automaticly after 5-7 seconds everytime.

I can watch DVD's without any problem.

Watching DVDs and watching streamed videos is something completely different. You could try different settings in your video codec preferences panel or reinstalling the video codecs altogether.

 

EDIT: Did you install Flip4Mac?

hi hecker thanks for the reply

 

i dont know how to play with the video codec preferences

but the strange thing is that actually it works/ lets say that i am playing a movie in youtube

well it loads and starts to play. after 5-6 seconds it pauses and i have to press again every 5 seconds in order to

let it play.

 

where i can see the preferences for the video codec?

i have an ati xt2600 pcie

 

thanks

the video codecs used on youtube are installed with the flash update. typically for what you are describing the cache is set to low. So 5 seconds worth of video stream into the buffer and the buffer fills. it then has to be emptied and that is where you get the jump. you can allow for more storage in the settings by just right clicking on any flash object and clicking settings

 

OR your internet connection is slow. there are some bandwidth checkers around the web. hit it up

get flash from the adobe site, it fixed this exact issue for me on my laptop
