Click on the link and under the video player screen there are buttons. You can download the clip by clicking on the second one. It lets me watch it later without the annoying buffering stops

Have a look in the TED website there are a few on Bees pretty similar theme but engaging speakers.....
Very easy to get sidetracked with so many other great talks...

What is buffering?

 

[Erichalfbee]

You jest?
Or are you enjoying blazing broadband speed and never encountered the stop start stop start phenomenon?

 

[beeboybee]

Must be city folk..... Us country bumpkins are lucky with 1.75mps

 

[Swarm]

Village not city. Just being a bit wicked as I remembered you mentioned it before. Speed here is around 38 but there is still buffering (when there are seven laptops online ..............Just kidding.)

 

[beeboybee]

Ha ha yep it's a ongoing frustration.... Especially as I work from home with a lot of large files.... Dropbox is a big help but if the internet buffers/stops for a second then I have to start the upload again......
Guess I have BT and this Coalition to thank.....

 

[Little John]

Agree - excellent communicator ...

If you download the video, then play it after it's downloaded - buffering becomes an irrelevance. Some of us blessed with a mighty 0.5 Gb/sec (and that's on a good day, and with a following wind) have to do this sort of thing all the time.

Streaming video my 'Arris.

Meant to say Mb/sec of course (connection to brain is also a bit slow, sometimes) ... but where's the sodding 'Edit' button when you need it in a hurry ?

Should have known

Living here makes up for it
I have been known to ask husband to pull the plug on his browsing as I was trying to read the forum on a bad day.
