Videos will start along with sound but the video will stop although sound continues.If I move my pointer over the video it will jump to where the progress bar indicates where the video is at it's current playback time.How can I fix this problem?

Let me revise this question.Same problem with YouTube vids on Facebook/YouTube ect as stated above with the problem being video hangups.If I wave my mouse pointer over the video in progress the video proceeds but will stop if I don't wave the pointer over the vid.The vid will load and I can hear audio playback but the image will just stop while the audio is still playing.
