To elaborate a bit... DVD-Video is low-compression MPEG-2. Easy
to play, even on a very slow machine. Streamed video is highly
compressed Flash or MPEG-4 H.264. Very CPU intensive to decompress
and decode -- and that's before the GPU involvement (if any).
Now, to get back to the OP's problem... There is something going on
BEYOND bus and processor speed and all that total guesswork hand-
waving. On my 300 MHz Smurf, I can view YouTube video *smoothly*
with &fmt=5 added to the urls. If my *G3* Smurf can do that, then
his *G4* Cube can certainly do it. But he says not. So there is
something else happening. (waiting for specific answers to the
questioned I posted on 1/3).

I may not be correctly adding the "&fmt=5" to the url. can you
explain how to do that. when I start the YouTube I add the code to
the end of the url but I get no change on the Cube or my TiBooks.
