Intresting you would find that out. This is the way I watch most YT vids. The play bar loads but the video does not. Too bad I could not get a Hi-res photo from the bar. I would be all set.......

lol, ok how?

Space sickness?  ;D  ;)
I was talking in general, not in that specific situation, as I understood (my mistake) the "You couldn't possibly do that filming by hand" as being generic.

The easiest way of that happening is when you try to point the camera to something and, either because of your movement of because of the movement of other things around you, you hit with one arm (or the arm holding the camera) in something, and you try to compensate the interference.

That has happened to me while taking photos.

I have found that if you let the video finish on utoob or pause it during play, you can do a mouse- over on the play bar and see the single frames, including the other craft that appear.

You can use something like this site to download the video from YouTube and then use Avidemux (open source) to watch the video frame by frame or even apply some filters and transformations. :)

I've been using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-video-and-audio-dow/?src=api with Firefox for the downloads.  I like it. :)

It also extracts the audio track for you into MP3 if you hear a tune you like but just want to listen to it on your MP3 player or whatever and don't want the video.  It's cool because it means that pretty much every song you like is easy to get on YouTube without paying.  (Sorry music industry :P )

I avoid things that only work on specific browsers, specially Firefox, which is the worst I use.  :P

For format changes I use Format Factory.

I use FFox because I'm used to it and I like the Adblock Edge add-on.  Apart from that it is no better than Opera or Chrome.  I'm not a fan of Internet Explorer though as I prefer to avoid using Microsoft Apps wherever possible. :P
