• 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.

i have firefox and safari

firefox seams to run videos in quicktime and flip4mac straight away but safari has to load the whole video before it can play it. both can play them pretty good tho.

HOWEVER!

videos on websites like youtube or dailymotion go at like 1FPS!!! its like a slideshow!!

they used to run perfectly on both programs, but now they dont:(

can anyone tell me why and how to fix the problem?!

many thanks!!

Is your internet speed up to par. Check it.

Let the video fully load and then hit replay to see if then plays properly.

Have you upgraded to the latest QuickTime, Safari 3, Leopard. Just before Christmas I saw some noise about poor video playback, but I don't recall if there was a diffinate culprit and fix.
