It's because you are watching youtube videos on the website itself. A dedicated youtube application allows for higher quality video streaming, that's why youtube videos look better on HTC Desire or any other smartphone which has such app. You should try downloading zoutube, and see if it makes a difference.

That's because something is wrong with youtube, it seems that they "pessimize" the video player every few months, it eats up more and more cpu and works worse and worse on slower machines.

For some reason zoutube doesnt work for me so I've installed Media Box and a youtube plugin for it. Works like a charm 
although it eats battery quality is better that in MicroB

Edit: However, recently I noticed that youtube apps like zoutube plays videos having lower resolution than N900's screen quite perfectly i.e without suffering the banding whereas some 16:9 ratios/higher res videos suffer so it may be coz of mechanism used to squeeze them to fit to fullscreen??

ill tell you wot i think is happening. youtube detects that it is a mobile device that is not high spec and lowers the bit rate of the video. i think this is happening because when i go on hd videos there is no option oi select the res on the hd. Even on piss poor pc's you get this option!

Hmm my YouTube performance is superb. This is the one area I never ever had complaints with. In fact, YouTube works better on my N900 than my desktop Ubuntu 10.04, which has always amazed me.
Maybe you should consider downloading 'extra decoders' from the repos?

when i veiw videos on youtube they are really bad quality and skip all the time.my n95 does a better job of playing them. is this how its meant to be on an n900?
