Video Playback Freezes After 25-30 minutes

Hey everyone, I've recently run into a problem with my iphone. Any videos I watch freeze after about 25-30 minutes of viewing.
Basically, it'll pause without my doing anything, then I'll be able to hit play again, at which point it'll play for another 30 seconds or so before freezing again.
When I back out to the homescreen and replay, I get the same thing.
After I quit the ipod app in frustration, little snippets of sound will play randomly from different videos. It's really odd.
This is happening consistently with both video podcasts, rips from DVDs, etc. Any video after 25-30 minutes.
I've attempted to quit the ipod app, run the "free memory" app, all to no avail.
Any ideas?
Some details:
I'm running 3.1
I have about 775MBs of free space on the iphone.
Problems are occurring with both .mov and .m4v...
Thanks!

Well, well, well, iphone 3.1.2 just released and what do we see in the release notes?
- Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming.
Here's hoping. I'm going to test it and see if this fixes my problem. I'll report back in an hour or so...

Incoming Video freezes after a few minutes Using S...

I just installed the Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray and Sony CMU-BR100 Webcam, skype is working, however the incoming video freezes after a few minutes. The caller on the other side clicks off the video and then back on, it works again but only for a few minutes. Is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong.

8.2 is out...perhaps that will address your problem.

Youtube video playback freeze

Hi,
I've been experiencing a lot video playback freezing, I've noticed it happens on youtube. It is not my internet connection, the video freeze even it's already been downloaded. It happens with all video resolution from 360P to Full HD, I've tried all majors Internet browser: Firefox, Safari, Chrome.
I have Leopard, a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM.
A 250GB HD with (at least) 10GB of free space.
It shouldn't freeze for so low quality videos.
Any help?
Cheers,
-- rafael

Do you have powered speakers or headphones plugged in?
If so, try unplugging them and seeing if it will play the video.
I started having this problem right in the middle of watching a video and it would freeze playback every time I plugged in my speakers. Internet searching yielded no results, but an OS software update from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 fixed my problem. You say you have Leopard, so I am not sure if a software update is available for you, but check under the apple menu > Software Update. If there is an update related to the operating system, install that. It worked for me!

Photoshop freezes after 2-5 minutes of startup

My photoshop CS6 is freezing after 2-5 minutes of starting it up. I have recently installed this to my computer earlier this week and it has been working fine up until this afternoon. I had no problems with it this morning. I am using a PC running windows 8.1. There seems to be no link between a particular process and the freezing, it appears to be random.@

Hi Andrew
Sometimes 3rd party add-ons create the spinning wheel. Curious which version of Adobe Flash you are using? Go to your Finder: HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins. Click on Flash Player.plugin, then Command/I keys. In the info panel, which version is listed?
Also, do you have any other 3rd party items installed in Safari?

Freezing after a few minutes of screen sharing?

Hello, when setting up a screen sharing session on mountain lion with a lion laptop (the ml is being controlled by the lion laptop), the 10.8 laptop freezes after a few minutes of the session. The mouse cursor still works locally, however no clicking or keyboard input is accepted. The remote controller also loses the connection, and a hard reboot is the only thing to bring the computer back.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, that is exactly what I am experiencing.
I followed instructions and found that computer was set to log out after 120 minutes. I don't know if that is the default setting or not, but I know I never set it that way myself, didn't even know the option was there.
I have always had the computer set to start screensaver after 15 minutes, display sleep after 30 minutes, and computer sleep after 1 hour. The computer never logged me out with those settings until a couple of days ago when this problem started. I had changed computer sleep to never so I could see if remote desktop on my ipad would be able to connect to the imac, and that is when the problem started.
I am trying setting screensaver to 10 minutes, display sleep to 15 minutes, and computer sleep to never, and see if that solves the problem. I also unchecked the box to log out after 120 minutes.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

My imac 17' core duo 1.8ghz a1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running

My imac 17" core duo 1.8ghz A1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running. I re-start the imac about a half a dozen times and it stays running and will re-start from the sleep mode and will continue to operate properly until I put it in sleep mode or it goes to sleep mode. If I turn it off, I must go through the same hassle. Advise/suggestions. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
Did you make a new install or just updated?
You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
Updated kernel.
And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

ITunes 9.0.2 video playback freezes temporarily at 9 second pointiTunes 9.0

iTunes 9.0.2 video playback freezes temporarily at the 9 second point. Playback resumes at around the 12 second point. The sound also pauses with the video. I've tried playing the same videos in Quicktime and they play fine. How can I fix this?

I have the same issue! Were you able to slove it? if so, how?

Video downloads freeze after a minute or so

When I download videos, for example from a site such as Vimeo, or the iPad promo video from the Apple site, the video freezes after a minute or so and will go no further. Any ideas? Is it down to the size of my processor? There doesn't seem to be a problem with viewing stuff on YouTube, or with TV programmes from the BBC.
I've noticed that downloading stuff other than videos is rather hit and miss anyway - the download speed will suddenly fall and once it's below about 180kb/s it stops altogether- sometimes if I stop the download and start it again straightway it will carry on for a bit longer, but sometimes I have to start again from scratch. I don't know whether this is related to the problem with the videos.
Any ideas, please?

HI,
The iPad video is not available for download from the Apple site. You have to launch iTunes, select iTunes Store in the Source list on the left then type in: *Apple Keynotes* in the search field top right of the iTunes window.
Vimeo requires that your Java Script be turned on. Go to Safari/Preferences and select the Secuirty tab. Where you see: Web content Make sure the top 3 boxes are checked,.
Vimeo also requires the most recent version of Flash. If you have Flash installed, first uninstall the old copy then reinstall new.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Your download speeds are determined by the type of internet connection you are using. Broadband/ DSL ... you can check download and upload speeds here. http://www.speedtest.net/
If you have a broadband connection your download speed should be about 16Mbps

My iPhone 4 freezes after playing 24 minutes of video - HELP PLEASE!

Hi there,
I have the problem that when I am playing any type of online video when i reach 24 minutes, the screen freezes but the sound keep running, and I tryed deleting cookies and buffer and all these things, and I also reseted the phone but the problem still, I wonder if someone could help me please!,
Thank you very much
Kenzo.

Hey there iK3nzo,
It sounds like your phone becomes unresponsive when watching video on it for around 24 minutes or so even after reseting safari data, and resetting the phone. I would next quit the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Let me know how that goes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Video Playback - Freezes Nano

I love being an early adopter....
Had video playing fine on my previous 3G Nano, got a new 4G one on release but when trying it for the first time at teh guym, noticed that the first film i tried ot play froze after a few minutes , I tried again and it froze...now this was a new film I hadnt tried on the 3G so I assumed it was a problem, so went back to a film that had played fine on the 3G and screen went black and I had to do a full reset.
Any ideas?
I have looked at the framerate and they are around 256kbps so the previous fix I found for a similar problem on the boards seems to be irrelevant Could understand if nothing woulf play, but they worked fine previously.
I'm wonderig if I had a bad one because it seems to be a little crazy whn trying to use the clickwheel in audio, wasnt sure if the accelerometer was confusing the controls as I seem to have the main problem when trying to move to coverflow.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the input so far.
Ok aome more info, the movies are ripped form my own DVD collection using the Jodix conversoin tool. All worked fine on the £g Nano I used up until last week.
Also this morning we gave another 4g Nano as a birthday gift, I checked the movies I had sync'd from itunes were working ok, which they were...then they too started freezing up. This is weird!
Any iodeas, is tere any sort of DRM setting I've missed?
