Video freezing and stuttering watching a film

Thought i would treat myself and download heroes season three from itunes, pressed play and was treated to a image that stop froze and jumped. my comp has been updated to 10.4.11 and i'm running quicktime 7.6 pro. Looked at some of the threads and i don't seem to be running any components listed as messing with qt. What should i see in the qt components? and should i erase any of the others.
thanx mona

Are they HD quality? If so you have nowhere near the power in that iBook to play them, not even close. SD should play OK, as they do say a G4 1 Ghz or more.

I'm Having problems with the video freezing and the sound carrying on since I up graded my iPad to ios8 BBC IPLAYER

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.

No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.

IMovie 4 freezing and stuttering

Here's my new thread to my old problem:
Installed new OX 10.3.9 bundled with iMovie 4 and QT 7. iMovie 4 does not work at all, even for simple video projects -- freezes and stutters and impossible to use. Problem is not related to number of audio clips -- adding just one audio clip greatly exacerbates the problem. Have added RAM and have plenty of available GB. Tried changing default H.264 setting within Quicktime (as suggested in QT thread). Still no improvement. It's been suggested that my system is inadequate, although per system reqs, mine should do. It's also been suggested that iMovie 4 and QT 7 are a troubled couple and just don't get along, but have not found a way to downgrade to QT 6. (The downgrader suggested only works for 7.0.1 or something; I have 7.1.3.)
My question now is: can I install a new version of iMovie that has the right version of Quicktime? What about iLife 5, which my system supports, at least for iMovie, which comes with QT 6.5.2? Will it overwrite my newer QT?
I know iMovie 2 is stable, and I could go back to it, but it's such a pain to switch operating systems, and that version is relatively primitive, so I'm really hoping to stabilize my new system. Then, I'll leave it alone!
Thanks for any advice ...

Hi
I think Sue "SDIllini" use to know how and where to find it. Try the search
function in this forum.
My main advice is: Never change anything during a movie project. One never
knows what will happen and what new buggs that are introduced.
I have on my "reliabe" Mac: Mac OS X.3.9 + QT 6.5.2 + iMovie 5.0.2

Skype on Microsoft Lumia 535 freezes and stutters

Hello dear Microsoft, I am really happy with my Microsoft Lumia 535. Great phone, great price. Skype however (which is the prime application) really behaves bad though.It freezes and stutters all the time.For example, to open the app it takes very long. To see my recent contacts takes another 30 seconds or so. To type a message to a contact takes another 30 seconds and while typing it freezes and stutters again.The performance sucks, in short.Are we expecting an update soon? This is a really bad situation, where skype on other platforms runs like a charm, but on MS's own mobile platform, just sucks.... Hope this gets resolved very, very soon! Regards, Sijmen Koffeman

Hi, After I used the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (link:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/phones-and-hardware/recover-my-phone) and restored my phone, Skype is running without any problems.Be advised that you should make a backup of your data and settings if you use that tool. Good luck, Si.

Videos freeze and crash PC in itunes and QuickTime

I have Wndows Vista 32 home premium - latest versions of iTunes and QuickTime will not play back music videos I downloaded via iTunes. Videos hang and PC freezes up. These are m4v format videos.

Sounds like you had the same problem I did. Computer would pretty much die when trying to watch video or sync video or photos to my iPod. Moving them to an external hard drive and everything works great again.

Videos freeze and distorted sound

Hi,
about a week ago i bought the HP Pavilion 15 notebook PC, windows 8-64 bit, Product number: F4T60EA#ABU
that has an intel i5 processor and ITB memory. About a few days after using it the HP support asisstant program suggested a sort of system update that led me to the HP website and i followed the instructions etc.
Unfortunately since then i have been having trouble with any videos i watch online (youtube, streaming etc). The video freezes for a second randomly and then the sound distorts and then the video goes back to playig as normal...this distortion happens every 5-10 seconds of video playing....I have tried uninstalling Flash player and reinstalling the latest version, however this has not helped. I dont really use my laptop for much accept bits of work and the internet so i ahvent downloaded anything that could possibly be the cause.
Please help!
Thank you

