Choppy Video? What do you mean choppy video? Is the video starting and stopping rather than playing continuous? If so, either you need more memory or the site you are watching the video from is slow. Also sometimes you line speed on the computer might be slow if you are watching the video online.
How does the video play if you played a DvD in your computer? If it plays the DvD without stalling, then your problem is more than like the site you are watching or the line speed as you stream the video.
I'm a video game programmer with 20 years experience in software, and have a reasonable understanding movie playback software.
I also have a Nikon (S6100) and the problem is nothing to do with PC memory or CPU speed. The Nikon creates a broken version of the MPEG-4 AVC H.264 format, which results in choppy playback. I've tried Quicktime, VLC and the cameras own player - ViewNX2 - same result for all of them.
Converting the buggy .MOV files the Nikon creates to a .avi format produces perfectly smooth (flawless) video, but with the sound out of sync. I can also create perfect quality (lower res) DVD video, but with the sound missing.
I have spoken to Nikon about all this and they are quite simply clueless and will take no responsibility. As there is no firmware up[date for this camera I'm taking the camera back, as it is basically flawed.
I've read a few sites with customers complaining about choppy video for this camera, so it looks like the model itself is flawed.
Sound like a performance problem. Did you try updating your video and sound drivers? You should also see if the Adobe Flash Player is properly installed as that is used for Youtube playback.
so if your fans are over exerting themselves, your mac is working to hard.. open your activity monitor Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor, and look at what is working so hard...Can take it from there if you post your results..
Downloaded videos can sometimes play "faster" than your Internet connection can download them, in the same way that parents can never keep enough food in the refrigerator to feed their teenagers.
Start downloading the video, and click 'pause' to let the download continue for 30 to 60 seconds, and then click 'play', to see if the video is "smoother" when the "buffered" content is being read from your local disk-drive.
If not, then the "performance" of your computer needs to be investigated.
How much RAM in your computer?
Windows 2000? XP? Vista? 7?
Is your anti-virus software working correctly?
Have you recently done a "full" virus-scan -- computer-viruses can cause your computer to slow down.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer, and then reboot.
Does the reboot go faster with _NO_ Internet connection?
There is much you need to do, if you have not done it.
1st: Hit CTRL/ALT/Delete and then the start up tab. How many items are checked? if more than 5, like printer for example, that can cause this issue. Everything you see checked is running and your computer cannot play the game and run all of them. While there, click on the performance tab. if the CPU is above 40%, thats an issue as well.
Have you defragged your computer this month? If not, do so. Go to start>accessories>system tools> defragment. Run it while you sleep or am not using the computer.
Do you have at least 15% of free space on your hard drive?
