Thanks for the article… after my latest flash update came through, all my YouTube videos (only youtube too) were split screen top to bottom with a big yellow divider between the two. After disabling hardware acceleration it fixed it though so thanks for the nice article, it helped alot !!

Disabling the hardware acceleration worked for me but I still don’t think I should have had to do that. It happened on every browser that was not IE based. Glad for this fix.

Thanks, changing the flash settings to uncheck enable hardware acceleration worked to get rid of the digital scramble I was experiencing on my new laptop Windows 7 with videos that worked fine on my old laptop in XP.

Andre,

Seamonkey has the same problem in Linux Slackware – so perhaps we should be looking at why Adobe/Youtube/Google aren’t playing nice with each other instead of bashing a product that doesn’t appear to be part of the problem?

How one can recommend Internet Explorer (of all the available browsers) to test out if another browser has broken Videoplayback is beyond me. I’d even consider recommending Safari before I recommend IE no matter what the purpose.

Otherwise solid article.

Yes. What I did was set to ‘always deny’ in global security settings, and set to unlimited both ‘storage’ tabs. Restart. That did the trick.

Charlie I tried changing those settings but they did not have any effect for the problems that I was experiencing. Did they help solve the problem for you?

I find playing with this settings: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html is a lot better

It’s a great entry, because this problem has lasted already for a while and I think it should be already taken seriously by companies involved. I’m trying with Flash Player 10.1, and testing if the problem corrects or improves.

Again, great post, it’s a capital problem
