Why do the clips sometimes stop?
To watch a clip at a particular speed, you must maintain a constant data
transfer rate. This means that net congestion, packet loss, or an
overpopulated Internet Service Provider may interfere with the transmission
of the clip. If a constant data rate cannot be maintained, the clip may
pause to buffer a portion of the clip. The clip will play again when the
buffering is complete.
Can I watch a high speed clip if I have a
lower speed modem?
Yes, but the clip will not be very enjoyable. The frame rate will suffer
dramatically and the clip may pause and buffer several times.
