Trouble view Youtube clips.

shaz77_2

When using Firefox to view clips on Youtube, they appear very jumpy etc, is there anyway to resolve this? I have downloaded the latest version of Firefox.

I have also noticed that when I view the same clips on Internet Explorer there are fewer issues, however I use Firefox overall as its a better browser.

Thanks in advance.

Have you got a slow connection due to distance from exchange/broadband or using a P2p program or someone on your network using your bandwidth

Have a read of the links on this page:

In short option 1 suggests clearing cache / temp internet files (I'd recommend CCleaner for this).

Option 2 is to pause the video and allow the red loading bar to load completely to the end of the player. Once the video's fully loaded play the video.

It goes on to say you'll need a broadband connection with at least 500+Kbps for the best viewing experience.

Thanks I ran the speed test, it stated that my 'speed down' is 1.4 mbps and my 'speed up' is 0.4 mbps.

I have tried clearing my cache and I have also ran CCleaner to no avail.

That looks a little slow to me but should pull in you tube videos all the same

What broadband are you on

Maybe try re-installing Flash?
