slow flash video

[Masi_K]

Hi, i'm just wondering is it possible to boost flash video on t20 ? Nowadays flash is at allmost every web page, so those pages are un usable slow. Bad driver etc ? Or is it just t20 to being too slow ? Youtube works quite okay.(not fullscreen).For a example, this http://www.bbc.co.uk/lifeonmars/ site is way too slow to use.

If you can figure out a way to save the video, you can open it with another player (any player's faster than flash...). Actually it looks like your link as a "non-flash version" with Windows Media video.

The things that speed it up for me was setting the color back to 16 bit, you will lose a little quality but you will only notice it in illustrations with color gradients. The other thing what speeded up browsing was downloading google chrome, but get the dev-version because the normal version hangs all the time with flash.

16bit colors speeds up slightly. Main problem still exists.

@ android2000, Is it slow only while loading of when it is playing?

I just disabled hardware acceleration, this makes it possible to view full screen video at 32bit color depth and in youtube at high quality.

This with a T22@900MHz and 512MB

Apologies if this is committing thread necrophilia...

Just given this a try in my T20 and it seems to play youtube videos better than ever in Chrome. Full screen left a lot to be desired but I'll work on it So thanks a lot for everyone's advice!
