Some internet video players give you a hint saying to press Esc to exit full screen. I think that the video players that do this use a Mp4 video formats, my problem is that the video goes back and forth between the next and previous frame of the video. he video advances but it has to jump some frames to catch up after going back and forth the sound doesn't jump or gets choppy the sound works fine its just the video. I updated Firefox, Java, and Flash Player but it dint help I works smoothly on Google Chrome.

Thanks for all the help and sorry it took me so long to reply but I kind scared to mess with code so I'm just going to use Chrome for that kind of video but Fire Fox will be my default for every thing else. Maybe Safari can run it I'll have to read their privacy agreement.Anyway Thank You for Every thing and I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.

Hi Eric1191, nope never a waste of time. Is the VLC player on version 2.1.5 ?

Also Chrome has a built in player, while Firefox is working on this. However I also understand that it is only experienced with MP4s.

Do you have any Ad block software installed or have more than one plugin that might be conflicting? Please also see these troubleshooting steps if you decide to use Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues#w_...
