If this note belongs elsewhere, please forward it or redirect me. I've been frustrated by the quality of the videos I access from the Finewoodworking.com online newsletter ovefr the past several weeks or longer. I had hoped to attach a couple of screen captures to better describe what I'm seeing (or not seeing), but that option doesn't seem to be available. Nearly every video I try to view here starts off normal, then as it proceeds, the picture becomes more and more "blurred" (not out of focus, but more like those thermal photos that show areas of hot and cold). It will "catch up" at times, then (just as I'm about to see something I'm really interested in seeing) it blurs again for several seconds or a minute. It seems to be a speed related problem, but my laptop is new, my wireless connection is fast, and most of all, I NEVER see this problem with videos from any other woodworking site. I might see pauses and re-starts on other sites, but I'd rather have that than not be able to see 50-75% of the video at all. Oh yes, everything is updated and properly setup including Adobe Flash. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm beginning to doubt the value of by online subscription because of this problem. Thank you.
