I've got a problem with flash videos where they stop for about a second before continuing - the video stops, but the audio continues. So if you had your eyes closed, you would be none the wiser until you opened them again.

I first noticed it on iPlayer, then Youtube and 4oD. Sometimes it'll stop and start 5-6 times in one minute, other times it'll play quite happily and suddenly stop.

I use Firefox and have tried reinstalling it with no add-ons or anything changed, just default. But I still have the same issue. I have also tried reinstalling Flash with no joy. I have done a clean reinstallation of my video drivers, also with no joy.

A quick search on Google reveals that I might not be the only Firefox user experiencign this issue: Flash player stutters for 1 second then continues normally, Flash videos (like youtube) do not play right / stuttering and so on.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I have an Asus Z97 Pro gamer motherboard with an i5 4570, 16gb DDR3 and a GTX 660.

I hope somebody can help and this is really frustrating!
 
I think its a problem with Firefox.

I recently changed from Chrome to Firefox and have been getting the stuttering or even worse shockwave crash on videos..

running the same in chrome does not yield the same problems.. although chrome seems to hog resources a lot more lately.
 
Well a new version of flash came out today, so I installed it and the stopping has mostly stopped. Watched an hour of iPlayer and it only stopped once for a second - I think I can live with that.
