> > Hi everyone, it's Ray again, thank you David,Glen,Chris and Mac for all the great info you took the time to send me. Glen, the W32codecs are installed.Chris, I am using your suggested settings.David, I installed the Meta package and Mac, I checked the Ubuntu forum and I have the right packages.I have java-common 0.30ubuntu3 and flash player installed. Here is the situation; I am using a new Dell Vostro computer with Vista installed and I installed Ubuntu 8.1 along side it (to get used to linux). In Ubuntu I get Google videos OK but the screen intensity lowers and all freezes when I try to get youtube videos.When I am in Vista all types of video are displayed correctly. I dont know what is going on.I really appreciate all your help and I like linux and will probably get rid of Vista if I can resolve this problem. I am not a programmer and cant figure this out alone. Thank you.
