Audio and Video Glitches

  1. Default Audio and Video Glitches

    Hi,
    I deployed a flash video on a bunch of sites about a year ago and it worked
    fine.

    A few weeks ago, all of a sudden on all the sites (different hosts, servers
    etc) the audio has started glitching out and occasionally the video, too. I can
    only assume this was caused by an update to flash, though I can't be certain.
    It's a really simple flash video player that loads and external .swf file and
    plays it. I have no idea what to do at this point.

    You can watch the video at: http://mma4millions.com/video.php
    (The website hasn't officially launched yet so there are other problems as
    well, but just pay attention to the video)

    It plays fine on the flash player that comes with the flash app, but not once
    loaded to a server through a browser.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    How long is the loaded SWF video?

    I played it for about a minute, and didn't experience any glitches, but I know
    that audio/video glitches happen frequently with very long SWF's (especially if
    they are large file sizes). This has something to do with the limited
    buffering abilities for loading SWFs. I typically recommend changing this to
    an FLV that progressively downloads.

    It's quite long. Can't remember the exact length, though. The weird thing is
    that it worked fine for a year and now isn't.

    It must be buffering problems. Every couple seconds the audio sounds like it
    skips forward a fraction of a second a couple times in succession. I'll try
    converting to FLV.

    If you hear anything further on this I'd be very interested. Ever since version
    9 the sound on some files sounds like it speeds up or slows down for a fraction
    of a second. I have tried updating drivers to no avail. I try to revert back to
    version 8 but the presentations do not work now because they say you need the
    latest version of flash. Is there a way to turn that version check off?
    Thanks
