HTML5 youtube stutters
The video in the html5 player in youtube stutters. The audio doesn't though, just the video. Every few seconds it shows a couple frames from a half a second ago. It's been doing this the whole time, it never wasn't doing it.
What can I do?

Safe Mode will nix hardware acceleration and any extensions and themes that may be causing the issue.
check this:
- see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

- disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Great! You could try updating drivers as Fred suggested to see if that helps hardware acceleration, but I think that's it for now.

Well, it seems to have solved it but I need to test it out more. In a few days I will know if it solved it for sure, and then I will mark this
