I am having major choppy flash video playback issues with Ubuntu 11.04. The issue only occurs while playing flash video. It works fine in regular video playback (divx/xvid).
I have and have tried the following:
- ATI Radeon 4200 (integrated graphics)
- Using Latest ATI/AMD Proprietary Driver FGLRX
- Ran Update Manager
- AMD X4 630 CPU
- Played flash video in 360 quality
- Latest version of 64-bit flash beta installed
- Flash-Aid installed on Firefox
- Tried in both Firefox and Chrome, but still laggy.
- Attempted to make a new user account, and tried it on there, but still doesn't work.
TIA!

Try disabling hardware acceleration in flash. Worked for some YouTube videos for me on my ATI HD3000 series graphics card. HTML5 is the way to go though
