You can stop the video from playing while it's still downloading. Wait

move the pointer to the beginning so it will start playing there.)

I think I advised Evelyn to do exactly this a while ago when she was
having problems with some other video, to pause the video as soon as the
page loads and allow it to buffer (the line reach the end) etc. Maybe
she doens't get my posts...

Hmm, I don't know. Could be she just didn't notice that one.

My problem with the tiger cub site was different from what Evelyn and
I were discussing, though. I never got to the downloading stage - it
kind of stalled for a few seconds, and then poof, my browser was gone.
It didn't even give me that weird message that says, "I'm sorry, Firefox
needs to exit now. Please click 'OK' to quit the application." LOL.

And then I have problems with some sites where the sound comes through
at a normal speed, but the video part is more like a jerky slide show.
For some reason, Marina's videos always run that way on my computer.
I think it's my computer's fault, though, since nobody else has that
problem!

What happens when you try? Does it just sit there and do nothing?

Mostly it just keeps spinning that little circle of gray dots until I
give up. When it DOES begin to download a video, I get maybe one second
of sound and action, followed by ten seconds of frozen screen (while it
downloads the next segment), then a repeat of the same, until I lose
interest. (Someone once sent me a link to watch a version of the
ballet, "Swan Lake", as danced by cats, but after trying to make sense
of music and dance measured out in such minute segments, I gave up in
disgust.)

You can stop the video from playing while it's still downloading. Wait

I'm not sure how to do that! (Instructions, please?)
