While viewing Youtube videos the video stops briefly every one or two minutes and then starts. Why this is happening and what to do to get around the situation? Can anybody help?

d reason it stops briefly is bcos the buffered VDO stream has been played and the remainin portion hasnt been buffered fast enuf

Solution
Click on the play button -> Count to 4 -> Click on th pause button -> Wait till you see a red bar progressing from the left to right (ur VDO is being buffered) -> When you see that the red bar has gone to the extreme right resume play

Now ur VDO will never ever stop in middle while playing

Youtube uses video streaming
So, The video is first streamed onto ur computer and then played...
You must wait, till the video is completely loaded, that is, wait till the bar beomes completely red, and then play for un-interrupted iewing...

Dear ilugd,

I am using BSNL broadband connection which promises 256 kbps to 1 mbps.


Sincerely yours,
