Weird Netflix Stuttering problem

When using Firefox to watch video on netflix, I experience a bizarre stuttering (low framerate, motion is jerky) when viewing in fullscreen only. This problem is non-existant on Safari and Chrome, but FF is my preferred browser so I would like to use it for netflix. I have the latest version of silverlight, and am using an early 2011 MBP 13'', Lion 10.7.4. Any solutions?

I have noticed this too, and it seems to be because of too much stuff running on your computer. As Firefox isn't nearly as streamlined on the Mac as it is on PC, I'd stick to using Safari to use Netflix.
There really isn't anything you can do to help Firefox, except send them an e-mail about it and hope for the best.
Hope this helped sloughricher!

Stuttering problem after update to 6.0.6

I'm getting that annoying stuttering problem for the first time. Whenever the playhead gets close to the end of a clip, it freezes up and then picks up a few frames after the start of the next one.
I've tried everything, including cleaning up my hard disk, tinkering with playback preferences. Oddly, this seems to have appeared after the update to 6.0.6. Before that, everything was working brilliantly. Am I missing something?

No way to revert back as far as I know.
I believe I was able to correct the problem. I'm not exactly sure how but this is what I did. I went through and cleaned up every project and all stray FCP files that were no longer in use. I then loaded a project off an external drive with a very large project on it, and what do you know, everything worked fine.
I went back to the projects I was having trouble with and completely deleted them. The only thing I saved was the raw footage I had pulled off a DVD. I started a new session, imported the footage and everything worked.
I don't know if perhaps the format of the footage was the issue but I seem to be back in business.
Good luck Elliott.

Avoiding preview stuttering problems

I am creating a new post here as I marked the last one I posted on this subject as answered.
In that post I asked would a new graphics card help to eliminate the severe stuttering caused by my windows xp machine (2 intel P4 processors 3.2) failing to decompress the MP4 files from my Sony NEX-5 quickly enough? The answer was an unequivocal NO as it was the processors, not the card.
Since then I have been doing some experimentation:
I downloaded trial versions of Cyberlink Power Director and Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10. The latter stuttered worse than PE but the Cyberlink app had almost faultless previews - no stuttering. Unfortunately it is a pretty horrible programme otherwise, and any case I am used to Premiere having use an early version of PP for years, so I experimented some more:
In PE I created a project with a project setting of PAL-AVCHD-HD 1081i25, loaded some MP4 clips taken with theNEX 5 on the MP4 1440 x 1080 setting and then burnt the project to DVD.
I then saved the movie as an AVI, removed the original MP4 clips and imported the AVI file I had just made. The project asked me if I wanted to change the project settings to match the clip and and I said yes. I then burned this to a DVD.
I then deleted the AVI clip and imported the original MP4 clips (into what is now effectively a PAL-DV-Widescreen 48KHz project setting I imagine). This time I was not asked if I wanted to change the settings but a red line appeared above the clips indicating they needed rendering. I rendered them and - voila! No stuttering - perfectly smooth preview of the MP4 clips. I then burned this to DVD.
Next I compared the DVDs on a Sony 42inch HD TV. No difference! All three of very good quality, at least to my eyes..
So what is happening here? When I rendered the clips in the PAL DV project was it turning them into AVI files because of the project settings? And is it that the first DVD (with the MP4 clips straight from the camera), which I would have expected to be of better quality than the other two, was not actually producing a HD DVD inspite of the camera and project setting?
Is the only way I am going to get true HD to set the camera to AVCHD and burn to Blu-Ray?
If any one has knowledge of these things I would love to hear from you as while I seem to have found an answer to the stuttering I would love to know what is going on and if I am fooling myself. Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I have not explained myself very well.
There is no problem with the DVDs - whatever settings I use to edit, the DVDs play very well, smooth and reasonably high quality in my estimation..
And as far as I know there is no interlacing going on as I am not using the camera's highest avchd setting (which is interlaced), only the 1440x1080 MP4.
The problem is with the editing previews, which when I open an HD project and import my MP4 camera files is very jerky to the point of being almost unusable at times, with long waits during operations. A look in Window Task Manager shows both CPUs maxing out all the time. According to the reply I had from an earlier post, this is because my CPUs are not up to the job of decompressing the MP4 files on the fly.
What I have found is that if I import my MP4 files into a project with DV settings, I get a red line above the timeline. If I then render the clips, the editing improves dramatically - no stuttering at all and no long waits after mouse clicks or key presses and the CPUs only working at about 50%. Of course it can take a while to render a number of clips, but I can go and do something else while that is happening and when I return the editing goes like clockwork.
My question is - what is happening to the quality of the video? I cannot see any difference in output (DVDs) whatever project settings I use, they all seem equally good. So hopefully I have found an answer to the preview stuttering problem. But I suspect I am not getting real HD from any of them. To do this I imagine I need to set the camera to AVCHD rather than 1440x1080 MP4 and burn to Blu-ray. This I have not tried yet as I do not have a Blu-Ray burner.
My problem is my ignorance of what PE is doing to the MP4 files when it renders them. And why, if I set the project settings to HD 1080i25 instead of PAL DV and work directly on the unrendered MP4 clips (and put up with the stuttering) do I not see a visible increase in quality when I burn the DVD? Is there some sort of levelling going on during the DVD coding?

