Q: How do I deal with the overwhelming number of video players available?

I can't believe I am having trouble with internet video playing slow and "jittery". I have researched this topic here before but, with no remedy that works. It happens with all websites including Apple and YouTube. There are so many players and converters that I just install them all! There must be conflicts going on between them but, I have never read procedures on how to set up our computers for best playback. I just re-installed Tiger on my original Mac min (PPC). I think the problem is worse now. Hard to tell as I have been using a MacBook Pro (2.53GHz) before having to go back to this, my beloved mini. I truly appreciate your help.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

    This may seem a little late, but I have used your suggestion more than once in the years since your reply. In some way, I'm thinking your suggestion here has taken on the status of : CLASSIC. Likewise, being so ridiculously & shamefully late is classic me.  The thankfulness I feel (for your great support) runs deep. At age 62, I am STILL reminded of the personal growth I still need in so many areas of my life. No wonder my wife was often heard saying how she had more trouble with her husband then with our 2 teenage boys! And in case it makes you feel any better know that i too, get quite angry & frustrated at being a 'mess-up' with seemingly years of little improvement. My apologies to all!  ~mc 4/9/16
