For some reason, when viewing my own videos on my own channel, the videos are choppy.

When viewed outside my channel, they're fine. I have no idea what's causing this and from what I hear, other people have no problems viewing videos on my channel.

Anyone have any idea what's going on? :(

I'm not experiencing any problems either (through watching videos in your channel and my own).

Though, I think I experienced a similar problem some time ago. Though, all I did to fix it was by closing the browser window, waiting a few minutes and opening a new one.

If anything, the videos didn't load properly.

I've tried it several times over the last few days now, I can't think of anything that's causing this.

Especially because when played outside my channel they're fine. :(

Try this:

Click on your username at the top of any page on YouTube and click on "Account" from the drop-down box. From there, click on "Playback Setup" and under "Video Playback Quality," select "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video." Click on the "Save Settings" button and see if that fixes the problem.

What internet browser do you use? Does the same problem occur in other internet browsers?

Edit

Have you tried clearing your cookies, history, temporary files, etc?

When you watch a video make sure it's starts from the very beginning so it downloads the video especially with 720p and 1080p or you'll get tons of choppiness.

and nice videos mate. :p

I use IE (I know, I know) and I clean all of that regularly. No idea if it does the same on other browsers, but it's weird that it only does it inside my own channel and not outside of it.

Lith, thanks, and yeah, I do let them load from the beginning. That doesn't seem to be the problem.

Just tried like 10 different channels. I think there was like 1 that wasn't choppy. It's only when viewing directly through channels. Direct Youtube links are no problem.

A few minutes ago, I tried watching a video through your channel with Internet Explorer and, interestingly enough, it was choppy.

I'm looking around on Google for a possible solution (other than changing internet browsers), but I haven't found any yet.

Though, make sure your flash players are up-to-date.

I'll update my Flash Player right now, it seems to be an IE problem though. Maybe it's time I made the switch. :(

You should have made the switch a long time ago...Is it only choppy for you in HD though? Or also in SD? Youtube in HD requires sick amounts of processing power. I can watch high quality 1080p movies on my laptop, but it struggles with 1080p Youtube for some reason.

Nah it was also choppy in SD.

Avenger helped me setting up Firefox properly and I have to admit I'm not disappointed. The choppiness is also gone. I guess it's some IE problem, somewhere. :/
