Eh, the author clearly has no idea bout videos. Talking about streaming anddownload speeds is next to nonsense as at most it can cause video stalling, not flicker. Flickering most commonly occurs when an old movie has been digitised with a wrong framerate - e.g., a 30fps movie has been encoded in the 23.97 NTFS standard. This may cause video flickering - you need to delick (deflicker) the video.

Most people I hear from use flicker to mean stuttering or stalling. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hi Leo, Can you pls tell how much download usage does watching online video incurs, ie, half-hour video?
Regards

No. It varies widely, depending on the size, quality and encoding used on the video.

its helpful but still confused when the website does not ask for the quality of the videos to be downloaded and still buffers when streaming on free video websites.

If you're running XP, you can bring up the Windows Task Manager which, among other things, puts an icon in the system tray to show the current CPU usage. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the task manager, and then minimize the window. The system tray will have a little green crosshatch icon. As the CPU usage goes up, a light-green rectange will "grow" from the bottom of that icon. At 100% usage, the icon will be entirely filled.

If, while playing the video, the CPU usage goes to 100% (all green), then that's your answer -- not enough horsepower on the system. (And, if the CPU usage isn't near zero prior to starting the video, there may be other background tasks running that may not need to be.)
