Videos not displaying but audio is working

I am trying to access videos online.  I have done all updates I can think of.  I have restarted the machine numerous times.  I have exhausted my knowledge of fixes.  When accessing videos via youtube, or other media sites, I am unable to view them cleanly.  They are very choppy, they skip, and sometimes just dont show at all.  However, the audio works perfectly.  I have no problem hearing the video, it is just viewing.  I have also noticed the advertisements on the edges of most websites seem to do the same thing; they will either flicker or not show up at all.  Does anyone know how to repair this problem?
Also, do I update to Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

My guess is that you're trying to watch HD YouTube videos with a less than satisfactory connection speed.  When I'm at home, YouTube works perfectly with my overpriced internet connection.  If I'm staying at a hotel, with bad speed, I get choppy video.
Also, Flash has terrible memory leaks.  If you don't force quit Flash every once in a while it starts to use up so much memory that it might cause an issue.  I go into Activity Monitor and kill Flash every time I think there's a problem.

  • Video not playing but audio is fine

  • Google home page will not display but everything else works (bookmarks,etc)

    When I start FF, the page says server was reset before loading complete, yet my other system does just fine with same version of FF.
    Just started last night and haven't gone to malicious website as they are blocked by Avast well and no emails came in.
    Even reinstalled FF.
    Please advise.
    Thanks everyone.

    FYI for everyone. Found that if your homepage does not come up and you get "Server reset while page was loading" and can't get it to change, then disable all plugins and restart Firefox. Home page should come up.
    Now Firefox comes up fine. Will check other issue on cookies not deleting.

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

  • Youtube video is blank,but audio played well. other browser such as chrome got no problem with it. FF Developer Edition.

    - youtube video just blank, but audio is there. tried both embedded in facebook or other website, and at youtube.com. both same result.
    - facebook video played just fine
    - other browser played just fine.. no problem at all..
    - i'm on firefox developer edition
    - tried installing latest flash update, still the same result.

    This problem can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

    What country are you in ? The price for repair (i.e. replacement) for the iPad 3 and 4 appears to be around the €300 mark
    If you select your country at the top of this page, then select the 'Warranty & Service Pricing' section on the left of the screen, and then 'My iPad is not eligible for warranty service' section on the right, you should be able to see the price in your country.

    They will help you just make sure that you make a appointment before you go into the store. Also if the iPhone needs to be replaced and you are not within your year of hardware coverage, that is when they will ask you to pay a fee.

  • Audio is not decoding properly on text messages sent from Motorola Android. Video plays fine but audio is unintelligible chirping.

    I have iphone4. Some inbound text messsages with imbedded video clips do not play the audio properly. Audio chirps as if bad decode. Is there firmware/software updates or other apps to help with this issue?

    Harm, I didn't pay attention to those settings, I should have. I got hung up in the preset names and figured those were my only choices. How green I am, lol. I made a preset with a Target of 4 (max 6) and VBR 1 Pass, and I knocked the audio down to 128K being it's just speech, and it all worked great. The new file plays in both players perfectly and also plays on my iPad with no jitter. Filesize is about 240mb but that's fine, it works. Problem solved and in the books. BTW, I use a GTX570.
    Jim, I agree, VLC is super, it was the only player that would play 5D Mark II files right out of camera back in 2008, on my dual core Dell laptop with a cheesy Nvidia 7900 graphics card. Problem is, the majority of people I'm sending these MP4s to are Mums & Dads in our church, etc, and you know quite well that those folks are running some consumer Dell or HP setup they bought at Costco on closeout.
    Funny backstory, when the 5D2 came out in Sept 2008, that was what thrust me into video. So I immediately bought the Prod Premium CS4 Suite (already owned Photoshop for a few years being a stills guy) and installed it on that Dell 17" laptop I mentioned above. After getting the 5D2 finally in Jan 2009, I actually had the nerve to take my first attempt at creating a video in Premiere and encoding it on that laptop. I literally had to kill AME partway through because I was seconds away from burning out my processor (I had been using RealTemp because of how hot that thing ran using Word, lol). It was that event that made me convince myself to start researching how to build a real editing PC (using an i7 920 at the time). I probably drove Harm nuts back then with all my questions, lol! But this rig has been my workhorse and has been through countless upgrades, the only thing remaining from the original 2009 build is the case and the power supply.
    I know, you guys didn't need all that info, just felt like shooting the breeze. Thanks again!

  • No Video (mimetype error) but audio

    I'm trying to post a video. I have it as an mp4, ogv, webm, and flv. And I have the following tags in my page
    <pre><nowiki> <video src="MYVIDEO.mp4" width="683" height="480" controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
    <video src="MYVIDEO.ogv" width="683" height="480" controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="683" height="480" </nowiki></pre>
    . . . A WHOLE BUNCH OF FLASH CRUD.
    When I have the videos in this order, Firefox (18.0.2, Mac) will display the following message:
    Video format or MIME type is not supported
    but it will play the audio.
    If I reverse the two video tags Firefox, will play fine. But, then Safari shows no video (but, plays sound). Since I want the mp4 as the primary, what could be causing Firefox NOT to skip the first (mp4) video tag and move on to the ogg one?
    I'm confident my MIME types are correct. This is my .htaccess file:
    <pre><nowiki>AddType text/xml .xml
    AddType video/mp4 .mp4 .m4v
    AddType video/mpeg .mpeg .mpg
    AddType video/quicktime .mov
    AddType video/ogg .ogv
    AddType video/webm .webm
    AddType audio/mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4r
    AddType audio/mpeg .mp3
    AddType audio/playlist .m3u
    AddType audio/x-scpls .pls
    AddType audio/ogg .ogg
    AddType audio/wav .wav</nowiki></pre>
    Thanks!!

