that happened to me before and I just refreshed it and hit pause right away. After I noticed the bar was indeed moving I hit play and it worked fine

give IE a try too and you'll know if it's a browser problem or not

you can always pause it for a little while before you start watching it so it has a chance to download. It probably thinks your connection is faster than it is for some reason.

yea that's exactly what I did and it worked fine. If you try to watch it right when you load it, chances are it'll be on buffer quite a bit.

There was a thread a few months ago where someone posted instructions on downloading the videos for viewing locally on your computer. Does anyone know where that is?
Bigbags, do you have any trouble viewing videos on YouTube? This may not be relevant at all, as YouTube's videos are limited to something like 5 minutes running time, whereas our videos run between 30 min to an hour long. This heavy buffering may be a factor. And the server where the videos are hosted may need to be upgraded. But I'm curious, nonetheless.
