Embedded Video Problem

Couldn't find a thread on this, so decided to start a new one. Apologies if one already exists on this. If so merge them.

I've noticed that videos being embedded, seem to slow down the pages loading, almost to a crawl. And certain one's (Babevideo.co.uk) seem to want to load the entire video into the players buffer.

It's all well and good having certain video clips done this way, but some of them are just making it impossible to view certain pages, because the page takes several minutes to Finnish loading.

Could something be done to speed up this. As some pages have 3 or more embedded videos on them, and those pages are just impossible to view.

I can't say as I've noticed a lot of embedded vids on the same page. maybe I've not seen those threads.
I have noticed in the past that there is a problem with Babevideo.co.uk vids.
I assume you have the default setting of 10 posts per page, you could always reduce this in your user cp to 2 posts per page to speed it up
(only joking )
