Zen X-Fi2 - Choppys/skipping video playback

+ Just wondering if anyone else has this issue?
I'll get choppy or out of sync sound with avi/divx etc (whatever format tv shows are recorded in).
I have only just upgraded the latest firmware and?haven't tried playing any videos again - although the firmware doesn't mention any video fixes....
Its strange - my (slowly dying) Zen Vision: M plays things perfectly but the X-Fi2 just doesn't cope.

/Re: Zen X-Fi2 - Choppys/skipping video playback< Hi,
I was wondering, is the video playback also choppy? Because the X-Fi2 does have some limitations concerning the resolution and the bitrate of the video part of the file. If they are too high it will get choppy or doesn't play at all.
If it is just the sound that is choppy, I would have a look at the audio format. I read (www.formatoz.com) with these settings:?
video: AVI, mpeg-4 (Xvid) , resolution: 640x480 (or lower), bitrate:?768.
audio: mp3, bitrate doesn't really matter.
About the difference with your Vision: M , I also noticed that my old Zen Vision was a little less picky about the formats in the video... maybe that one had a stronger processor?

  • Video Playback Skipping After Updating Memory Storage

    I am currently using a Macbook from 2006, originally running on OS X Tiger but upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard back in 2009. That switch worked fine, no problems. Recently, in an attempt to make my macbook faster, I upgraded the Memory storage. This is my systems original hardware specs:
      Model Name: MacBook
      Model Identifier: MacBook1,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed: 2 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 2 MB
      Memory: 1 GB
      Bus Speed: 667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version: MB11.0061.B03
      SMC Version (system): 1.4f12
    I upgraded the Memory from 1 GB to 2 GB as was recommended by Crucial.com. Since the upgrade, any time I watch videos on my computer, the video freezes, skips and/or the audio cuts in and out. I've since switched my Memory back to 1GB and still encounter the same issues. Aside from stating the obvious -- yes I know it's an old computer and I'm due for a computer upgrade in general -- is there a way to improve this video playback issue? Or is the other hardware in my Macbook so dated that the Memory upgrade is too powerful for my computer to maintain? Any serious feedback is much appreciated.

    The memory upgrade isn't too powerful, and Snow Leopard should run ok in 2gb of ram. Video takes a lot of resources, try to not have anything else running when you watch video and see if that helps.  Are you trying to watch online videos or are these videos stored on your hard drive or a DVD? You might try running Activity Monitor to see if something is running in the background using up valuable resources
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used (OS X Mountain Lion and earlier)
    MAkesure that both sticks of memory are being recognized and also make sure that your hard drive isn't getting too full.

  • ITunes 11 HD video playback slow/choppy/stutter/skipping in OSX

    Hi guys,
    I'm running iTunes 11.0.1 in OS 10.8.2 on my 2.66 GHzm, 8 GB RAM MacBook Pro and playback in HD (1080p) movies/TV shows in iTunes is slow, choppy, stuttering and skipping. Can't seem to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I was having this same problem, and found one cause.
    I have an extensive library on a Drobo FS.  None of the AppleTV's in the house have any problem streaming full 1080p from it, but my new iMac does.  Choppy / laggy video play.  Movies and TV shows right from the iTunes store.  I can have 3 TV's streaming, and even a 4th laptop, all streaming from the iMac iTunes using the Drobo.  They all have zero issues.  No lag, no choppy, nothing.  iMac has the issue even when nothing else is running.  Every time.
    BTW, it's happend on my old iMac and the brand new one, both with iTunes 11.
    I was told to try setting up a second account on my iMac, and try playing video there.  It worked.  No problems at all.  Weird.
    So I started looking at differences between the new account, and my standard.  I'd already made sure nothing unusual was running, and no processor hogs (not that anything short of Handbrake at full settings has come close to pegging out the processers on the new box).  I found one thing, that made a difference.  I had Timemachine backups, going to the same Drobo FS (though a different partition) turned on on the iMac.
    Timemachine was running the whole time, and didn't impact any other streaming from the same machine, but it did make iTunes video playback of 1080p movies skip like my 6 year old daughter on the iMac.  I turned it off.... no more skipping.  I've watched 5 TV shows and 2 movies on that account, and not had another single incident.
    Obviously, there is still a problem.  The iMac and Drobo have enough bandwidth that they can do all the work at the same time (or I'd be seeing the problem on the other devices while streaming), but they are not playing well together on the same account.  I've also checked the throughput to the Drobo FS from the iMac... way more than necessary.  If it were a read / write thing on the Drobo, then I'd expect other devices to see the issue when I'm watching something on the iMac that is skipping, but there was still no skipping on any other device at that same time...
    But, as I said, I found the root cause in my case.  I can turn off Timemachine backups while I'm watching a movie on the iMac, or I can move where I write the Timemachine backups to (going to try this over the weekend to be sure it works).  If moving the Timemachine backup to a different drive doesn't work, it's a bigger problem.
    I'd really love to see Apple fix this and the issue where I have to turn iTunes on in 32bit mode when using an external library (of it gives the funky quicktime error until you delete and readd the movie).
    Hope this helps some of you, if not all.

