Hulu full screen with high res on a x200

#1 Post by mbaha » Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:44 am

Hi all,
I just got an x200 and I'm a bit disappointed with hulu full screen performance. If you have x200 would you mind letting me know if you are having any issues watching Hulu full screen in high resolution
thanks

I don't have an X200, but I'd be willing to bet it's not so much an issue with your machine as it is with Flash. Flash is so poorly-optimized it's almost comical.

Concur with Rob. There are a lot of complaints about Hulu and Flash -- Poor FS performance on many types of hardware. You might Google on hulu fullscreen or similar.

The lastest Flash is not any better. Some folks think if you use Firefox, it works better for this. Also, the Pop Out option works better than FS.

Enjoy the show,

U serious :o

Watching high-res online videos in some crappy player is always a pita, regardless of hardware.

He is from the Netherlands, he probably has 0 idea what Hulu is.

Anyway, it's probably that Intel's video card driver doesn't quite support flash video acceleration.
