Having difficulty watching videos in youtube using Safari.

If I watch them here in our video forum, it's OK, but watching at the site, I get a black screen.

1. Had the same problem

Changed Safari to 32 bit mode
And activated YouTube's HTML5 beta.
All is good now.

3. I changed it to 32 bit mode, now it works. Thanks.

4. Glad to help -

Found it on the Apple discussion forum yesterday

The YouTube help pages were kind of lame - even though there were a lot of people with different OS's and browsers having the same problem.

5. Youtube doesn't let you send a bug report in Safari.

6. Well, YouTube and Google is teh evul

But we knew that.

Right up there with Micro$oft and A$$le.

7. I thought Google didn't want to do evil.

8. All computers are teh evul.

We have become tools in their hands.

It's time to go back to grinding your own ink and making your own paper. Hell, better to write stuff on stone tablets.

I'm only partly serious.

9. The only evil computer I met was an IBM clone running W 95

Oh how I hated that fucker. It was evil. The only time it was bearable was when I could work in DOS. DOS stayed out of the way, it was logical, and once you learned how to navigate, it was fast.

It was a Packard Bell. Had a friend throw one out his second story window.
