Please don't use Tor for this.  Use a proxy or VPN.  Streaming
high-quality video uses way too much bandwidth, and it doesn't seem like
you actually need the anonymity that Tor provides.

Same here, John. I don't use Tor for watching cats playing piano or music vids, either. I use TBB for research (sometimes including vids) for quite serious matters, like health & legal, that we don't want others logging our activity.

If Tor becomes strictly limited to "serious journalists, activists or whistle blowers - in fear of their life or freedom," there probably won't be a large enough crowd on the network to make it safe / anonymous.
