• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

All of a sudden, every YouTube video I've watched -- both while the red bar is loading and even when it's completed -- lags every 2-3 seconds where there's a stop in the video. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

What machine are you watching videos on?
Flash videos are quite CPU intensive... if it's an older Mac, it might just be lacking in horsepower.

Try installing the latest version of flash though... they just released version 10 if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe you should cut down on the porn. Porn is chuck full of spyware and can lag your computer especially w/ video streaming sites like youtube.
