Ever since i purchased my 15in (late 2008) MBP I have noticed that when viewing youtube videos in HD or veoh HD videos, they have vertical sync issues and the videos freeze for a split second and then continue playing during parts of the video. This happens with both my 9600 (512 mem) and my 9400 card. I have played wow and other games on the computer with no problems graphically so i dont know if it's a problem with the hardware dealing with flash or my hardware being faulty. This problem occurs on safari and firefox, and I have the newest flash player, 10.somethign.

I have tried viewing these videos on different connections with no noticeable difference. I have viewed the same videos on other macs-mac mini- and the problem is not there and I have also viewed the same videos on PC's without a single problem.

Also, I have vista 64bit partition and i viewed the same videos on that side to find the problem persisting.

Are other people with the new MBP's having the same problem or should I go to the apple store and have them look at it?

Edit:
I looked on other mac boards and it seems this is a problem with some MBP's but not all machines. Some people have the problem and others don't. Anyone have a solution?