  • Online Video Playback Jolting/skipping

    Sorry if i've posted in the wrong sub-forum, I will move elsewhere if necessary.
    My problem is with online video playback, whether on youtube, vimeo, facebook or myspace, it's always the same problem.
    The video, even when fully buffered jolts, or skips, the sounds is usually ok [not for vimeo. The video literally stops and starts every 1-3 seconds repeatedly. This makes watching some videos very irritating and i have no clue to avoid it. I've researched it and found nothing.
    I use the latest Firefox [3.0.5], and it doesn't seem to be as bad with Safari

    I'm afraid this is the wrong sub-forum, but never mind!
    It sounds very much like a line speed problem. Even when "fully buffered", the buffers can empty distressingly fast, leaving your playback hiccuping.
    There are three approaches that I know of:
    1) Have a go at your ISP/telecoms company, and get them to check the line, the ADSL gear, and the speed of your connection (try also with Speedtest or a similar service).
    2) Try resetting/restarting your modem and/or router.
    3) If nothing can be done to improve the situation, download your videos before watching them (e.g. using RealPlayer Download Manager, or by ctrl-clicking and choosing Download Linked File.
    Good luck!

  • Video playback skips/stalls

    Greetings all.
    Bit of a mystery here.
    I have a Late 2009 iMac that I occasionally use Win7 on via Boot Camp for gaming.
    I have iTunes installed so I can watch Movies/TV Shows from my library (served via iTunes running on 2012 i7 Mac Mini).
    When playing any video in Windows 7 with iTunes (SD/HD), it stutters, skips and eventually stalls.
    The curious issue is when booted into OS X, I can play the same video in iTunes with no problem.
    I have attempted the fix in the KB article related to iTunes/Windows 7 video playback.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
    (disable Direct3D accel/Disable DirectX in QuickTime)
    The iMac specs are:
    i7, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, 512MB Radeon 4850M, 1Gbit wired ethernet to same switch as Mini
    OS X 10.8.5
    Windows 7 64-bit, SP1
    Thanks!

    Ok, did some further experimentation.
    The same movie plays perfectly on:
    My iMac (OS X), 13" MBP (OS X), iPhone 5S, iPad 2, iPad Mini, 2 AppleTVs
    It will NOT play on the iMac (Windows 7) or the MacBook Pro (Windows 7) using iTunes 11.1.1
    The two machines CAN play the same .m4v file outside of iTunes (using VLC) perfectly.
    The problem is absoutely iTunes.

  • ITunes Video Playback - Sound skipping

    Hi - Just bought a new PC and have installed iTunes and brought over all my sound and video files to it via iPod hard disk function. Music is playing perfectly. All video playback is accompanied by terrible stuttering and spluttering of the audio. This is occuring at all times - even if iTunes is the only app running. DVD playback fantastic on PC as is video playback using other apps. Videos i'm trying to play are all under 5 minutes long and differ in type from video podcasts to Pixar content bought from itunes shop. New PC has brilliant spec so don't understand - any suggestions? All help much appreciated - regards!!

    I almost have the same problem with the Video Podcast the sound is bad, For the audio only it works perfectly. At first everything was in order and worked well.
    Then for no reason I got the trouble with the sound of the Video Podcast there was echoes and the quality was poor.
    Cause it’s new computer I re-installed everything, so it worked well again. Then after going on a web site that uses active X for animation I got the problem back. I have no idea if Active X QuickTime are connected but each time the pattern the same.
    Have tried to re-install iTunes the Quick Time I have changed the Audio option about filters in both nothing helped.

