    For the life of me I cannot figure out this problem. Clearly it is video related, but no driver updates seem to fix it. Basically when I play HD videos full screen I sometimes get corruption that is only fixed if I exit then re-enter full screen.

    Any ideas? Flash is up to date, using latest intel and nvidia drivers for the respective vendors websites. Pic attached to show what is happening. :confused:

    Try disable video hardware acceleration in youtube/flash options.

    I get the exact same thing. It happens about 90% of the time when I first hit the full screen option on imbedded videos. The sound is fine. I just exit full screen and then go back to full screen and all is fine. I agree that it is a little annoying. I have noticed that it only happens to me when I'm using the Intel graphics. If I force my browser to run my Nvidia GT555m, the full screen problem doesn't happen.

    I also get this, but by dragging the video back a few seconds works fine
