AFP 11 bug - streaming video (webcam)

Hi,

I've updated flash player to the newest version (11), and I'm experiencing some problems with video broadcasting to websites like justin.tv or chatroulette.

The bug: when broadcasting a screen recording, or my real webcam sometimes it jumps back to earlier frame for about half a second. It's hard to explain so I made a little video:

I've created an example video with a timecode, and broadcasted it to a website, which uses adobe flash player 11:

(In the left you can see the original video, displayed in broadcasting software's preview window; and in the right, website previews my broadcast. The parts where bug appears are in slow motion, so you could see the timecode "jumping" to previous frame)

I wouldn't mind if this bug happened only in preview window, but the flash player broadcasts a buggy video, so the viewers also see this bug.

This bug did not happened in Adobe Flash Player 10, but I tried all the subversions of 11 and all of them had this bug.

I'm using windows 7, firefox. This also happens on IE 7.

P.S. In the video above, this bug happens few times in a minute, but when I use my real webcam (and I'm moving the camera or I'm moving myself) this bug happens a lot more times.

Hi Fred,

     We won't have 11.1 beta, but you can try out 11.2 beta which is out on the lab: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11-2/ .  It has the fix.

Thanks,
