Just found this comment on a video (posted by noor351). I discovered it works on all videos in youtube. So enjoy.


1- Pause this video at 0:00
2- Press and hold the left arrow key
3- Press the up arrow key.

All what we need is a video that is all black.

ETA - Try using this video. It starts off being black, so you can see the white snake and target easily.

ETA2 - forgot the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swDIEdqSqGk&feature=feedu

i tried it just now.. it worked....it not very useful though.. but it could be useful if your connection is slow.. while your browser is buffering the video, you gotta play while waiting.... :)
 
Lots of features on YT that no one seem to know about. Like the ability to end code to the end of a URL to make a video start playing at a certain timepoint (like for example 1:41 in).

How do you do that?

Put the minutes/seconds at the end of the URL with a #t=MMmSSs

Like if you want to see this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOQNlcXN_-w

... starting at 1 minute and 12 seconds you'd put... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOQNlcXN_-w#t=01m12s

To put the link in BB Code you'd do something like...

Click [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOQNlcXN_-w#t=01m12s]here[/url] to start at a minute and 12 seconds into the video of me feeding my White Breasted Nuthatch.

The result in a post would be... Click here to start at a minute and 12 seconds into the video of me feeding my White Breasted Nuthatch.

I tried it with the [yt][/yt] tags and it doesn't seem to work with that method.
