Hi,
Are you talking about online or offline ? If online, the connection speed may be not fast enough.

  • I uploaded videos to website server and when playing videos they keep buffering and stop & start

    Hello, I edited videos in PP CS6 and encoded 1920x1080 clips in .mp4 format. Encoded vbr 2pass 5.00 mbps , audio is AAC 320 kbps, 48khz. The videos play perfect in player on destop, and when downloaded from site, but don't play well
    in website player..Even after encoding down to 1280x720, and with a much smaller file size, they still don't play well on site. Please help-

    Jim, thank you for responding to my call for help. The internet server that I am uploading videos to, says that it is something to do with my videos size. Like I said I brought the size down to 1280x720 and also
    reduced the quality and size of the clips but they still buffered extensively. I had the designer change the player but that was not the problem. So I am back where I began. The server uploaded their video and it
    played with no problem so I am thinking its a small correction I need for html5 playability with my clips.

  • Slide videos (FLV's) starting and stopping

    I've published a number of swf's for a training course that I'm producing. Each of these contain a couple of FLV's, inserted as slide videos, one at the front of the slideset and the other about half way through. The problem is that a number of people who are beta testing for me are having issues replaying the FLV's within the swfs, as they keep stopping and starting before they can view them properly.
    I have a preloader on the front of every swf, so shouldn't that give enough time for the FLV to buffer before playing, or doesn't the FLV preload at all?
    I'd really appreciate some help with this.
    Thanks,
    Pippa

    Hi George,
    That's really very helpful of you!  Many thanks. However, my problem is with the FLV video starting and starting. That is being downloaded as an external file within the swf that I'm playing, so the loader widget would only have an effect upon any flash element of the swf and not upon an FLV.
    As far as I can see, the preloader doesn't have any effect upon the FLV, so if you have an FLV as the first slide, the preloader runs until the swf has downloaded, the swf starts to play, but then you get a black loading screen, while the FLV downloads.  I also have another FLV in the middle of the slideset, so when the swf gets to that point, again, I get a black loading screen until the video has downloaded. 
    I'm struggling to find a solution.  It's really very important that the swf including FLV's play smoothly all the way through, as I'm producing a set of talking head training videos with quizzes and they need to look professional. I like the way Captivate produces slidesets together with the ability to produce quizzes, but I'm not sure that the video integration is so good.
    The only option I can think of is to take out the quizzes and produce those as swfs and then publish the remainder of the slidesets as mp4's, rather than swf's.
    Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
    Thanks Pippa
    Good luck with your question, George.  I'll take a look at it, but suspect that I'm more in the dark about it than you!

  • When purchased, my imac would load pages very quickly.  Now, the pages seem to take much longer to load and when watching video or streaming, it often stops to catch up or rebuffer.  What do I do to speed things up?

    When I purchased my iMac last month the pages would load quickly when using the internet browser.  Now it takes much longer to load the pages and when I watch a video it pauses to catch up or is rebuffering the streaming.  What can I do to speed up my browser?

  • Hard drive starts and stops a few times

    I went to my parents for the Christmas holidays today and tried to use their older computer to put music on to my iPod. Since it's so old I couldn't use iTunes, so instead I used Ephpod. After it was done copying the files to the iPod I saved the changes and disconnected, but immediately afterwards instead of going straight to the menu, the hard drive started and stopped about 10-15 times with the Apple logo being displayed. Now I can't reach the menu, the hard drive will start and stop spinning until it gives up, and when I reconnect it to the computer it won't even recognize it as an external drive. Any ideas?

  • Sound through hdmi to my tv works but not when watching video online like 4OD

    the sound through hdmi to my tv works with music and videos I have downloaded, but not when watching video online like 4OD and youtube.
    How can I get it to work?

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • Music starts and stops during playback of burned DVD

    I really need help with this problem...I made a slideshow and added music from itunes in the program IDVD. Once I burned the DVD the music will start and stop throughout the DVD and not at chapters as I read in other threads - but in random places on the DVD. The DVD sounds like it gets hung up and then starts again. This is my first project using IDVD, so any help would be great.

