      Do you have Opera Turbo enabled? Open the Opera menu and look near the bottom of the menu. Is there a check mark next to Opera Turbo?

          Flash or html5? Html5 videos were looking strange here, i emptied the cache and it seems better now.

                When I right click it says "about adobe flash player 16

                So I assume I am using flash player - what do I do? is there something else in settings?

                ?????

                    Make sure your flash player version ends with 305, which is the latest one. Also check if you are using ppapi flash (you can verify it at opera:plugins).

                    Also try empty the cache and also your OS %temp% folder.

                        It's a new plugin architecture. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ using Opera and download it. Don't forget to uncheck the "optional offer".

                          Thanks Leo got new flash player - seemed to be the same one? As it mentioned Opera Downloaded it and installed it

                          Seems to be less video stutter pauses but still some and the voice does not sync?

                          Is that the best available?

                            You said you only have the npapi one and Opera should download the ppapi version.

                            Seems to be less video stutter pauses but still some and the voice does not sync?

                            I've been noticed some issues with flash player recently. Don't know if it's a plugin issue, an Opera issue or what.

                            Is that the best available?

                            Don't know if the best but it's basically the only one as support for npapi is being dropped by Chromium.

                                Cleared the cache and tried again on www.ted.com still delay and speach out of sync with the picture

                                Went on site and downloaded from the area where it said Opera - installed - no difference

                                How can I see whats going on and what flash I am using?

                                      It's the ppapi/pepper one? It looks better if you use the html5 player?

                                          Afaik both npapi and ppapi are in the same version number, or very close at least.

                                          You should be able to get the ppapi version at https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

                                          HTML5 can Youtube use this? if so and its better how do I set it up - looked in youtube and cant find anything?

                                          You need to enable the html5 player at https://www.youtube.com/html5

                                          Note that some videos may not be played in the html5 player.

                                            Adobe currently maintains a NPAPI version of flash and a PPAPI version. They both have the same version number but have to be installed separately. https://forums.opera.com/post/67845 already explains what you have to do to install the right one.

                                            As for HTML5, yes, YouTube has an HTML5 version of the site but you have to change a setting on their site to enable it. I don't know it off the top of my head but its easy enough to google.
