Video plays and stops

When playing videos, the audio will start and after about 6 seconds they stop (video is a picture and does not play). I can move the time bar to later in the video and hit play again and it will change pictures and play audio for another 6 seconds. I can't fix it.
I have repaired quicktime 3 times. (videos play fine in quick time).
I have repaired itunes.
I have reloaded and downloaded latest itunes.
I have tried the advance options with the directx and safe options in the setup.
What else can I try.

If something is not properly encoded, surely it won't play at all, rather than playing till it's half way and then stopping. Also, if a file is already in mp4 format in your library, trying to 'convert to ipod' will only get you a message that it's already in the proper format.
In my experience, both of the above assumptions are incorrect. 'Properly encoded' is not an either/or proposition. Sometimes vids can properly encoded but their data rate is just too high for the device in question. In that case, they will likely restart or just stop playing at some point in the middle -- particularly for stuff encoded with a variable bit rate. Also, sometimes only certain types of waveform show a problem with an encoding -- that waveform might not occur until partway through a song.
Similarly, 'Convert for iPod' will in fact convert a video that is already in MP4, provided that iTunes thinks the data rate is too high. It will re-encode as an MP4 with a lower bitrate. I have verified this myself.
As for your playback issue, it seems much more wide-ranging than the problem I was originally responding to. I think it might be an unrelated issue. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for somebody whose iPod has problems playing any video. My suggestions only might apply if the iPod has an issue with a specific video, but continues to play the rest as it always had.
Good luck with your problem, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

How to control the line in--- PLAY and STOP ?

Hi,
   This is the volume control library downloaded from NI wed site .It is help for my task.
   My task is to control the line in with LabVIEW, for example STOP, PLAY and adjust volume with LabVIEW button.Though the example I see the volume control can be enablement.But I don't know how to design the PLAY and STOP button.
   I see it is similar to the volume control.There is function to control the the PLAY and STOP in the system Library-winmm.dll. I don't know whether all I think is right.I have the following serial question. How to use the function?How to understand the system Library?I can't acquire some information from it and I don't know the input and output parameter in the funcion.
   Can any one help me out please?
   I'm sorry that my English is poor.

I assume you are referring to audio line-in volume control and lerft-right balance...
If so, then check out this thread:

Why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it

why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it

It usually means a slow internet connection, or inadequate hardware or both.
It is not a 10.6 problem as such as 10.6 handles video streaming quite well.
In your post this tag seems incongruous in this 10.6 category.

Strange pops when pressing play and stop. Logic 9.1.3, Mac internal Sound

Hi,
So I opened Logic for the first time in a while.
Logic Pro Version 9.1.3 (1697.87) 32bit.
Mac 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Mac OS 10.6.5
6GB RAM
I am using the internal Mac sound card, set up as follows :
Core Audio
Built In Line Output
IO Buffer Size 512
I am running ONE Mono audio track, with one Space Designer plug-In (mono>Stereo) inserted on the first insert slot.
There is nothing else playing back on this particular logic song.
Every time I press the spacebar for play or stop, I get a tiny delay, a pop, and then is starts, or it stops playing.
This is using the Macs' own internal sound card. With Logic's own Space Deigner, on ONE mono audio track.
SO, any ideas as to why this happens?
The only reason I opened Logic, was because I wanted to show a producer friend of mine some personal Space Designer presets I had made a couple of years ago, in case that was the type of ambience he is interested in using for a mix.
My plan was to use Logic as an effects suite, using a Motu 828mk3 conected via ADAT Lightpipe to my Pro Tools HD converter, to send and recieve 4 stereo sends and returns with 4 instances of Space Designer.
But, if Logic hiccups with the internal sound card... what will happen when I use the Motu? I dread to think about it, but will test it tomorrow.
At least I have two weeks to get this working or re-do my convolution reverbs in another plug-in (Waves IR1) that I can use in Pro Tools, in case Logic just does not work out.

The multi-purpose internal audio chips used in Mac's & PC's has some built in latency and seemes to default to a basic 16-bit 48kHz format. Any change from this and the chip has to change on the fly, I knew sample rate did this, makes sense bit depth might as well.
Some internal chips have a built in noise gate which can also cause a "thump". (rare)
Cheap or out-of-spec audio chips with a high DC offset will cause a pop when pressing "Play" and "Stop", as will an audio file that has a high DC offset.

How to play and stop flv files through NetStream in AIR Application

Hi,
In a folder I have 'n' number of flv file, which are DRM protected. when the user try to play those files for the first time through my AIR application, it will prompt for username and password and gets the license/voucher from the server and store it in AIR Runtime. so that from the next time onwords it won't prompt for username and password as because it already has license/voucher.
     My problem is assume there are 500 files, such that for each file the user has to enter his credentials[username and password]. which is a stupid thing. I want to avoid this process by implementing this process internally/programetically. By playing/accessing each file through netstream from the folder and setDRMAuthenticationCredentials for that file and stop the stream. Here I am able to play each file but I am failed to stop it. I mean to say I will get the license for all the flv files internally[while loading my AIR application], such that user should not be interrupted for his credentials for each file.He should play as if he is accessing/playing a non-DRM protected file. I will be very thank full if any one help me out in this.

Why do I get a popping sound when I press play and stop?

I hope this is an easy answer for someone. When I press the play or stop button I get a loud popping noise (same with space bar). I want to use AA to play sound clips over on air radio and this would ne an obvious problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's almost certainly exactly that...I get the same effect when I do a quick playback via my laptop's internal card rather than hooking up my Firewire stuff. Going through and laboriously adjusting things on the Windows Sound control panel will stop it--but, alas, watching a video or listening to some kind of playback on the net can instantly reset the internal card to something different again.
Yet another reason to dislike Vista and W7.

