I consulted with my accounting department and determined that I was able to risk the $1.99 to download the 1st episode of Lost season 2.
No trouble downloading-- about 210 MB, took maybe 10 minutes (the bottleneck was on the Apple end since I was able to surf at seemingly normal speeds concurrently).
Burned the file to a CD via Toast, and put it on my laptop hard drive.
Sound is smooth but video hitches continually no matter what I try-- 3 seconds of action, freeze for 5 seconds, repeat. Tried a tiny tiny window even-- same deal.
It's an iBook G3/900 w/ 256 of RAM, OS 10.3.9, playing in iTunes 6.02.
Anything obvious here about what could be causing the problem?
Thx . . .
