How to get crystal clear quality videos on youtube and etc?
Just about everytime I get ready to watch a video on youtube, the video is choppy and skips, but if I watch a video on another website and watch it on windows media player(or wmv. format) its very clear. . How do I get that to stop? I have the Flash Player 10
If YouTube is slow, stuck or weird, and people suggest that
you either change or install stuff….DON’T TOUCH A THING.
Please don’t mess with java scripts, firewall settings, flash
players, anti-virus utilities, activeX controls, popup blockers
or different browsers.
None of those things will help you, because your computer
and YouTube were working perfectly fine at one point, right?
The first rule of thumb and best option should ALWAYS be:
don’t disable, erase, uninstall, switch, download, alter, add,
change or install anything. That’ll only make matters worse.
Several times each day, YouTube shuts down some of their
servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck
or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer
are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time.
That’s why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios:
small bits and pieces of text / thumbnails in strange places;
the famous spinning circle going on seemingly forever; slow
loading/buffering; or nothing more than a blank screen. This
problem may fix itself within a few hours, or by the next day.
If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange,
it’s very possible that your directories of “temporary internet
files” and RAM (often times called “cache”) are brimming to
the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result
being that YouTube videos A) start/stop/start/stop, B) grind
to a halt, or C) never even make it onto your screen.
“Temporary internet files” are tiny bits of webpages that get
permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever
on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in
a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them — or “clear your
cache” of “temporary internet files”, “cookies” and “history”.
If you’re not sure how to clear your “cache”, or if you would
like more “tips” on making YouTube run even better without
having to buy or install anything, please click on my avatar
and send send me a message — ideally with your YouTube
channel or email address. I’ll guide you step-by-step, using
plain English and with full explanations.
Note 1: if you have Google Web Accelerator (or something
similar to it), dump it, burn it, trash it, disable it, uninstall it;
– do all that you can to get as far away from it as possible,
even though this contradicts all my advice. Not only does it
conflict with YouTube, simply clicking on “Don’t Accelerate
This Website” will not help you whatsoever.
Note 2: longer videos only require “Flash” and “Shockwave”
in order to play smooth. You don’t need anything else.
Note 3: a peculiar fix that once worked for me was altering
the URL “www . youtube . com” to simply “youtube . com”,
(or you can even try “ca . youtube . com”).
Note 4: nothing about playing YouTube has changed in the
past year. If anything, the newer Flash players are causing
many YouTubers plenty of grief — especially all 5 variations
of version 10. Why in the world is there 10.0.525, 10.1.218,
10.2.26, 10.2.54 and 10.12.36? Upgrades are usually good
for only one thing: software/computer conflicts. I have never
strayed from 9.47, and many flashers swear by 9.45. Think
of those two as you would Windows XP compared to Vista.
