Does anyone else experience a significant drop in framerate when you embiggen or fullscreen videos? Plays incredibly smoothly at the smaller size but the moment i enlarge it struuuugles like a mofo.
Framerate hitching on embiggened and fullscreen videos
I'm having the same issue as well with Google Chrome version 25.0.1364.152m on a Windows 7 PC, which is odd because I was able to watch videos with no problems on Saturday, 3/2. The video plays smoothly when its on the smaller, default size that is on the page, but as soon as I go fullscreen, its slows down considerably.
I'm using Google Chrome Version 25.0.1364.97m on Win7.
The opening of the SimCity Quick Look makes for an excellent comparison. Smooth as when small, choppy and gif-like when full-screened. Watching vids on my HDTV is unbearable because of this.
I'm having this issue in Chrome Version 25.0.1364.97 m as well. It's fine with Embiggen mode on, but as soon as I go fullscreen the FPS drops significantly. In Embiggen mode I get a steady 30fps (I usually have FRAPS running by default on my PC) and when I go fullscreen it drops to around 15-20, which is choppy and lame. I don't get the same problem when I go fullscreen on Youtube, for example, so there must be some issue with the browser and/or the player.
I had this problem with chrome version Version 25.0.1364.97 m. I updated chrome to version 25.0.1364.160 m and the full screen videos seem to work fine with no frame rate problems. Press the "customize and control" button in the top right of the browser, then go to "About Google Chrome", and it will auto-update.

I just wanted to report this has fixed the issue for me as well.
I'm having issues with Full Screen/Windowed play back and it seems to only have occurred in the last week.
I've ruled out my Macbook as it also happens on my other Win7 Laptop, I'm also on a 70MBPS (Wireless N 5GHZ and 2.4GHZ) internet connection and other HD content streams fine.
Chrome, Firefox and IE are all having playback issues. All the latest versions.
Is this a GB issue or a update to a browser/plugin that has caused this issue that just doesn't seem to effect any other site?

Yeah 25.0.1364.97 m seems to have had a bug in there. Fixed.
