Is it possible that videos on youtube that are not very much watched (less than 10k views), about 2 years old are lagging on my computer because their source video files aren't hardware acceleration supported and my cpu just can't draw it all by itself? I am actually watching the oldest lockergnome videos and the player is really slow and laggy although newer and more watched videos aren't.

the lag in those clips is because the source material of Chris was laggy too. the first live stream wasn't that great. It's not your pc and not your connection and not youtube, it's the source material that's bad..

I find that sometimes when a video is playing and downloading at the same time (streaming), my CPU finds it difficult and the video "stutters". Try pausing the video until it's finished downloading.

Yes. The video's lags are probably caused by original stream lagging. But I still think, that these old videos are taking more cpu. This video takes about the same amount of cpu percentage as regular HDs. So maybe Google converted some of the popular old videos to hardware accelerated format and not the unpopular ones.

You know his livestream wasn't like right now always. He used to have some worse livestream that mutes whenever there's no talking.
