Rainy Day Tech-Illiterate Question Number 12 & 35

I click on a YouTube and it's choppy. I generally let it run on mute all the way to the end, restart it and it is then smooth -- I suppose, it has cached.
Is there a way to open a YouTube an have it do this automagically?
Is there a way to open it as "Just in time" and have it figure out how much more time than realtime it will need to load, have it load for the difference, and then begin playing (thus causing it to complete just as it "catches up"
.

Typically, the choppiness of a YouTube movie on first click will pretty well correlate inversely with the power/available memory of your machine. You can try shutting down other applications, upgrading your memory, upgrading your machine... But in the meantime, your caching solution is the way to go - especially if there's something else you can work on in the meantime.

If you have clogged it with poker chips, then just send down a lottery ball and that will clear it up really well.

I find, on my few year old machine, that video is chopping if it plays while its downloading, cause the computer is also having to process all that downloading stuff. If I pause it and wait for it to finish downloading, and then play, its better. If not, try closing out of other things as well.
