    Hey guys,
    I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.

    Help Would be awesome
    Thanks!

  28. pinolobu says:

    i prefer keepvid and javimoya because:
    – it would be very rare for both sites to go down: if one is down, i can still use the other one
    – less hassle in installing plugsins etc
    – copyying and pasting URLs are so quick, i dont even notice it

  29. Yatz says:

    hmm..any FLV players up for grabs.??
    coz my pc restrained me to install the player available for download in keepvid.com..

  30. SoGua says:

    lucia: just register an account at youtube.com, and you can start to upload your movie

  31. lucia says:

    what about how to upload movie (my own) to yourtube? then to post it up for people to view?

  32. SoGua says:

    i prefer this extension than keepvid.com and javimoya.com
    where you do not need to copy and paste url to other site.

    Furthermore, if keepvid and javimoya down,
    you cant download anything 🙂

  33. Jerry says:

    Great one! I used to download youtube movie from one website. This is really useful than that.

  34. ShaolinTiger says:

    So complicated meh, just use Keepvid.com
