Hello,

I have a problem with flash player 9 playing any video made by camtasia studio. Before upgrading to 9 every was playing just fine, now every time I play a video the voice can be heard with interruptions, and on some points as if its moving fast forward. I have this issue with Opera 9.26 IE7 Firefox 2.0.12 on Vista, and also Firefox 2.0.12 on Linux.

Any help, ideas,please?

Thank you,

    Is it possible that other programs (besides Camtasia) running in the background could be hogging resources and causing the audio interruptions?

    Last I heard the computer systems on the space shuttle were ancient 386 machines, simply because they're so stable and don't have any such interruptions to goof up data sampling.

    why don't you go back to your older version, and wait for something new

    You may need to just upgrade by downloading a newer version. The only problem is whatever I downloaded isn't working. I have a client of mine who needs help, but I am not the most experienced with Flash 9. I will await a response to this problem

    Not sure how reinstalling would help a bug in the software...

    Overnet2000, is the version you downloaded 9.0.124.0 ? Try installing the current version and see how it works with Camtasia, maybe a solution has finally been found.

    Flash player version 9.0.124.0 does not address the Camtasia/audio problem. The audio problem persists.

    This is due to a bug in Flash Player 9.0.115.0, released on 12/3/07.

    Techsmith, the company that produces Camtasia, reported the problem to Adobe a few months ago, but Adobe has not released an update for it. Adobe suggested downgrading to an older version of Flash Player, but older versions of Flash Player have security vulnerabilities that could result in your computer being attacked. Incidentally, Player 9.0.115.0 is classified as a "critical update" by Adobe.

    Techsmith has released a patcher to fix affected Camtasia videos, but the fix must be applied to the files on the server (all of the Camtasia files) and can't be used by viewers. The problem with Player 9.0.115.0 affects more than just Camtasia videos, of course.

    Until a newer version of Flash Player is released, you probably just need to live with it unless you're willing to risk the security holes in older Player versions. We're coming up on three months since Player 9.0.115.0 was released. Given the long delay in fixing the problem, and since Techsmith claims that Adobe has made fixing the problem a high priority, it's possible Adobe's engineers can't find a fix. Only time will tell.

    For more information, search this forum for "Flash Player & Camtasia Studio", "Player 9.0.115.0 MP3 issues", and "flash player audio chirps and video delays". For confirmation of the security flaws, search the web for "apsb07-20".
