Flash video performance on Vista poor

I have windows vista service pack 2 (32 bit) installed on a laptop with the following specs: Intel Celeron M 520 1.6Ghz with 1GB of Ram
I am using Internet Explorer 9 and have Flash player version 11.7.700.169 installed.
The youtube video's (which uses flash) or any other flash movie that I view in this browser is extremely choppy. Very poor performance. (Same symptoms experienced in Chrome)
It is not due to buffering since I can see in youtube that the video download is much faster than the playtime. I have also used the same internet connection with a Windows 7 PC and internet explorer 9 and same flash player version with excellent performance.
What can I do to improve the playback performance of flash movies in Vista?

I tried Firefox but I still can't play embedded videos there either. I didn't have any issues at all until those darn Windows updates installed
As far as the security settings and trusted sites.....that's not my issue here. But thanks for trying.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated.

Flash video performance poor in Firefox 3 and other newer Gecko-based browsers; fails to detect mouse movement in full-s

Regardless of configuration, I have found Flash video
performance on Firefox 3 to be severely sub-par. Numerous visual
lags occur throughout a typical Youtube video as it cannot seem to
manage to maintain a steady frame rate. When in full-screen, mouse
movement is not detected, forcing me to click in a full-screen
Vimeo video in order to display its controls when I should have
only needed to move the mouse. I was informed that the technical
explanation for this is that Flash isn't triggering MouseEvents
other than MouseEVENT.CLICK.
In my tests, this behavior also occurred in Flashplayers 9
and 10 as well as with recent versions of other browsers that also
use the Gecko rendering engine, namely Camino, Flock and Songbird,
but not in Firefox 2. I was told by a Mozilla employee that this
issue can only be solved by Adobe.
This has forced me to use the Safari browser as my only
available work-around. I implore that these issues get resolved as
quickly as possible.

guys, im exactly experience the same issue here.. any
solution guys? tks in advantage..

Flash Video performance is horrible in Internet Explorer 11 & 10 Win7 64bit

ActiveX Shockwave Flash Add On is installed correctly and activated.
ActiveX filtering is off.
nvidia Video hardware (Quadro FX 2700M) drivers are current and up to date with the latest version 332.50
Tested with Flash hardware acceleration on and off = same problem

Any suggestions what the culprit may be?

What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

Satellite P100 PSPAD: Unable to update BIOS 3.8 and poor video performance

Hello,
I have absolute shoddy video performance on my machine as well as the fan on/off issues.
To add to my frustrations the WinPhlash programme included in BIOS version 3.8 dumps out when trying to flash giving a PHLASHNT.SYS unable to load message with various error codes associated with it (codes 5 and 147 depending on if I run the exe as it is extracted from the ZIP, or run the extracted files independantly).
I have checked all permissionings on the folder and I definately have full control - but still a generic "check your accounts, if you have no permissions please log in again!" message is displayed.
any help with my BIOS issue would be apreciated.

Hi,
I have had the same error message on P100 PSPADE and furthermore the laptop was no longer under control, neither by keyboard or by menu impossible to switch off. I have had to unplug and to remove the battery. Then impossible to switch on.
According to the local ASP the motherboard is KO (??) and the safest way to upgrade the bios was to boot from an USB floppy in DOS mode?
Sounds strange but be careful.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Flash Player.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Adobe Flash Player.

If the video is only available in a format that requires Flash player : then no.
However, a great many can also be viewed in an HTML5 version, in which case http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ or similar can be set up so that Flash never runs unless you specifically choose it to.

Flash video Progressive Download Performance

I've rendered a series of Flash Video movies selecting the
HIGH Quality, Progressive Download settings.
Even with a cable modem connection speed of 8 Mbps, these
movies choke badly on playback.
http://www.reikoproductions.com/
I don't imagine the SWF publish settings have anything to do
with this, but I have them set to JPEG Quality 100, and the
Compress Movie checkbox is UNCHECKED.
I am presently rendering a set of movies at MEDIUM Quality
settings, but I'd like to know why these movies choke like this,
with this fast of a connection. I don't know much about the web
hosting server these are posted on, but could it be a slow server?
Something in the HTML code I've missed?
Thanks!

