Hi all.
After many years with an old XP machine I have just recently bought a new Windows 8.1 PC with a 27 inch monitor. Much to my disappointment I find that I have video problems, such as HD videos only play a black screen until I click HD off. Another problem is stuttering on many videos.
I'd be most grateful if anyone can help me solve this problem.

How do I tell what the default video player software is?
I'm talking about playing videos in websites in my preferred browser Google Chrome. -
So the issue is with only online video ?
Stuttering can be any number of issues when considering:
1: Your internet connection ... everybody in street on cable, come 5pm speed drops due to everybody getting online
2: The number hops your connection performs to link to the targeted media
3: Concurrent "users" on the server ... the more the worse delivery speeds become.
Then consider pc ... and what processor is it ?
Make sure both flash player and browsers are current.
Default video player = adobe flash player. -
The CPU is a quad core AMD A8-7600. I'm not a gamer so that should be more than adequate for any tasks I might run.
But the issue was confined to this one machine running Windows 8.1. My old PC, a decade old, substantially less powerful, Windows XP machine, is still connected and ran the same videos without a problem.
And of course both use the same cable Internet connection. In the 14 years I've had this same cable account there have been times when things loaded fairly slowly, but I have never previously experienced stuttering during a video play.
However today the videos that wouldn't play yesterday are playing okay. So far. Fingers crossed. All I did was reinstall the Flash player.
The online videos I was testing with to compare the results on the two different PCs can be found here: http://www.whiteboardanimation.com -- the 12 short videos just down the page a bit below the fold.
Would videos like that be relying on the Flash player? Do ALL videos rely on Flash Player?
EDIT: I also installed Silverlight.Last edited by AnonyMouse901; 20th Sep 2014 at 23:20.
