Title: Watching Videos
Post by: edward on April 05, 2012, 01:06:38 pm
 Steve Good has Videos on his site about craft shows, tried to watch them on his site, and also U tube, and they are annoying, video stops every  10 seconds, and  this seems to turn me off, not only his site but others as well, not sure if there is a remedy to this  or not. This is only my opinion.  Edward

That might have something to do with you internet connection. If you have a slow connection it will do that.

It's called buffering Edward.  When your connection speed is too slow the video stalls until sufficient data is downloaded to start up again.  Often you can avoid it by starting to play the video and then hitting the pause button.  Go have a cup of coffee or do something else for several minutes (or longer) and when you start the video again it will have downloaded enough to continue playing for a long time or until finished.

Your internet connection is too slow.

I sure hope you do not have dialup.

I also find videos occasionally stop and start but it probably isn't the web site I happen to be visiting.  I have a good high speed connection so it's more likely the Internet between the site and my computer.  I don't think there is a real solution, other than doing as Billthediver says.  Getting a high speed connection, if you don't have one, should help but it will not prevent all hesitations.

Enjoy the weekend,
Jim

It could be your video card also.

No matter if you have a very fast connection it will only go as fast as the slowest server that it goes through

 Thanks for the help, I have Verizon high speed internet. What is considered normal upload and download speed, if anyone knows.  Edward

The problem I found with this video is that the audio is so poor.  Really over driven and distorted.  That's the fault of the videographer (word of the day).  It's a shame because there are some good concepts and ideas there but the poor audio makes it look really amaturish.  Steve's own videos are far superior to this guy.