The stuttering problem is solved, I think, I hope, Oh I hope so!

Thanks to a lot of help form people on this forum and an Apple specilist on iMovie here is what I have done.
I spent over an hour hours on the phone with a specialist on iMovie today. We ran tests to try to see what was causing the stuttering. He suggested that I try setting up another account and try to duplicated the problem in the test account. I found that impractical because I could not get to any of my sounds or movies that I had made in my profile.
Here is what I am going to try to do. I logged back into my profile and opened a movie that is stuttering. I deleated the music that I had in the lower sound track. that did not stop the stuttering. Next I opened a new movie and copied half of my voice narration into the upper sound track in the new movie. No stuttering. I copied the other half into the upper sound track, the stuttering is back. Discouraged.
Next I deleated the second half of the narration and no stuttering. I copied and pasted all but the last 9 clips of the narration and no stuttering. I saved the movie and quit iMovie. I reopened the file and NO STUTTERING. Next I will copy and paste the 59 photographs. Everything is working great, NO STUTTERS. I also copied some narration from another movie and still NO STUTTERS.
Karl Perersen described how to copy music files to a disk in the AIFF format and I have done that. I am going to finish the movie pictures, effects and narration before I put the music into my movie. And you can bet I will rename the file and make a backup.

I am making several movies of old family pictures that I will use to make a DVD. I have been working on this project for about a year and a half so I have used several versions of iLife. This current movie is only about 7 minutes long, it has about 60 photos and just over 100 clips of narration. the narration is my voice using the iSight camera as a mic.
I am trying to keep good records of the problems that I have experienced making these movies. Maybe this will help someone else. There have been several posts to this forum of other people having similar problems. I had no problems until I updated to iLife 6.0.2. Once I started trying to use iMovie 6.0.2 everything fell apart. The first thing that happened was that I got a dialog box as iMovie is loading that tells me that one of my video cards is not "Quartz Extreme" compatible.
My computer is one of the first Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5's that were sold. I don't remember the year. It has 2 GB of memory. I have two internal hard-drives, the 150 GB that came in the machine and I installed another 250 GB internal hard-drive. I also have a 115 GB and a 400 GB hard-drive, these are external drives. I have used three monitors since well before I bought the G5. The video card that Apple installed is a Radeon 9600 Pro, it is Quartz Extreme compatible. I had a Radeon VGA added when I bought the computer, it is not Quartz Extreme compatible. iMovie would run but the effects would not work properly.
The first problem that I had to deal with was the problem with the non-Quartz Extreme compatible video card. I called Apple, explained my computer system to a "specialist" upon his recommendation I bought another Radeon 9600 Pro video card only to find out that the board only fits in the AGP. There is only one AGP slot in the G5, all of us users should know that "Right" ? I called Apple back, got another "Specialist", he tells me he knows all about a Mac because he is a "Specialist", he says get a Radeon 9200. I will fit into one of the PCI slots and it is Quartz Compatible. I got the video card and installed the card, same problem, it is not Quartz Extreme compatible. I am a bit irritated at this point so I call Apple back and get another "Specialist". After explaining the problem he tells me that Apple does not test any of the video cards to see what will or will not work. He suggests that I call Radeon and nVIDIA since they make most of the video cards for the Mac. I learned nothing from them. Some one on the forum suggested that I disconnect the monitor cable from my third monitor. I did not think that it would work but it did. Now I can use iMovie and the effects do work. However, I am short one monitor. Once you use three you are spoiled with all of the monitor space.
Once I got the hardware to work I opened one of the movies that I had not completed before upgrading to 6.0.2. It had the "Stutters" so bad that I could no longer work on it. I opened a movie that I had completed before the upgrade, it stuttered also. I opened several others and they all stuttered. They will all burn to DVD and play just fine but I could do no more editing on them because of the stuttering.
If you have read the first posts in this discussion you know that I think that I have found a work-a-round to the stuttering problem. I hope that Apple will correct the software problem with an update before I have to redo all of my movies.
I had to start over this morning on the movie that I was working on yesterday, my narration was all out of sync with my pictures. But, it will be a good test to see if I can repeat the process and not have the stutters. For some reason if I copy and paste all of the narration at one time it has a slight stutter. So I had to copy in about thirds.