  • ITunes / Windows Video Playback.. (what, you actualy want to WATCH vid's?)

    I'm sure there are several people out there that are having the same or similar problems, but because I can't seem to find them with the exact problem I'm having, I thought a new thread would be appropriate....
    Upgraded from 6 to 7 yesterday... music seems to play OK (not as good as 6, but not all the issues other people are having). Now video playback in iTunes is little more than a slideshow with audio to (almost) match.
    When I go to play back any vid podcast, or other video in my library for that matter, iTunes bumps my processor up to 100% and holds it there, and the video does little more than skip and bounce through the entire playback (even if the overlay controls go away fully, the slightest mouse movement brings them back). The audio quality seems to almost follow the video, but they get away from each other (the audio was about 2 seconds ahead of the video/slide show while watching the current version of Photoshop TV). Any other video player works fine, but if I wanted to use them, I would have never installed iTunes in the first place, the idea being that the integration was the blessing.
    I USED to be able to watch a video, use Photoshop CS2, have Flash 8 open behind it, After Effects running on a seperate monitor, browse the web, and play freecell all at the same time, with several background utility style apps going all at the same time with out a hickup.
    After trying the IDE fix's, the sound setup fix's and any other fix's found in the discussions (and yes, reverting them after they failed to fix the problem), I'm still having an issue, and now I can't find iTunes 6 to try to get back to a good time in life... oh why oh why apple, why do you have just as many issues as windows? I had hoped for so much more....
    Anyone? Any Ideas? Anyone willing to email me itunes 6 so I can get back to a better time in life? Or provide answers? I've got a horriable track record with apple (over 20 business stopping questions, and to date 0 responses) so I am about 2 minutes from giving up
    Sorry apple, but this is way past frustrating... were all your win/tel beta testers using mac's?
    HomeBuilt Windows XP Pro ATI 9700 Pro / AMD Athlon 64 3800+ / hampster on treadmill running his head off...

    Are sure that's not Flash needed for those videos?

  • Iphone 5 video playback problems over quicktime?

    ive recently got a new laptop, pre windows 8, and downloaded quicktime pro in order to play my iphone videos right side up because windows media player will play them upside down alot of the time. something i immeadiately noticed was that all my videos from my iphone 5, when played back via quicktime, have a big judder/skip in them every 2 seconds whereis all my iphone 4 videos playback no problem. the few videos i have that are recorded right side up from my iphone 5, because of orientation of the phone during recording, play perfectly fine on windows media player so this this leads me to believe it is a quicktime issue. i have updated to the latest quicktime just a few days ago with hopes of it being corrected but no such luck. im curious if anyone else is having this same problem or knows a fix? also if anyone knows how to flip videos with quicktime so i can just watch them on windows media would be great also. i found a write up how to do it but everytime i try it, after i save it it just reverts back to its orgional orientation. thanks for any help, Jamie

    Add me to the list of people having this problem.
    I'm running Macbook on 10.5.8. Quicktime is 7.6.9, in case this has any bearing on things.
    OK......I just searched a few places and came up with this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perian
    It's called Perian, and it's one of a few different options you could use to solve this problem....I just installed it (free), and now the videos play without a hitch. It's a plug-in for Quicktime.  There are others that can supposedly do the same thing--look around and give it a shot.
    (Also, supposedly this Perian is no longer in open development, and may not work with the newest Quicktime update for the newest Macs, but, like I said, there are other options out there that may work for you instead.)
    I have a feeling my problem may have been due to my particular Quicktime/Macbook setup being a bit outdated, but who knows?
    Good luck!

