I have a slow internet connection (only 256 kb/s). Facebook videos require ages to load. Most of the time I have to download and watch it.

I know Facebook mobile version (m.facebook.com) works pretty good on mobile phone, videos play without buffering. I tried to watch videos from Facebook mobile, but couldn't get any luck. The site opens, but whenever I click on a video my media player starts and says rendering failed.

It seems Facebook mobile uses rtsp protocol which PC can't handle. I tried lots of tricks like Safari user agent switcher, Firefox add-ons, VLC player streaming, Real Player, Quick Player etc. etc. but nothing proved handy. I have K-lite mega codec pack and many media players on my PC, so there's nothing more to do with codecs and player support.

Now can anybody give me a 100% working solution of this problem? Please try yourself first and then answer it. Don't tell me to convert directly to 3GP via online. I want to watch instant Facebook mobile version videos directly without buffering and downloading anything. The video size or quality doesn't matter. Thanks.

Hey uhm i dont know what to tell you... cause ended with DONT TELL ME TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING.... cause i was going to suggest use your phone 3g for your computer internet in fact it can become your handy wireless device. So after you use your phones 3g for your internet. Hopefully your internet speed will boost enough to play the Facebook videos. And please do mention which phones your using so i could have sent you the 3g device link.....
