Problems while viewing YouTube videos

[Beginner-At]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I've googled for an answer, but no result. Also, I've got the feeling that when discussing problems with the size of YouTube videos, the problem discussed is not the one I'm talking about. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When I watch videos on YouTube, some of the videos are the right size. Others are too large for the screen, so, for example, if the video's title is [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]TITLE TITLE TITLE TITLE SPORT EVENT VIDEO[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]FILMED IN SUCH AND SUCH YEAR, AT ETC ETC[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO IS BLAH BLAH BLAH [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]all I see, for example, of the title is [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]TITLE TITLE TITLE TITLE SPORT EV[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]FILMED IN SUCH AND SUCH YEAR, A[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In other words, sections are missing, because the video is too large to fit within the screen. Also when I use YouTube's “Theatre Mode” and “Full Screen”. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]It does not happen with all videos. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I normally use Firefox and Windows 8.1. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I've tried to change YouTube's own settings, no improvement. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I've tried various Firefox addons, no improvement either. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In advance, I thank you all. [/FONT]

depends on what the video it`s self is recorded in as 720p 1080 ..um quality of vid`s older the crappier..i found in full screen mode you may find most of the vid`s are very poor in quality..the best thing if in full screen mode is to shrink it down....also you should look at getting ad-ons for firefox just google ..firefox addons you will have to sort through them there are 1000`s..depending on your issues with the net...

Thanks for the answer.

Some of the videos are new, some are “old”.

The problem started a few months back.

The problem is there also when I use the “small” YouTube screen. I rarely use “Theatre Mode” and “Full Screen.”

I’ve tried Firefox addons. No improvement. Also, as far as I can see, they change the size and position of YouTube’s screen. Not the size of the video inside the YouTube’s screen.

My computers work fine, on and off the internet.

I’ll stop using YouTube for six months or one year, and then I’ll check and see if the problem is still there.

Again, thanks for your help.

Could you give us the Make/Model of your monitor? Also have you tried watching the same problem videos in IE or Chrome??

Have you tried using the addon YouTube Center?

Is flash updated?

If you want to completely remove flash and reinstall use Adobe's uninstaller. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

In YouTube Center you can use the HTML5 option so it won't use flash.
