Just thought I'd follow up on this--it works, but just not quite the way I was hoping, but it does the job so I will use it until / unless I find something better. What happens is that when either of the memory limits I set (for RES or VIRT) are exceeded, iceweasel shuts down. I was hoping that something would magically just keep iceweasel from using more than those limits, I was hoping it would do something like swap the least recently used pages (of memory) or something out (to limbo) when the limits were exceeded, but I'm not sure how that could be done--I guess that would need modifications to iceweasel itself. Anyway, this does the job--thanks very much!

Message-ID: <200911220920.22279.rhkramer@gmail.com> I've "downloaded" some videos from Youtube by the expedient of finding the file in the Iceweasel cache and then saving it elsewhere. My problem comes in viewing the files later--I've found a variety of instructions that involve converting the video to another format, and then using a standalone player (like mplayer or noatun, the two that I have installed on my Debian 5.0 (Lenny) system), but run into a variety of problems. I might expound on those later, but the simpler question for me is why can't I simply do something to view those files in Iceweasel where they obviously worked when I viewed them from Youtube? I suspect I'd need to do something like create a local HTML page that embedded a viewer somehow, but I'm really just guessing and don't have a clue. I've tried looking at the source of a Youtube page, but so far haven't found anything that I can recognize as helping me. Randy Kramer Aside: In general, the alternates I found that involved converting the video to another format resulted in much less resolution (although they did reduce file space--for the videos I'm considering, file space is not really a consideration, I'd rather have the resolution). If it is not feasible to view the original downloaded video (on, for example, Iceweasel, I'll probably ask more questions about conversions that preserve the resolution later.

For whatever reason, that just doesn't work--well, to be more accurate, nothing happens if I choose to "open" the file with iceweasel, and if I choose to open it with (g)mplayer, mplayer plays the sound, but not the video, and I get the error something like "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (vo) device." I'm not sure where to modify iceweasel to possibly specify the -vo xv option for mplayer--hmm, I guess I could create a wrapper script for mplayer that would be found before the "base" mplayer... I might play with that later--for now, things are much better... Thanks again!

Agreed! I keep extra things around but it all gets handed down eventually. I have a close friend who gets my old desktop when I buy new.
