[QUOTE="monthen, post: 1277839, member: 210370"] Hello folks I did a few searches for this issue before starting a new thread; please accept my apologies if I've missed a thread which already dealt with it. In the last few weeks I have noticed that my Macbook plays back online video with fairly severe jerkiness, which it didn't use to do. Videos will often hang for several seconds, with the audio stuck on repeat. This happens on youtube and other flash-based sites, but also with Quicktime trailers on the apple website, so I assume it's not a flash issue (though I may well be wrong!) I don't seem to have any issues with video stored on my HDD, and the machine otherwise runs very well. I'm using an early (2006) Macbook - 1.83Ghz with OSX 10.6.8 and 2Gb of RAM. My 250Gb HDD is partitioned into a 40Gb OS drive with programs etc, of which there's around 11Gb free, and a 200Gb data drive, with around 50Gb free space. I believe I have the most recent version of Flash. I'm at a loss to explain this. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks in advance, and again, my apologies if this has already been answered and I missed it. Andy [/QUOTE]
