Buffering a video stream allows you to watch online videos with minimal choppiness or freezing. According to Tech Terms, a computer buffers a video by loading some of the video file data before playing it, giving the player computer some reserve memory to fall back on if the Internet connection is interrupted and the stream of video is therefore interrupted. (See References 1) The keys to successful buffering, therefore, lie in the speed of the Internet connection, the amount of RAM being used by the player computer, the amount of available memory on the computer, and the efficacy of the video player. If you address all of these issues and still have buffering problems, there are a few other options worth attempting to fix the problem. Writer Bio
