When opening videos on Youtube sometimes the page goes to "*c.youtube.com/" and the video starts playing automatically. How can I stop this?

One example of the link: "http://v5.lscache8.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWTVhSUl9FSkNNNl9QTFZJ&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=18&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1278874800&key=yt1&signature=95B2AFD9D163EDF34A5C40683BB8B0F1D3900B61.2CA7D3D58F1B0140BB78E2AAF0F4C0B586D8E5B4&factor=1.25&id=c96d3901078d23fd"

I'm running Safari 5.0 with ClickToFlash installed.
Tip for best answer: M$10.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This hasn't happened to me. I've done some reserch and it seems like there isn't anyone who has posted anything about how to fix this problem (or that has even had this problem). It sounds like a unique problem so I hate to say this but it sounds like your going to have to contact youtube.

Here is the suposed link to contact youtube http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py?contact_type=contact_us
The phone number is +1 650-253-0000

The only solution i can think of my self is changing your location ... but I'm not sure if this will work for you

(I know you want a definate answer but this is the best i am able to give you sorry if it didn't help)
source(s):
many google searches

It may have something to do with the language or locations settings for your account on Youtube. Scroll to the bottom and make sure the Language and Location options are set to how you want them.

One time I got stuck in Japanese mode on Youtube and the url always had a jp. I'm pretty sure I fixed it with the language and location settings.

Unfortunately, for many videos, you can't stop automatic play. It's the way they embedded the video on the web page, and set the values. 1 of the parameters when embedding objects on a web page, such as videos. is "autoplay".

I myself don't like doing this, as it slows down the browsing experience for your viewers, especially those that still may be on dial up. That's right lol. Not everyone has broadband availability.

In the link you provided, it's cache information and it looks like most of it contains values from your interent connection. but I could be wrong.