Audio stuttering problems with certain exported MP4 files

I'm currently running Captivate 6.1.0.319 on my old and decrepit Pentium 4 machine that has 4GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 SP1. I'm developing an online training course on RoboHelp 10 for Udemy, and they require all lecture files to be in MP4 format. Unfortunately, some of the MP4 files I generate from Captivate have audio stuttering starting a few seconds into the generated video and nothing I try fixes the problem.
All the videos are being recorded with video dimensions of 1360 x 978 pixels. I import the .cptc file I recorded into the .cptx file, and then I import an MP4 audio file into the .cptx file. When I finish editing the .cptx file, I publish it to an MP4 file using the highest video settings and the highest variable bitrate audio settings.
I have tried the following to try to fix the problem:
Turned off SWF compression.
Created a new .cptx file and copied the slide from the problem .cptx file into the new one, and published that new .cptx file.
Disabled all software operating in the foreground and the background.
Tried generating the MP4 file on my laptop; the laptop runs the same version of Captivate on Windows 8.
As I said, Captivate generates some MP4 files perfectly without any stuttering, and others have the stuttering problem. If this problem sounds familiar, it's because I wrote a couple of messages about this a few months ago and despite some good suggestions, I wasn't able to solve the problem. I've spent my time during the past few months trying to find another program that will convert SWF files to one of the formats Udemy supports -- MP4, MOV, or FLV -- without success. Captivate exports to SWF and HTML5 format files without any trouble at all. But MP4 generation is spotty and I need to get this resolved so I can get this project off my plate and start making money off it.
If you have any further questions, please let me know. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks,
Eric Butow

Hi,
I am having the same issue and cannot figure out what is causing it, as it occurs randomly - but fairly frequently - when I publish to mp4. And it is not tied to the project - seems to be something happening during the publishing. The issue might occur one time when pubishing a project and if republished again it may or may not occur again. I would be very interested in finding exactly what is causing this and any step that are tested and proven for getting away from the problem.

Any stuttering problems in FCE like there is in iMovie6?

There are several people experiencing severe stuttering problem in iMovie HD 6.x -- jerky video and stuttering audio during playback in iMovie. It's so bad, that it makes editing impossible. (See the iMovie HD forum and a topic heading called "Lousy iMovie HD ....."). This has nothing to do with HD video, but seems to be triggered by too many extracted audio clips in the edited movie. There may be other triggers that may cause the stuttering.
As a result, I think some of us are glancing towards FCE for salvation. For many amateurs, FCE may be overkill, but it's very frustrating not knowing when (or if) Apple will fix this problem. They've been informed of it through feedback.
Are any FCE users experiencing similar stuttering problems?_____
(I've seen a couple of instances -- of jerky motion -- in this forum, but those problems seemed to have been resolved).
I'm also concerned by a comment made within this FCE forum about common problems importing iMovie projects into FCE. Is this really a problem?____

I don't think anyone can give a definitive answer to using iMovie projects in FCE.
Some people may get away with it but to use it on a regular basis would be tempting fate.
So the answer to this question is a rather unsatisfactory "yes and no".
Regarding stuttering in FCE - this is not a common problem and I suspect that whenever it occurs it is down to user-error - either doing something wrong or using unsuitable equipment.
I am assuming that your references to stuttering are NOT due to interlacing problems. If they are , FCE has several quite efficient Deinterlace and Flicker Filters.

