Anyone notice this: Odd behaviour @ 1080P Flash, latest version -
I've been in trial mode here for a few weeks tinkering with some of the later notebook & netbook releases with HDMI ports etc, and with two desktops, one with and older GeForce 8400 GS card, DVI to a nice 23" blu-ray spec monitor, the other with Radeon 6350 Sapphire low profile card.
I had been puzzled by some reports posted here and there about stuttering 1080P playback in the newer Aspire One 522 and/or 722 Netbooks which have the C50/C60 APU's and non-dedicated-vram Radeon 6xxx GPU's. I personally cleaned one of these up [a 722 c50 model], outfitted with the later CCC and drivers, stopped the background noise etc and got pretty decent 1080P playback output across HDMI to a 46" Bravia display. not bad. So I wondered at why some were having difficulty..
so today I took my desktops for another trial spin.
two high framerate 1080P movie Trailers I use because they are really dense & demanding are from the Ironman2 release, and from Avatar [actually a couple of pics each.] I wanted to compare subjective experience on my "known good" desktop vs. the netbooks. What surprised me was to see some stuttering and breakup on the desktop platform that I had not experienced anytime previously. I turned off everything i could that might be interfering [win7] and did some experimenting.
What's going on is this: If you start the vid and let it buffer a bit first, then switch it to Fullscreen 1080P while it is running, I'll get stuttering. But if I then run the slider back to the beginning again, it runs smoothly. I've never seen that before and can't come up with a rational reason. Anyone know why this would be? In other words, after the clip/file is fully buffered up, if its played from the beginning its ok, but from somewhere in the midst, its not smooth.
? clues?
