YouTube play back choppy and not in color

Just got the Droid Maxx as the 'free' 2 year upgrade. Only had it a few hours and all seems fine (I'm old and don't need much to make me smile) except YouTube video is choppy and pixels are all out of whack. I search the internet for solutions (I'm old and don't have the patience for this), but I'm not finding any.
Who has the magic wand that will fix my problem?

Thanks for the response!
At the time of the post, I had no video playback issues with any other apps. The YouTube playback was having trouble in the first hour of powering on the phone before YouTube auto updated, and it had the same problem after it auto updated.
I couldn't figure out how to uninstall the entire YouTube app as the only option was to uninstall the update, which I did. I also cleared the YouTube cache and data then reinstalled the YouTube update. Now I'm a happy old guy, because the video plays as it should. I'm not sure if it was reinstalling the update or clearing the cache and data, or possibly some other inadvertent action I took, but it works as it should.
Thanks again for responding.

Video playing back choppy even in Source window

I've been working on a project for a while and wanted to back it up to a hard drive. We have an internal hard drive bay so I shut the computer down, put in a 500GB hard drive, backed up the project, shut the computer down and removed the hard drive.
Now, all of the sudden, my footage is playing back choppy. I probably shouldn't say it's playing back choppy because what happens is I'll take a raw clip, load it into the Source window start it playing and it plays fine for about 8 seconds, then it starts stuttering, the audio drops out completely and then it completely freezes up. It doesn't seem to matter what clip I'm using and all of these clips used to play back fine.
We are using a Matrox RT.X2 card and the footage is on four 500GB hard drives that are in a RAID 5 array, so I have a total of 1.5TB of space. Would defraging the drives make a difference?
I'm not sure why this has just started when nothing was added or taken away from the project.
The computer's specs are as follows:
Win XP Pro
2.66Ghz Core2 Quad
4GB Ram
GeForce 7600GT
Matrox RT.X2 Card
300GB SATA HD for Operating System
4x 500GB SATA HDs in RAID 5 array for Footage

According to the Intel Matrix Storage Console (which is the software that monitors and controls the RAID array on this motherboard, an Intel D975XBX2), the raid is working properly and is not being rebuilt.
To check and make sure the software was working properly I shut down the computer, unplugged one of the hard drives in the array and restarted the computer. The monitoring software reported that the array was missing a hard drive.
I have seen before when the array was being rebuilt. It will state this in the monitoring software. But the software is reporting all is well.
So I backed up everything and deleted the RAID array. I recreated the RAID array and was still getting the same problem. To test every time, I have a 900MB file that only takes about 20 seconds to transfer between two single SATA hard drives in the same computer. When I tried copying this to the RAID array it said it was going to take about 30-40 minutes!
I removed my boot drive and put in a spare that we had, formatted it and installed Windows XP, hoping that the problem was in the operating system. After installing the mobo drivers I tried copying the 900MB file and again it was going to take 30-40 minutes.
I deleted the RAID array and just made each of the 4 500GB hard drives a separate drive. I formatted each of them and tried copying the 900MB file to each. Each one of them only took about 20 seconds on their own to copy the file.
SO, I'm assuming that the problem is the RAID controller on the motherboard. The motherboard has an Intel ICH7R/DH SATA RAID controller. I purchased a Rosewill RC-209-EX PCI controller from Newegg.com and I'm really hoping this will fix my problems. I'm having it overnighted (which costs more than the controller itself) so I'll put it in tomorrow.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.

Song works fine in itunes but when i transfer it to my phone it playes back brocken and begins to skip. any solutions??

song works fine in itunes but when i transfer it to my phone it playes back brocken and begins to skip. any solutions??
I have already restored my phone to the newest software and also completely uninstalled itunes and re downloaded it.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

Any movie I play either in my library or thru my ipod has the audio choppy and not match the video windows 8

I am so ****** off! I have been trying to resolve this for 2 months now with NO help from Apple. I can play a movie fine in quicktime but when I try to play it in itunes the audio is choppy and does not match the video. The setting seem to be the same. It all worked fine up until a quicktime update 2+ months ago.

