you tube drag

- One question - how do I keep the films from stopping and just playing straight through? It's a drag to have to keep starting from where it stops every few seconds. I just want to watch it smoothly the first time.
-It's a very big Flash file, and if you're on dial-up, it probably takes forever to load... so if you're playing it at the same time, it's gonna be choppy. What you can do is pause the player 'til the whole file loads (it could be about a 20 minute wait, though). does that work? it keeps loading? yes it does (grey bar continues to extend...) good. I was letting it play, then re'wind'ing and then again, and only watching it after doing that several times.

-That's sad, because I have to do that and I have highspeed!
-Oh, I had to do it too, and I have cable internet. I think it took about 3-4 minutes to load on my computer. It must take FOREVER on dial-up.
Now: what is the situation when it informs me that the video I clicked on is "not available"? says may take a while if I just uploaded it - but someone uploaded it, eg, a month ago. ? has it been removed for copyright reasons and inconveniently still shows in 'related videos'? but I'd think that they'd say 'Removed.'
