What is buffering?

Internet Streaming Media FAQ
Players that read streaming media must first process a certain amount of the stream (at least one packet) in order to display anything.

HP48 Frequently Asked Questions List (FAQ): Questions about ...
The HP48 must occasionally do "garbage collection" to free up unused memory, and it is this garbage collection that is causing the momentary "freeze". "Garbage collection" is where the HP48 scans through memory, looking for objects that are no longer used. The easiest way to force a garbage collection is to run MEM DROP.

The legend on the Census Statistical Maps display garbage occasionally. What's up?

Tiger Map Server Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This is a known bug that we encountered when we moved the code to the SGI machines. I am aware of it and will fix it, hopefully in the near future. It is still available from the URL http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowser. When we added the new border graphics around the map, I couldn't figure out how to resize them on the fly while preserving the integrity of the border image. When I tried it, it became distorted.

Is it possible to display the subtitles below the video?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Subtitles can only be placed on top of the video. Placing the subtitles below the original video is possible by enlarging the video frame. This is done by adding black bars to the top and bottom of the video. These black bars will be visible when the video is not in fullscreen. They are different from black bars that are only visible during fullscreen playback. Those are not part of the video frame and thus can not be used to put the subtitles onto.

Why does the video on my home made Video-CD freeze?

Video-CD on CD-i / The New International CD-i Association
When a disc does include an application and it shows the track numbers, but it won't play the video sequence when you select it or it will 'hang up' the player after a few minutes, this is probably due to the fact that the MPEG video on the disc is not according to the Video-CD specification. It is extensively specified in the White Book how the video and audio should be encoded on a Video-CD. See similar questions...

Can I connect a secondary display to the unused video outputs?

Kaleidescape - FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
