Morning all

I recently overclocked my phone to 1Ghz, primarily to try and improve video playback quality, however its had virtually no effect.

When watching video's on sites like BBC Iplayer and Youtube I get a lot of stuttering on the video, almost like the phone can't keep up with the data it's receiving.

Even when the video is fully buffered and downloaded it continues to stutter and freeze.

Appreciate Flash 10 is never coming, but is there another way to improve video viewing quality?

The issue occurs whether I'm in a wifi zone or dependant on data streaming on my mobile network.

Thanks for all help in advance.

As far as I'm concerned, Flash 10 is a bit of a kludge at the moment.

I'm having all sorts of issues when viewing Youtube and other Flash intensive sites. Youtube only plays about 70% of the video and doesn't download the thumbnails for the videos half the time. Facebook has been a pain to use since the update, and that's just 2 sites on my PC.

As for the N900, I have the same issues as you over 3G and Wi-Fi.
If I download a 720p mp4 video via Firefox PC and copy it over to the N900, it plays like a charm.

I watch Youtube through media-box with the Youtube plugin. That way no Flash is needed.

I see Youtube flawlessly. Things I have done:

* OC to O900
* swappiness to 10 (Google)
* Always make the video screen wide (the button with 2 arrows) or full screen. Default stutters.

Mine is just fine. Might choke for a half second when first starting, but after that it's smooth. Also, it FLIES after download is done.

I noticed slow links slow it down unreasonably. Try over broadband. I have a 50 MBPs link, and it is as good as on-disk video.

I am not talking about high quality here.
