Hello

I've been wondering for some time about how to get video's to play better.
Most all of the video's I run across need to be buffered for several minutes before I can run them without the video stopping and starting again.

Some video's seem to be worse than others and I don't understand why except maybe because of the quality of which it was recorded originally.

I'm trying to understand why this is and if there is anything I can do as far as my computer settings to speed up the process of buffering these video's or changing a setting so that I can just click and watch.

Thanks for any info you might have!!

    Umm..

    I'm not 100% sure, but it could be either your computer or slow internet connection.

      Yes, and I hate that. Recently, I've started distributing my videos via Cloudfront and found a big difference in the loading and buffering. I have a large video (over 800 px wide) on a site and it loads way faster than it plays, so there's never any delay. Quite happy with Cloudfront - thank you Amazon.
