This situation often occurs when YouTube Headquarters shuts down part of their system for silly reasons (such as constantly changing their "inbox" system back-and-forth or totally clearing out their blogs, only to put them back).
If you get strange new messages about software such as "enable javascript" and/or "reinstall flashplayer", forget it. Doing those crazy things won't help one bit, because your computer/YouTube was working perfectly fine before, right? (Actually, fooling around with "javascripts", "flashplayers" or installing other things may make things worse for you.)
Your type of problem often corrects itself within a few hours. But if it doesn't, then it could be a situation with your "cache". (That's why your channel page may sometimes look normal, but not a regular video page.)
Whenever YouTube seems stuck or displays things weird, I regularly empty my cache of "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". Things are often okay afterwards. If you're not quite sure how to do this, please contact me; I will lead you in "baby steps" through the whole process, and give you other tips that will make YouTube run faster.
1. Use Opera browser, it will load faster and smoother, and re-install latest flash.
get the latest flash player, and install it.. make sure all the browsers are NOT running during installation...
by the way, the javascript is turned on by default.
OR..
2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic. Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.
Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using 'zillatube' .
It works well - Just yahoo or google search "zillatube" to get it. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=zillatube&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&vc= ==========================â¥â¥â¥
In this case, you can try to download the vid before watching. I'm using Moyea flv downloader. It downloads very fast with high quality and supports full screen.
And it is FREE. It is very easy to handle.
You needn't get the url when downloading the vid. Just press "start recording" Click in the page where the vid is playing The downloader will automatically save it to your hard disk.
Then you can watch it with the embeded flv player.
You can search "flv downloader" on google.com for more info.