This is an incorrect question. Length itself (duration) does
not
matter. Only bitrate does. Check your video bitrate and
evaluate your
channel bandwidth.
Progressive download has two big disadvantages against
streaming:
- it takes all available channel bandwidth regardless to the
video
bitrate. It may cause problems at the client side;
- it does not allow quick navidation across the video unless
it will
be completely downloaded to the user's computer.
If you'd like to avoid such problems and you have a
webhosting with
PHP (or like that), then you could try to use so called HTTP
Streaming, which resolves both of these issues without
special server
usage. You can find some information here:

Video Contrast in Flash Video Poor in Dreamweaver Playback

I am using Flash Professional 8 and Dreamweaver 8 to maintain a website. I have just started using flash to show video highlights from high school football games which I record. Using iMovie I export the video as quicktime file and then import to flash to convert to a flash video file to post on the web site. The video coming out of iMovie has very good contrast and the quicktime movie has the same good contrast. When looking at the file in Flash the contrast changes dramatically. I becomes washed out. I am using Max OX 10.6 operating system. I am new to flash and need some help?

Thanks doghouseJim, tried AVI & MP$ still no improvement. Sometime is
happening in the conversion process from the iMovie file to flash
format.

Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

Hello everyone,
Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
Summary:
Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
Thanks,
Talha

Flash video in RDP session

I have a problem, we have installed a VDI solution that uses Wyse V10L clients. The clients make an RDP connection to a virtual desktop and then is presented with a desktop environment.
From this RDP session we have made every attempt to get Flash based videos working, however the quality is very poor. We are experiencing delays in video and audio.We have installed all of the recommended TCX Multimedia packages, published by Wyse, even the Beta Re-distributer product and the quality has not been improved.
Can anyone advise how Adobe intend to combat the problem with running Flash video (youtube) via RDP?

Hi Daniel,
Actually, there is a method to improve the display of Flash video in RDP sessions. Ericom Blaze is a software-based RDP acceleration AND compression product that improves video response over WAN and congested LANs. Besides delivering higher frame rates and reducing screen freezes and choppiness, Blaze accelerates RDP performance by up to 10-25 times higher, while significantly reducing network bandwidth consumption over low-bandwidth/high latency connections.
Ericom Blaze works with any standard RDP host, including VDI, Terminal Servers and remote physical machines.
You can read more about Blaze at:

Flash Player performance slowness and mouse lag

I've been having this problem for a while. I already did the usual google searching and didn't find anything useful. Specifically its games I play on kongregate and other sites. When they are using flash player I tend to get poor performance. If it uses a mouse cursor the mouse lags/skips across the flash player window, when it leaves the flash player area the lag doesn't occur. I dont have problems when I'm in games or general responsiveness of the system, I've plenty of space, low processor utilization, low memory utilization, etc etc.
I have windows 8.1, IE11, the latest flash player, video and system drivers are all the latest and greatest. I've found articles suggesting to turn on/off hardware/software gpu acceleration in IE, it also occurs in Firefox.
ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
Which video HW do you have in your dell?
Thanks

Help, PE8 says: "Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card"

