    Hi Jane

    I couldn’t solve the problem despite helpful suggestions from your community, so I was given access to the original videos as a collaborator on the author’s site.

    I have since deleted the troublesome videos from my Dropbox.  

    ‘Thanks to all who offered help. I am most grateful.

Did you download them to the device and open them in a media player app on the iPad, or are you just streaming them through Dropbox from the original source?

Hello Rich

thank you for responding. 

I an streaming from original source. 

If there is an app I can get to try, that would be great. 

Although I have worked with computers all my working life (I’m now a pensioner!) Dropbox has me beaten!

Thanks again!
