Very laggy embedded videos

Post by crumpets »

Tried both in opera and firefox. When I try to view flash videos embedded in something else (youtube.com works brilliantly) like this test drive film on a car blog: http://feber.se/bil/art/203646/volkswag ... t_4motion/ I get massive lag and it just becomes impossible to watch or do any other web navigation, I need to close the whole site.

What kind of problem is this most likely?

It's a little bit jerky here also but not as bad as your saying. try going to a youtube movie when it comes up right click the mouse . in the menu list that comes up select settings then uncheck the box that says hardware excelleration.

How much RAM do you have ?
A little jerky under Chromium too.Use your download helper extension in FF, download it then play it with Mplayer or VLC. It could be the video is crap. 80 % of YouTube videos are a waste of bandwidth.
