I'm pretty much limited to closed captioning and I prefer to watch from the comfort of a recliner rather than at my computer desk.
Any serious Freeper has a recliner in front of his computer. LOL.. also if you use firefox and have the add on "Downloadhelper" you can copy any video on YouTube to video.
Like I said, there is many videos (more than a lifetime probable) worth viewing for free now on Youtube. Example in this thread is Sophie Scholl: The Final Days..
