So I've been searching around some forums and a lot of people have been having video performance issues one way or another, but so far i haven't been able to get an answer

I've got a macbook pro early 2008 with a nvidia 8600m gt with 256 megs. My problem lies in that my video performance has been a hit or miss, for instance i can play videos with vlc just fine, normal and big HD files, also fullscreen works fine, but as soon as I use another program like chrome or safari, video stutters and freezes, though the audio works fine.

Now flash video, some sites sort of work, like youtube, again if open another tab or page the video stutters, netflix works horribly, no matter what i do i cant see anything, stuttering all over the place.

My computer UI works fine though.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? or will i have to wait until apple fixes this?

Sorry if this has been asked a lot, its just that im really tired of this happening, i cant figure out a solution.

Thanks in advance.
