Title: Need help with IE
Post by: mr.WHO on May 16, 2006, 02:49:16 am
Recently my IE don't want to archivize the movies I watch on web like those
http://www.youtube.com/

Normaly, when I fully buffer such movie I can watch it fully and when I open it later I don't need to buffer it again because it's saved.

now it don't want to save them, dunno why. I cleared history, cookies and temporary internet file but with no effect.

help.

1) http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox
2) YouTube's player works with Flash's in-built file straming system which only loads and plays what it needs. Nothing is cached directly to your hard drive.

Thid means that my IE is OK <I didn't noticed that few of my movie pages begin to use Flash's in-built in the same time>

There are really only three competitors running

IE7 Beta 2
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3
Opera 8.5

Run Firefox, run Opera, go! *Spits at IE as it goes past*

There're couple of competitors being carried along on gurnis

Safari
Konqurer (spelling was never my strong suit)

I would agree with that Mars.  The current IE6 is a horrid piece of garbage that should have been ditched ages ago and the only reason its being replaced now is because of Firefox giving it something to worry about.

I haven't tried the IE7 Beta 2 yet but I hear its pretty decent and a step in the right direction.  Bringing some much needed features to the masses.  Firefox is my primary browser but I pay attention to Opera and I keep wanting to try it...its certainly a very nifty browser if not perfect for my needs.  As a closet web developer at this point I think having all three is worth it.

I have Firefox 2.0a2 and IE7b1 installed right now. I would upgrade to IE7b2, but it won't install until I uninstall IE7b1, which the computer won't let me do.

Personally, I gave up on IE when it started crashing after about 12 seconds of browsing Hard Light, anyone else ever have that problem?

The beef I have with IE is it's complete lack of following standards. It means I have to write for most browsers, and then try and make it compatible with IE, generally ripping my hair out along the way.

Now you can say that IE 7 fixes some of these problems, well I say bollocks. The fact that it only works with XP SP2 and above is enough reason for me to STILL have to write for IE 6.
It's ridiculous.

At the risk of making an on-topic post, there are several sites (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=download+youtube) which allow you to download FLV (Flash Video) files from the various streaming video sites. Then you'll need an FLV player (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=flv+player) to view them locally.

The magic of Internet Explorer's success.

What's IE? I only know of a web browser known as Firefox. :nervous:
