Adjustments in computer settings to improve loading of YouTube videos

My question may be completely misguided. If so, it stems from my slender knowledge of the entire process. I have a friend who cannot adequately open the YouTube links I send her. I'm wondering why, and I'm also wondering if she might improve things by some simple changes in her computer settings. I believe that YouTube videos are "streamed" and that some ccmputer/Internet capabilities are inadequate for the task of viewing long, streaming videos. That's fine, but what about "loading"? One is constantly confronted by this term while downloading something from the Internet. My question is, once something is downloaded into a computer, shouldn't it be ready for viewing? In other words, if a five-minute video takes one-hour to download, does the one-hour downloading period make a difference? Isn't the fact that it has been downloaded the only important thing? Further, what, if anything, can the computer owner do to improve/make possible the video viewing experience?

Very simple:
1. Apple owns these forums and can dictate any rules they wish to do so. Among them is that we are not allowed to talk about illegal processes.
2. Youtube owns their site and can dictate any rules they wish. See their ToU (in particular para. 4):
https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
Anyway, they do not own these videos, and it seems strange that they would be pointing their finger at others for copying their illegal possessions.
Read their ToU (para. 6) - when someone uploads the video, they retain their ownership, but do extend to Youtube certain rights. They do not have "illegal possession".
What I don't understand is why it's bad to download them but okay to forward the links to them.
You still are not understanding the difference between the actual act of downloading content (= transferring content from the website onto your computer) vs. forwarding a link to someone to look at the content on Youtube's website. Looking at the video on the website is NOT downloading it.
First, I'd like to say that YouTube is a world treasure. They have made the world a better place to live.
Fortunately, we live in a country where everyone can express their opinion. I certainly do not share yours; in fact, I very rarely visit that website.
There is no need to further discuss the laws, their terms, or the ToU here - you or I may not agree with them, but we all did agree to follow them when we established an account here and/or on YouTube's site. This is my last comment here before the hosts decide to send this entire thread into ether space.

  • Loading two youtube videos

    Recently I'm completely stuck on something again.. was
    wondering if you could help =)
    It seems like a simple problem. I'm trying to load different
    youtube videos at runtime as external swfs. But only the first one
    loads, others just don't get displayed.
    So I have a swfloader and two buttons to switch source.
    public function loadSWF (filename : String) : void {
    swfLoader.source=filename;
    < mx:SWFLoader id="swfLoader" source="
    http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=A72jSPEtOJI"><
    /mx:SWFLoader>
    < mx:Button x="688" y="505" label="1st" click="loadSWF('
    http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=A72jSPEtOJI')"/>
    < mx:Button x="761" y="505" label="2nd" click="loadSWF('
    http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=InY3SLWORj8')"/>
    It works fine with other swf files that don't involve youtube
    videos... any ideas... very much appreciated!

    I can well imagine that they are.
    I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
    if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

  • Firefox crashes when I load any youtube video on the latest version, it not only crashes firefox but my whole computer goes blank and I have to restart, why is this?

