I'm just trying to view come streaming video from Comedy Central
http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/samantha_bee/index.jhtml

WMP starts, buffers and then the video just freezes. The audio runs okay,
and will run to the end of the file. But video stops dead after about 5-8
seconds. It doesn't matter how many times I reload, it does the same. And
this happens on Explorer, Mozilla and Safari.

I'm using a AI-Powerbook G4, 521MB RAM on DSL. All my connection speed data
is correct. I've tried changing the buffering settings but it makes no
difference.

Help! :)

THat usually happens when the internet connection is not fast enough. I
tried the same site today and I saw the video without any problem (but
I'm on a FAST internet connection).

Nope. It wouldn't anyway since there is a bug in the app and WMP doesn't
take your prefernces in consideration for bitrates.
