Nowadays, the Internet is a part of everyday life. All the information you need is easy to find on websites and forums. Video format data is no exception. And with the advent of high-speed and unlimited Internet, it is no longer necessary to download movies to your computer, you just need to start the show directly from your browser. However, before watching video on-line, you need to configure your computer.
Necessary
- - Internet connection with a speed of 512 kb / s;
- - distributions of Adobe Flash Player, DirectX, K-Lite Codec Pack;
- - browser alternative to Internet Explorer.
Instructions
Step 1
Check your internet connection speed. To view low quality video without delays, 512 kb / s will be enough. A good quality image with a stable picture can be obtained already at a speed of 4 Mbps. If your connection speed is lower than the two above, then there are sites that offer a solution to this problem as well. For example, 46 kbps is enough to watch videos on YouTube.
Step 2
Update your operating system and graphics card driver. If your computer is running Windows, then DirectX should also be updated. This will speed up the exchange of data between the hardware and software components of your computer.
Step 3
Use a browser other than the standard Windows set. Internet Explorer 6.0 is a very naughty browser and is disliked by many web developers. Therefore, most video sites simply do not support it. And updating it to a newer version will still not eliminate all problems. Therefore, when watching videos on the Internet, use alternative browsers such as Google Chrome, Opera, or Mozilla Firefox.
Step 4
Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer. If you have not found such a program on your PC, then download it from adobe.com/products/flashplayer/.
Step 5
Install the latest video codecs. The best solution is the K-Lite Codec Pack.
Step 6
Register on social networks and specialized sites. Social networks like Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki have a lot of video material. You can also watch videos online on services provided by search engines (Google Video, Yandex. Video, etc.). In addition to the above options, there is a RuTube video hosting on the Runet, which also contains a huge collection of cartoons and video clips.
