The maximum resolution available is typically selected by whoever uploaded the video, and results in the largest and clearest picture.
It also requires the fastest internet connection in order to play smoothly. Select a lower resolution, and the image will typically be smaller and perhaps less clear. However, it also places less demand on the speed of your internet connection or computer, and may play back without pausing. What if you have a slow internet connection, but still want high quality? That calls for a different approach. Streaming and downloading a video are very similar. Oh, there are differences in protocols and software and whatnot, but the fundamental difference is simply this:.
The differences, while complex behind the scenes, are conceptually pretty simple. The legalities are anything but. The problem is that when you download a video, you are creating a copy of that video. Some sites offer a direct download link, which is by far the simplest approach.
Other sites most notably YouTube and almost all streaming services do not provide this ability. In my brief research for this article, I checked out a few and found many to be discontinued, not working, or loaded with PUPs.
One final note about downloading video. Subscribe to Confident Computing! Less frustration and more confidence, solutions, answers, and tips in your inbox every week. This is simply an example of a video that requires a higher data rate than you might have available. When we talk about media like video or audio, we make this specific distinction between streaming and downloading based on what happens to the data transferred: displayed or saved to disk, respectively.
Download right-click, Save-As Duration: — I do wait and let it buffer all the way but when I play the video, the video stops in the middle of it and asks if I want to atch it again. Hi Leo. My sound has been exactly as you have said above. I have a playlist saved on you tube with 18 songs. It is the same 3 any and every time I play the list. I have plenty of hard disk space for the temp file. I know how to play youtube video, but not the excerpt e.
Would you advice what code should I insert to achieve that? Thank you. My laptop is brand new and the youtube was working perfectly then suddenly I started having the stop and go. When I hit the pause, the red line stops completely so its not downloading while I wait.
Even if I wait for the entire video to download and then hit replay, it starts the same stopping and going. Could I have done something to bring this on suddenly?
This indicates that your computer needs one or both items. Defragment your hard drive. For this I suggest the free edition of Ccleaner. Org, once suggested by leo and I personally have it and run it often. Also SuperAntiSpyware. I had this problem crop up suddenly and found that it was due to a clutter of files and other junk I allowed to accumulate on my desktop. I ashcanned a bunch of videos and other files just sitting on my desktop and the problem with videos starting and stopping went away.
You might try that. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! I am very grateful. But then I would have made sure saccharine and cyclamates were harmless and not cancer-causing before putting them on the market. When running internet videos the red load line does load far ahead of the playing point.
And the video still stops, skips frames, and starts and stops. Even going back to the beginning point and rerunning the video with the red line full the video still does the stop and start thing. The sound is doing the same. I am running windows XP with Internet Explorer.
Memory space is clear. System is an Intel MHZ, ram with service pack 3. And the wireless connection is at 54Mbps. What possibly could be wrong or set to cause this video problem?
Videos do run normal in Microsoft Media player. But are jumpy in Flash. I had the same start and stop problem with watching videos online. The problem came on suddenly so I tried all the fixes on the first page, but no luck.
I finally uninstalled ITunes which I had recently installed and now everything is working fine again. ITunes installed a mess of programs that I would never even use and it made itself the main music player.
I also noticed that Itunes had a lot of task running all the time, at least 5 or more. Hope it might help someone else.
Ive been having a similar problem but Ive found that if I reboot my PC the videos play faster what could be causing this? I recently bought a canon fs20 camcorder and tried to download several videos onto my computer. When I watch the videos, they stop and start again, like they are buffering. Is this my computer, download program or something else? I am using the Imagemixer 3 program that the camcorder came with.
My problem is similar, but not the same. I get fairly rapid initial download speed of the video, and download halts and does not resume. This appears on many sites. Is it possible that after a certain number of dropped packets, the download is quitting?
In other words, I get rapid download — then download ceases and there is no rebuffering or restart. Sometimes this happens every 30 seconds and I have to reload the page sometimes after 20 minutes or 30 minutes. This is ask by millions daily so some tech resolve my issue. I see no reason to pay the server for faster internet services. I wait and it auto fills if I keep typing. Ddrt Sounds like you might have more programs running than your computer can handle which might be slowing it down.
My dsl downstream rate was and up was For some unknown reason the rates have reverted to the lower nbrs and I now have that prob. I do what you say, but its still an extremely slow process. At times I can let it spool in for ages, but when I click play I still only get a very short time, sometimes only seconds, before it stops again.
I tried Videobox but the makers of that said the site uses streaming videos and Videobox will not work. Is there anything else? I can watch Youtubes with no problems. This helps a lot. For other types of streaming.. I appreciate the link was offered in good faith though, so not a criticism, just a word of warning.
But then I hooked a Linux laptop to my home network, and wow … it was really fast. So, the problem was not the Internet connection, but rather my computer.
My solution was to buy a new computer, the fastest and biggest I could get. Video never pauses. Web pages load like they were local. I am in heaven. In recent months my computer has begun encountering a different kind of video playing problem when playing videos from the Internet. I can see the downloaded, but not played, bar well ahead of the current display point, but the screen freezes anyway.
Only if I move the mouse pointer up into the video does it free up and begin displaying properly again. In order to play a video smoothly, I have to keep the mouse up in the video and wiggle it around to keep the thing playing. I am mostly using Firefox, but I think it happens with other browsers too. Can you explain this? Better yet, tell me how to fix it? The video will continue playing smoothly as long as I keep wiggling the mouse around in the video.
My IE9 hangs all the time with videos, and I have a fast connection. But I must close the IE hog first. I had a similar problem where doing anything with my keyboard or mouse, even simple things like scrolling a window, would cause the video hesitate. Closing a few background processes solved the problem. Have any idea why this is happening? This is not really the best place to post a question, especially since the question does not appear to be related to the topic.

Sometimes a reboot will help, undoubtedly because that closes processes and programs that may have been taking up resources. One day everything was dragging on my computer—not just video. I realized that my son was using his computer wirelessly from my router. Usually he and I are not on at the same time, but this time we were.
I use a browser called Fastpeak Slimbrowser because I like the interface, with menus which allow me to do everything I want and with very easy access to translation. I just noticed that it now offers a button for direct downloading of videos on YouTube too in all the formats available.
Never thought it could be a bad router! Replaced it, and that fixed the problem. In fact, I could barely understand these solutions. What I tried: I turned my router off for a couple minutes and then back on. What a difference! Better than throwing my computer out the window which was my first inclination.
What happens to the data when the streaming is finished? Some streaming downloads the whole file, and you can watch it as it downloads. When finished, it deletes the file.
Others download the file and only keep a portion of the file in a buffer, which is also a temporary file on your computer. Log in or Sign up. You are viewing our forum as a guest.

I would have to use a DL manager and stop and continue it for it to finish. I tried IE7 and Firefox. Also, when i view youtube's video, similar thing happened, the video would not load, it stops randomly in the middle, refresh the page, still stops.
