Slow motion youtube


Question Posted Sunday May 17 2009, 2:36 pm

Sometimes when I am on youtube the video will load very fast, but it will play in slow motion (with slow motion sound as well). However, I could be listening to iTunes and my music will be fine (I think its just videos on the internet).

How do I fix it without restarting my computer, which works, but is very time consuming and quite annoying.

Thanks! (Oh and I have a PC and use firefox)

Hello there,

I noticed that in your feedback to the other answer, you mentioned that you have "AntiVirus 360" on your machine. Note: AV360 is, itself, a virus, so to speak. Malware would be more correct, but no less scary.

This is a very nasty bug! Without doubt, this or one of the 30-40 other bugs it installs in the background are contributing to, or entirely causing your problem.

If you aren't VERY computer savvy, I suggest letting a qualified service person tackle this one.

The usual method of infection is an "alert" that tells you there are "210 viruses on your computer!" and tells you to "Click here to remove them!"

After that, it is all down-hill from there. :-(

Please ask further questions if you have any, and good luck with that.

Based on your information of "restarting my computer, which works," I think it is possible that your problem might lies in one of the followings:

--Resource Hog: could be an extremely fragged disk, memory leak, or maybe you are running some programs that usage up too much computer resources.

Virus, spyware, and trojan horse could be the cause, too.


--If you have Windows Vista, then it might be the cause. Vista is a quite a resource hog for users with weak computers who are not familiar with Windows and don't know how to turn off unnecessary services.

--Your CPU could be over heated. Check your cooler, try to monitor your CPU's temperature. Also, when was the last time you clean up the internal parts of your computer?



NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE

PC means Personal Computer. It could be a desktop, a laptop, a tablet computer, using any kind of OS (Operating System) from Windows, MAC, Linux to all the less common ones.

Firefox isn't too helpful either. What add-ons do you have on it?

--I don't know what your OS is.

--I don't know what your computer's RAM, CPU, graphic card, and what programs it runs in the background are.

--I don't know what add-ons you have on your Firefox and what version it is.

--I don't know how clean your computer's internal parts are.

--What is the CPU usage and RAM usage when you watch a video on YouTube? CPU's temperature? CPU's cooler?

--Do you have a virus, spyware, or trojan?


Basically, "I have a problem with youtube and I have a PC and use firefox" is not much different from saying "I live on Earth, please figure out where I live" =)


Sorry, I can't be much of a help here =(
