Mac OS 10.3.9 - Flash 9 (to watch HD video on YouTube)

If you wondered why High Definition (HD) / HQ (High Quality) / high resolution of videos on YouTube, Veoh, DailyMotion or any other video websites could not be played on your Mac, it's probably because you may not have the latest version of Flash.

I still have my iBook G4 running on the OS 10.3.9 (Panther) & could not play certain videos on YouTube. Perform a version check of your Flash here.

Apparently for Mac running OS 10.3.9, the most latest version is Flash Player 9, version

MAC 9,0,159,0. You can find out more about this from this macosxhints.com forum. Just download the Flash package available there & install the correct version for your Mac. Make sure it's the correct version.

I didn't bother uninstalling the previous versions of Mac that was installed on this iBook, but if you got the time to uninstall, then do so. I couldn't be bothered as the iBook is rarely used.

Now you'll be able to watch videos in HD! Neat... Of course it would be better to just upgrade to Leopard or get the most recent Mac / PC.
