Video Stutters, Freezes, Gaps, and Silence (QT conversions)

I've been having trouble with some videos on my iPod and my computer. On certain files, so far on those more TV show length or more, about every 30 secs the video freezes for a bit, then continues but without audio. This has happened only on the iPod, in iTunes they might barely freeze but audio continues with video normally and mostly with non-iTunes videos, mostly encoded in QT. Another problem I've been having is that MPEGs and AVIs downloaded on computer have no audio track according to QT but when played the audio workes fine. Obviously the converted video doesn't have the audio either. Both these issues have a been a major concern and annoyance, though I'm not sure how much is the iPods fault or QT's. I'm thinking the stutter is due to coflicting format, maybe corruption, or inferior tech on the iPod. Thanks.

Time Capsule Video Stuttering in OSX and not Windows Vista/7

Hi,
I have a MacBook 1.6 GHz D-core. I store all my video content on my Time Capsule, 500GB. Whenever I try to stream a video over the network, via TC, it stutters. Whether that be SD or HD content.
When I try to stream the same content on Vista or Windows 7 I have zero problems.
The suttering happends about every 15 seconds and seems like it skips a frame or two. The audio cuts out as well but it's less than a second long and the video goes back to normal. It wouldn't be a big issue however it happends about 3-4 times a minute and I find it annoying.
I'm not sure why I have no issues on Vista/7 but have problems with OSX. Any advice?

H/p model a6220n-when playing online video it freezes up and sound also

when I play a video after approximatly 15-20 seconds into it video freezes. sound seems to keep going but skips because video starts skipping forward. I hope someone will give me a suggestion what I can do to fix it. it's very frustrating. I can't even watch any video without it freezing then will continue to skip. HELP Dave..................

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
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.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Ipod freeze unexpectingly and video problems

I have the older version of a 60 gb video ipod. Everytime my battery reaches halfway, my ipod freezes. Then after like 15 minutes, it shuts off. After it shuts off, it won't turn back on. After an hour later, I would try to turn it back on and it would show the 'out of battery' icon. But I barely even use up the battery yet.
Also, everytime I try to view a video, the video always freezes. And blue lines starts to show up. Sometimes the audio would screech too.

Try restoring from backup.

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.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I made a duplicate copy of an imovie HD project and when I updated the titles on the copy, the video stuttered . I'm using Snow Leopard OSX. The length of the movie increased unexpedtedly too.

I made a duplicate of an imovie HD project so I could have two different versions. I tried making the copies both by using File> Duplicate and the Save As command in imovie.
When I changed the title on the copy, the video stuttered when I played it back. Also the overall length of the movie increased by about 6 seconds throwing off some sync even though the replacement title was exactly the same length in seconds and frames as the one I replaced.
any thoughts how to fix this?
I'm using OSX 10.6.8.
thanks.

*24 December 2009*
*Dear Mac Users:*
Hello. Thanks to AppleMan1958 for answering my question about how to edit an iMovie project
on another computer.
Here is a question related to the process of transferring the iMovie '09 project file from my friend's
computer to an external drive so that I can edit that project in iMovie '09 on my MacBook Pro:
How do I know if my Smart Disk FireLite portable external drive is formatted to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)? How I do format this Smart Disk FireLite USBFLB80C to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)?
When I connect the Smart Disk FireLite to my MacBook Pro via USB, open iMovie '09, and select View
Events By Disk or rather "Group Events By Disk," an icon for the FireLite external drive appears, but there is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark on the icon for the external drive. What does this "warning" mean? There are MP3s of music on the same external drive and they open just fine in iTunes. The one iMovie project file that is already on the drive will not open up in iMovie.
So, how do I properly format this external drive in order to transfer an iMovie project file from my friend's computer so that I can edit it on my MacBook Pro using iMovie '09?
Sincerely,
Corey

Video loads part way and freezes

Our site is keeping an archive of 45 min videos and for some
reason they load for awhile and then the load bar jumps to the end
and the video will freeze at that point in the scroll bar. This
started with .flv files so we got a player that plays .mov and
.mp4, both of which do the same thing. This freezing problem isn't
always there and sometimes a video will play through.
Fixes I've tried:
- switch audio to 44100
- take off sound (this actually works, but i need sound)
- change files types
- switch servers
- make videos shorter
- make sure video is embeded
here's the link to the site
Video
Player
The current video that's doing this is the one named
"Messages" or any of the videos under the "What if" series.
If you happen to have seen an answer to this or have a
suggestion it would be a huge help. I've been working on this for
weeks. Thanks.

