Anyone come across this? Certain videos pause after about every 20 seconds, and the player reports "communicating" at the top of the screen, then continues, repeating the process.

This only happens on certain files, all enoded with PVauthor. My Tom and Jerry cartoons are fine, Matrix (77mb) plays fine, but 100 Girls does it. i tried varying the bit rate, but the same Girls Aloud vid continues to do it

Help would be appreciated. If anyone wants the file (3MB) and is broadband, mail me and i will send it

I am having the exact same problem. Happens every 20 seconds or so. Some streaming video will do it and others won't. I've tried everything that has to do with my router and firewall but nothing fixes it. I've tried reinstalling the latest version of real player. No difference. I'm clueless as to what's going on, especially since this didn't use to happen. It just started a few months ago.
