Youtube condenses the files down ALOT  - so we recommend  that you click on the text for the "high quality" version.  You'll find that link on the bottom right corner of the media player.   If your modem is slow & it plays jerky, just hit the Pause bottom on the player and let it completely download before you hit Play again.  It should play smoothly for you then.
