Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue. Help Would be awesome Thanks! Hey guys,

Also I tried your video on google video and guess what, it didn't even work... -- edit: Okay it started to work (It was a server end error though, googles fault) - and there is another disadvantage that you have to download a viewer to make it play in browser...

While it takes weeks for your video to get validated on GVideo, you can immediately watch your film on Youtube.com. That's good. The fact that you can leave comments, have a buddy and private list to share your films with, etc are all nice... but what I really care about is the quality of the video after conversion. And Google Video scores way better on that one. Not only does YouTube leave a (quite big) logo on your video, it also reduces the quality considerably. Google doesn't do that, no logo, no bad quality. You can compare for yourself: I uploaded twice the same (6sec) clip to both GVideo and YouTube. You'll see what I ment. :arrow: <a href="http://video.google.com/videopreviewbig?q=Tibault+Damman&time=0&page=1&docid=-154465303419362637&urlcreated=1124132535&chan=Uploaded&prog=Darth+Tibault&date=Mon+Aug+1+2005+at+7%3A10+PM+PDT" rel="nofollow">Watch DarthTibault on Google Video</a> :arrow: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/?v=5Gf4QCUukF8" rel="nofollow">Watch DarthTibault on YouTube.com</a> Hmm, I tested it too, it has advantages over Google Video, but I think I prefer the latter.
