[SOLVED] Choppy video playback - Intel GMA HD

Hello.  I am experiencing choppy 720p/1080p video playback on my laptop (Core i3 w/ Intel GMA HD) on full-screen flash videos (on sites like youtube.)

My setup:
- I am using xf86-video-intel-git
- flashplugin x86_64 (multilib)
- nothing added to xorg.conf
- 'codecs' and 'chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree-bin' from AUR
- stock kernel (i've also tried it on my 2.6.35.7 with CK patchset kernel... no difference)

Any ideas off the top of anyones mind?

Flash is crap. Yes, that's all there is to it. Download the videos and watch them in a media player.

There's one thing you can try that might help, but I wouldn't count on it - create the file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and put this in it:

OverrideGPUValidation=true

used this with an Intel GMA 4500 chip in my Archbang 64 Bit install, and it worked perfectly ... the 64Bit flashplayer in the repos is pretty outdated due to the fact that Adobe wasn't maintaining it for a long time.

Hey guys,

In case you're still tracking this thread be aware that using the 64 bit flash pre-release player is risky at the moment as it does not appear to have been patched to cover the adobe security bulletin (APSB10-26).
So, if appropriately paranoid, we users of the Intel HDA cards are stuck with choppy full screen flash until Adobe updates the package.
