Issues like these require lots of details. https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/1741fy0/comment/k495g9g/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

@burnout426 - Thanks for your help, but I hope you won't be offended if I say I don't have the time or interest to jump through all these hoops. The problem started a week or so ago and I assume something changed in Opera to cause it. Something as simple as playing video should just happen and without the need to make experimental adjustments. My solution is to switch to Chrome, where there are no problems with video.

@burnout426 Thanks, disabling the "Out-of-process SW H.264 decoding" flag helped me
I thought before that that maybe something in the flags need to change, but was too lazy to climb in the settings.

@burnout426 Perfect, problem temporary "solved". Hopefully it will be fixed generally. Thanks a lot.

@bobbydzik Thank you. This solved the problem, but why it isn't the default setting I have no idea.

@leocg Which at least further shows that the system properties also play a role: on my other laptop, with the same browser version, the websites also work without any problems.
On my older laptop, the recommended change in the flags was needed so that videos could run without stuttering.

@bobbydzik thanks. I was having the same problem after updating yesterday. Disabling that helped.

I tested Edge, Firefox, the only thing that stutters videos is this new version of Opera. Maybe it's time to switch browsers.

Just use the fix and it's fine.

So, Opera updated yesterday and this began. For me, Tubi is what I generally watch and it became choppy. I am unsure if Opera enabled this with the upate or they changed something about the codec but this change did work for me as well.

Thanks to you smart people who understand this stuff!!!
