sorry my english is bad but perhaps you understand me

I have a new MBP. My problem now is, when i playing a flash video I have horizontal lines. This is not in fullscreen mode.
Today i saw the same in a divx video which was played with the divx web player.

Has anyone the same bug?
For example here at 1:01 http://is.gd/6Vp8
 
here i have uploaded a screenshot

i have reinstalled my leopard, but the problem was here when i started first time safari and played a video

Whoa. :eek: Weird effect. Somehow seems to be something to do with a "vertical sync", its like tearing effect. You should not be seeing it. What version of flash you are running? Have you done all the updates from apple? Oh, you have it also on other videos. Thats "bad". Do you have external display? What display settings are you running? Have you installed any third party codecs? Do you see it on multiple players, quicktime, vlc or only on embedded web page? ..hehe couple questions i know...but if you see this on a fresh system, you have something wacky going on!
 
i tested it on a fresh leopard without any installations.
Now i have installed perian flip4mac and divx.

In quicktime i don´t have this prolems. only in flash and in divx.
I have installed the newest flash 10 version.
I don´t think its a hardware probleme. Perhaps a buggy nvidia driver.
Switching to the 9600 gt don´t change anything.

The interesting thing is, when i save the video as flv file and play it with vlc all looks perfect :confused:
 
now i know it´s a tearing problem.

I´ve checked the mac with the apple hardware test. It´s all ok.
Can please somebody with an new mb or mbp test if you have the same vsync/tearing problem by flash movies?

VLC and quicktime dont have this problem.

When you play flash movie, try pressing second mouse button on the video, go to the flash setting, and toggle hardware accell on/off..might help if its a driver problem :)
 
disabling the hardware mode makes it only very slowly.
the vsync problem is the same.
