speed up video streaming

It is usually a boring thing that is when you trying to watch a video online from a website like youtube, streaming video services it all says "buffering". This is usually seen over slow internet connections rather than on faster wi -fi connections.

Fix:

Most on line video files are designed and links to stream, from video streaming server and allow you to start playing before the download gets completed. For Streaming video with web and keep

video playing smoothly video players often download slices of that file called " Buffering" or "caching" and usually this takes time.

We can apply an extra boost on streaming videos by the following method:

In windows media player,select Tools >> Options, click Performance tab, and select "Buffer [5] seconds of content" under "Network buffering". To play the videos instantly as the buffer downloaded
enter a small number, such as 2 or 3. (this will also depend upon the internet connections and no. visitor that caching that video content simultaneously, so adjust the number between 3 and 15 seconds if you see any bad responses from the player).

Speed Up Flash Videos in Firefox

on August 24, 2009 in Hacks

Want to speed up your flash video watching?  By default, Firefox takes a sort of “snapshot” of whatever you are doing every ten seconds.  Why?  It is so that the browser can restore itself, just in case of a crash.  Now you might ask, what does this have to do with flash videos?  Well, the snapshot action is what is causing your ten second delay, at times, with watching flash videos on the Web.

So what is the solution?  Time to visit our good friend, the about:config…

The quick fix for this problem, at least for my own sake, is to increase the time between each of the saves performed by session restore. By opening about:config in your Firefox address bar, then typing browser.sessionstore.interval in the filter box, you’ll see a value of 10000, which is in milliseconds. (Meaning your session is saved every 10 seconds.) I changed this to 300000, or every 5 minutes, as I don’t have the urgent need for tab restoration. If you feel like being more on the safe side, try increasing it to something a bit lower, say 120000, or every 2 minutes.

I gave it a shot, and it might not be a life changing experiance after doing so, but it does seem to make the videos play faster, especially if you have several Firefox tabs or windows open at the same time.
