Computer lag/pauses on viewing certain videos.....

Lyme Lyte started this discussion · 6/1/2011

Can anyone tell me why certain videos "pause" all the time? I just posted my second one and it is doing that. I get frustrated when this happens......I just had my computer "cleaned" so I don't think it is my computer. And I was told it wasn't my camera either. Maybe I need to upload it during the night when there is a better connection? Although my computer seems to always have a good connections. What are the "computer" peoples thoughts? Thanks!

Most likely it's your internet connnection. Nothing to do with the video you uploaded or when you uploaded. If your video plays well on your computer, it should play well in your web browser. If it constently skips frames when playing in your web browser, might be because your graphics card is too slow to handle that.

I like how you put "cleaned" in quotes because thats how it usually should be. I have oh so many stories about "cleaned" computers that really weren't. Its probably unrelated, your whole internet browsing would probably lag if you had bad stuff making you lag. Always exceptions though. If you share your internet connection with other people in the house, they could be downloading/watching something thats slowing you down.
