Why since 3.6.6 Video Watching in Firefox become a downright pain?

When I try and watch videos, on youtube especially, the controls for the videos are unresponsive and turn the entire browser unworkable until I minimize it and restore it. Also, if I try and enlarge the video, the video will freeze in its small version and audio will continue.
Lastly, if I have a few videos open on separate tabs, it slows down firefox to a crawl even though the memory usage is relatively light compared to what I am used to, 300k-ish.

I was having the same issues but I found in another thread to update your codecs. I use the K-Lite codec pack. Here's the link.
[http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm k-lite codec]
When you go there you can choose from any of the types from basic to mega. Any of them should work and when installing just use all the defaults. Just a reminder if you have installed the codec pack before or have other codec packs uninstall those before installing the new k-lite pack. I hope this helps.

  • Audio in videos watched in firefox continually goes out of synch?

    Over the last 12 months any audio in any video i watch in Firefox will go out of synch, it doesn't happen in chrome or opera or even IE, only firefox.
    I have enabled hardware acceleration and tried all the "fixes" found online, and nothing works.

    If the original audio was recorded in 12 bit mode, it's likely to consistently drift out of sync. This can sometimes be solved in iMovie by Extracting the Audio from all the clips.
    A couple ideas to consider:
    - split the project to go onto two DVDs and use a case that holds both.
    - create a disk image (Save As Disk Image) which creates a virtual DVD on your desktop that you can play/check.
    - burn the disks at a slow speed setting.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.

  • Since upgrading to Leopard, videos online (youtube) are skipping

    Since I've upgraded to Leopard on my MacBook Pro, it seems that when I watch videos online (youtube) using Safari or Firefox, the video lags and skips, as though the internet connection is slow. However, a mac user next to me using the same connection has no problem watching the videos. Sometimes after rebooting, the video seems to stream a little better for a short while, but after a few minutes the video skips and lags once again. It does not seem to be a browser issue since it happens with both Safari and Firefox. A few others have had this issue and have posted questions but I have yet to read a solution.
    Any thoughts?

    because all the videos on youtube a flash files, i'd suggest going to Adobe's website and getting the new flash player for osx (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&ogn=EN_US-gntray_dlgetflashplayer ), that should fix your problems, also if you are still on 10.5.0 i'd suggest updating to 10.5.3

  • HT3209 My computer meets and exceeds the requirements to watch HD 1080p movies,why does it say I cannnot watch the file may be to large and how can I fix this??

       How can I fix the topic question.I can watch HD movies all day using my Bluray Player why can't iTunes let me watch the movies in 1080p and why does it say the movies are to large.

    This is for the Windows 8-8.1 users out there:  If you have the Pro version of Windows 8 and just recently upgraded to 8.1, Microsoft automatically includes a Virtual Machine package called Hyper-V client.  It doesn't ask you if you want to install it, it just does.
    This may also apply to Windows 7 users who may have inadvertently installed some version of Hyper-V on their computer.
    The Hyper-V package installs a secondary video driver that breaks HDCP, which means you can't play HD movies even on a compliant system.  You need to get rid of it.  To do so:
    Go to Control Panel
    Programs and Features
    Turn Windows Features on or Off
    Uncheck "Hyper-V"
    Reboot.
    This applies to almost anything that requires HDCP, so if you're having trouble with Blu-Rays or Amazon Prime, that's likely the culprit.

  • Why so long to stream video I took on my iPhone?

    Why so long to stream video I took on my iPhone? It should be fast considering it doesn't even have to access the Internet yet takes several minutes to buffer a 2 min movie?

    ThjeVMan can definitely download it to a Mac if he has one.  Since he didn't mention a Mac I assumed he didn't have one. 
    Launch Image Capture and connect the iPhone to the Mac to upload the video to the Desktop.  From there it's into iDVD or another DVD authoring application. 
    ThjeVMan:
    If you have a Mac what system are you running and what model Mac do you have.  Also what system came preinstalled on the Mac.

  • Why doesn't Lightroom organise videos/photos lacking "date taken" by "date modified" instead of "date created"?

    This still seems to be a problem with Lightroom 5. This post is one of the top results after trying to Google this problem, and it's for LR3. I can't understand why something so fundamental to video (and some photo) organisation has been overlooked for so long.
    I've been trying to import and organise all my old photos and videos by date with LR5. They've been backed up and copied many times over the years, most recently to an external drive last week. So every file has a "date created" of last week. But "date modified" remains the original recorded date.
    This doesn't matter for photos with a proper EXIF "date taken" - but LR5 looks at the "date created" for videos, making it completely useless for organising them into date-based folders. It puts videos I recorded in 2010 (as per "date modified") into a 2014-12 folder. Why.
    It's not just a video problem - some photos I took with devices that didn't record EXIF "date taken" are also filed into folders from this month, even though the "date modified" on them is correct as being from 5 years ago.
    How can I rely on LR5 for importing and date-based organisation when it relies on files (lacking "date taken") having never been copied or backed up?

    Hello,
    I use exiftool to modify the  Creation and Modification time of the files. After that I use LR "Ajust time" feature to set the time of the movies in LR to the file creation time (last point). This works fine for me.
    For MOV (Quicktime):
    exiftool "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate"  "-FileCreateDate<TrackCreateDate"
    For AVI:
    exiftool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal"  "-FileCreateDate<DateTimeOriginal" *.avi
    Depnding on your camera (and container format mov, avi) you may also ajust the time zone, e.g.
    exiftool -FileModifyDate+=1 -FileCreateDate+=1 -if "$CameraModelName =~ /EOS 600D/i" *.mov
    Which time in the container (MOV, AVI) you use as source, depends on your workflow. I edit my mov files before import. Therfore "CreateDate" is the time when I edited the file. Quicktime and (some) avi file contain a time when the containing stream was created. I use this vaule as source.
    exiftool <filename> gives you detailed information about all available times.

  • I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

    I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4.  How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

    You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

    why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? HElp me please..

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:
