Other devices in your network: other computers or devices sharing the Internet connection

Buffering

The NCH Flash Player downloads a video while it plays. A buffer is a section of memory in your computer which allows for the simultaneous writing and reading of information, in this case the video. On the NCH Flash Player, the buffering is represented by the red section of the video timeline that can appear to load progressively. The Flash Player reads video information from one section of the buffer while writing to another. This kind of multitasking allows for smoother playback of video during a continuous process of downloading, which Is especially helpful for slower connections.
