when i'm watching a video either from youtube or veoh for a set amount of time, the computer automatically turns off the brightness down..

where do i change the time for this auto dimming feature? not the keyboard but the screen.

Click on the battery icon at the top and click 'enery saver preferences' then untick 'dim brightness before going to sleep'. You'll need to do it for battery and power adaptor modes.

I use a small program (~50kb) called Caffeine to prevent it from dimming. Runs quietly in the menu bar. Of course this doesn't solve the underlying issue, but it's great for watching web videos.
