Full screen flash lag final fix!

January 22, 2009 mrgnome Leave a comment Go to comments

For a while now i have had problems playing full screen flash movies. They have lagged, that is had very low fps (framerate). This has happened in Both IE and Firefox

I finally found a fix that works!

Do like this.

1.Go to the control panel and uninstall Flash Player and Flash ActiveX Control

2.Start INTERNET EXPLORER (It has to be IE), and install flash player from Internet explorer.

3. Close IE and start firefox. Install Flash player from Firefox.

Done! This helped me, and I’m playing flash movies in full screen on my 1680×1050 res monitor at high fps.

This solution really works, I have tried others but to no avail. I finally found this to work. ;)

surfthechannel here I come :)

    The most common issue with full screen in Flash is that the video hardware cannot keep up with redrawing the frames. If you have an integrated graphics card, simple turn off hardware acceleration and let the software scalar redraw the frames.

    Mike,

    Turning off HW acceleration might work for some issues, however not for the one I’ve been experiencing. The above solution is the only thing that helped me.

    And the flash was lagging with a Radeon 3850 HD :)

    Alex. You can use downloadhelper addon for firefox to download the flv files themselves and then look at them through vlc. But for an inline, in-browser player there is no alternative really that I know of. Sorry.
