Report Playback Issues - A primer

Okay, here's a new feature that may be useful and may be not. It came out just around the fourth of July and I'll stop the video so you can pay attention... ...It's something called, oh, There it is! okay, get that circle on there... Al Qaeda bring it down there. Okay, "Report Playback Issue" down down down down down okay ...report playback issue. Instead of trying to go to the Help Forum, or trying to find some other way to contact [YouTube]... This is a direct way to contact YouTube about various playback issues. You'll see them on the list when you click on it ... What to do, is right quick on your video and you get that little pull-down menu That shows you this form and the interesting part of the form should be coming down pretty soon... It says "I have another issue. Provide details below:" The reason why I'm doing this is I've got a video that's been of broken for Oh, since November, and involves an issue with .AVI containers. Probably not very interesting to you, but, I put in the information. Look! there's a real a tiny space there but it actually holds a lot more information than you can see in that little box and you put your information in there and then you fill in the rest of the form and that's pretty much it! Now whether it works or not? ...time will tell, but least it's a way that gets your information directly to YouTube about any sort of playback issues you're having. Some of those may be concerns such as connection speed and other issues, but for people who are having problems with the audio, or videos being truncated, to are cut in half or lengthened, or any of a number of other issues that could come up when people are using different codecs [especially some not recommended] this is a way to get that reported. And you'll get a Feedback ID number [on the form]. You should make a of record of that ID, because I can't be sure how well this new feature will work and if you need to bring the issue up again, if it doesn't get fixed, that Feedback ID is likely to be your main tool to show this issue has been raised and follow up on your specific issue so anyway, enjoy the rest of the fireworks.
