Performance

I have a new compaq presario laptop (I asked SU for advice before I bought it :-) ). It has a nVidia GeForce 8200M video card. When I try to play a flash video full screen, it plays really choppy. This is a brand new computer and is well more powerful than my previous computer so I know it's not a matter of the full screen being too processor intensive to play, or a bandwidth problem. Even playing HD hulu videos full screen was fine on my previous laptop.

Any advice on how to get better performance here?

edit: World Of Warcraft is able to play at a great framerate, so this machine should definitely be able to handle a simple little flash video ;-)

Windows 7/Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT - TV is not recognized

I installed Windows 7 x64, and I installed my Geforce 9400 GT driver, and it didn't recognize the TV. So I removed the driver, and the TV worked. Then I installed again, and it didn't work again. Generic Windows 7 TV-out support isn't so good, so how can I fix it? >>> More

Recently VLC has been having issues displaying video in fullscreen mode. AFAIK, nothing has changed with the video card drivers and it's certainly the same version of VLC.
