YouTube: HTML5 is laggy vs flash

[GerMo]

I'm creating this thread because i've recently watched a few videos in the new HTML5 format on youtube, but unfortunately, it's REALLY laggy compared to flash, i'm sure that my mac is fully capable though.

Any solutions to this?

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all.

YouTube HTML5 playback is still in development, but it is by no means new. I have used it for a while now. I notice no particular lagginess.

HTML 5 isn't ready yet, hence the poor performance. Flash however, runs like a dream at the moment.

Youtube HTML5 playback is pretty horrible at the moment. I'm using the Youtube5 extension instead.

Totally agree, will definitely give that a try.

Yes HTML5 is the worst in its present state, videos don't play back properly at all and is completely unusable for me on Mac Pro 10.6.8 using Safari.
