2. Why does the video start and stop while viewing from home or slower connection to the internet?

Be sure to wait for the entire video to download before hitting the play button, this allows you to watch the clip with interruptions. QuickTime will automatically start to play the movie once enough the content has been streamed to your browser to ensure a smooth playback. If you hit the play button to early it may cause the movie to restart from the beginning.