Videos start and stop such as iCloud information video

When I try to use your video for information such as for iCloud the start and stop. Then I hit the arrow again start and stop. Is it my iPad or your video?

(we are just users, like you. It's not my video)
Are you watching a video that has been downloaded to the pad, or are you streaming from apple's or anybody's website? It sounds like a connection speed issue. If you are streaming, you need a fast connection, 3 g likely will not work well. Wifi usually works better, but again, is dependant on your speed.

Yes! Good idea. In fact, this is the proper way to troubleshoot this issue - isolate the problem by first taking the wifi router out of the equation completely.
Your current speed is in the broadband spectrum, yet it's at the very bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if you experienced video problems at your current speed - even with your local network working properly.
What type of internet service do you have and who is your provider?

120FPS video play and share

So, I got my shiny 5S, I made a few videos in HFR, and would like to upoload them to youtube/vimeo OR just play them on my mac.
I got an i7 17'MBP, so the performance wont be a problem, but, whenever i transfer my video with image capture, quick time just plays it at HFR and dont slow down where it supposed to. Even tried it in FCPX, same problem. I have 10.0.9 of FCPX and 10.8.5 of OSX.
What could be the problem? The video plays fine on the 5S.
Oh, and FCPX just makes my CPU go up to 120-150%, but the video is even get laggy in the preview window...

Hi,
You may take the following into account:
The following devices support the mobile application:
Anchor– iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4
Anchor– iPod Touch 4th Generation
Anchor– iPad 1 and iPad 2

How to link audio to button to make it play and stop on click? Help please!!!!

Hi guys,
I am trying to connect audio to the button so when I click on the button music it starts playing and when clicked again music stops. Any ideas??

assign your sound a class, say S. you can then use:
var s:Sound=new S();
var sc:SoundChannel;
var soundon:Boolean;
yourbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnF);
function btnF(e:MouseEvent){
if(!soundon){
sc=s.play();
} else {
sc.stop();
soundon=!soundon;

Videos skipping and stopping.

Several videos, all correct format, will play for a certain amount of time, pause, and then, several seconds later, will begin to play only audio, skipped forward the amount of time the video was paused. Then again, several seconds later, the video will kick in.
Also, several different videos will pause randomly, then I will hit play, and it will begin to play with NO audio. Why is this?

what format do you have the files in?
Did you convert them with anything?

Flash Player - Videos start and stop

Player: WIN 10,0,45,2
Windows 7
When playing a video - it is constantly stopping and starting. The two sites that I use are Nascar.com and YouTube. I have uninstalled, cleaned files, reinstalled, rebooted, and dont know what else to do. Not computer savey here.

Streaming video tends to do that - either if your Internet connection is slow, or the server at the other side is slow.
The only thing you can do about it is to pause the video yourself near the beginning, then let it load to about two thirds or more, then play it.

FCE4 - Video starting and stopping

I imported some DV video from my hard drive into FCE and the playback just stops and starts. I see one frame, then it stops almost as if it is pausing, and then it starts for one frame, then stops...how do I fix this?
My iMac meets all the requirements, but the only one I am not sure about is this:
An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme
Does the iMac Core 2 Duo have a graphic card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme? Whatever the heck that is.

>>Why is it that the default setting for a video player placed on the stage
is to start playing when the page appears? I would think it would be
paused.<<
I don't know it doesn't seem any more logical to have it paused. I assume it
is just a preference on the part of the developers of Flash.
>>Is there some piece of script that can correct this situation<<
There are several ways to pause the video playback at teh beginning of the
Flash movie. It actually depends on how you have the movie inserted into the
time line. If you used an FLVPlayback component, then all you have to do is
click to select the component, open the component inspector
(window>component Inspector) and se the autoplay value for the component to
false. If you have the video inserted another way let me know.
>>Forgive my naivete but I am trying to learn the ways of Actionscript

Thats always hard. What tecnology do you normally work with Ajax? C++
The comment about the behavior of video suggests you work with a technology
that has the opposite autoplay behavior.

Need to play and stop sound file with 1 ms resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to open a .wav file then later play it at a time when another parallel loop activates a boolean local variable which controls playback in my "sound" loop. I need high time resolution in stopping the playing of the .wav file, ~1ms. From what I've gathered, I can't use the "sound output write.vi" because it locks the loop until it finishes outputting a set number of samples. Because of this, "sound output stop.vi" has to wait until the next iteration, which is more than ~1 ms.
In the help menu of the Sound Ouput VIs it says you can set the task ID for the "sound output start.vi" using the "sound output configure.vi." Unfortunately I've only been able to use the "sound output start.vi" following "play sound file.vi", and I don't really know why this is the case.
I can't start my sound with the "play sound file.vi" because it locks the loop its in until it finishes playing the sound. Oddly this only happens when there is a parallel loop running, if I run it by itself, with no other loops, it doesn't lock the loop. I thought it might have something to do with the local variable, but the loop doesn't lock when the loop restarts the sound using the "sound output start.vi."
After opening a .wav file, can i use the "sound output configure.vi" to create a task ID for the "sound output start.vi" to work? Or do I have to use the "sound output write.vi" after calling the "sound output configure.vi." The help menu makes it seem like the prior suggestion is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Since it sounds like the problem you're running into is getting the data loaded from the file before you're ready to play it, look at the Files sub-palette, specifically the Sound File Read Simple VI. You can use this VI to load the data into a waveform and have it ready for use later in the program.
So in your overall program, read the file with Sound File Read Simple and configure the output with Sound Output Configure and call Sound Output Write when you're ready to play the waveform.