Hi numar96, sorry to hear that you are having issues with watching videos. I have had this issue in the past and what I have found resolves the issue is changing the Refresh Rate on the display. I have a short YouTube video that explains how to change the Refresh Rate. Please click on the link that I have provided to get to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzfcxcdKRKo
If this does NOT resolve the issue, please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi there
Firstly I dont get sound lags just video Lags When I play games such as FIFA08 or Kane and Lynch on Vista or XP while playing it jerks and stutters for a few seconds then continues like normal then it does it again and so on this is the first time Ive had this problem and it has to be something I did wrong because other people's 8800GT is working fine with all
the driver versions Im busy running memtest on my pc at home now as we speak
That's loading game data on the fly, it's down to your hard drives.

Suddenly freezes and stutters

My movie project is now 32 minutes long and when doing a playback of the clips at the end of the project they freeze and stutter. The clips at the beginning are fine.
I have deleted the prefs file, restarted, put the playback on standard. But no help. Can anyone help?
OS 10.5.8
iMovie HD 6.03
2GHz Intel Core Duo
1,5GB RAM
26,62 GB free on Hard Disk

If the problem is not enough storage space, then increasing your space is what you need to do, as Catspaw and Karsten have suggested.
My guess is that the stuttering will not carry over to your final burned DVD. But but it is pesky for editing playback. Toggling back and forth between small and full screen sometimes can help you through the stuttering.
For the heck of it, you might try opening a new blank iMovie project, and then opening your current project so that the windows of the two projects display side by side. Then drag or copy-paste the offending clips from your current project into the new project. They may not stutter there, in which case you can edit them in the new project and then drag or copy-paste them back into your current project.

You can defrag my connecting the phone in data transfer and the use Microsoft Defrag.

30GB Video freezing and skipping

When I am running on the treadmill with my black 30GB video attached to my shorts my iPod skips and freezes. I can start a song before I begin running, but after I start running if I try to change the song it will not play the next song until I hold the iPod still. Almost like a CD player without skip protection. I am guessing it has something to do with the HHD. I would like a confirmation on that though or any other thoughts.
TIA

Hi,
Thanks for replying to my thread. But I do not agree with you about the hard drive memory fact. I am well aware that these iPods contain moving part, and as I mentioned earlier, this is not my first iPod. I have a 20GB 3rd Gen. iPod also, and I took it to the Gym, trail/track running using the belt clip, and the run usually lasted for about 1.5 hour, and I never experience any skipping. But the 5th Gen iPod does. Therefore I do not think this is a common and acceptable fact for people using iPod with video for exercise/running purpose.

Adding Transitions freezes and stutters playback in Preview.

I'm posting this as a new issue. Since I've narrowed down my "stuttering/freezing on playback" problem while in Preview/Edit mode.
This begins to happen as SOON as I add a transition. Whether I add it automatically, or manually.
The clips play fine without transitions in the project and the Event window. These are clips from a Kodak Zi6, I believe shot HD at 60fps, and I'm using NTSC 30fps to create the project. When I "get info" on my clips, the codecs listed are H.264 and AAC, dimensions 1280x720.
When the Movie Project is exported & viewed in QuickTime, it plays smoothly.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, as I'd like to preview my work as I go!
This movie is LESS than one minute long!

UPDATE - A workaround?
after what you posted about converting the file to the apple codec AIC - it occurred to me to try this.
Put a clip in the project browser - it starts stuttering - with or without transitions.
click on clip and select "clip adjustments". Now when you need to run slow mo you click the "convert clip" button. Do this even though you don't need to slomo the clip and it will come up with "converting whole clip" - this can take a while if the clip/event the clip is from is quite long. Hang in there. Click done. ......and......
all works perfectly.
It seems like the converter converts the whole event because if you now choose other clips from the event they too work with no problems! So looks like... before you start run the conversion on a clip from all the events you are about to use and then you can work normally...
I've run a test project and now transistions/ green screen/ PiP all work smooth. IS this the workaround we needed?
Do you know if the convertion to AiC changes size or quality? I cant tell at the moment. But it works! (well so far.....)
Please let me know if this works for you too - if so it might be worth starting another thread as so many people are having the stutter problem and i've not seen a workaround yet that's easy to do.
Anyone?
Apple - we should not need to do this!
