Why do videos start & stop?

I am using Mac OS X and have DSL at 256K. No one else is using my connection.


When I play videos I hit pause button to allow the video to completely load and then hit play. The video will stop and go stop %26amp; go. Sometimes the sound stops %26amp; goes along with the video and sometimes the sound has no interruption while the video is very broken. I have tried various sites and have same results.


What is wrong and how can I fix it?





Thanks in advance.

You probably don't have enough RAM so your computer back writes to free space on your hard drive. It takes longer to retrieve what has been cached on a hard drive so the movie stops until the cached data can catch up to it. Solution is to add more RAM
Reply:Its caching/buffering on a slow connection. Mine does the same thing during peak times.
Reply:DSL and only 256K speed? Your internet connection is too slow to keep up with the data, that's why the video's pause.
