i too have this issue on all my PCs
i have Ubuntu and windows (for testing purposes) installed on all of them. My primary OS is Ubuntu. Hardware Acceleration does not do anything in Ubuntu. I have both a geforce 5200 and geforce 8400M GS. They both lag badly in fullscreen compared to windows. In windows it plays fine in full screen on both video cards. downgrading back to v9,0,48 in Linux solves these speed issues. It's clear that the Linux flash version has not been optimized at all making it unusable on older hardware using linux, while the windows version will run fine on the same old hardware. also affects:
AMD Athlon64 3000 Nvidia 6200 Ubuntu Gutsy, Hardy nvidia or nv driver Same issue with FF2 and FF3 under Ubuntu 7.10... slow performance, fullscreen youtube video is choppy at 100% CPU usage, default video size is very processor intensive with %50+...
Flash games (such as www.addictinggames.com) are slower and use more CPU then they do under Windows XP. my system: Ubuntu 7.10 (also effects 8.04 and 7.10 with new kernels) AthlonXP 3200+ @ 2.0ghz ABit NF7-S Mobo with NForce 2 Ultra chipset 2GB DDR Memory NVidia 5900XT w 128MB using latest nvidia linux driver same thing here:
fullscreen playback performance has been getting worse ever since 9.0.115. It was OK with 9.0.48, but with 9.0.124 i can watch as the frames draw (<1 FPS). This is pretty stupid as there's no way to make flash playback in a window, like it did with 9.0.48, which was fine. Strangely, any video from PBS broadcasting runs smoothly in fullscreen mode.

Adobe, come on, your Linux support is seriously disappointing! I want to be able to recommend flash over Microsoft's silver light, but your continuing attitude towards linux makes it hard to do This bug is about stuttering video in normal view (not fullscreen).
But luckily I found it only happened in Mandriva Linux 2008.0. I've installed the new Mandriva Linux 2008.1 and installed on it flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm. Youtube.com videos play on my system now fine without stutter in normal view. Of course in fullscreen view it plays with stutter but I don't mind for now (the resolution of youtube videos is too low for fullscreen). Same here, on Fedora 8 x86_64, Intel Q9450 and Nvidia 8600 GT. Video runs fine in normal view, but like a slideshow in fullscreen.
This is pretty sad I am running Hardy 8.04 with a pretty good computer a dual core 3600+ with an asus mobo 2gb RAM and a geforce 8800 gts 512mb. This sucks with all the available streaming content (Hulu - one of best things since stage6 shut down). The pathetic thing is veohTV will probably be ported to linux before adobe would fix this.
Same problem here. Ubuntu 8.04 on AMD 64 3200+ with 2 gig ram and nvidia 7800GT. Youtube and google videos in small size seem to be okay, but full page flash sites like http://ironmanmovie.marvel.com/ will cause my whole system to slow down. Even the keyboard gets laggy if I have the site open on a tab in Firefox and try to type in another tab. This is a major regression from the flash 9 I had in Ubuntu 7.10.
Enabling Hardware Acceleration should help with playback by reducing CPU load and/or directly accelerating video playback.
However this feature does not appear to have any effect under Linux. A bug report regarding this feature is available here: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-205 Same problem here.. low performance in all linux distros and especially ubuntu.
Same problem
Ubuntu 8.04 64 Dell Vostro 1700 (nvidia, 4gb ram) Funny thing: If I want to have full screen stutter free video I need to launch a Windows VM in VMWare. In the VM everything runs stutter free, though this really is no workaround at all. One more note:
Full screen video plays fine using totem. But this does not help with flash... Same problem here...
Ubuntu 8.04 32bit AMD Athlon XP 3200+, 2GB ram Fedora 9 64bit Sony VAIO VGN-FE41Z Intel dual core 2GHz, 2GB ram Youtube and many other flash-based components are terrible on my system. Adobe, please get your sh** together on this - the crap support is getting old and it's probably about time I stop wasting my time with your plugin and go full GNU-only. I'll give you one more version before I rip your crappy plugins out.
Two machines here:
1) Xubuntu 8.04 + Flash 9.0.124.0 on Athlon Mobile 1500+ w/ savage KM133 integrated graphics. Fine-ish BBC iPlayer non-fulscreen, slideshow fullscreen. 2) Ubuntu 8..04 + Flash 9.0.124.0 on Athlon XP 2000+ w/ nVidia 4000 MX integrated chipset. Same problem (but used to play fullspeed with Fedora? Unknown Flash version unfortunately) Has anybody tried the latest Flash 10 Beta? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjU2NQ Regards, J1M. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

linux Flash Player 9.0.124 plays video with very low frame rates
Mandriva 2008.0 i586
Linux version: 2.6.22.18-desktop-1mdv
processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
video card: GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB
video card driver: nvidia 169.12
Someone else experiences no problems with this configuration:
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=465548 :
youtube videos are working fine here with 9.0.124 and worked fine with 9.0.115 also. I have a P4 3100 proc., 512 RAM, and FX5200 as my video card. Not much of a configuration.
I installed manually the flash player, using the .tar.gz from Adobe, as user, in .mozilla in the home directory. I'm using firefox as default browser but just tested konqueror before posting. same pretty smooth and good video playback, with KDE 3.5.9
No problems with 2008.0 and now with spring.
This is my kernel and proprietary drivers installed from drak3d, kernel 2.6.24.4
Lies the problem with the processor (bad AMD)? Video Card (bad Geforce 8800 GTS)?