    Debra,
    Do your project have music purchased from iTunes? If so, that could be the cause of this problem. Music from iTunes is DRM-protected and can cause problems in playback. To take care of this, first burn all of your purchased music to a CD, then reimport in an aiff format. To do this, in iTunes, go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. Look for "Import using", and use the drop-down menu to select AIFF encoder.
    Good luck.

  • When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to cancel it.

    When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to close it out.  I get no warnings or any explanations. Any ideas?  I am running Windows 7.  No problem viewing it in LR.  Thanks

    Found out LR wasn't stopping but slowed way down. For 19 pictures, no video and no sound it took over 6 Hrs to export.  Does anyone have any ideas to help this?  Thank You.

  • How to eliminate the "Ping" sound when starting and stopping videoing

    How to eliminate the "ping" sound when starting and stopping a video on iPhone.  Thanks.

    I asked my friends on Facebook and one came up with the answer... I just had to flip the little "ring-silent switch" on the side of the iPhone to cut the "Pinging" sound!  There's probably another way but this works!

  • Inserting FLV videos that allow student to start and stop anywhere

    Hello,
    I am inserting flv videos that students need to be able to start and stop anywhere, and when the video reaches the end, the student clicks on the NEXT button to go to next slide.
    As long as the student lets the video play without any interruptions, the NEXT button appears at the end.
    THe problem I am having is that everything works except the NEXT button is not appearing at the end of the Video unless the NEXT button is visible for the whole time the video is on.
    If the NEXT button is visible during the whole time the video is showing, the student is able to skip the video without watching it.
    I need the students to view the whole video as part of the course.
    Is this possible?

    Your original post didn't mention that the students should be able to repeat a portion of the video again if they choose to do so. This of course complicates matters further as you would then need to show either one of the standard Captivate playbars or use a Playbar widget as you are doing now. However, this also opens up for the user being able to skip the video once again, so it's not the best solution.
    As I see it you have two options:
    1) Present the video without the playbar as I described in my first post. Add the next button at the end of the video. This will make sure that the video has been watched to the end before the user can continue to the next slide. Perhaps you could add a "Replay" button so that the user would be able to watch the entire video again simply by replaying the slide.You can create Start and Stop(Pause) buttons by inserting Smart Shapes or Regular buttons and assign an Advanced Action to Pause or Continue the project.
    2) Modify one of the Playbar widgets so that the scrubber and the next button isn't activated until a certain frame has been reached on that particular slide. Once this frame is reached the widget could activate Play and Scrubber allowing the users to navigate to the next slide or move around in the video. However, this requires extensive knowledge of Flash and Actionscript to achieve and it will also be a very troublesome approach as the frame numbers would change if you insert new slides (or extend / shorten existing slides) prior to the slide(s) containing the video.

  • 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.

  • Why do videos from the internet start and stop, Why do videos from the internet start and stop

    When I try to watch even a short video from the internet, it starts and stops....its annying....any ideas?

    Maybe the speed of your internet connection has some bearing on it?
    But you could give this a try - reset Safari and see if that helps at all.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Starting and stopping video and MP3

    I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    >>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
    wherever I can find it and builds something at the same time.<<
    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.

  • Flash video is just awful - starts and stops

    10.6.8 iMac 4Gb ram.  Main browser Firefox.
    Flash video has gotten progressively worse with Adobe updates over last 3 months.  Used to run youtube smooth as glass.
    Now yt video runs for a 30 sec then stops, restarts after 5seconds, runs for 15, stops for 5.  If you rerun the same video (see wrchd.com for Argentine Rally preview video), it stops and starts at the same spots.
    I have Little snitch running a you can see a nice buffer load of data come in to start the video, then there is a period when there's no activity until it stops.  It sort of like Flash gets carried away watching its own display and forgets to get more info.
    Same results watching dailyshow.
    I've tried turning hardware acceleration in Flash off and on with no change in performance.
    So why does Flash fail now?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Is the video starting and stopping or just the audio?  What OS, browser, and Flash Player Version are you using?  Can you also provide us with a URL to try out?
    Thanks,
    Chris