    Backstory: There are two possible events that could be causing this
    1: At some point I may have followed a ''Tinyurl' link that consquently lead me to a youtube video, to which youtube worked perfectly fine before hand, and this is where i witnessed the first crash. Theories into whether this link, previously stated, may have done something to my system have been thought about, but the fact that youtube still works on the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer seems to present the idea of a virus or an error redundant. I own the latest Macfee antivirus software and Ccleaner(running the registry check) and have run them complete with disc defragment and scan disc error recovery along with an additional malware scanner. Nothing seems to have come up on anything. After doing all this, my last resort was System restore and this seemed to solve the problem, mainly because i had an earlier version of firefox. therefore i resisted updating for aslong as possible whenever it told me to update. but the otherday i thought i'd risk it again thinking it may have been a problem alot of people have been having and it would of been fixed, but sadly it hasn't. this lead me to google the problem and was advised to start firefox on 'safe mode' as there may have been a confliction between add ons or plugins with youtube or some thing like that, but sadly that hasn't worked either. The plugins i had installed with it were the ones firefox has told me to get, or recommended and the only two addons i had on firefox was Adblock plus (fanboy subscrip) and Noscript.
    Details of what actually happens: go to a youtube link, video loads for about 2 seconds(both video and audio), screen freezes, and flashes maybe once with some small lines across the bottom half of the screen horizontally towards the right corner, then the screen goes blank and makes my laptop dorment, but still running, thus I restart my system.
    Sadly now when I system restore there isn't a point far back enough before this problem. So its either i downgrade(which seems to be the only option) or simply stop using firefox, as internet explorer works perfectly fine. however running firefox with no scrip and adblock plus is the ideal browser customisation, which is why this is rather annoying.
    so number 1 was the tinyurl theory and i must admit i was abit foolish to follow such a random link, but whats happened has happened.
    2: basically there is a major disfunction with the latest firefox that has to with the addons i have included onto firefox and this seems to be causing a terrible effect on my system.
    in a nutshell: firefox worked perfectly before upgrading to the new firefox and before i followed this link, the rest of my system is completely normal and virus and error free or so it says, Other browsers seem to work also. safe mode does not cure the problem.
    Running on a customised Dell laptop, which is pretty midrange-toprange and hasn't been active long, so it has the general HD video card thats included in all Studio 15 Dell laptops.
    any help appreciated.
    cheers.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Taking a long time to load a YouTube video and then it will not play

    Trying to watch youtube videos and connection from news source. It has been taking along time to load and then will not play... Do I have a setting off any ideas? This has not been the case until recently

  • Safari Cannot Load Complete YouTube Videos

    Hello everyone,
    A couple days back, I've been facing the problem with playing back any YouTube videos properly in Safari. All the videos just stop loading a few seconds before the end, and their playback is therefore interrupted prematurely. Now I'd like to note that I already tried to fix the issue using various methods:
    uninstalling the current version of Flash player and installing the latest version provided by Adobe
    clearing Safari's cache
    disabling hardware acceleration in Flash
    disabling HTML5 mode in YouTube
    None of these actions had any effect; the problem persists relentlessly.
    It's quite frustrating: I'm quite new to OS X, as I bought my iMac only a month ago. Through the whole time, however; I really can't say I would ever notice Safari getting YouTube right. The problems with YouTube video playback have been there all the time; the one described above is the only existing one currently, the others having disappeared with the previous version of YouTube's website.
    Any help to be wholeheartedly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Quit Safari ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Relaunch Safari. Try YouTube.

  • Firefox does not load certain Youtube videos?

    I am running the 08/05/2012 build of Nightly and I am unable to load Youtube videos with ads, e.g. VeVo videos. I have tried disabling all add-ons and that did not resolve the issue.
    Videos work fine on Chrome and IE. How should I approach this?

    i've just seen that a problem with flash & the current nightly version was mentioned in another support question too. so probably you cannot fix it on your end & will have to waint until an update fixes it again. nightly versions are not intended for daily use and may be unstable.

  • StageWebView suddenly can't load embed YouTube video

    Once we developed app for Mobile Device with Adobe Air, we need embed the Youtube video to the app. For easiest way, we use StageWebView of AIR, so we can directly load Youtube Embed video like a frame.
    It used to be working. But from today, it suddenly not working. the video just show the blank screen or "An error occurred while performing this operation." message.
    I think Youtube may change some setting of its video pages. The youtube homepage or search page are still working in StageWebView.

    I saw this last week - I have never used StageWebView before for displaying video but decided to give it a go. 
    Just kept getting a black screen in the simulator when trying to run a video from YouTube - I assumed there was some kind of issue running it with YouTube so I looked for another way to do what I wanted. 
    Have you raised a bug report?

