    when im on you tube, and go to play a video a lot of the videos do the swirly loading thing then it says at the top, "We're sorry, this video is no longer available".

    this is very annoying, as it only happens some videos, it does play some of them.

    what the hell is wrong with my computer or is it YouTube, is anyone else having the same problem?

    oh, and YouTube was working fine, this all started a few weeks ago.


    suggestions would be appreciated, obviously i dont know a lot about this stuff,

    thanks.

    "We're sorry, this video is no longer available"

    This is just a hunch but maybe the video yur trying to view "is no loner available". ;)

    Youtube regularily take videos down which violated their terms of use. For example if the video is copyrighted youtube will be forced to take it down or get sued. Since google bought youtube videos get taken down a lot more regularily.

    I'm having the same problem but only on my laptop- the main pc plays all youtube videos fine. i thought it was our dns settings but i changed them from the opendns ones back to eircoms and it made no difference. Anyone have any idea- most of the videos just say they're 'no longer available'.

    sorry to hijack the thread but thought someone might be able to help with this. does anyone know how to set the video screen size to reduce on you tube. since about two weeks ago the only option is to increase the size. on my pc the picture is blurred. im using windows 2000.

    I was constantly getting that "We’re sorry, this video is no longer available" message too until I removed Google Web Accelerator.

    No issues since!!
