Most sites are kind enough to only start their videos if the user clicks on the play button. Not autosport though, so every time we go to a page with an embedded video it takes ages for it to load and the video then starts playing by itself... Noisy background if we are already in the middle of a news page, for instance, and so on...

And usually either it is a video we've already watched because we wanted to, or a video we don't want to watch at all.

I am sure codding AutoRun=0 or AutoRun="No" is not a big issue, is it?  ;)

Many thanks in advance -- either by doing this very simple update or by trying to convince me there are reasons why it would stay as it is...  ;)

I am not talking about advertisement, BTW. I understand that if I am not a subscriber there will be ads, and that is fair to say the least.

I am talking about videos, like cars being launched, and so on. I would like to be able to play them only if I chose to do so.

Why not just use FlashBlock? Works for me.

It's so annoying, you start reading the articles and suddenly sound blasts out your speakers. Who came up with this bullshyt?
