There's a wmode u can add to speed up iplayer (wmode=gpu) by making flash write directly to the gpu screen buffer instead of the screen buffer, or a canvas inside the broqwser (wmode=transparent) unfortunately all the tests I did showed gpu wmode isn't quite ready for production (a bit flaky on some browsers)
If you full screen the flash player you'll see it do graphics card allecration in some browser, were some browsers is probably the most interesting point, Different browsers slightly different implementation :) Ant On 10/01/2011 14:00, "Christopher Woods" <chris...@infinitus.co.uk> wrote: >> It might not handle Main profile maybe?
