Ok. Problem solved. It turns out there was no Safari incompatibility with a 10 hour Youtube video. In fact, there is no 10 hour You Tube videos to begin with... they are, of course limited to 15 minutes. There's not even a Safari either. It took me a while to accept this, but I eventually came to accept it. There isn't even a Google Chrome, or a Fire Fox. The whole thing made sense when I called customer support, and I got Steven... who walked me through the process. I had been surfing a virtual reality website at Oculus Rift using Internet Explorer, and over time I forgot the reality I was in was virtual. I got caught in a loop where other browsers seemed possible, one browser surfing from within Internet Explorer, as if other browsers could coexist in a compatible world. Running into the 10 hour paradox just brought the whole virtual world in on itself, each nested within another, but it's all good. Steven helped me close all those virtual windows, and slowly brought me back to the window I started with at Oculus, using Internet Explorer.

I saw the end of the video. It has an end. I was there, and back again.
