By yurning off the hardware accelerator in flash videos, the software accelerator provides a lower video shutter therefore fixing the buffering issues. Doing so improves the slow hardware, but hinders the quality of the original video.

However, in case someone doesn't have a lower performance video card, they can just simply right click on the video and click on the turn off hardware acceleration option from the drop down list.
