Enough so that vs enough for

How would you say this please?

1 The video doesn't start until enough of the video is load so that it doesn't stop playing halfway through.
2 The video doesn't start until enough content is load so that it doesn't stop playing halfway through.
3 The video doesn't start until enough of the video is load for it not to stop playing halfway through.
4 The video doesn't start until enough content is load for it not to stop playing halfway through.

Thank you

Do you know when you watch a video on you tube,

it doesn't start playing right away as not enough of the video has loaded in order to start.

Now do you understand my sentences and can you tell me if the bold sentence above is correct grammatically or how you'd say the bold bit.

Thank you

I get it.

The on-line video will not start playing immediately because the player software is designed to pre-load the file and fill its data buffer first. This ensures that the video will play smoothly and continuously to the end, even if the network connection is slow, intermittent or erratic.

Even the last bit is grammatical?

...video has loaded in order to start

Someone told me that IN ODER was optional in every sentence:

It doesn't start playing right away as not enough of the video has loaded to start.

It doesn't start playing right away as not

alc24The original sentences the 5 sentences at the top, which would you say, which of them are grammatical?
None of them. They all have the incorrect verb form "is load."
A sentence being grammatically correct does not mean that it is well written.

alc24Could you tell me which are correct now? just grammatically.
There are no grammatical errors in any of your sentences.
alc24Now that you know what I'm saying, could you say it this way?
I could, but I wouldn't. I posted the way I would say it earlier (see above). I have not changed my mind.
