague.
Multithreaded video decoding (Windows, Mac OS, and Linux) — The video decoding pipeline is now fully multithreaded. This feature should improve the overall performance on all platforms. Note that this feature is a significant architecture change required for other future improvements.

Multithreaded Video Decoding and Seek frame accuracy for seamless m4a loop

Hi everybody,
We read that flash 11.2 and Air 3.2 will improve the seek functionality.
Right now being able to select a part of a track and precisely loop it is very difficult and complex for an mp3 but impossible with an m4a due to NetStream.
So if you could let us know if the Multithreaded Video Decoding and Seek frame accuracy improvement in 11.2 and 3.2 will bring us a solution would be great!
Basically as m4a are local files does 11.2 and 3.2 will allow to seek not only to keyframes but anyframe? This is key functionality to all music applications. If not do you think it will come soon?
Thank You

Seamless looping using seek will not work very well. It will have to be a separate feature.
You could submit it as a feature request.

MBP 13-inch with Intel HD Graphics 3000 support Video Decode Acceleration?

Anyone know yet if the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset in the new MBP 13-inch supports the Apple Video Decode Acceleration Framework? I'm hoping so as Flash needs it for hardware acceleration--anything to make that dog work better.

Software-only video decoder in J2ME

I have developped a software-only video decoder, written entirely in pure J2ME MIDP/2.0. It decodes a 176x144 video at 12 fps. The codec is proprietary and has been developped specificly for that purpose. With this stuff, it is possible to play a video from a midlet (HTTP streaming supported) without relying on the video player installed on the phone (Oplayo, RealPlayer, etc...). The quality is not bad, and is similar to 3GPP. Encoding rates vary between 120 and 170 Kbit/s. It supports real-time overlays with transparency, so that you can put a translucent image on top of the video. Landscape mode is also supported.
I would like to have your opinion about this. Do you think this is something that can be valuable ? Do you see any immediate market for this ? Or do you think that this kind of initiative can't be seriously used since everybody today is focusing on MPEG4/3GPP. I am currently thinking on bringing this technology to the open source world but I need your ideas guys.

I've desperately trying to find someone who has already implemented a MIDlet that plays video and mp3 at the same time.
Have you ever heard about someone who's done this before?
Notice that it's 2 players here: a video (3gpp) and an mp3 player are playing at the same time.
My MIDlet is a dancing game where you select a song and command a character to make dance moves.
I've been having problems on some phones because when I start the video, the mp3 will stop playing. In other words I can't have the 2 players playing at the same time.

No Video Decoder available for this stream type (DVD Error -47003)

Hi all,
I am so confused, I have never had these sorts of issues before, now nothing works. In premiere pro I export a video as Microsoft DV/AVI, the compressor is DV(NTSC), pixel aspect ratio is D1/DV NTSC (0.9). Audio is uncompressed 48000Hz, 16 bit sterio.
When I import into Adobe Ecnore 1.5, all is fine untill I try to place chapters into video, no video in monitor window, and when I preview the whole thing and click on one of the buttons in my project I get the following error (Video Decoder available for this stream type (DVD Error -47003), and the screen is black.
Any help would be great.
Anthony

