The feature is nice but once a page gets populated with too many videos the performance starts getting sloppy.

Performance of the individuals PC?


You have a low end computer?


Buy more ram and upgrade your videocard, keep your motherboard, videocard, soundcard drivers updated.








I tested and populated a page from another vBulletin board:


Code:
[youtube]ZOWtHuQ4a-U[/youtube] [youtube]zAprzX2O6Zs[/youtube][youtube]qArzSL0ZdCU[/youtube]

[youtube]8wKdSq9zj2E[/youtube][youtube]gmJc-tweqYM[/youtube][youtube]SMwfM83XGF0[/youtube]

[youtube]njdS9clpOZM[/youtube][youtube]mGbhKQlUhLo[/youtube][youtube]V27CgobKJHw[/youtube]






I played all of it (who would do this?) all mixed sounds.






All played the videos and came out smooth.

Hi Mr. Vanos

Not an individual PC issue (p4 3.6ghz with 3gb of DDR on a DS3 line). More like Youtube trying to load all videos at the same time and bogs it down when you scroll through the page. I could actually care less about lagging PCs but not everyone has an up to date PC.

The videos don't start loading until you click the Play button, I thought.

The video will only start to load and play when you hit the play button.


It will not start running once you click on the thread.

That is true however just the image being there miltiple times on one page affects the scrolling performance.

Vinh, I'll PM you on where you can see it as an example.

I've been scrolling up and down of this page and it's phpBB.










Nothing is affected, scrolling is the same.


What scrolling performance?

The one I'm talking about is also on phpBB. I guess it affects some people and not others. There's about 30-40 videos on the page that I'm referring to.

AsianML, confirmed he doesn't have the problem so I'm trying to narrow down what the problem is because some users see it some don't.

For what it's worth, scrolling through this page is hell.

And I don't have a weak system either... it's a MacbookPro 2.16ghz with 2gb ram.

No worries, I tried it on a few other systems and browsers as well.
I've got a dual athlon 1800 MP and a dual opteron system where it lags as well.

Flash is the devil.

My home PC is an AMD 4200 X2 with 2gb of DDR and it lags as well. I wonder what gives?

Hmmm......

Increase the Screen Refresh Rate of monitor to 120 Hertz
















It's flat panel monitors with slow response time.





Response Time


Definition: Response time is a term associated with LCD monitors and televisions. According to online encyclopedia Wikipedia, "it translates to the amount of time it takes for a liquid crystal cell to go from active (black) to inactive (white) and back to active (black) again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms)."
Response time is a critical element to consider when buying a LCD TV because it directly impacts the screens ability to clearly portray moving images and well-defined edges. However, it is not the only thing that makes or breaks a LCD TV. Other factors like picture improvement technology, progressive scan and resolution also affect overall picture quality.

Side Effects of Slow Response Times

Ghosting would be a product of a slow response time, which is where images stay on screen longer than intended. Or, when watching a baseball game on a LCD screen with a slow response time the ball would appear to have a comet-like tail when it moves across the screen.

Common Response Times

In the TV market, common response times are 8ms, 16ms, 20ms and beyond. On this scale, 8ms would be the best response time. While many LCD screens under 26" are rarely affected by slow response times, screens 30" and larger are not as fortunate. In my opinion, flat panel LCD screens larger than 30" have a difficult time displaying moving images with clarity.Therefore, I would be wary of anything larger than 30" with a response time above 16ms.

Now that I think of it, yes all of the PC's I've tested have LCD monitors and the same ones for the most part (Dell 2001FP's).

My parents still have a CRT so I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info.

LOL.. what? No.
It has nothing to do with the response time.

I have a 22" NEC 1250+ CRT @ 1920x1440 at 85hz and it lags, that's the dual AMD 1800+ MP system I was talking about.

LCD's don't flicker, it's not a problem of the computers we're on. It's just flash is very resource intensive.

Good point for the CRT refresh rate increase though, lots of people leave theirs at 60hz and then it can cause headaches.

and your video card is? memory of card?


1920x1440 at 85hz? your pushing it, thats lag galore




if Nvidia 1024x768 32 bit is the best performance for those cards



You're using Mac though if Windows:


Lets see your Direct X Diagnostics




In Desktop Start--> Run --> type DXDIAG --> Click OK


save all information to desktop then copy and paste results here.






Window XP = I may help
Nvidia = I may help



Mac= No
ATI=No

What?!
It seems as if you might not know what you're talking about.

My dual Athlon system has a Geforce FX5900XT. Trust me, at that resolution it's just getting started.
My dual Opteron system has a SLI configuration of 8800's. It's even more powerful than my Athlon system.
My Mac has the integrated ATi X1600 (or whatever it is), it's also quite powerful.

if Nvidia 1024x768 32 bit is the best performance for those cards
Absolutley incorrect, perhaps 20 years ago (um, not nvidia then, probably 3DFX, Diamond, or S3... who nows), but today if you go out and buy a new computer, most likely it'll have a 17" LCD and the default resolution on those will be 1280x1024. Easily powered by even an integrated Intel chipset.

Every LCD has a "native" resolution that it runs at, that means things will look most sharp, and most clear at that resolution. That's why laptops usually have only one good resolution unless you're outputting to a TV or a second display.

You can't use MacOSX through Windows, you can do the other way around though.

I personally am opposed to embedding Youtube links because it's offsite stuff. Youtube takes down videos all the time. Also I'm opposed to it because it slows down my computer when I load the pages.

I can bring it up in the moderator forum though if more folks are interested.

I've got an LCD monitor and the computer is an HP a1330n. So it's not the best of the best. Certainly not as good as what you guys have. So why do I not have the problem?

Could be a multitude of factors.

Flash isn't even embedded on this thread, just images. It could be that what you're confusing it with...

I have flashblock on

did you test 1024x768 vs. 1920x1440 performance?

uhh.....no dxdiag results? i'll keep guessing, you must be knowing what you're doing, i'm not the one lagging

and your power supply is?




mine....



http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=28550


of course, you'll say my power supply is 300,000,000,000,000 watt output




clean/vacuum all the fans, heatsink inside you PC





no more hardware talk for me, it's giving me a headache


my computer is running stable to my satisfaction


PC is my hobby, not my life

LOL! Bing, if I have to run 1024x768 resolution to watch embedded videos I will pass.

Nice power supply. It's the same one I have in my system.
