Another computer problem... choppy video
Anyone got any idea why my 'puter will not play many of the videos linked here and elsewhere smoothly?
Some run just fine, but I'd say at least 50% of the YouTube and ALL of the Vimeo vids are unwatch-able due to herky jerky video. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I pause it and let it buffer. Could my trusty old Mac Powerbook G4 be getting long in the tooth? What would be the pertinent specs one would check for vid performance?

Problem: MAC. na you just have an old computer, and alot of newer videos are run in hi def, and you computer is just to slow to keep up. if it was a pc desktop you could buy a different video card and run the new drivers, but its a mac, and a laptop, making it almost impossible to dig into and impossible to put after market video cards and RAM into. if you want something that you can continuously modify, buy a pc. if you're a die hard mac fan, its time to upgrade. at least that is the most likely cause. vimeo runs there videos on hi def, and if yous is not a fairly new computer, your cpu and video card will not be able to keep up, hence the choppyness.
