Propably they are coded with
newer coder or if it is
similar to Windows Media
Player
bandwith is to narrow. Useing
WMP I have seen many times
eactly this sound is but no
video. This not means bandwith
to your ISP but all track to
server adn server load ( if
server
is not multicast). If possible
download movie clip to your
computer and try locally.

Quicktime Player runs
smoothly, otherwise.

As there is now Quicktime 6.0
propably site actually refers
to some other site and link is
now broken.
But _my_ Tucows _mirror_
carries QT 5.0.2 so you can
try download it from there