  • Video playback in Itunes

    Recently I bought a brand new HP Pavillion. I am running Windows Vista Premium and I started having trouble with video playback. When I go to play a video the audio is heard, the video skips dramatically, then at a certain point in the video Itunes shuts down. I have contacted the itunes help by email many times and they all told me the same things. Reinstall Update ect. I did everything and I know it is not the brand new computer. Here are my Specs:
    HP DV6000z
    Amd Turion Dual Core Processor
    1024MB RAM
    Itunes 7.1.1
    Quicktime 7.1.5
    I really need help with this issue please tell me the answer!!! Thx
    HP   Other OS   Vista Home Premium

    drat. okay, for some models HP recently released a "Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update" that has been fixing SATA problems like this on PCs with certain NVidia componentry. but i checked in at the Vista downloads page for your DV6225US, and it wasn't being listed there:
    Software & Driver downloads: HP Pavilion dv6225us Notebook PC (Vista 32-bit)
    ... still they may be planning on rolling out similar updates for other models, so it might be worth clicking on the "Notify Me" button down at the bottom of that page, just in case something does come out for your dv6225us.
    (if it does, it will probably be in the "Driver - Storage" section on your page.)

  • Video Playback Fine On iPhone - Horrible On Computer

    Seen others with this issue. But think this is NOT talked about enough, therefore NOT addressed. Hopefully someone can help me ?
    Summary: Record video on iPhone, plays back great on iPhone ( A PHONE !!). Get raw footage to a computer, video plays back horribly choppy and audio out of sync (on a COMPUTER !!). Results for me are the same on ALL players on my computer. Others seem to have it play fine with VLC, but not me.
    Here's my stats:
    iPhone 4, lastest O.S., latest update.
    Computer - PowerBook (laptop) G4 17",  1.67Ghz Aluminum Last PPC Edition (Higher Res model), 2 GB Ram, ALL up to date, latest possible O.S., etc..
    Players tested with SAME horrible results - Quicktime PRO (default .mov file), VLC, iTunes, WMV, Flip For Mac. ALL latest versions for above computer at least, etc..
    I shoot some video (any length) with my iPhone 4 (which has no video camera settings, sooooo...IDK). Video plays back flawless on iPhone.
    Plug iPhone into computer, download RAW uncompressed footage to desktop via "Image Capture". From that moment on (if viewing on computer), the raw footage's movie file) video playback acts like computer can't handle its quality, (choppy, skipping lots of frames, timing horribly off, etc..). Reacts same way with ANY player I use. Actually VLC is the worse, it just completely chokes. Quicktime PRO will at least play it, just horribly choppy. ALL players are up to date.
    BUT if I burn a video DVD of it using Toast Pro, etc... then play it on convential DVD player and TV, it plays back awesome ! ALSO, if I "export for web" in Quicktime PRO and wait a amazing amount of time, I get a new file (MP4 or something), and that file will play fine on any player in my computer. BUT it is of a low quality, in which is BS that I have to go so low to view it cause I've played other videos downloaded from the net, or various places and they playback fine via QT or ANY player for that matter. Full screen, high res videos too !!
    So I ask, what is the issue ? And why has this not been extensively discussed here and why has Apple not at least publically acknowledged this issue and gave its official word ? Is there something I can do ? Why can't the iPhone have camera settings on it to allow me to lower its video quality ? Or more importantly, why can't my computer seem to handle a simple video file that is really NOT true HD (which is 1920x1080) ? Its honestly not even much above TV resolution (720 x something). My computers screen resolution is 1680 x 1050 dpi, and my video card is a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, AGP 128.
    I could be mistaken, but I am almost sure I've downloaded and viewed movies (in file format) via QT that are of a highe res, better quality even and they playback fine. So can I get some clarification on this please ? Whats going on with the iPhones video capture ? Is it out of frame rate ? Or what ?
    Thanks for anyones time --

