I can't watch online videos without them constantly stopping and buffering

I cannot watch online videos or movies from a website or with a player. The videos and/or movies continually stop and start again and are constantly buffering. I have tried emptying the cache. I can maneuver all over the web without delays so I don't think it's my internet. Our internet is wireless and we have a satellite system.

Hi and welcome...
Your Mac came with Flash, QuickTime, and Java pre-installed.
It depends on which format the videos are that you are trying to view. Often Flip4Mac is required.
You can access Flip4Mac settings in System Preferences (in your Applications folder) once the software is installed.
If Flip4Mac doesn't help, post a link to the site where you can't stream video.

C2-00: Can't watch online videos

Why i cant watch online videos in c2-00
Moderator's note: We have amended the title of this post as this was moved from another thread.

Hi rafiqs38,
Welcome to Nokia Forum!
May we ask, have you checked your phone if you have the right internet settings that you need for streaming? You can check this by going to Menu > Settings > Configuration > Default Configuration Settings > Select your operator's connection. If you don't have it yet, your can ask your network operator to send it to you directly.

How can I play online videos without many long pauses during play?

I have current flash and 7. Lately, all online videos have many long pauses throughout play. They used to play continuously through. Flash is enabled.
How can I solve this?

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video

Mac can't watch online videos

Any time I try to watch a video on any website (youtube, netflix, etc.) it won't load. It is just a black rectangle. I tried refreshing multiple times but nothing happens. Everything was working fine earlier today and now videos won't work.

Are you blocking anything (possibly adds, using Little Snitch or Hands Off)?
Have you tried simply rebooting?

How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?

How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?
I have Snow Leopard on two computers and IOS5 on IPad 2. Videos will not run without stopping. I am talking about videos like on Yahoo and YouTube etc.

Slow Internet download speeds are typically responsbile, if you have 5 Mb/s or slower it's really bad. 10 Mb/s or higher is preferred and 20 Mb/s or better is ideal.
If you use a alternate DNS service like GoolgeDND or OpenDNS which has to fetch Akami hosted content from overseas instead of using your much closer ISP servers.
If your router is the old G model, upgrade to N.
If your wifi is open, you could have leechers. The more on the network, even a fast one, the slower it gets.
Secure your network info here etc.,

Watching online video's and snow leopard

i use to watch online videos like smallville and son's of anarchy. but ever since i installed the new snow leopard. i cant watch any tv show online (ie- fx, cw channels). i can still watch youtube. i searched the first 38 forum pages to see if anyone else is having this same problem.

I seem to have the same issue that Viking is having. This issue is really frustating the **** out of me. I've got two identical iMac's that had the hard drives wiped clean. Installed a fresh copy of SL, did all the Apple updates so I'm at SL 10.6.1. Installed Flip4Mac 2.3.0.14, Perian 1.1.4, QT7 and I still can't get any streaming video/audio (ASX, ASF, WMV, etc) to play through either Safari or Firefox. All it does is show a blank window where the video should be or the asx page just sits there loading.
I've read through hundreds of posts about this issue and can't find a solution, everything just says to install flip4mac and it should work. I've downloaded WMV, MPG, AVI files to the desktop and they play just fine in VLC player. All the QT trailers on Apple's site play just fine in the browser as well. Flash sites like youtube work just fine too. These are not Realmedia sites. I've tried it with only Flip4Mac installed without anything else and have the same problem. No firewalls are on either. All the Flip plugins seem to be installed correctly in the Safari plugins list.
Can anyone please give me some suggestions to try? I'm a recent Mac convert from the PC and can't believe that it would be this difficult to get something working that always worked on the PC.
Thx

Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

Unfortunatelly, something’s not working fine on Flexplayer during the last cupple of months. A lot of updates have been released lately and the problems persist. Since iOS 6 was on the air, the problems became even worst. It’s a shame, but I think it’s time to change the app we are using. The alternative I found is 8Player, it works fine, similar to Flexplayer (but nicer interfase), and the best is that it supports “.flv” (not sure Flexplayer did). You can save your files to your hard disc using iTunes and then transfer them again to your idevice, once you’ve installed 8Player. I hope this helps. Bye bye Flexplayer!!

Watching online video on a new Intel-MacBook

I am unable to watch online videos on my new MacBook. The windows media player alarm comes up telling me I don't have the right plug-in. I believe that is the Quicktime component add-on. This still doesn't work. How can watch online video (like cnn.com for example) on my Intel MacBook?

The intel flip4mac beta is no longer available so you can't use it.
Therefore install windows media player from http://www.mactopica.com
You could then force safari to open under rosetta and the windows media plugin should work.

How can I burn a dvd without themes?

how can I burn a dvd without themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Trouble: Can't watch any video from youtube

Hai, I've already installed the latest version of flash player. But why i can't watch any video on youtube? I've deleted all flash player browsing data and remove file player cache but it still won't work. Please somebody help me. Can't watch video in youtube is like a hell. Thank you.
*oh yeah, my OS is windows 7

Thanks, that was very helpful. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Flash Player is even being loaded. If it was a case of Flash Player just displaying a black screen without video, you would have seen a Flash Player context menu.
Can you try the same URL with another browser to see if the player loads there?