X-Fi Gamer Vista/Windows 7 64x weird stuttering problem...

Xfi Xtreme Gamer Sound card (latest drivers)
Vista 64x & Windows 7 64x
Intel E6700 CPU
4GB RAM
2 x ATI HD 4850 (crossfired)
Right this is my problem...
When running a website with flash in Firefox (haven't checked other browsers) in either operating system and listening to music (or watching flash) my computer either locks up for a period of time or the locks up and whatever sound comes out stutters. When this has happened the sound switches from 7. to stereo and if it stutters again it will switch to stereo back to the correct 7..
Any fixes would be great, thank you.

The is a long shot so bear with me. This almost sounds like a buffering problem where you have the option for selecting how fast you want an applet to stream video to you. For example, if you choose Quicktime to stream to you at T speeds and you are on dialup, it will take forever and skip like crazy. have you recently changed browsers, connections speeds, or installed a codec pack? These suggestions seem random but I feel they are applicable and may help.

Netflix stuttering and pauses...

I finally resolved my in ability to play Netflix videos and after updating to the latest Netflix player I got so many pauses and loss of audio/video sync that I would have to restart a video many times to watch the entire thing. I started looking around and found out that I still had Flash Player 10 on my system. I went to the regular Lenovo market and tried to update it but there was no Update or download button. Just OPEN. I then went to the Android Market web site and downloaded Flash Player 11. Installed it and now have a much improved Netflix experience. I still have a few problems but only a fraction of what I was having with Flash 10. Just thought I would post this in case anyone else was having problems.

Wildman my Droids do this if there not connected to Wi-Fi all the time there was one exception when i was in the big city they seem not to do the stuttering or buffering as bad but they still had there little moments. an i was reading the Youtube post in the Market an there were several that were having issues after the recent update with Youtube so i havent updated my droids yet.

Some playlists don't show up - weird iPod syncing problems

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - couldn't find the answer when I was searching the boards last night. Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an issue with the touch...
Last night, I plugged my iPod touch (1G) into my MacPro to add some new music. This is when things got weird!
First, I noticed that my iPod's name had mysteriously changed since the last time I synced it. It used to be called "Christine's iPod" and now it has reverted to the default "iPod touch."
Next, when I went to add some different playlists to the iPod, I noticed that one of the playlists I wanted to add didn't show up in the Music tab, so I couldn't "tick" it for inclusion on the iPod. This isn't a new playlist, and I have successfully synced it with this iPod in the past. I tried renaming the playlist and making a new playlist with the same songs, and neither of these playlists showed up either. BTW, I definitely don't have too many playlists - I probably have 100-150 playlists total.
Anyway, I restored my iPod and starting from scratch - and the playlist still didn't appear to be available to sync. I ended up adding the playlist by "manually managing" my music, but this isn't an ideal solution. I'd like to be able to sync the playlist!!
Don't know if it's relevant, but my bf also has an iPod touch that he syncs to the same iTunes account. We have separate computer logins, and our iTunes Library is on a shared disk on our MacPro (to prevent needlessly wasting HD space due to song replication) and occasionally we both get messages saying we don't own or don't have permission to access the Library when opening iTunes. To solve this, we alter the permissions on the disk and apply to enclosed items. Maybe this happens after updating iTunes or adding new songs? Not certain what triggers it.
Thanks in advance - this is really bugging me!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Weird event display problem in week view

Hi. I'm getting a weird display problem in week view. First time this has ever happened.
Some events appear to be missing, but when i double click on where I know the event is supposed to be, a new event is created (as excepted), and the missing events suddenly appear. When i move forward or back by a week, and then return to the week in question, the missing events are gone again. But, I can see the missing events in day view or month view.
Any ideas?

Dean,
Next, try reinstalling the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
If that is unsuccessful:
1. Use iCal>Export...>for each one of your individual calendars.
2. Delete all but one of your calendars.
3. Create a calendar and name it "Test."
4. Delete the calendar which remained after step #2.
5. Quit iCal.
6. Remove the iCal plist, and drag the iCal plist file to your Desktop.
7. Log out/in or restart.
8. Restart iCal and use iCal>File>Import...for each one of the calendars that you exported in step #1.
9. Delete the "Test" calendar, and any "Home/Work" calendar which was automatically created when you opened iCal in step #8.

