Default help watching videos

This should probably be somewhere else, but I'm having an add night, so here it is. I love watching videos on the internet, but I can't. Everytime I click on one, my computer buffers it all the way up to 100%, but doesn't play the movie right. It stops, like when a dvd skips. Somebody told me that if I let it play all the way through, then replay, it'll work. Well, it won't. Somebody told me that if I right click and "save as" it to my computer, it'll play better. But, it won't. Help!?
