Why do videos freeze while your playing them?

What do I need to do to stop videos from freezing while they are playing?

The usual reason is that your internet connection cannot download the data fast enough to keep up with the action, so now and again you have to wait for the data to be downloaded.

    What error messages are you getting? The videos are likely created with Flash, or another plug-in, which can't be played on the iPad.

  • Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

    I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox.  In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding.  If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine.  I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs.  The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue.  I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

    This appears to have reduced the time to load a document.  Thanks Jimb      From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

  • Video freezing while watching tv shows bought on I tunes.

    The video is freezing while watching tv shows bought on Itunes. The sound plays on. This just started.
    I rebooted and same problem. ???

    Some TV shows can be purchased in High Definition (HD) or Standard Definition (SD). Don't get the HD version if your computer can't play it properly. Here's what you need:
    Macintosh Hardware
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, G4, or G3 processor
    Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater
    Playing videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor
    *Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor*
    512MB of RAM; *1GB is required to play HD-quality videos*
    Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM

  • [SOLVED] flashplugin video freezing while audio is fine

    I saw a post about this on this forum, but I've been searching the forum for about 5 hours now and I can't find it, so I'll post a new topic.
    When I do almost anything with adobe flash (in firefox or chromium) after about five seconds the visual freezes while the audio goes on.  I hesitate to call it "video" because this happens with games and such, not just youtube-type videos.  If I right click on the flash animation/video/whatever you want to call it, it starts working again, but only for a few seconds before the same thing happens again.
    Also, if I make videos fullscreen, it's just a black screen the first time.  I exit fullscreen and do it again and then it works.  Sometimes the video for that freezes, too, but less often.
    I've tried uncommenting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and that doesn't help.  In fact, if I try a fullscreen video with that uncommented, the X server crashes when I try to exit fullscreen.
    I've got an intel video card and I've tried playing with xorg.conf enabling EXA with greedy MigrationHeuristic, UXA, XAA, I've tried turning off tiling.  Nothing works.  And I'm not using compiz or anything like that.  I've tried everything I know.  Anybody have any other suggestions???  (Please...?)

  • Youtube videos freeze, audio keeps playing. As long as I keep moving my cursor, it play ok. What's wrong?

    This seems to happen on all Youtube video's I play. I don't know about other videos because I seldom view any others. When the video freeze happens the download bar is always ahead of the play bar so I don't think download is the problem. However, when the freeze happens, the download bar stops moving. When the play bar catches up to the download bar, the audio stops also. If I move my cursor, the video and audio start playing again. As long as I keep my cursor moving, the video plays fine. I am using Firefox 18.0.1. Computer is an HP dv6-1350us with dual processors. OS is Windows 7. I also use Chrome at times and the freeze doesn't happen on Chrome.

    hello vearlbible, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - please go trough the troubleshooting steps provided in the following help document by adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071
    or as an alternative you could try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) & see if this solves the issue.

  • Why IPod skips songs and ITunes plays them

    I loaded the songs from CD and have played them several times over 2 or 3 years.  Recently, I tried to play them on my IPod Classic and they just skip to the next track.  I have restored my IPod and reloaded it.  Still, the songs won't play.

    Is it only a particular group or tracks or just any of your tracks loaded from CD at random?
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • Green screen and video freezing while maximizing videos playing in iTunes?

    After a year-and-a-half of seamless operation, iTunes started malfunctioning yesterday. When trying to play a video (either a TV show or a music video), the video will often freeze when I hit command-F to maximize. The audio keeps playing just fine. Sometimes I'm able to get the video running again by hitting escape and command-F a few times, and by hitting space bar repeatedly to pause and unpause. Before starting to work, iTunes displays a green screen for a half-second.
    My system is at 10.5.8 and my iTunes is fully updated. My computer is an aluminum-unibody MacBook Pro 15".
    I have tried turning the computer off for a while, reinstalling iTunes, and switching from discrete graphics to integrated graphics, all without any improvement. I doesn't happen every time I play a video or a TV show, but it does happen a majority of the time, and it often takes 10-20 seconds of fiddling to get the video to play.
    Any ideas? I'm stumped.

    I've been having the same problem as you Mitlov. This is one of the reasons I always get a bit leery about updating my current version of iTunes, iPhone, or iPod. Something always stops working amongst one or more of them. Two years ago I updated iPod and I remember it took a month before I could get the iPod to work again. If you hear about a fix for this problem (besides just buying Snow Leopard) please post it back in the discussions. There are a lot of people who will benefit from it!

  • Dvd player not working after Instaling OS X 10.8.4 Video freezes while audio keeps playing

    After installing OS X 10.8.4 I tried to play a DVD and the video starts to freeze up while audio keeps playing. Video eventually stops completely while audio continues to play. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

    Try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the same problem occurs.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I cannot believe my problem has not occurred to hundreds of quicktime subscribers and that no one has a clue to this flashcard-like halting video problem.

  • Is it possible to have a video loop while audio plays in a motion menu?

    Hi!
    Here's the deal:
    I have a seamlesly looping 8 second video clip for my motion menu, but the audio file for that menu lasts 1 minute. For rendering time/disc space and bit budgeting purposes I would like to use the video file as a loop while the audio file plays trough in my motion menu.
    Is it possible to have the video file loop while the audio plays trough, or do I have to make my video 1 minute long too?
    Any help will be appreciated!

    The video must also be 1 minute long too.
    You could always loop the 8 second clip though.
    Load up Premiere, add your loop & 1 minute audio clip.
    Set 2 seconds silence at the head of the audio.
    Loop your 8 second clip 8 times to give you a 64 second video clip.
    This will give you 2 seconds of silence at the trailing end, but there is really no other way
