Shockwave or Flash streaming video? Do you have Perian installed? <http://www.perian.org> What is your broadband speed? low end, 1.5mb/second and even some 5 mb/sec connections have issues with streaming flash, especially HD which is increasingly used. Also check your flash plugin...you might get better results with the latest beta, if it works with 10.4. You can manually download (or use plugins like Cosmopod in Safari) to download the .flv video files to your computer. With Perian installed the video should be playable with QT. If it plays ok locally, the issue is the web browser plugin and network connectivity. (and the networking issue could be between you and the originating website, ie: not be under your or your ISP's control.) Some HD video will still not run very well on older Macs, but a dual 1.42 and that Radeon card should handle it just fine. I have 1.5 mb/sec connectivity at home, so I routinely use Cosmopod to download the video and play it locally. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
