Run some traceroutes to the destination, to make sure there isn't a problem between you.

This is not happening when using the G4 MDD, G5 Dual 2.7 or MacBook Pro on the same network.

Which still does not preclude a network issue ON THAT MAC. So again, run some traceroutes.

Ok.  Run Activity Monitor and watch the paging and i/o rates.

I have no idea what this is. If I have to be on iChat to check this it's hard to get anyone to stay up long enough.:-)

Launch Activity Monitor.

View the System Memory pane. Observe the page in/out numbers. If they change a lot while you're doing video then you have a paging problem.

View the Disk Activity pane. Observe the data written/sec. If it's high while you're doing video then you're caching to disk like crazy.

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.

Take the YouTube url, add "&fmt=5" and refresh the browser page.

eg:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMltvlqEM54>

vs

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMltvlqEM54&fmt=5>

Again - try Yahoo! Messenger's video. I suggest this because if it works ok then the problem is not your basic network connectivity etc.

I don't know how to use Yahoo that's why I have iChat and Skype It's for the layamn.

Have you bothered to try?   There are Help Files available.  It's quite simple.
