Weird problem with videos

Post by Clyde Mattocks »

My computer will play everyone's videos except this one person's. There is this lady who always comes out and videos our band. When I try to play them on Facebook, they jerk, stop and will freeze up my computer to where I have to shut it down to get out of it. My band mates tell me they play fine on theirs.

And here's the weird part: If my band mates repost the same video from this lady then they will play fine on my computer. What is up with this?

Is this on YouTube, Facebook or some other site?
Post a link to the problem video (and a good one) so we can try it ourselves and see what happens.

Thanks Brad. It is on Facebook and there is no link as such, only a share option to others on Facebook.
Could I share it to you thru Facebook?

You could certainly post it here, or share it through Facebook.

Is your problem occuring on OSX, Windows, Linux, or does it matter?
