Flash 10.1 RC for Netbooks ?

[fergiet]

Noticed that Flash 10.1 RC is now available for download.

It claims to help lower powered pc and Netbooks run Flash video more smoothly. Has anyone tried it yet ? If so, can you post the results ?

HI,

Just installed it on N220, before youtube HD video wasn't smooth, now it is much better, actually fine unless you go into full screen mode, where its a little jerking

My experience is the same on my N135 with win7. I use it for a over a week now in combination with the firefox browser. First the beta and now the RC1 release.

Hej,

I cannot confirm that. On my n110 the performance is worse, so I straight uninstalled it. I still do not understand how someone can code such a resource eating application. And I do not understand why everyone uses it. Adobe must pay a lot to make e.g. big TV stations using this s**t.

It takes permanently between 55% and 65% in window mode and 80+ in fullscreen (10), 10.1rc takes 60+ in window mode and 95+ in fullscreen, it is lagging a lot.

Hope they get it straight someday or someone else comes up with another solution (MS maybe).

@snipe
MS have their solution, it's Silverlight, however the big battle going on at the moment is Apple vs Flash on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, where Apple is causing many of the TV stations to start implementing HTML5 (not that this is the biggest news at the moment regarding this).

You can try out the HTML5 beta on Youtube if you want from here though you will need a compatible browser.

I agree with you flash is very resource hungry. I also am no fan of it, but the update did work for me.
What browser did you use ?
Maybe HTML 5 will be improving things. EDIT: Alfihar beat me
