I must confess, I very seldom watch the videos posted here- or any site- because I am impatient and really hate watching the "buffering" symbol , go round and round, every few second. Although my connection is a "broadband" link, it still doesn't play very well with many of the video hosting sites-  UNTIL NOW!

Here is a link to something called "YouTube Feather Beta". You have to have/create a YouTube presence to use it and you have the option of having it enabled/disabled when watching a YouTube video. It works for me on Chrome (latest update) and Firefox 13.x. 

I'll be watching more of your videos!

I don't get the stoppage or the buffering. Maybe it's the Verizon Fios?

Hey!

That sounds pretty good!

Does that mean you will be able to watch a video without all of the STOPPING to fill buffer, etc. ...  one nice smooth Watch for a change?

Thank you for the Tip!

That's probably the case, John. Fiber is very fast. My connection is a hybrid RF and DSL but even some low end pure DSL isn't fast enough to keep the "buffer" full.

I have the second slowest broadband that Roadrunner cable offers, and usually have no problems with buffering.

The slowest speed they offered was to slow for Hulu etc.(buffer overruns) but the second slowest seems to work fine.