For anyone with the same problem, I've found what seems to be
working so far. Paste this into your .htaccess and it will keep
Apache from compressing your files. And be sure to add in the file
types you need.
# disables compression on gifs,jpegs,pngs,mp3s and flvs
# for the mod_deflate compression
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|flv|mp3)$ no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>
# for mod_gzip - note; note totally sure about this one as i
don't use it
# however this should work.
<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.gif $
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.jpeg$
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.jpg$
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.png$
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.flv$
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.mp3$
</IfModule>
This is where i found the fix

Every time that I want to go full screen with an enbedded video firefox freezes and doesn't expand

Every time I try to go full screen with an embedded video or video game Firefox freezes and stop working

1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

IMovie glitch on iPad mini. My videos are freezing and then disappearing.

I have used iMovie for a long time now and it's always been reliable. Tonight I was editing a video on my iPad and all of my footage went black. Thankfully, when I closed the app and relaunched everything was still there. However though, as soon as I press play my video freezes and then goes black on the preview part [i can still see my footage on the editing bar though.] I have tried restarting my device but the glitch continues. I really want to fix this without losing my footage. Can someone help? And do you think if I just left imovie alone during the night it will have fixed itself by morning?
Also, if it helps, I have iOS 7, an iPad mini, and the iOS update of imovie.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Video/Audio out of sync / stutters at start and then jumps back into sync.

Everything appears fine in the Simulator and when played in the computer. However I have noticed on 2 different DVD Players that when the video starts the audio is out of sync for about the first 20 sec or so and then slides back into sync for the remainder. Seems to sort of lag.
I am exporting NTSC videos out of FCP and encoding via Compressor. I am using the Compressor presets (usually 120 min Fastest Encode).
Anyone see this before?

Fixed. There was 5 sec video clip that plays before the main video in the track. However, the 5 sec clip was video only, not audio, and was as a .mov as opposed to mpeg2. Anyways I encoded the 5sec clip in mpeg2/AAC and added it before the main clips and everything works. Still don't know WHY it happened and why it stuttered, any ideas? Don't think it was the lack of black at the start as i didn't add any.

H.264 web video loses audio sync and freezes frame in JW media player

Hi,
I am trying to put my H-264 video (.mov) that I compress with Compressor on the web to play in JW media player. The problem is, after 30 seconds of smoothly playing, the video starts to lag, freezes frames and ever since then the audio do not sync with the video anymore (can be as far apart as 10 second). Strangely, this only happens on the longer videos.
I am assuming it has something to do with the compression setting that makes the file is too big and thus create streaming bottlenecking? Maybe I should readjust my parameters?
this is the setting I use:
File Extension: mp4
Estimated file size: 104.3 MB
Audio Encoder
AAC, Mono, 44.100 kHz
Video Encoder
Format: QT
Width: 480
Height: 270

Thanks,
JD

Thanks for the input. What do you mean by encoding it as H.264 not mp4 - which setting affects that?
Maybe I already has it?
here is what I have now:
Video compression setting
Compression type: H.264

Streaming audio and video frequently freezes or becomes garbled.

Streaming audio and video frequently freezes or becomes garbled on my Macbook. I do not have this problem with non streaming media such as iTunes or downloaded video. The problem started six or eight months ago and has gradually become worse. I don't know what to start checking.

I have some issues with this feature. I can play all the media, however, I can only hear sound for a few secondsbut no images; then freezes.
Format: xvid (.avi)
OS: Windows Vista home premium X64 (WMP 11)
Does anyone has the same problem or a fix?
