Revolving circle on videos!
Does anyone else have them. Once the film gets loaded it is start and stop - start and stop and a 2 minite video will take as long as five minutes to complete. Once done I can restart and run the whole thing through without a hitch. But, this sure takes the fun out of videos!!!!

Any way I can correct this problem?

2. Your play speed is faster than your download speed.
When it stops, the download is trying to catch up.

Hit pause and let the whole thing download, then watch it.

:hi:

4. Your Internet isn't fast enough to play it in real time.
Pause the video at the beginning long enough to fill the buffer about half way and then play it.

I have the same problem.

5. It's a Youtube player/server bug, I've noticed it too, about 10% of the time
Sometimes going directly to Youtube helps.

6. You might need a faster computer...
and/or a faster internet connection.
When the video starts, hit pause and let it "buffer" some more.
That "loads" more of the video into the memory of your computer.
After a while, you will learn how much you need to let each video buffer before resuming play.
