i was playing with one of my eMac 1.25ghz machines the other day with morphos 2.7 and found that with mplayer it really couldn't play youtubes well. I did manage to play them though ONLY if I downloaded the mp4 file first - but... it was pretty out of sync and lots of missing frames. I also converted the same video to mpeg2 and it worked fine, but an annoying step.

I then tried OSX and was surprised on the same machine, it played youtube videos almost flawlessly.

I am wondering if I don't have the best version of mplayer - mplayer is supposed to play youtube direct, but the one i have doesn't, any suggestions or tips in how to make a 1.25ghz emac running morphos play videos (local) and via youtube as good or better than osx?

thanks