  • Load and control youTube video

    I would like to load a youtube video in a flash movie.
    I have absolutely no idea how to do this.
    I have the URL of the movie and I have the target movieChild.
    All I want to do is to load and play the video frm within the
    fash movie I have created.
    Can anyone help me. I am using FlashMX. and I haven't used it
    for a while (and I am no computer expert.)

    When you create the PeaBee embedding code...note the "edat"
    variable.
    Put that as a _root variable in your FLA. For example:
    _root.edat="FA18987ECB...
    Then, load the swf from
    http://player.peabee.com/ (the
    address is
    automatically translated to a SWF).
    You should now have a fully functional player inside your own
    code.

  • Macbook is slow to load webpages and youtube videos are stopping

    I just recently purchased a Macbook pro, however, its been slow to load webpages, youtube videos, etc.  The youtube videos frequently stop playing and I have to reload the page.  Its not the connection and I havent had the computer long enough to have to clear safari chache.  WHY

    Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the same issue, though it's not a poor router problem (upgraded that hoping it would fix it).
    I tried the OpenDNS and it helped once, then stopped loading Netflix (Netflix, Youtube, and Facebook seem to be common problems, as well as "new" webpages that I don't go to often). If I connect directly to my Ethernet the internet works great. My iPhone connected to WiFi works great. It's just my Macbook pro and it just recently happened when I moved to my new house (I had the same ISP at an apartment and had 0 issues). Any thoughts?

  • Brush Lag? - Here are OpenGL settings that improve performance

    For anyone having horrible Brush lag, please try the following settings and report your findings in this thread.
    After much configuring and comparing CS4 vs CS3, I found that these settings do improve CS4's brush lag significantly. CS3 is still faster, but these settings made CS4 brush strokes a lot more responsive.
    Please try these settings and share your experiences.
    NOTE: these do not improve clone tool performance, the best way to improve clone performance right now seems to be to turn off the clone tools overlay feature.
    Perhaps Adam or Chris from Adobe could explain what is happening here. The most significant option that improved performance appears to be the "Use for Image Display - OFF". I have no idea what this feature does or does not do but it does seem to be the biggest performance hit. The next most influential setting seems to be "3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF"
    Set the following settings in Photoshop CS4 Preferences:
    OpenGL - ON
    Vsync - OFF
    3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF
    Force Bilinear Interpolation - OFF
    Advanced Drawing - ON
    Use for Image Display - OFF

    Hi guys,
    As I am having very little problems with my system I though I should post my specs and settings for comparison reasons.
    System - Asus p5Q deluxe,
    Intel quad 9650 3ghz,
    16gb pc6400 800Mhz ram,
    loads of drives ( system drive on 10K 74gb Raptor, Vista partition on fast 500gb drive, Ps scratch on an another fast 500gb drive, the rest are storage/bk-ups ),
    Gainward 8800GTS 640mb GPU,
    30ins monitor @2560x1600 and a 24ins 1920x1200,
    Wacom tablet.
    PS CS4 x64bit
    Vista x64
    All latest drivers
    No Antivirus. Index and superfetch is ON, Defender is ON
    No internet connection except for updates
    No faffing around with vista processes
    Wacom Virtual HID and Wacom Mouse Monitor are disabled
    nVidia GPU set to default settings
    On this system I am able to produce massive images, the last major size was 150x600cm@200ppi and the brushes are smooth until they increased to around 700+ pixels then there is a slight lag of around 1 second if I draw fast, if I take it slow then there's no lag. All UI is snappy.
    I have the following settings in Photoshop CS4 Preferences:

    I hope this helps in some way too...

  • I want to loan my ipad to my husband for the summer. If I back it up, restore to factory settings and then load it is if it is his will i be able to get all my apps back?

    I want to loan my ipad to my husband for the summer. If I back up my ipad, reset my ipad to its factory settings and then load it on his imac will I be able to get my apps back later?

    You can backup your iPad to your computer then after that restore it to its factory default. Your husband will be able to use it like a brand new iPad and when he is done then you can plug it back into your computer and restore it to your backup. Everything should be there for you.
