When you're enjoying movies on websites such as Watch-Movies.net, Movies-on-Demand.TV and other sites, does it frustrate you when the movie buffers or starts and stops every few seconds? Following is the solution I've found to stop video buffering while I'm enjoying a good movie.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Allow the movie to load completely or at least halfway to stop video buffering.

  2. Step 2
     

    Start the movie and then hit stop until the movie has fully or halfway loaded. As the movie is loading, you should see a yellow or gray line. The line you see will get longer as it loads.

  3. Step 3

    Close all windows that you don't need. Having too many windows open will slow the loading process down.

  4. Step 4

    Resume play once the movie is at least halfway loaded or fully loaded. By this time you should be able to enjoy the movie without the video buffering or constant starting and stopping.

Tips & Warnings
  • You'll have better results if you go do something else and return once the movie has fully loaded.
  • Some players will load slower than others, and some players just plain stink.
