<![CDATA[Video Lagging Old Problem - New Solution?]]>Just started using Opera (new download) - like the product. Ran into a problem with running a video, in which it works fine on Google Chrome, but lags on Opera.

I disabled all extensions, and hardware acceleration - no change. What I have is a video that constantly reproduces the problem. I am hoping that some of you can try running it on Google and Opera, and telling me if any diff in the two.

Here is the MSNBC link:

Google this Opera problem, and it's been going on for years in various formats. Hope we can find a solution with this video.

And it's a Norwegian company owned by Chineses.

After a couple of days, really liking this OPERA. Little things that you use to make the browser more productive.

Is Opera open source, or is this a Chinese company now?

Reset the setting to allow, and same problem after the 7 second mark (every time).

It's strange Chrome has no problem

Chrome uses ffmpeg for proprietary codecs. Opera doesn't and uses the Windows Media Foundation/APIs. That could explain the difference.

So it's something with their video format, as these ones are just click "Play" button.

Likely MSNBC won't do anything unless they get numerous complaints - can't see it being a problem specific to just me.

Looks like MSNBC did something to their video format, as I made sure flash is updated (reinstall) - Taking a guess, but buffering seems like a possibility.

Running Windows 7 on older Laptop. It's strange Chrome has no problem, and MS Explorer 11 is completely useless.

Youtube works fine as tested on this Cult video:

I'll try it on another CPU, and hope others with same problem chime in this thread - more answers, better chance of isolating the problem.

BTW, Twitter post videos work fine too.
