And if all you're seeing is "shaky cam clips", then you're looking at the wrong stuff. That doesn't fit my YouTube experience, either.

Stuttering on YouTube is not normal. I'd blame your ISP for that. But one thing you can do to even it out is to press pause just after you start, and let it buffer for a while before resuming play. (You can even buffer the whole thing if necessary.)

The video quality is variable, and many clips are very well worth watching.
If it's my ISP why is it that I can stream very well from other sites? I tried buffering, it doesn't help.
Even if they have clips that are worth watching, what I have seen are grainy, crud lighting, and usually shaky cam clips.
Some of my friends have put video on YT, and trying to watch them has been a lesson in frustration and embarrasment.

I'm sure there's some good stuff there; I encounter links to YouTube on useful sites that I visit--seems like a dead-simple way to "distribute" how-to and other video content, but since I'd need a computer to really find my way there for such a purpose, being able to watch tons of videos of questionable worth on my TV doesn't really thrill me. (However, you can't be too rich, too thin, or have too many features... well, unless you "bloat-up"--good luck, TiVo... hope you don't break anything else while adding this.)

(More importantly, 8-track's were OK; they just stopped development because something cheaper came along that was easier to work with and improve. Ahhh, the good ole days!)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20169945 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:06:54 EDT Don't like YouTube http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20169875 gaforces : 90% of the time I try and watch a video on YT it starts, stutters, freezes and then goes through the same loop. The video quality sucks, and most of the shaky cam video's aren't worth watching.