I receive the following error message in the lower left corner of the screen upon starting a new project in PE8 or opening an existing one: "Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card or driver." It seems that Premiere Elements 8 is not recognizing and hence not using my GPU to render files when burning DVD's. Unlike PE4, which utilized my GPU ( I know this because I've installed GPU-Z which shows me when a program is utilizing my GPU) when encoding files and the like, PE8 takes more than twice as long to render the same files and projects when I attempt to burn to a dvd. Not to mention it utilized my CPU at around 98% for the duration of the 2 hour burn, heating my CPU to dangerous levels.
I have the latest Graphics card driver for my Nvidia GTS 250: v195.62
I've called technical support and they sent me to the following troubleshooting article, but I've tried everything to no avail: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/514/cpsid_51427.html.
Here are my computer specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, SP2
Intel Quad-Core Q6600
3 Gig Ram
4 Hard-Drives
Nvidia GTS 250 Graphics Card
blah..blah..blah
P.S. I can't re-install PE4 as it was bundled software that came with my wife's computer..and I consequently tried to uninstall/reinstall to my system with no serial number...Also, I don't want to revert back to an earlier nvidia driver on principle (b/c PE8 should work as advertised with the latest nvidia drivers) and more importantly, doing so might interfere with my games and other programs.
One last thing. PE4 utilized my GPU, I downloaded the latest trail version of Cyberlink's Power Director Software and it utilized my GPU, even windows dvd maker uses my GPU...However, I've spent a lot of time with PE4 and I love the features and the interface and would rather work with the latest from Adobe. I'm using PE8 for a lot of video projects and I don't want to have to waste time watching it take 2 hours to render a DVD when PE4 did the same project in 45 minutes.
Any advice regarding this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It could be that the message is benign. Premiere Elements does not use your graphics card to render your video. That's a function of your processor.
Your graphics card effects your onscreen display only. So, unless you're seeing a significant drop in the quality or function of your onscreen display, I wouldn't worry about it. (The program is likely switching automatically to a compatibility mode.)
It could be that a Windows Update is conflicting with something in your graphics card's driver -- and it will eventually be corrected in a later driver release.
So, unless your display is degrading when the program switches to compatibility mode, just ignore it and keep working.
Version 8 is a massive resource hog and, for reasons I can't figure out, takes twice as long and uses twice as much power to accomplish the same things that previous versions accomplished using very little power. I'm not sure what Adobe's strategy is with this.

Still getting Display Error in PE8: "Display performance will be poor due to Incorrectly..."

I recently updated my OS from Windows Vista (32-Bit) to Windows 7 (64-Bit). When working with PE8 in Windows Vista, I would receive the following error (signified by a red X in the lower left hand corner of the screen) whenever opening an existing project or creating a new one "Display Performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card or driver!" To my consternation, I'm getting the same message after updating my OS with a CLEAN INSTALL of Window 7 64-bit. I have the latest, stable Nvidia card driver 196.21 and have installed the latest patch from Adobe 8.0.1. I'm interested to see if anyone is having this reoccurring GPU-incompatibility problem after installing the new patch.
Any solutions that don't involve simply turning off GPU playback are much appreciated.
As this is not a "workflow" problem I don't see the need in displaying an exhaustive list of all of my Computer assets. However, here are the basics.:
Computer: HP Pavillion M9150f
Processor: Intel Quad-Core Q6600 2.4 GHZ
Ram: 8 GB
Video Card: Nvidia GTS 250 1gb Ram, Latest WQHL Nvidia Driver 196.21
I have no other Video-Editing software installed, not even windows movie maker.
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

Adobe's silence on the issue leads one to believe they simply cant fix it.
That could well be a reason. However, if history is any indicator, Adobe is always tight-lipped about any plans, or works in progress, until they are ready for "prime time." Recently, a lot of podcasts and blog-spot pieces began appearing on changes in PrPro CS5. Many of these are directly related to GPU acceleration with certain nVidia cards, and a totally new render engine, Mercury. Still, other than some observations from select personnel, and a few demo videos, the complete details have not come forth. Also, there has been caution that Mercury might NOT make it into CS5. Only time will tell. So silence is not new from Adobe, and there could be various reasons for it, from re-coding being an impossible task to the patch/fix not being quite ready for release. PrPro CS4 got three significant updates, plus updates to Encore and AME. It was only about one week before those releases, that a single word hit the fora.
Good luck,
Hunt
HERE was the "sneak peak" on Mercury.
HERE is a thread on nVidia support for it.

Help..Flash Videos work for Chrome/IE but NOT Firefox

So I cannot see some flash videos on Firefox (like sites CNet & Disney do not work) which use flash. It does work on Chrome & IE.
1. ALL Programs are the newest/latest versions.
2. I removed and downloaded all programs- restarted the computer after each download.
3. I have the latest Flash (according to the website) when I view the Adobe Flash Website on Firefox.
I don't know why some flash videos work...and some do not.
I am running Vista. All my programs are legit...and I do have McAfee running..I don't download porn, no viruses etc.. Anyone have advice?!!

ok ok
I disabled firewall which - for some weird reason- allow it to play in Firefox. Videos played in IE & Chrome- but not in Firefox, until I disabled Firewall..weird.
