[kk.]

probably the RAM.
have you tried pausing and letting it load first?

Off topic, whats ur youtube account

[PaulMacC]

1GB Ram is more than enough for XP.
It's the processor that involves HD though Im wondering if you update your processor or something. + yes I have.

Mine never lags

[kk.]

your video, the COD4 one is lagging for me also

[PaulMacC]

The LEFT4DEAD one is lagging :(

[PaulMacC]

Someone help?
I can view some videos without lag sometimes but the others just lag.

[J0SH]

It's only normal it's because it has the load the HD just give it time to fully load then watch it :P

[kk.]

i said that to him but he wont listen :'(

[PaulMacC]

I've already done it.
Some people are telling me it is my processor but I think dual core 2.80Ghz is enough to run it.

[J0SH]

It should be able to run it, if not, don't watch them in HD ;)

[PaulMacC]

It's either HD or normal quality which looks like crap.
Josh go to Control Panel and then System and then post what Ghz your processor is.
Tell me if it is Dual or Quad core.

[PaulMacC]

You have a gaming pc though, right?

[J0SH]

Yeah but it's only like £600 lol :P

[PaulMacC]

Scott is helping me pick out a good pc.
Just going to buy a new one.

Dont really watch YT vids tho, just music.

[PaulMacC]

Can you watch them in HD.
Has anyone found a way for me to increase my CPU performance. I dont want to overclock it. My uncles laptop can run HD :(

[Jord]

Your PC Might be fine It could be your screen not being able to handle so much detail

[PaulMacC]

Nothing to do with the screen.

[Agnostic Bear]

It's lagging cause flash is a pile of steaming **** and shouldn't be used for HD content. Ever. They need to get silverlight up there, that'd fix it right up.

[awelsh]

Mines the same, every 5seconds or so it jumps slightly :S

[Stephen!]

No problems here..

Buying a new pc just to watch HD youtube videos?

[PaulMacC]

Nah generally need an upgrade.
Rendering videos is horribly long.

[Recursion]

Its YouTube's end it does it for some videos but not others.

[ToxicPaddy]

Lags a lot for me too

Mac OS X Tiger
Version 10.4.11
Processor: 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

^^ Don't understand half of that!

[TETRIS.exe]

it's mainly the problem with the computer if it crashes alot *cough* mine *cough* so HD might lag. Try waiting for it to fully lod like someone else here has made then view it. Try speeding up the computer by deleting a few things. Clear your cache as well. If that doesnt work, try loading the video (in HD, of course :P) on another computer the same OS. if that lags, its the problem with the OS. if it doesnt, its a problem with the computer.

(MY GUESS, DONT -REP IF YOU THINK IM WRONG.)

TETRIS.exe, victim of spam rep ¬_¬

Toxic: Get leopard xD
*****: Listen to *****! Some youtube videos take HELL LONG (especially if you were on MY laptop!)

[PaulMacC]

I can watch some videos properly in HD but others I cant.

[J0SH]

That's YouTubes fault not your computer.

[PaulMacC]

My brothers PC can run it fine and it's worse than mine,.

[J0SH]

I dunno how there's any logic there, if your computer is better than his and it lags for you.. It's probably your browser/YouTube :S

[PaulMacC]

My fan is really loud, Im taking that my CPU has messed/ broken. Im getting a new PC monday anyway :P

[DjSnorkle]

Not Me :D

[PaulMacC]

Dont worry, getting a new computer tomorrow anyway.

[Jord]

It still might not be able to play stuff in HD

[irJen]

I saw this yesterday, it had buffered but still stopped every so often :s

[PaulMacC]

The new pc I got has a worse processor but can play it in HD.
Old pc's processor must have busted.
