    I have had some serious problems with video playback on any site that uses flash as their means of delivering video content.

    Some examples of sites are youtube, HULU, and abc.com

    everytime i go into full screen mode the video becomes choppy, delayed and just unbearable to watch.

    I have a geforce 9200m gs with 512 mb of vram running at 1920x1200, a core 2 duo 2.0ghz HP dv4t running vista x64 (though i had problems with both windows 7 beta and vista x86) and i have the latest nvidia drivers and downloaded the latest flash software.

    I have also tried multiple browsers (IE, firefox, chorme) and also tried both enabled and disabled hardware acceleration in the flash setting so i am really at a loss..
    PLEASE ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    have you tried letting the video stream first, sometimes you just have to pause the video for a minute or two, then play it

    yes i have tried doing that. i also have my computer set to high preformance in the battery plan.

    as a side note the resolution i am running at obviously means i have an external monitor attached. if lower the resolution the video isnt choppy, but i want to avoid having to change the resolution each time!~

    found this in an s10 forum trying to fix our compaq... worked for us!

    "Since the video is shared ram (and thus shared bandwidth) it *MIGHT* help to turn off flash's "hardware acceleration" option (where it uses the vidchip to try to speed up the video). It's a tossup whether that would help or not, but it won't hurt to try."

    with the video open, right click and go down to settings. there are a bunch of icons at the bottom of the box, click the first one, and unclick the checkbox.
