Does this happen to everyone or is it just me? Im also looking into video editing with my canon hf10, but that includes mts video files which are HD, and my computer cant play those either.

Anyone know a way to fix this? Or any reccomendations for a graphics card or something, please give me a descriptive answer, *5 STARS FOR BEST ANSWER!

But i think it only concerned with the web speed. It has nothing to do with your computer. Of cource the RAM should not be too small.

Or I suggset you to download the youtube video on your computer and then you can watch them without waiting.

You can use this free youtube downloader: http://www.my-video-converter.com/youtube_downloader/
