Sometimes newer isn't better......

I don't like flv files as I am unable to fast forward them with VLC.

So I try to convert them to mp4 or download them as MP4 in the first place.

I use Keep It (its free as well)

782245 2009-06-14 22:19:00 Just out of interest what are you using as your youtube downloader as some don't work anymore I was using the soothink addon for FF but it stopped working for me

KeepVid (http:\\keepvid.com\) for me. No addons required.
Not sure if it does the HD clips as I don't think i've needed to download any :)

782246 2009-06-16 05:47:00 Oops . . . Accidentally found the answer here .

There is an option called "Album Art Download Policy", and I set it as "When track starts playing" . So theoretically it will "helpfully" find something that I don't recall or care when I double-click on a file . So I set it "Manual Download" (but I'm not going to touch the trigger in a long time anyway . . . ) . Launched FLV again and . . .

It took about half a second to display the first frame, and almost took no time on the second run, as it is already in the cache/RAM .

Now THAT's what VLC should be:punk, and :thanks a lot to everyone who offered me helps . (running out of problems to ask for now :lol: .

P . S . I use Free Download Manager to download FLV from Youtube . Won't bother with exact instructions here .

Glad you sorted that out - come to think of it I have the same setting at home - might check it and see if opening files speeds up at all. :punk
