Is there a way to download the videos to watch them? both machines play DVDs good.


In Safari ... IIRC:

Start playing back the video in Safari

then you can open the Window > Activity, see what link is steadily increasing, and double click that. It opens a blank window

if you then look at Window > Downloads, you'll see it being downloaded to your download location (you can now close the blank window)

When it finishes downloading, name the video.flv file ... yourname.flv (keeping .flv), and it plays back nicely in something like VLC.
(and I have a DA Dual 533 G4 under 10.5.8)

Here's VLC:

I really think some of the problem playing back video clips in a browser, is a download timing issue ... at its worst, you can see it start and stop when it reaches the limit of what has been downloaded while its playing back in the browser ... really aggravates me that Apple hasn't straightened the problem out.

It seemed to be happening in Quicktime, when I first tried ClickToFlash > Playback in Quicktime

Nevertheless ... Fire Adobe ... hire someone else to do videos.
