Youtube is in the beta stage for HTML5 and they're trying out speed control for youtube vids!

Having the ability to slow down matches has been pretty useful to me for analyzing gameplay. Try it out!

Hmm... been a member on the boards for about 7 years yet... I've never..even.. heard of you :confused:

You know what? I know just the thing that can help you!

See that link in my first post? Click on it. It'll allow you to watch Youtube videos in slow motion :) Then you can analyze matches more thoroughly, which will benefit your (presumably) mediocre game. Then, if you do well enough in tournaments, I'll know who you are!

Lemme know how it goes :)

Dude, thanks. Just last night I was wondering if this existed. Now to actually see wtf is going on in Fox TAS videos without rewatching a million times.

I had this on a while back and thought it was cool for the same reason, but it suddenly disappeared =/
Guess i'll try and see if I for some reason got it changed back since you guys still have the option :)

be sure to double check the browser compatibility they have listed there, that may be it.

It asked me to upgrade to fire fox 4 which I did and it said that it should work.
The option to slow down is there but nothing changes.

Other than experimenting with it at different parts of the video and different speeds, I don't know how to help you out there, sorry.

Nope, it worked by turning it back on. Guess I was thrown off due to my computer running out of battery and deleting a ton of cookies. I know I always lose a fair amount of "remember me" logins this way every once in a while :)

Edit: lol, just realised you were talking to krisp. nvm then :p

I just watch my videos in fast motion so I look really good.

I've played Bones in tournament and I still have no idea who he is.
Then how do you know that you've played me? O.o

^the bad taste in his mouth.

edit: kso i googled this and it said not all videos work at different seeds yet but there's no credibility to that source soo...can someone send me a vid it worked on for them and I'll try it.

Edit 2: firefox can only support certain html5 videos and not others and some other stuff I did not read to much in t. So if it works for you on fire fox plz tell me, if you use something else then it's ok.

in all honesty this **** doesn't work. option comes up to speed it up and slow it down but clicking it has literally no effect on the video i'm watching or any subsequent videos i watch. i even tried banging on the back of my monitor and it still doesn't work

Then it won't work and you don't have to switch browsers, just get one to sue for this specifically until they hopefully get it for firefox in the future.
