"where its always Miller Time"
So here's the scoop: Apparently Microsoft Media Player has a bug (surprise, surprise). In some cases, if you download a video, it begins playing after only a short video portion (~5 seconds) is downloaded as a buffer. For some reason, the video may stop playing before the video is actually complete (perhaps it outruns its buffer?). I know when one of my videos has been truncated because I created them, but for the rest of you, it may be less apparent. If a video ends abruptly (without video or audio fading out) then you are probably experiencing this problem. Here's what you need to do to fix it.
Open Windows Media Player, then select Tools-Options then select the "Performance Tab" and change the networking buffer to 60 seconds. That should take care of it.
If by chance you still have problems, you may want to simply download the video to your hard drive and then play it back.