    mcsound wrote:
    Given the specs of your computer, I would not expect smooth playback of HD video.  You definitely lack the processor power and are fairly low on the amount of RAM need to do so.
    Hi mcsound, thanks for chiming in to help.
    I don't know if I agree with this. Mathematic reasoning just don't support this. I agree consumerism does though - lol.
    Playing HD don't take much resources, as my old xBox 360 plays HD movies just fine. But the real point is, 1280 x 720 is not HD, sure its a higher res than standard TV, but not by some overwhelming amount that causes issues like this. I can play other high res videos on this computer just fine, from DVD (which actually should be more taxing on the computer), and also from file (which is literally the same).
    The xBox 360 has less processing power and less ram than my old "out of spec" computer, and it plays HD movies just fine. Point to all this is, it just aint adding up. The first inclination I agree, is to go buy a new computer. But, if you do the math, there is no reason why a 1.67Ghz processor can't play HD movies. Cause actually, it can, my computer plays them fine in iMovie, and edits HD video and renders HD video and burns HD video, and real 1920 x 1080 HD video, not this faux HD of 1280 x 720. So see how this is not adding up ?
    RAM has nothing to do with this either. Playing movies from file or disc uses almost no ram. But editing film does for sure, and at that, these 2GB of ram I got has edited, rendered and made plenty of HD movies.
    Look at the screenshots I supplied, the before and during screens of the "System Memory" (RAM) shows that while playing the faux HD iPhone clip, it used only 100mb of Ram.
    So again, no reason to think it is the specs of the computer. I agree it could be the video card, or processor MAYBE, but again, why does other HD clips/movies play on this computer smoothly, while anyone taken from the iPhone doesn't ?
    If it is the case that the iPhone is just taking a amazingly high quality of 1280 x 720 (higher than other 1280 x 720 cameras for some other reason), then why in the world would Apple not give the iPhone a camera setting to allow us to pick "capture" setting optimized for the end result application we plan on using ?
    Either way, this is not ok, and either way, its funny how it gets most people buying into the whole "consumerism" thing. Which is the last thing we need. Don't get me wrong, I buy things like crazy, and will be buying a couple new computers soon, BUT there is no need for it to play HD or several other things people think. HD is not rocket science, and again, HD is old and was supported even when my computer came out. My screen resolution exceeds the iPhones video clips resolution !
    There is some framerate controversy I think, or something that the iPhone is doing that other sources are not. But I just can't find it out, and I find it strange there is not more talk about this.

  • Skipping on playback

    I've imported about 3 minutes of video into iMovie HD and arranged the clips how I want them. There's no blank clips in between, but both audio and video are skipping on playback. I thought it was just in iMovie, but when I burned it to iDVD, it does the same thing when I playback on my DVD player. How do I smooth transitions from one clip to another? This was 3 minutes of continuous film exported from a Sony digital camcorder.

    Cathy, it's not entirely clear from your note whether the playback problem occurs ONLY at the transitions or other places too. If only at the transitions, is it one particular kind of transition? Does the problem go away when you remove the transition?
    • Can you export the iMovie project successfully to a Full Quality movie that plays as it should? If so, that may offer a solution. You could export the project to a Full Quality movie that you open and play in QuickTime Player. If it plays okay, then import that movie to a NEW iMovie project. It should continue to play fine. Then share the new project with iDVD.
    • If the Full Quality export is okay, that may suggest that your iMac doesn't have the RAM it needs to work comfortably with this project. If your iMac has just 256 MB of RAM that may be the underlying problem. Although it may satisfy iMovie's official requirements it may not work well for all projects. You may want to consider adding more RAM. 256 MB is very, very small. Everything on your iMac will probably run better with more RAM.
    • Have you added any iTunes songs to your iMovie project? Some songs can cause exactly the audio/video symptoms you describe. If you have added iTunes songs you may want to try replacing them with new copies you have burned to an Audio CD.
    For that solution to work, it's crucial you first configure your iTunes preferences to burn the Audio CD correctly, as described here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2179683&#2179683
    • Any iMovie project, regardless of length, can develop a stutter if it contains lots of audio clips. That problem is described here:

  • Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

    Hi all,
    I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
    I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
    Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Ned,
    I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now.  I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
    http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
    The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
    -it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
    -it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
    Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
    What I did in here:
    I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
    ================================================================
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.

  • Video Playback Issue due to vibration/jostling

    Hi,
    Has anyone ever experienced video playback skipping, slowing down, or stopping when the machine is moved, jostled, or experiences some minor bumps and vibration (for example: watching a movie on a bus or train)?
    I have experienced this repeatedly and at first thought it was somehow due to the loose fit of the battery however the issue continued following the removal of the battery. Could this then be attributed to, perhaps, the hard disk drive?
    This issue is occuring on a W530 with the 500GB standard HDD and the K1000M.
    Thank you in advance for your help,

    Hi Xopek1,
    You may perform an In-Place upgrade to repair the system and run Windows Experience Index again.
    In-place Upgrade
    ============
    1. Start the computer.
    2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
    3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
    a. If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
    b. If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
       b1. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK. Note Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
       b2. Click Install now.
    4. When you reach the Which type of installation to you want? screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7.
    What’s the result?
    Regards,
