The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.Well, for the past few days, whenever I've tried to watch a video on YouTube, it plays but the picture moves so slowly and even slower than the audio. Whenever I pause the video, the picture doesn't stop, it carries on for a little. I've tried changing the quality from 360 to 240 and although the problem is fixed I when I change to 240, the quality becomes absolutely horrendous. I've use Mozilla Firefox and I've got Windows XP. I've also downloaded the latest Flash. I'm getting really frustrated. What can I do?

Is your graphics updated to the latest drivers? -

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.How do you drip the resolution?(Original post by ELs123)
drop the resolution?
Update drivers
Try a new browser? and make sure software for youtube is updated. (I think it is flash)
I've tried changing to Google Chrome but it keeps saying that windows does not support it. Could I change to Mozilla Firefox Beta or Opera? -

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.I get this problem occasionally and it's an internet connection issue. If I take my laptop further and further away from the router the problem gets progressively worse and worse because the video continues playing with the audio running fine but the picture freezes up for a few seconds then snaps forward. If you can play it fine at 240 (less data to download) but not at 360 I reckon that's probably the issue!

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.you might have it set to have the video play at 1080p, should be a little icon in the bottom of the video that lets you change the playback quality
Yea see if any other browser plays up. If they work fine it could be a browser issue. -

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.So what should I do? I mean, my computer is right next to the internet router and it's constantly flashing green (which means it's works fine). I'm really frustrated.(Original post by IanDangerously)

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.Hmm... I think this could be the problem. Videos on other websites have this issue too, it isn't only YouTube. How do I get my graphics updated to the latest drivers though?(Original post by Iqbal007)

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.Well, I've upgraded my computer to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (It was service pack 1 before).(Original post by Iqbal007)
I think the graphics are on board, so you've got to update the motherboard.
I've downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
But the problem is still there so I think I might reinstall Adobe Flash. I've currently got 11. -

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.Try that as well..........anything video related, uninstall then reinstall........otherwise it could be that the onboard graphics can't handle it anymore.(Original post by Kwaku_96)

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.It works, but it seems like the main issue, think it can't handle it too much....meaning it could be a software problem or your flash in general.(Original post by Kwaku_96)

If it is dying, not necessarily, just stick in a graphics card, which should have the slot available as its using onboard graphics.
But I wouldn't be too sure, as your computers seriously old, its going for £30 on ebay :/ -

Re: The videos' picture on YouTube moves slower than the audio.Well, I reinstalled Adobe Flash 11 and the problem is still there. Should I contact a technician to check out my motherboard?(Original post by Iqbal007)

EDIT: I've checked my graphics card and there's 64.0 MB left (is that good?). My graphics card is Intel (R) 82845G Graphics Controller and support for it has been discontinued (sad times).Last edited by Kwaku_96; 31-05-2012 at 13:54. -
