i was just wonder if its possible to get a virus just by looking at videos on youtube?

i dont think so, most of the time you have to accept something before it gets on your computer

The youtube videos are nothing but a flash file. You can't get a virus from it as far as I know.

Doubt it. I think when you upload videos to the thingy, if the website recognized it as a virus then they wouldn't put the video on youtube.

Cant get a virus through video streaming. While streaming, it just downloads that piece of the file as you see it and then...BAM, soon as you pass that frame, it siezes to exist on your HD.