PPro/AME is using the Main Concept Encoder - in the Format menu there are three varieties of MPEG2 - but of course, they are not QT and I was being sloppy (and ignorant) in my description!
I have now tried as well, per your suggestion, DV AVI and uncompressed AVI, both generating the same error unfortunately - and again I tried an Animation QT, but same again.
The most bizarre thing is that the odd clip that does work I now find is 768x576 - I really can't understand why Encore is even letting that through the door, never mind previewing it. I just tried deliberately exporting one from PPro, but of course as expected Encore said it was the wrong size.
I rolled QT back to 7.1 - same error. Could roll back further I guess.....
The reliance on QT movies is largely my preference and habit I guess - all my work is cgi. In the first instance image sequences taken into After Effects for comp - writing them out from there as QT movies uncompressed/Animation, or Sorenson 3 for client preview is just something we are used to.
It does suck but I am close to resigning myself to following your suggested route of burning RW discs and testing them that way - annoying and frustrating.
One thing I have left is to move Encore to my other machine, a leaner and faster box that I use for my 3D work - as there's less on it perhaps it may be easier to pin down what is breaking the preview.
I have found reports of this error going back to 2005, but no solutions - like the first two posts, people seem confounded and unable to pin down a reason for it. Adobe's knowledgebase contains no result when I enter the exact error line either.
I'll see what I can find and come back to this thread with results positive or negative. Meantime I suppose I might be looking at upgrading after all....the problem is I have sufficient Adobe products that I should be, for economy sake, looking at one of the suite upgrades - I've already seen that's around £1,300, which firmly puts me between the proverbial rock and hard place!
Your help, Jeff, is much appreciated and I will post back on this thread when I have something, hopefully within a day or two.
Julian.

No hardware video decoding on ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

Hi all,
does anybody know why accelerated video decoding isn't avaiable on ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3xxx Series? From what I read in the corresponding KB article it works on the desktop counterparts that are based on the same hardware.
In my case I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 on a T400 with switchable graphics (same as reported in this thread). When watching a video on Youtube (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI3f4b-b8ig) and displaying video information it says "accelerated video rendering, software video decoding". So hardware video rendering works, but hardware video decoding doesn't! It's acceptable on my machine since it's equipped with a decent fast Intel P8400 CPU, but since my graphics card supports hardware decoding for h264 video it's just a waste of ressources.
Does anybody know if Adobe plans support forhardware decoding with these graphics cards? Or is there even a way to use hardware decoding although not fully supported?
Thanks
Eduard

If you read in graphics hardware support in some previous releases of Flash Player, flash video decoding support a.k.a. h.264 hardware video decoding is supported fully by ATi(or AMD) Radeon HD 4xxx and higher. The Radeon HD 3xxx and lower can't support h.264 video decoding for flash video decoding fully enough.

Video Driver Bug?

Ever since installing Yosemite on my Late 2012, 27" iMac, Adobe Photoshop has caused problems when opening and saving large images. The time of trouble is inconsistent. Once it starts, I have to close and open Photoshop for it to go away.
What happens is the image I am working on will get randomly tiles as if a mosaic.
Chris Cox posted on Adobe's site that this is a known bug due to faulty video drivers in OS 10.10 Yosemite. That forum says turning off "Use Graphics Processor" in Photoshop > Preferences > Performance solves the problem. He said Apple is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. That was posted December 3, 2014, two months ago.
I did that, now the magnifying glass works the way it did about three versions ago, and simple things like cloning have slowed down so that they are not in real time anymore.
Does anyone know? is this Apple's problem? If so, are they really working on it? Why is it taking so long?

Still the inconsistency between what xrandr reports and the real panel refresh is confusing me, and if the refresh isn't really changed, i can't explain the higher delay when switching to text tty.
Yes, the internal connection is known to be an LCD panel, whereas the VGA can be a CRT or an LCD. In the case of an LCD on a VGA connector, the controller receives and decodes the video signal and recovers the data, whatever the timing and format. Those data are then scaled to the native format of the LCD panel and are buffered in RAM. The backend reads data from RAM and drives the panel in use at the rate, in the format it demands.
I cannot really speak to the inconsistency regard xrandr and the actual refresh rate. I can envision some scenarios, but they would just be hypotheses.
One interesting thing about LCDs -- They don't flicker like CRTs. LCDs shutters pretty much remain static from frame to frame, emitting light for the entire period. CRTs only emit light from a pixel after it has been illuminated by the sweeping electron beam. This is why it is possible to photograph LCD displays at arbitrary shutter speeds. This does mitigate most of the need to drive the panel at one rate or the other. The only real issue is that, in order to eliminate mid-field tearing by synchronizing to a non-native frame rate, requires dropping frames when going from 60->50Hz or doubling frames when going from 50->60Hz.

Navigator Console video display bug

Hi!
I've tested video streams with WebCamera example from SDK and tried Video display from console.
And looks like there are bug, in app this video looks as expected, but in console it was cropped
Here are screenshot. I've used latest Navigator, downloaded from my account, to fix that bug with updater.

Huh, that's a weird little bug - thanks for taking the time to report it to
us (and with a great screenshot to help as well - other forum posters, take
note =) ). We'll file this bug internally and try to get it fixed in an
upcoming SDK release (should be a few weeks).
thanks again!

Music & Video App Bugs in iOS 8

Probably mentioned before but it looks like the Music and Video Apps are suffering from a few bugs. These issues are identical on my iPhone 5s and my iPad Air after updating to iOS8.
Album art that previously appeared in front of a Playlist's title in the Music App has disappeared.
I'm seeing the same band listed twice in the Music App, under 'A' for the bands name and under 'T' for "the". The 'T' is following directly after the 'A', making it weirder.
In the Video App, some TV Show titles, and all Music Videos have lost their album art work. Oddly, the Movie titles seem unaffected.
-m

This isn't a Music app issue, per se, but it is related, so I'll put it here.
On my iPhone 5s, the volume control on the lock screen is now very close to the transport control buttons, so much so that it can be almost impossible to adjust the volume without activating one of the transport buttons instead. This is especially frustrating when listening to iTunes Radio as I will frequently activate the Skip button, which not only skips the song, of course, but inadvertently reduces my skip count. Since nothing else seems to have changed in the lock screen's layout, this repositioning makes no sense.

IPod Video Volume Bug

Hello everybody
I have a problem with the volume for music videos.
if I play them and move the volume up to maximum then the volume is much lower, if I do the same with audio files. funny is, when is choose maximum volume and stop the video and play it again - the volume is much better. but if I touch the wheel, the volume will go down again.
hopefully this is a firmware/software bug. maybe it helps to reset the iPod, but I dont find a description for that.
(sorry for my bad english) thanks, tonic

It does sound like you need to reset the IPOD. If you are using a Mac, you will find the software already on there. Go to:
Applications>Utilities>Ipod Software Updater
You can also download it at:

2014 Video Usage Bug?

I just updated to version 2014.0 / 8.0.0
Win 7 Pro
I frequently use the Video Usage feature in the project window by clicking on the arrow next to the number of instances shown to locate all instances of a clip in a sequence(s).
Since updating to the new version, when I click on the arrow nothing happens. Has this feature been removed or is it s bug? I certainly hope it has not been removed, I rely heavily on this feature.

Samsung Video Flashing Bug

I found a bug in the current version of the firmware (version 1024) for the Samsung TV UN55D8000. I just wanted to let people be aware of the issue.
The issue is that the app flashes black when a video attempts to loop.
I have the stageVideo seek to the start to its 0 point when the netstream reports that the video has reached its end.
When the video loops, the entire app flashes to a black screen for a split second.
This is NOT a problem on the Broadcom developer box or on TiVo devices - just the above mentioned Samsung TV. Therefore, I assume this is a Samsung bug.

Thanks for sharing the info.

Messages video chat bug

Whenever I try video calling a person on Messages, they dont recieve the call even though it tells me it's calling them. Also, whenever someone calls me, the green light pops up by my webcam but i dont recieve the message to accept the video call. Is this a fixable bug?

Hi,
This is most likely about whether the video ports Messages uses are open in your router.
Out going calls (The Visible Invite to your Buddy) can create the return being accepted. (or the next Invite from them).
However Messages then moves to port 16402 and send an SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) invite behind the scenes.
This is a text based protocol that acts a bit like a Telephone Operator to connect Messages.
It confirms that where you sent the invite is where the reply is coming from.
It also confirms the ports to be used in a Video chat (16402 by first choice)
I would set your router to use UPnP to allow ports if the router has it.
I would also check the System Preferences > Security And Privacy > Firewall tab > Firewall Options button is allowing Signed Software and that Messages and IMAgent are in the list.