I hope that this helps your situation. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23344208#23344208 You can try adjusting your Itunes playback settings for the audio to match your computer's audio settings. I posted in that thread about my positive results. Good luck.

My browser seems to crash quite a lot and Ive noticed a lot of you tube videos dont play back correctly and have a green bar across the screen

Ive had the browser a couple of days now and I've noticed it crashes occasionally. Ive also noticed it doesn't play back videos off you-tube correctly and there is a green band going across them as they play. I think this may be an issue with adobe flash player. If i play the video via the popout button, it seems ok.
I don't know if the crashing and playback issues are related.

I disabled acceleration in the flash player by linking to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting and scrolling to the line that specifically outlined my problem - split horizontal screen with green line - clicked on the flash link then right clicked the flash icon and ticked disable acceleration.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled more programs then I probably need to.
We will see how long it lasts* site explains it may not be permanent

Video play back choppy

The video play back is very choppy on itunes. I have read two trouble shooting topics about video play back but I don't understand them. I have vista. Do any of you have any ideas? Is the any phone or online support for itunes? I can't find any links tech support.

Hello @GSW1964,
I understand that you are getting choppy video playback on your HP Pavilion Slimline s7410n Desktop PC running Windows 7. What type of video are we talking about here live streaming? What steps have you taken? Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration?
Please re-post with as much information as possible and I will be happy to assist you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Quicktime playing back speed, and audio sync

Hello,
I'm trying to use QTPro instead of iMovie to digitize ntsc video because it produces a single DV file instead of multiple files in iMovie. This saves the rendering process in iMovie. These files need to be a single video file and are used in a chase computer for audio post work. Typical program lengths are between 1 and 3 hours, sometimes more.
When playing the files back in QT the audio progressively drifts even though the firewire box has a switch for "locked audio" that supposedly deals with long DV audio drift.
Another problem that may be related, but certainly can't be good for post work, is that the Movie Info window shows a movie rate of 29.97, correct, but a playing rate of 30. I can't figure out how to get that to play at 29.97.
One last question - the QT record settings have different resolutions (640xxx?) than the native DV resolution of 720xxx, and seem to have a slightly different pixel aspect ratio as well.
Any ideas about these issues? It's messed up my workflow for now, as the iMovie solution has an extra step that takes up double the disk space and extra time.
Digitizing box is a Canopus ADVC-100 with an external 3.5" firewire drive for video, no other apps running at the same time.
Thanks

I'm definitely at 48k/16b, with locked audio on the Canopus.
Sounds like you've got it covered, then. Not sure what else would be causing the A/V drift then, assuming "lock" circuit is functioning properly.
I watched the playing rate and it's mostly at 30 with an occasional dip to 29.75, possibly averaging to 29.97. Hopefully it's correctly playing 29.97
Your upper and lower observed excursions exactly match my own.
The older projects were indeed done with an early version of iMovie and would segment at just under 10 minutes - the 2G limit.
Correct. On mine the "just under" 2 GB limit equated to 9'11" for the first break and 9'8" for each additional. Not sure how exact this carryover is between machines and external drives.
I did a test today using my current version, iMovie HD 5, and it segmented a 2h10min program at just over 1hour per segment. Do you happen to know if the newest iMovie corrects this?
Am wondering if this test is repeatable and/or consistent between capture of different material. Have noted two instances that seem to cause segmentation and/or total termination of capture. One is a "weak" drive sector that passes read/write tests (i.e. test usually done with multiple but limited re-write attempts) but drops a frame during actual capture and trips termination on my older G4 laptop (using older version of iMovie with preference set to do this). As to current iMovie version (v6.02), would assume this could happen if "automatic scene detection" is turned on and a dropped frame is detected. In addition, if this option is turned on, a "time limit" for capture can then be specified. Can't remember if these preference options were included in previous versions of iMovie. You may want to check on this possibility.
I can certainly try the Vidi app you mentioned.
Application is a basic, dedicated, "no frills" utility with fewer "platform limitations" (it works on older platforms/OS) than iMovie. I find it very handy for mobile capture using my old laptop. Here is the VersionTracker link if interested:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18234&page=2
After updating various things I tried using QTPro recording as a test, and after about 1h50min it crashed, leaving the file unfinished and useless. Is there a reputation with QTPro recording? Is it rumored to be unstable? I'm a bit nervous using it now. I keep my systems streamlined for audio post, so I doubt it's a conflict.
Tend to consider it "an afterthought" added to the latest version of QT and as such, a "work still in progress." Frame rates have greatly improved with the last few updates but, like you, I still consider it more of a novelty at this time -- handy for some usese but not something I would trust for precision work.
I solved that by showing package contents of the iMovie project and removing the media clip, a dv file.
I certainly see no problem with this approach if all you want is access to the "raw" material in a file format and especially if you keep it on the same drive. (I.e., all your are doing here is changing the VTOC pointers to the data and not actually copying and/or moving any vast amounts of data, not to mention, it additionally saves drive space.) Basically, the export/copy approach means re-writing vast amounts of data which is directly related to speed of your external drive, CPU and the speed of your target drive. For some purposes, the creation of a reference file may be handy. But even here, you are usually just postponing an inevitable time delay somewhere else in your work flow.

