Can somebody tell me why, for no apparent reason, my U Tube videos are stopping every three seconds, most annoying, I can think of nothing that has been altered ? Thanks, James.

Jim,
If you are on a dial-up connection, press pause until the video is fully loaded, then play it.

Sometimes my broadband connection slows down enough to cause the same buffering problem

Hi Richard, Happy New Year mate. I'm on Broadband. I've just noticed that it's not on every video. I think I'll restore my yesterday's settings and see if that does the trick. Speak soon, Jim

i had a similar problem, it was with just a couple of videos and i couldn't figure it out

here is what worked for me, the video was stored in my Temp Internet Files

so i went into Options and erased all "Temp Internet Files"

now when i view those files i couldn't get to work before, now it starts all over with the downloadeing and everything is fine (for now)

Here's a tip.....Since you can't save Youtube videos, what I do is add them to my favorites so they are always there and easy to access.

Actually you can... go here:

paste in your youtube URL and save.

change the file name extension to .flv

Now I'm on a Mac so I use iQuint:

to convert the .flv file to mp4

I use something called 'V Downloader'.
It converts the video to MPEG or AVI, so I don't need the FLV player.
I found it free on the net.

Mike-Thanks for the tip. I saved the one that Drew Howard took of me, under "Save Favorites" and it workd. I checked my favorites, it was there, and cliked on it and it played without needing to wait or download. Isn't this Forum great? Thanks again...al.

Well I went for the easiest option and deleted all my internet temporary files and that so far seems to be doing the job!Thanks Pat, nice one! James
