    It's probably opening in 144p or some silly low resolution. There's an icon in the bottom right of the video window allowing you to select something useful. Depending on your connection, 480p or 720p should be okay.

    Youtube can be a right pain, there are a few plugins floating about to fix these issues.

    That's what happens YouTube starts in a low resolution and when determines your connection speed then it will switch to highrer resulotion . this can be annoying tho as ig llf you donnto have a stabe connection it can keep going to lower resuktions . I used to use a grease monkey script to change YouTube setting which fixes this abd allows full video loading but recently its stopped working i'm on the lookout for anlther one now.

    You might have caught video pixies on your PC. These are awkward little things that jam up up videos online with pixels and glyphs.
    Has anyone been watching videos any where other than youtube?