Weird Internet Explorer problem!

Something really stranged has happened to my computer within the past couple of hours. I use IE 5 (yeah, I know...I am hopelessly out of date, but it has all my bookmarks and preferences and I like the way it functions much better than any other browser I've tried...). A little while ago I was doing some surfing and I guess something I did--some page I visited?--caused my Command key to be tied in to Subscriptions. I don't understand how this could be, but it's true. If I want to do something like copy + paste, or something else I might normally use the Command key for, I can't do it. Instead, my pushing the Command key causes a window to pop up asking if I wish to subscribe to the site in question. (Actually, at first, whenever I pushed Command, my subscriptions were updated, so I went in and deleted all my subscriptions, but that didn't take care of the underlying problem.)
I am not particularly computer literate. For instance, I can't even tell you what the bar across the top of my screen is called (the one that starts on the left with the Apple logo, followed by File, Edit, View, Go, etc.). But I can tell you that that bar, when I'm in IE, is fouled up. After "Go," there is a bunch of garbled stuff that reads, approximately (I can't type all the symbols), "p[symbols]>Favorites[symbol]AddPagetoFavoritesD[checkmark]OrganizeFavorites[bu nch of other symbols ending in a black apple]Update Su." Then the bar continues with Tools, Window, and Help. When I click on that bar and the dropdown menu appears, it is some weird, mangled, unusable version of my bookmarks. However, if I use the Favorites tab on the left side of the window, my bookmarks are there and usable.
I've poked all around in Help and Preferences and, not surprisingly, cannot find any way to undo this. (I'd be amazed if I actually found something telling me what to do if my Command key brings up my subscription window!) It's really unfortunate because, as I said, I like IE and this is making it pretty hard for me to use it, since I can't do anything involving the Command key.
Have any of you ever encountered this? It is about the weirdest thing my computer has ever done!
imac Mac OS 9.2.x IE 5

Hmmmm. Are you getting problems with disappearing
words in the menu in IE alone? How about other
programs or when you open your HD - any strangeness
with the titles in the windows?
It seems only to be in IE. By the way, I also have a Mozilla browser on my computer, which I installed because so many sites were simply not working with IE anymore. Mozilla is working fine. If I liked Mozilla as well as IE, I'd just use that, but it has numerous differences (mostly about commands and things like not being able to click and hold on an image or page to open it in a new window) and 9 times out of 10 I prefer the IE way of doing things (though that could mostly be habit).
IIRC, Microsoft is set to remove Internet Explorer
for Mac from it's website VERY soon..
Yeah, I think in April. It's too bad--IE for Mac has become the unwanted stepchild browser.Yahoo doesn't work with it (at least, not the version I have), and I frequently get alerts when I go to sites that tell me my experience won't be optimal since I'm using IE. But I really like it! I use Safari at work (I have OS X there) and, like Mozilla, it has various differences that bug me, plus it just looks strange--somehow less "live" than IE--as if I am looking at a PDF of a web page rather than the actual page.
In a pinch, there's also iCab which is a wonderful
browser that is still being developed for OS 9.

Thanks for the tip. But with an unusual browser like that, don't you get the same warnings all over the net about how this or that site doesn't support your browser?

Netflix buffering problem resolved.

My Netflix/ Apple TV downloading of movies was buffering for 15 seconds or so, every minute . It was a distance problem between the wifi modem and the AppleTV connected to my TV. My Imac and wifi modem were located upstairs at the front of the house. My Apple TV, and TV, were located downstairs at the rear of the house. I could watch Netflix without buffering on my Imac but on my TV it was almost hopeless. Solution : I unplugged all modem connections from my Imac. I took the modem downstairs and plugged it into the telephone line in an adjacent room to my Apple TV, with one plaster wall with door opening separating the modem and Apple TV/TV. When I logged into Netflix on the Imac it went to a associate site which asked me to confirm my e-m address for security puposes and that site then told me that it had detected changes to my settings and had reset them. I now have no buffering whatsoever, the movies are of an excellent clarity. My Imac works perfectly with the wifi modem remote from it, and the Netflix movies downloads without a single pause, with the modem located in close proximity.

