Video playback issue on my MacBook Air.

Hi Guys.

I'm hoping someone can help me I have tried apple communities but no one seems to be able to help.

I have a MacBook Air & I struggle with video playback its very jerky regardless of if its a video on the MacBook or a stream ie: YouTube.

I can play video back fine using VLC but I can't use VLC to play anything online.

Any ideas please I have some coaching things I need to watch online but its unwatchable on my MacBook.

Thank you in advance guys.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

What does a local video look like from your drive? Is is OK.

  • If it is then you need to focus on your WiFI and/or internet service which might have issues.
  • If is choppy too then you need to focus on your system. How full is your drive if more than 3/4 full clean stuff off and test again.
