Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

In the past, I was able to watch YouTube videos on my Thinkpad X60 (CPU is probably close to what you have, mine has a Core Duo L2400) using h264ify. I don't know if this browser extension still works, but I used it to force YouTube to use h264 for all videos. Some old GPUs don't support newer ...

I tried it on two systems (Vista and Windows 7). Same result on both. I used imgburn on both. I used a dvd+r on the first and a dvd-rw on the second system.
