Solved Video lag when played in fullscreen and moving mouse around the screen

Darwiny · Feb 4, 2011

Hi Guys.... I need some help here. I'm currently having problem playing videos from youtube and other forms of video.

For example when i play a clip from youtube and enlarge it to fullscreen, It'll lag throughout. When i start moving my mouse around the clip, It lags badly. I've updated flashplayer / java and done all scannings but nothing helps.... Anyone know what's the issue?

Currently running on

AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 Processor 2.9Ghz
Ram: 4.00Gb
System type: 64-bit Operating system

Graphic card would be ATI Radeon HD Series 5700.

Help appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Michell,

Thanks for replying and assisting me.

My download speed is 7.23 Mb/s
My upload speed is 1.10 Mb/s

Download speed is not too bad but you might have problems with full screen HD clips. Do the videos play OK in the smaller screen version?
You should be able to choose 380px on most You Tube clips. If they play OK at the smaller size then it is usually download speed. If none play OK the you might consider installing the Shark codecs from here;

Sorry spelled your name wrongly Mitchell.

The problem which I'm currently having now is whatever video i play in fullscreen be it youtube or downloaded files, it lags. Even when i chose a lower 380px.... It's just different from how it used to be like....Videos which I'm trying to load is not in HD mode.... Any idea what's going wrong?

The codec doesn't help.... even low quality clips which i have when played in fullscreen, it lags alot....

But do they play OK when not in full screen?

Darwiny · Feb 6, 2011

They do play ok when not in fullscreen.

But as for youtube, For example when i play a clip and it's not in fullscreen, when i start typing in the seach column while video is playing it'll lag

Well from what you have said I'm going to stick my neck out and say it is a download speed problem. Have you tried this at different times of the day just to see if things improve at more"quiet" times. Try a speed test and immediately run a Video Clip. Then perhaps in the very early morning try that again and see if there is an appreciable difference in the speed test!

Ummm.... It's not just for internet clips.... even for dl-ed clips and other cd shows.... it happens as well.

I was going through the forum and came across this http://www.sevenforums.com/music-pi...or-video-playback-fullscreen-all-players.html

Not sure what seems to be the problem....

mitchell65 · Feb 6, 2011

Trouble with the link to the previous post the OP didn't come back so we don't know if he solved the problem. I'm clutching at straws a bit now but have you tried changing the resolution of your monitor?

Darwiny · Feb 6, 2011

I'm currently using 1920 x 1080 for my 23inch monitor.

I tried 800 x 600 resolution and played the clip. To my surprise there's no lag when moving my mouse around the fullscreen.

hmm seems like it's happening to my 1920 x 1080 resolution...

mitchell65 · Feb 6, 2011

Try some more resolutions, sometimes there is some firmware updates for monitors. Try the manufacturer's website for this!

Darwiny · Feb 6, 2011

Hey Mitchell i just wanna thank you again for your prompt assistance.

I tried changing resolution and download monitor driver but it still doesn't help

it only runs smoothly on 800 x 600 but it makes my screen looks very weird due to the size of the monitor....

mitchell65 · Feb 6, 2011

Have you looked at the firmware situation for your monitor. Might be worth checking to see if your graphics card is man enough for the monitor. You only give the make of it in your specs not the model. Again check this with your monitor manufacturer. What is the make and model of your monitor BTW?

Darwiny · Feb 6, 2011

I didn't have this problem previously. It only happened recently.
I'm currently using Samsung monitor. P2370HD.

mitchell65 · Feb 6, 2011

How do you connect the monitor to your PC?

Darwiny · Feb 6, 2011

Blue plug to PC-IN and orange plug to HDMI / PC / DVI

mitchell65 · Feb 6, 2011

So are you using the phono sockets ringed in red on the attached screenshot? You see the socket ringed in yellow, that I believe is a USB connection where you can use a memory stick to upgrade your firmware! Have you got an HDMI outlet on your PC as that will go into the socket ringed in blue. That's your best option!

Darwiny · Feb 7, 2011

OMG MITCHELL! Surprisingly i did not do anything to my computer and everything went back to normal! What could be the problem?! THANKS!!!! You've been a great help and sorry to take up so much of your time to help me!

mitchell65 · Feb 7, 2011

I'm going to guess and say that after my screenshot you had a look at your connections. If you touched them I bet one was a tad loose!
Anyway problem solved, well done. We live to fight another day
