Avoiding skips and stuttering in videos

Quality issues in video recordings, like a stuttering video track, or skips in audio and video
track, can be caused by high computer workload or insufficient computer resources, by
excessive video image sizes, or by a wrong video encoder being used. Try the following
points to improve the situation.
If some of your videos happen to be jerky you can try out some things to avoid stuttering and
gaps in future:
Do not use other programs during the recording to avoid processor workload.
Consider to stop programs running in the background, such as messengers.
Decrease the size of the video image and avoid to record in full screen.
Choose a lower quality setting, or a smaller resolution. The smaller the window, the lesser
the required processor workload.
Select the conversion profile Universal, videos for iTunes, Xbox, PS3 (MP3/MP4).
This conversion profile is well suited because it converts videos quickly and with less
computer capacity using the MPEG4 H264 Superfast encoder. Therefore, this conversion
profile is best suited for video recordings.
Try to record the video on a faster PC with more working memory.
The working memory of your PC might be too low for a satisfying result. It might work on
another PC with more working memory.

(right). on page 54) and send the report.
Providing your email address along with the report allows the support team to identify your
crash report.
5. Open the support contact form at http://audials.com/contact/en and fill in the requested
information. Amongst other things:
a) Enter your Your personal Audials account username and password.
The contact form now displays your account email address. Verify that it is the same

The Crash reporter

The Crash reporter component is a small program accompanying Audials Tunebite. It detects
severe problems occuring in the product and automatically collects technical information
about the problem situation and context.
You can choose to send this information to the Audials Tunebite developers to help fixing
such issues.
Tip: Crash reports help a lot to improve the stability of the software. Sending reports is
highly recommended.
Although you can provide your email address along with a report, you will usually not be
contacted after you sent a report. This is because the developers fixing a problem have all
information they need and don't require more input from your side.
To actually get help fixing a crash, or to e.g. get feedback about when a crash will be fixed,
you need to follow steps 3 on page 52 to 6 on page 53 as described above.
