Firstly, I love linux and cant imagine myself returning to windows for
daily use. However, one thing which has baffled me since I downloaded
ubuntu 10.04 is the crash of videos everywhere e.g. bbc, bbc iplayer,
eurosports, TED etc. The videos play for couple of minutes (if I am
lucky) and then it starts buffering, and it never proceeds. And i have
to reload the page.
This happened on ubuntu 10.04, ubuntu 10.10 and now gentoo. I am not the
first one to experience this problem. The following is the link
summarising similar experience.

By the way, videos work great on windows XP. Some say that its because
of flash. However, I dont understand that when I had 9.04, it worked ok.
I really would like to solve this problem or at least know the root cause of
this. Surely, its not a bug?
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
