Whenever I try to watch a video on youtube, the video does not work, but I can hear the music...?

Question

I downloaded the flash player like they suggest, but it still isn't working

Answer 1

If you can't see it, download it.

To download videos from YouTube and any other site :
Get Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
And then install the Download Helper extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3006/ or this one Video Downloader https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390
It works great for me.

Since the videos are in the .flv format you need to get a flv player. You can get a very good one (and completely free ) here http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10505954.html?tag=tab_pub

If you want to convert them into another format ( mobile phone, iPods,psp,wmv, mp4...and anything else) use this awesome free program called Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Also you can use this site http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php and copy/paste the url's from the page with the video there but personally I'd recommend using Firefox

Firefox is the best !!!

And for movies, games, music.... and anything else use http://www.torrentportal.com/ and http://www.bittorrent.com/ and http://www.torrentspy.com/
To download from this site you need a torrent program like these :
BitComet http://www.bitcomet.com/ or
Azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

try to re download the flash player. if that doesnt not work then it probably means you have a bad internet connection

Answer 3

I have to let it go through once, then watch it again. The first time it stops and starts, but once its been buffered (I guess), I can watch it no problem. Don't know if this applies to you, but maybe it will help. Also, I am on dial up (no high speed nothing in the boonies).
