amacus Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Ok, im downloading a video. I try to preview that video. For 10 minutes it says buffering. Then finally it goes. After about 5 seconds it starts to buffer for 2 minutes. goes back to playing. then buffers again 3 seconds later. This loops many many many times. Help?

Dark_Shroud Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Don't try to preview. That option takes a lot of time and work to put together a viewable video from the little pieces of data you've downloaded. If the download doesn't include a sample or preview file then you're going to have to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realutd7 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 yes personally i've tried many things to get a good preview but as dark shroud said, you pretty much cant do anything about it unless the download includes a preview/sample file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Although some users like this feature, I perfer not to preview incomplete files. I get my video files from relyable sources so no need to preview, and what do you have to lose really, since the files are free.
