I must be a nerd. I enjoyed the presentation and watched the whole thing.

However, I don't think the tone of his guitar was good at all. So there you go.

Well I made good time for a rodeo bull ride...8 seconds.

That tone was lousy, could not stand to get past the opening salvo.

Well, I made it all the way through. It is a little dry, but I found the parts on the history of guitar making very interesting. I am a bit of a geek, but I offset it with Led Zepplin and Blink 182. 8)

I will make another effort, since there's a "history of the guitar" part...might pick up a little tidbit that makes me happy.

Astonishingly, once he'd finished playing a few seconds further in it turned out that this video is not about the science of tuning a guitar. Awesome - and not in a good way.

Ok, so I've tried watching it from two different locations, machines and network connections, and it is incredibly jerky/rubberbandy in both, to the point that I can't focus on what's being said. Even if hitting pause for a few minutes to get it all buffered up, and then resuming, it does the same, so it's unlikely to be the two network connection.
So what I want to know is what program was used to convert this recording before uploading to Youtube, so I can avoid that program.

Arth1, it runs normally for me, even at 1080p. Try clicking the gear icon at the bottom of the video and change the quality to '240p'. Any better?

Nope. Same rubberbanding whether 1080p or 144p. It's like he's moving slightly fast for half a second, slightly slow for half a second, fast for half a second, slow for half a second, the entire clip. No such problems on other Youtube clips.
Same problem if switching from https to http (for far less overhead), and with two different network providers.
Flash player is the latest 64-bit version, and both PCs have i7s and plenty of RAM. Odd.

Some codec that doesn't work well with Linux, perhaps?

Ok, I see how my statment maybe misleading, there is no "history part", the history is sprinkled through out the video. Sorry, if it was taken that way. :oops:
