I think youtube banned video downloading in 2007. I tried it, but

PowerPc computers are not slower. I guarantee you that if PowerPC
computers were still made today, they would beat any Intel Xeon or
i7 out there. A video that is that large can work properly on a
PowerPC computer without being slow, just as long as you have good
system specs.
here is what i recommend to watch videos without any performance
issues:
400Mhz PowerPC G4
1GB RAM
64MB or better video card
You must be refering to wmv videos or DVDs on a G4 400 MHz. I can't
acceptably play a Utube streaming video on a
PPC slower than 800 and that's on the edge. Even my G4 MDD Dual
1.25 2 GB RAM can choke on some of them. The only PPC
machine I have that will do it as well as an Intel is a PM G5 Dual
2.7. 6 GB RAM. What other magic do you have on that G4 400?
I have 3 G4 500 MHz Cubes all 1.5 Gb Ram and the Utube performance on
them is pathetic.
