Flash Player Problems Mac OS X That Supports

According to Mac Rumors, Adobe has released a preview release of the 10.1 Flash Player for Mac OS X that supports H.264 video hardware decoding on Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Hardware video decoding allows Flash Player to offload H.264 video decoding tasks from the CPU to deliver smooth, high quality video with minimal overhead, improving video playback performance, reducing system resource utilization, and extending battery life.

To use the new version of Flash Player, a.k.a Gala requires one of the following graphics card hardware: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 320M, the or GeForce GT 330M.

The types of Mac hardware supported right now: MacBooks shipped after January 21st, 2009 Mac Minis shipped after March 3rd, 2009 MacBook Pros shipped after October 14th, 2008 iMacs which shipped after the first quarter of 2009 There are limitations right now for this beta: Some resolutions are not supported.

Resolutions smaller than 480 320 pixels are not accelerated on NVIDIA GeForce 9400M based Macs.

On NVidia GeForce 320M and GeForce GT 330M the threshold can be a bit higher.

Remember that using the GPU for video decoding does not always result in overall power savings.

This is something you can only decide on based on the exact type of hardware combination and the content you are trying to play.

Playing video has a fixed baseline cost in the GPU for instance which is not the case when you decode on a CPU.

If you have more than 2 videos open at the time the 3rd one will fall back to software decoding.

This is even the case when a video is on a hidden tab (This is another reason that hardware decoding is reserved for high resolutions).

In the current release of Mac OS X 10.6.3 hardware accelerated decoding will sometimes stop to function until you restart Safari.

But if you can reproduce this consistently with a specific URL please let us know.
