Why are the videos stuttering?

We know stuttering is annoying, and there are many possible reasons why you may be experiencing poor video playback. The video player does require a better than average internet connection and computer processor, so if you have a slow connection or older computer, you may experience issues. If not, here are a few things you can try:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of Flash running on your computer.

  2. Please turn off any other programs, virus protection, ad block, or energy saving settings as they may interfere with video playback.

  3. Try closing other browser taps if you have many opened.

  4. Try another browser and see if that helps.

Do I need a fast computer for HD?

We’ve found that most computers made in the last three or four years (running either Mac OS X or Windows) are fast enough to play HD. In some cases, you may realize a major performance gain by quitting unused programs and closing extra browser windows. Our player is designed to degrade the video quality gracefully if it detects that it’s dropping frames.

Do I need a fast internet connection for HD videos?

Most residential cable and DSL connections should be more than adequate. If HD feels slow to load, try turning off any background downloads or peer-to-peer sharing applications. Or push the play button in the player and then pause to let the video buffer before viewing.

Why don’t I have sound?

Check if the volume setting for your sound devices is disabled (muted) or set too low.
