    Adobe just released Flash Player 10.0-beta1 and I gave it a whirl. The new release supports GPU blitting/compositing so it helps video decoding a fair bit. I found the Windows/Linux version faster, but the Mac version slower to decode video.

    Vimeo's 24p videos are easier to decode now, and 30p videos are twice faster than before. The 30p videos are still NOT smooth on my PC (a lot of dropped frames), but they are definitely faster to decode than before and more watchable.

    The only problem I got now is with your new SWF player, the one that you started using 20 days ago or so. Each time I open a new tab, or a menu goes on top of the video, or switch from windowed to fullscreen, or when I click to open the channels menu to add it to a channel, the audio stutters for a bit. The previous SWF player did not do that, so I am sure it's this new SWF player to blame. Besides, with the speed increase of Flash10 I should be back to my previous SWF player status, but this is not the case: there's audio stutter when you do something else beside watching and not moving the mouse, so please optimize your SWF player a bit more, it seems to be consuming more resources than the previous one.

    WARNING: This is a beta, it still has bugs. Use it at your own risk.

    We're aware of the tab-switching SWF stutter bug and are working on it.

    I'd advise against installing this however, since we've received reports that it breaks our uploader (again).