Play back recording and only the voice of presenter can be heard

Dear all,
When we played back the meeting recording done in 2012-Dec, we found only the voice of the presenter can be heard. The voice of the Host is lost.
We saw that the player interface is changed.
Is there something we can set to hear all voices in the meeting?
Best Regards,
Ivan

Anybody find cause/fix for movies that play one day and not another?

I have a lot of movies. I find that at times I go back to watch a movie I have watched before and it errors saying cannot play movie, unrecognized format. Though I have watched it before on the AppleTV without issue.
I try again maybe a week later and it works. Then later, others won't play.
Very frustrating when I know the movie works as I have watched it before.
So, just curious if anybody else has seen this and knows why or at least a quick fix to get it to work. Rebooting the ATV and/or computer doesn't work.

It happens (when it does, as mentioned, doesn't always have issue) when streaming a movie.
eg: I get new movie. I have sync options to sync 5 most recent unwatched movies and 10 most recent unwatched tv shows and all music.
So new movie is on ATV. I watch. All is good.
When done ATV does it's thing and takes it off and brings over the next most recent to keep my count at 5 local to the ATV.
Later I want to watch again when wife gets home or something. Here is when sometimes I can watch (it streams) and other times (just happening more and more lately) it will say unrecognized format.
Yet if I go pick another movie that I know is not local to the ATV thus will stream, it will work. Just random various movies won't.
If I go to iTunes and mark one that isn't playing as unwatched (and it was more recent than another on the ATV) then it will sync over to the ATV and be local again and play fine again.
Thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Some stuff will stream fine, other times won't. Real pain and has only been getting worse lately.
Guess I know that the error message of "unrecognized format" is just wrong and it that must be some general message because I know it is in right format.

Tracks in my ipod 5g get a "stop" symbol at the side and wont play anymore, purchased and not purchased on iTunes music

Some tracks in my library get this "stop" symbol (a square inside a circle) and won't play anymore, won't sync anymore either. The tracks affected include ones bought on iTunes and not from iTunes. I've tried to delete manually random tracks and sync, Reset all settings, unsync all the music, restore an ipod backup and the result is the same.

Here is the symbol, once i touch the tracks it turns grey

When I play a youtube video in one tab, then scroll up and down in any tab, the audio from the youtube video gets choppy and cuts out for a second. How to fix?

I just want to be able to go on other websites and scroll while playing music (smoothly) on youtube in another tab.
I don't think this happened until after I updated my firefox to 13 and my shockwave flash plug-in to 11.3.300.257
How can I fix this cutting out and choppy-ness in youtube videos when I scroll?
Thanks so much!

Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
