When you say about playing back the videos are you referring to streaming them online within the website or playing them back on your computer or device after downloading them? I don't have a great deal of technical knowledge regarding these things but this is just an observation from when I had a membership at W4B a couple of months ago. I noticed that the videos here had a much higher frame rate and bit rate than most other websites I've had memberships at, the frame rate was 59 f/s and the bit rate on some hd videos as high as 13k which made for some very large file sizes. Most other sites I've had memberships at the videos usually have a frame rate of around 25 to 30 f/s. I really have no idea if the higher frame rate makes much difference but my observation was that their videos were some of the sharpest crystal clear videos I've ever seen or downloaded. I personally had no problems with the playback of their videos either online or offline but I guess it's possible someone with a slower internet connection could struggle to stream their hd videos due to the higher frame rate and bit rate.

Thanks for the reply. I am referring to videos I downloaded and am watching on my computer. When I watch they play for a couple seconds, freeze for a second and resume. I have that issue with 4K videos from all sites which I assume is due to an older computer. I have never had the issue with just HD though these videos seem to be of higher quality than many HD videos. I do not have the issue with all of their videos though.

That's probably the issue then if you're using an older computer, it's probably struggling with the higher bit rate videos. I found the bit rates varied quite widely on the 1080p videos at W4B from around 8k to 13k. I remember when 720p hd was a relatively new thing back around 2006 or 2007 my old computer used to crash every time I tried to play one.

I just checked a couple of the newest videos - their lower res being offered is 1080 on their newest videos, so perhaps it's beyond the capabilities of your computer. The other possibility is that it's the video player that you're using. I use VLC Media Player, which I find to be very stable. If you're not using that player, you may want to give it a try and see if that helps before you give up on the site or your computer. It's definitely not an issue with the site. I have never experienced any problems playing back any of their videos.
