Just tried playing some of the new BBC HD streams on iPlayer in Safari (Version 3.2.1 (5525.27.1)) with Latest OS X 10.5.6 and am having some problems.
In the past I have always found Flash player works better in general on Windows machines, but it has never been as issue for me as I have a fairly powerful MBP (2.53 ghz early 2008 model).

This is the stream (There is only about 10 HD shows atm). Weird thing is this clip plays OK in Firefox making me think it is a browser/memory/overhead issue of sorts.
I came across a similar problem with 720P Youtube stuff a few months ago, but found updating to latest Flash Player (Check and update here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) Jerky on OS X (Firefox and Safari) until I applied version 10,0,22,87
Now I find the same problem with the BBC HD files I stream. (Even though I have the latest player version).
My Mac is up to date, my Internet lets me sustain speeds of 1.7MB a sec so bandwidth/throttling/limits etc are not an issue.
Can someone test please with various macs and let me know if they get similar problems?

This is also a good test file, Jerks for me only very slightly in firefox, moreso in Safari.
I am finding it hard to believe Flash Video is streaming content at a bitrate too high for my computer to decode in real time, so am thinking some sort of OS X issue tbh.
Please do not reply to this thread unless you have access to a Mac, have latest Flash Player version, Latest OS version etc and are able to test using my links.
