    Hi there awhitley58,

    If I understand correctly you are trying to play a movie that you downloaded but it stops plays back inconsistently. I would suggest first booting to safe mode to clear some system level caches and perform a disk verification and repair if necessary:

    Try safe mode if your Mac doesn‘t finish starting up

    If that does not make it play correctly, and no other videos that you've downloaded in the past are affected I would suggest deleting the file and downloading it again. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