Its the DNS, use google's dns in the apple settings, 8.8.8.8.
Use a hard wire cat 6 Ethernet cable. Forget all these wireless adapters, network bridges, and other elusive promises to do away with your Ethernet cables.
I get 127mbps ( with hard wire, and have tried numerous adapters and they are nowhere close.
HOWEVER!!
No matter how fast your connection is, you would need to know at what speeds apple's servers are limited at? What is their top speed per capita (apple tv)?
I have also noticed that some titles (Foreign movies and older movies) buffer (stop and start), especially on previews, no matter what your internet speed is.
This leads me to think that said titles have a lower priority.
I have also noticed that Netflix as well as Apple, in high traffic hours, loses quality (1920x1080) drops to something less.
This ESPECIALLY noticeable on a 10 bit true color panel (sony XBR900A and B), when blacks start pixelating.
Moral of the story, don't put 50 octane gas in a Ferrari, when it requires 100 octane gas.
Don't expect a 4k upscaler in a tv to work properly when the signal is poor.

Stuttering Problem

Hello,
Recently, my project started "stuttering" whenever I play it. When I first open it, it works smooth -- but after about 30 min of editing, it plays back jittery like a scratched DVD would. I'm hoping someone has an idea or maybe a setting to fix it.
I am running FCP 7.0.2 off of a quad core MacPro running 10.6.4. My sequence settings are 1920x1080 HDTV60i. I have tried normal restart program/computer. I have used 2.83TB of a 4TB drive.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shane.
Were you able to help this person sort out his stuttering playback problem? I have searched this forum for an hour, and I can't seem to find much about it... which amazes me, because there are about 500 posts about on Creative Cow.
In a nutshell, from a fully rendered timeline, containing straightforward MiniDV footage and nothing fancy, the playback stutters in what appears to be a perfectly regular pattern... about once a second, it seems to me. Almost looks as though it is connected to the dropped frames in the timecode or something. The playback blinks like a ticking clock. Not just on my external monitor either... the timeline playhead itself seems to stutter.
If Apple has released an update to FCP that fixes this issue, I must have missed it. As far as I am aware, I have loaded all updates that Software Update has offered to install, and the problem persists.
I have also tried trashing the preferences and reinstalling the little Quicktime file suggested by many on the Cow's thread as fixing the problem. While it seems to work temporarily, my stutter always returns.
I'm not sure how to find out the number of the last ProAps update I installed. Perhaps if you know which update is supposed to have fixed this problem, and can tell me where to find some sort of history or installed updates or something, I can check to see if I am current.
Otherwise, I'd appreciate anything you can offer that might help. I'm moving into a busy time, and I simply can't stand not being able to playback my timeline and be confident that I'm seeing what it really looks like.
Any ideas?

Netflix Dubbing Problem After Update

I've owned an Apple TV 2nd Generation since they were released. Use it everyday to watch Netflix. We use that instead of cable.
After the update this week, we get dubbing problems with Netflix.
Note, we have used Netflix on this Apple TV for months without ever experiencing this issue. We never experienced it once.
Since the update, we get this problem, everytime we watch Netflix shows.
What happens is the show plays for a few minutes, and then the video track jumps ahead of the audio by a few seconds. That is, after a few minutes of play, the audio no longer matches the video at all.
This never happen before the update. Now, it happens every time.
Does anyone else experience this?

I have the exact same problem, and like the OP, it didn't start until the new update came out earlier this month. My "fix" is to rewind the show a few seconds, which is also out of sync (the display says I'm backing up one or two seconds, but once I release it actually has backed up more like 30 or so seconds). If I'm unlucky, I may have to go through this rigamarole two or even three times in the same show, but usually once is enough. It always screws up within the first five minutes, usually within the first two.
How exactly are we supposed to restore the ATV "just like an iPod" when the only inputs on the device are HDMI, digital audio, ethernet and power?

Same Sound Stuttering Problem as 50000 other people

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/8560w-sound-stuttering-when-playing-music/m...
and dozens more threads like this
And still no fix. This is ridiculous. I have tried everything, changing to high performance, updating drivers, leaving computer unplugged, turning off HDD protection. Nothing works. This is insane, I work a lot with music how am I supposed to do so when I can't even function on my computer? I think all of us with a problem should just organize into one thread and send a petition or large letter to something. In the mean time, has any one person come up with any other solutions that acould potentially work? Thanks.
