Try downloading the movie to your computer and watching it locally. Sometimes choppiness occurs when we can't stream it to you quickly enough (because your connection is slow or our servers are overloaded). If you're watching an MPEG-4 that we derived from an original MPEG-2, we first reduce its size to 320 x 240 - a quarter of the resolution of NTSC video. We then translate it at 350 kbps, which is really borderline for that resolution.

If your FPS count drops below 10, your video playback will be noticeably choppy. It takes a lot of processing power to play video on a personal computer. There are some factors might be the causes to slow video playback:

The most likely explanation is that you have rendered the movie at a higher resolution than your computer can play back with the QuickTime compressor (codec) with which the movie was rendered. Keep in mind that full-motion video at broadcast resolution can not be played back by most computers unless it was rendered with a QuickTime compressor designed for computer play back. Please see the "QuickTime Addendum" chapter of the documentation which discusses these issues in detail.

If a video doesn't play continuously it may be due to your connection speed. Please note that a broadband connection with 500+ Kbps is required for continuous playback. It is also possible that your video download speed is slow or inconsistent. In this case, you can try pausing the video until the entire stream is downloaded, then play the video.

Oxygen.com is a high-bandwidth site, and requires at least a DSL connection (120k) to fully enjoy all of our features. Trying to view video clips from a dialup connection (or anything less than 120k) will cause the clips to appear choppy.

This has to do with the way the video is loading, not the quality of the video. In order for us to minimize space on our site, all videos have to load in order for you to preview them. Depending on your Internet speed, load times may vary. You can see the loading progress on the video itself in the form of a moving gray line. Take a moment to read the information about the clip to the right in the meantime, and once the video has loaded properly, it will play smoothly.

This is the result of insufficient buffering. One solution is to this problem is to let the video completely finish streaming to the computer and then play it. You may also need to get the latest version of direct X from Microsoft. Go to the Download Section to have it right now!

Check /var/logs/messages for "no free buffers" and try loading with [root@host]# insmod ivtv.o debug=1 to cut down on the amount of traffic to the hard disk which will reduce delays. The driver currently allocates about 1 second worth of buffering. Also try playing the stream on a different computer or operating system.
