[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1102832, member: 140470"] You guys didn't say which MacBook Pro model you have. If you have the latest 15" MBP with the dual graphics cards it has the auto switching feature that doesn't always pick the right graphics card for the job. The integrated Intel graphics isn't that great. When I use my old PowerBook it can hardly stream anything. The processor, graphics card, or both is too slow to handle the streaming video which isn't a problem for my current 2009 MBP. It's the same internet connection so it comes down to the performance of the computers. Flash is a resource hog on the Mac platform so you need a pretty decent performing Mac to run it well. If you have the newer 15" MBP then try switching full time to the faster 330M card and see if that solves your problem. If you don't have latest 15" MBP then I don't know what is causing your problem since it sounds like you guys didn't change anything major on your computer recently. [/QUOTE]
