While I will admit I haven't tried this in awhile, I always had good luck getting full-motion playback from YouTube videos by downloading them (which I believe is more difficult now than it was a few years ago) and playing back the downloaded .flv file with VLC. If you can find a way to get the source file downloaded, you may have even better luck. I used an extension called DownloadHelper, but I don't think it works outside of Firefox.
If you want to, you can try your luck with that. And keep thy Pismo alive! Isaac Smith On Jun 25, 2012, at 9:44 AM, brchrnr <[email protected]> wrote: > Just had a peasant surprise.