    You can place the two files in one video tag and use the source tag to specify the various formats.
    If it is encoded as WebM, why don't you give it a .webm file extension or specify the type as video/ogg if you use an ogg container?
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/video
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/source
    Also make sure that the ogv video is encoded with a supported codec, try to open the file directly in a tab to see if that works.

  • MPEG-4 video gives still but audio plays FW 3.1.3

    Hi, I have a Iphone 3GS 32 with 3.1.3 installed and discovered that MPEG-4 files don't play video and some H264 video stops after c.a. 40 seconds for c.a. 60 seconds.
    I have tried to convert with Itunes, but Itunes gives the message that the fileformat is correct and does not have conversion neceserry.
    Withe the MP4 issue the audio sounds good and my screen is displaying a stil with a green bar right below. On 3.1.2 everithing was all right. I have tried to downgrade to 3.1.2 but that is restricted.
    I have checked the playing of the same files on my old 3G 16 with 3.1.2 and the files are playing well.
    I also discovered with playing H264 files that the stop after ca 40 seconds for 1 minute and then go on. The movie time us running from 0:40 - 1:48 but audio and video stops. After the 1:48 the movie is continuing well????
    In the Ipod discussions i saw same issue wit FW 3.1.3, but i have posted it also in the Iphone discussion.
    Hopefully Aplle fixes this verry soon!!
    THX in advance for any suggestion to make it work,
    Wim

    I have downloaded the latest Danuisoft DVD ripper and ripped the movies again and they run in 320*240 H264 and MPEG-4 format.
    Strange that they run in the 3.1.2 FW and not in the 3.1.3 FW. Maybe someting to dow with the solved MPEG-4 flaw.
    So now i have to convert my 30 movies again.
    THX for your suggestion whatheck
    I am concerning also the right choice of the 3GS. It is faster, but i get anoying messages about diverting when i call somebody, i have to convert my movies again. But stil its faster.
    On my good old 3G that was jailbroken and i could customize al the anoying messages and now Apple is avoiding all this customizing by FW's that could not be customized. Why not an open system so that i can choose by miself as user of a beautyfull piece of technology that supports me on the road with Phone, Internet, AV, Entertainement and Land/Nautical Navigation aids.
    So next sunday it wil be bad wether so that i can take the time to do the converting work.
    THX a lot,
    Wim

  • No video in monitor,but, audio plays when playing timeline CS5.5.1

    In one sequence only, no video plays in monitor, but, audio is heard. What have I done ?
    The same H.264 mov clips when set in new sequence plays ok ?

    Thanks Ann & Glenn,
    I accidentally hit Toggle Track Output "EYE" Key and, disabled the monitor, to the left of the Opacity handle, in 6 years on other Premiere Pro I have never done that , the darkened display did not help, even Automate to Sequence seemed to disappear in CS5.5.1. But, all is now well thanks to you both it gave me the clue.
    Regards,
    Bob

  • Video not displaying properly and not exporting.

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4.  I brought an AFX composition in via Dynamic Link, made copies of the clip, chopped it up and spliced it back together on one video layer.  Within the Premiere Pro interface, the video shows up normally when I hit play.  If I hit stop, however, the display area just shows black instead of an image (and if I click any blend mode other than Normal, the image shows up until I move the CTI at which point it disappears again).
    Upon trying Export Media, I don't get any video -just a black screen along with the audio.
    My eyeball is set to on for visible, opacity is 100%, and non other video layers are turned on.
    Not sure what's wrong or how to fix it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Still getting similar problems.  This time I have a dynamic link to one complicated AFX CS4 precomp which lasts for about 4 minutes.  Barely plays inside of Premiere; when I hit play, the video will start but it quickly just stays on the same video frame while the audio plays.  If I hit stop and then play again, it will advance to a new frame where the CTI is and then freeze there.
    I tried pre-rendering a few seconds inside of Premiere, and now that part is solid black when I hit play - and when the CTI gets past that section, it goes back to displaying video briefly till it freezes on a new frame again.
    Using Windows Task Manager, Premiere Pro is using between1-2 GB RAM, and After Effects close to 3GB RAM - and I'm guessing that's my problem since these are only 32 bit programs (even though I'm on Windows 7 with 24GB RAM).
    If anyone can confirm whether that's the likely problem or suggest a workaround I'd appreciate it.
    May try a trial of the 64 bit programs to see if that fixes things.  Had downloaded AFX and Premiere Pro separately, but don't get dynamic link that way so may have to look at the suites.

  • Videos not displayed in Videos app

    Back when I updated to iOS 6 some videos disappeared from the Videos app. Now I realize that the videos show in the movies section under "On this iPad" in iTunes when I connect, which I don't do very often. I can actually play the videos in iTunes but I can't delete them. Since I can't find them on the iPad I can't delete them there either. The videos together take up about 1.3 GB and I'd like to recover that space. I tried creating some new videos with the same name to see if they would show up but that didn't work. Any idea how to remove these hidden videos?

    I decided to take the plunge and restore the iPad mini as new. Pain in the rear end having to log in to all of the apps that I reinstalled. Oh well. FaceTime now works. On the whole the iPad runs more smoothly. Running iOS 8.1.2. I still have issue with artwork not displaying on some of the video files that I had synced to the iPad mini from my iMac through iTunes. The problem is only with artwork that I had associated to the files. The same file won't show it's artwork on my iPhone 4s running iOS 8.1.2 either. Yet, when I sync that same video file to my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6.1.6, the artwork displays correctly as I had associated it in iTunes. This leads me to conclude that the problem lies in the iOS 8 upgrade.
