The files use a different codec than the '9' one.
It's easier for the device to play a saved file than one that it's streaming off the net, that's a data throughput problem.

The problem hear is the flash on iPlayer/YouTube that the videos are running in. Flash 9 uses software decoding but Flash 10 uses hardware which should make playback more comparable with Media player. No idea when/if to expect Flash 10 on Micro B. It might be out in beta?
Jenius I think you're wrong in that both streamed and downloaded iPlayer content uses the same bitrate and codec - it's the Flash that is causing this. YouTube I guess is the same issue.

Playing HD content on the n900 is a joke, it just won't work, yet viewing the 9 trailer (Which looks HD to me) in media player results in perfect playback.

Well 480p is hardly HD. It is actually the same line count as a regular TV has. I can't see any point on playing 720p (HD) or 1080p (Full HD) material on a device that can't output it on the display. Remember that high quality and high definition are two different things. Yes, you can enjoy high quality video on your device, but the resolution is "only" 800x480.

Hi, hope you don't mind me cutting in here, but just got my 900 today to replace a HTC HD2, and im a bit perplexed by the youtube playback.
The HTC i thought was a bit lame, but the 900 is real bad compared to it, and compared to the ipod touch come to that.
Is there any way to get a better experience with youtube?
Strange thing is that live webcam feeds seem to play superbly...
Many thanks

Second normal youtube vids should play smooth, especially in full screen maybe a little stutter at the start.
Dont even try to play HD Youtube.
some people have reported improved performance by setting browser cache to 40Mb.
You could try the N900 youtube app also.
are you on PR1.1

Just got the device this morning from Vodafone, went to their software support which directed me to the Nokia site. It updated the firmware to what i believe is the latest version.
I just edited the last post, webcam feeds are playing real nice in the media player, very impressed with those.
I have played around a bit, and tried full screen, the video is still quite pixilated compared to the other two devices, and tried the m.youtube app too, but no difference.
May have to accept that the 900 just cant play them as well as i would like.
Thanks for the help.

I dont expect hd in youtube, most desktops have trouble trying to play the high quality youtube vids, I was just trying to get the standard playback as good as the HD2 and Ipod touch.
Was led to believe that the 900 was very good at playing youtube vids, but I suppose it cant be good at everything....
unless you know a way to improve it

1) Why is this?
Playing HD content on the n900 is a joke, it just won't work, yet viewing the 9 trailer (Which looks HD to me) in media player results in perfect playback.
2) Why is this?
3) Will it ever be possible to play HD content on the n900 from sources like YouTube (Whether through a web browser or media player) and have fast, smooth playback?
Thanks
