Youtube playback stuttering.

[jbrown]

MacbookPro 2.66Ghz - 8gb ram - OS X 10.7.2

What could cause this?

In playback, the video playback stops ( freezes ) every 5 seconds ( approx ) for a fraction of a second ( about half a second ). The sound carries on as normal - and when the video restarts it has caught up with the sound ( in sync ).

Any idea and how to fix this?

PS - Just checked - and it seems to be in any movie clip on a webpage.

cheers

• Find your Flash version and make sure it's the latest version available.
• Install ClickToFlash (Safari), Flashblock (Firefox) or FlashBlock (Chrome) to control which Flash content plays on websites.
• Use the YouTube HTML5 Video Player to watch YouTube videos, when available. (May impact fullscreen viewing. See link for details.)

Thanks - that seems to have worked

Just a quick update, I had stutter/choppy playback issues, on the highest spec 13inch macbook air 2011... Turns out it was the HTML youtube trial that caused the play back issues, opted out, works as it should do now. Suppose the long life battery power in the air will come in handy with Flash!
