Videos start and stop

Hi,
When I try to watch a video on youtube, or any videos on the web, they
start and stop and it is impossible to watch the video.

Do you have any suggestions? I have the latest version of flashplayer and Java.

Thanks,
Candy

Yes the videos you are referring to are probably streaming videos, so once they begin to stream stop the video until the stream reads ahead (the amount will depend on your bandwidth), then once the streaming is well ahead you can start the video again and watch it glitch free unless the video progress starts to catch up to the streaming status at which time you just need to pause again and so forth. You could just wait until the stream is complete and enjoy your video.
Good luck.

Hi...we are trying to watch You tube videos but they keep stopping and starting. Do you have any suggestions please?

Hi,

This problem, i.e, the videos keep stopping and starting is usually due to a slow internet connection.

To resolve this issue, kindly let the video download completely before playing the video.

To do this, click the "Pause" button (shown by red arrow in the attached image) on the video bar and let the pink colored bar (shown by green arrow) fill up entirely.

When the pink bar fills up completely, click the "Play" button. Now the video playback will be smooth and without any breaks.

Hope this solves your problem. For more help and clarifications, please feel free to reply to this post.

Thanks for using FixYa.

When I select a video to watch, it starts after long time.after that it stops and again it takes time to continue.so it is not possible to enjoy live video.now what can I do.

To enjoy YT videos you need a high speed internet like broadband or DSL.

Dial up and other low speed are for other surfing task on the web.

Stop n start

You need to upgrade your internet connection. If you think your connection is good enough try to refrain from downloading large files from the internet while watching videos in YouTube.

My computer cannot play videos from youtube

Hello,

There can be various reasons for this. One of the most common is not having a fast enough internet speed. In addition, you may not have the correct streaming software installed. I'm sorry, but thei question is nearly impossible to answer without additional information. If you are able, please post a followup. We will try and help you further. A few questions to answer: Did your computer play videos from youtube previously? If so, what did you do or install (or remove) between then and now that may have made a difference. Also, if you have previously used youtube with no problems, did you switch internet connections or service providers recently? Also, can you play other videos from the web, like flash advertisements, or videos from say, MTV web site or a news web site/ You seem to be saying you just cant watch youtube videos, though you may mean all videos...

Write back with clarification, or try and troubleshoot your problem first with some of the above suggestions.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Ill explain whats happening
as you watch the videos, they are downloading and buffering

now, on you your question, why is there a whilte thing and start stop when watching videos?
the video is not downloading fast enough, this may be due to too many other programs running, or something else is downloading when your trying to watch these videos

Solution: download "Speedbit Video Accelerator"
