Problems with flash video

Hi,
Do you have problems to play flash video in the internet browser on your android phone ?
Videos on my Desire aren't fluid ans it's pratically impossible to watch them.
Thank you.
 
Give us an example of a site that doesnt work right so we can try it on our phones. And fyi, flash is very cpu intensive. The cpu's on phones right now can barely process the videos properly.
 
Almost lots of videos on internet.
For example, videos streaming on TV Channels sites.
But it means that none of phones can play video flash correctly ??
 
Hi everyone; I am new hear and found this forum as I was searching for this problem. Here is the url for the wildlife camera on ESPN I am trying to view, any help is apprecaited.
Wildlife Camera 1 - ESPN

The web page comes up but all I get in the video screen is a little blue box.
Edit: I have a Samsung SCH-R880

Thanks
Ron
 
I'm interested in this question, too, after being an exclusive iOS user for several years. Are we stuck with generally choppy video on Android devices until the hardware advances in the next couple of years? There are sites like youku.com (Chinese) that lots of people typically use to watch TV shows and movies, but it's almost unwatchable on my Android device because of how choppy it is.
 
There are two things to be questioned:
- is the website streaming a flash video?
- is your Android phone capable of playing it?

For example, this site is in Flash, so I can browse and stream videos to my HTC Desire: Sony Pictures - Previews & Clips - Movies
Other websites many use other streaming methods, like windows media.

However, to do that you need to have a proper Android phone that supports Full Flash (for example, you HTC Wildfire doesn't support it), and you must have at least Android v2.2 on your phone.
