Buffer
When you play a file or stream, Windows Media Player fills up the buffer before
it begins playing so that you will not notice minor problems with traffic on the
internet or the local network. Digital audio files used in Online Seminars are
large even though they are compressed, and may require several seconds or more
to download from the Web. The factors that affect buffering are:
-
Connection speed, usually the most important factor
-
Connection quality - power levels
-
Network congestion, generating more buffering
-
Not using MSIE 6.0 or above
-
Other applications that are competing for resources on your computer
-
Time of day (depending on your Internet provider, evening hours usually mean
less buffering)
-
Connection speed
-
Connection speed is usually the most important buffering factor
-
Modem users should consider upgrading to the fastest possible connection speed
for the best results with web-based multimedia. If you are restricted to a
slower modem, running fewer applications during a presentation and viewing
during evening hours may result in less buffering
