i don't understad... so.. if i use minitube to watch youtube videos i get the same (and better) performance than xp (firefox+flash) .. i have an old pc (amd athlon 2500+ nvidia Geforce 7600 GS, 1GB ram) but with firefox 3.6.10 chrome opera etc my CPU can't handle the load.. why is that? minitube on ubuntu runs fine but adobe flash can't :/

Flash runs well on my pc with Ubuntu. Definitely better than on my wife's Mac which can't even handle full screen flash without stuttering. P.S. I let Ubuntu install flash for me via (apt-get install flashplugin-installer).

How do I do it? Adobe Flash is utter junk. My Laptop damn near explodes when I watch Hulu or HQ youtube.

Because it's Flash.

and then..
Join the HTML5 Beta (http://www.youtube.com/html5#)


but.. it's actually slower than flash on my PC :-) and not all youtube's videos are in WebM format, but that's just me.. maybe it will work great for you.

Because flash cannot use xv, like other plugins like gecko-mediaplayer or totem, which uses a lot less CPU. I don't use minitube, by suspect it does something similar to my extension FlashVideoReplacer. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161869/)

Use Chromium and install the chromium-ffmpeg-extra package. Then enable HTML5 in Youtube and with that, you can have a flash free Youtube (mostly)
