I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091106 Shiretoko/3.5.5
The flash plugin shows up as Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42 underneath Plugins in Firefox

nvidia driver version: 190.42
direct rendering: Yes

Any other information that you might need to help me let me know.
What's happening is when I goto youtube and watch a video it will play fine. (It happens on all videos using the flash player)
I can open it up in fullscreen and play the video fine UNTIL I move my mouse. When I move my mouse the video becomes extremely choppy and sometimes stops playback all together for 5-10 seconds until I stop moving my mouse. This is annoying because when I want to exit fullscreen I sometimes use the mouse to click on the X in the bottom right hand corner and it ends up lagging firefox and I'm sometimes unable to exit unless I use "Alt+Tab" and it will minimize the firefox window and the screen will become garbled for about 30 seconds then it will return to normal.
Here's a video of it happening on my setup:

I've been having issues with this problem ever since I installed Arch about 3 days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Blame Flashplugin.

I switched to mplayer for watching fullscreen youtube a long time ago. Better quality, less choppyness, less cpu usage.
Edit: there is some greasemonkey scripts to embedd mplayer/vlc for youtube watching, so you can browse seamlessly like with the flash player.

I was thinking about trying this until I remembered I mostly use youtube for watching a set of videos using their "quicklist". It has an autoplay function that allows you to play a playlist of their videos. Will the mplayer / greasemonkey script retain that functionality?

same here. I can verify the fullscreen bug too, but as someone already pointed out, it's flash's fault. I loved the mplayer/greasemonkey plugin, but as far as I can tell it doesnt do teh quicklist/playlist auto play, and for some reason which i never bothered figuring out, it took forever to load videos (might have something to do with my blocking a lot of google-centric second party dns relayers, but that's another story). youtube on flash plugin, on the other hand, loads fairly quickly, so for now I continue using flash on youtube.

I've had this too but not quite like this. I found a couple of things that can help that I've posted here if you use nvidia and KDE.

Still having this problem. Am I the only one?
By the way I'm using a USB Razer Salmosa mouse if that helps at all.

I'm pretty sure everyone has this problem.
You will also notice that it's only youtube. Sites like dailymotion.com are much, MUCH better.

Try switching the command to launch firefox from:
firefox
to
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox

That didn't do much.

By the way, this was first reported here in 2008: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=59147&p=4

Does Minitube support that?

try using the ESC key to exit fullscreen instead of the mouse

It is something to do with my mouse polling. I lowered the DPI to 800 the lowest and my USB report rate to 125hz and noticed significantly less issues with frame tearing / unresponsiveness. I don't know if this is an evdev issue or an issue with flash, all I know is that it's not a configuration issue that was caused by me. Thanks for everyone's input. I'll wait longer and eventually something might get fixed.

I have this issue only with 64bit flash, 32bit is fine. Anyone else have this experience?
