Its hard to explain in words so I've uploaded a pic of it:

As you can see the video is cropped/moved(?) to the right side. It only happened twice during this week and although it happens rarely, I feel this is not normal.

Here's my specs:

- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

- FireFox 12.0

- Flash player 11.2.202.235

Thank you, help would be appreciated it.

This screams hardware acceleration.

First, make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card installed.

1.) Try disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash Player. Details are the Solve Video Problems section, here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html

2.) If the issue persists, please disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox:

Click the orange Firefox button

Click Options

Under General, uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available

3.) Attach the output of dxdiag.exe

I can't see your image due to family safety but your problem sounds like mine.

Have a look at this: https://benramz.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/screenshot-14.png

I have Chrome installed and it works fine. I don't like chrome, I like Firefox, which is where the problem persists.

Any suggestions?

I am getting the exact same issue as the OP.

I only just realised going back to default zoom makes the video fit then did a search and found this thread.

It appears to occur 10 seconds into the video if the page isnt loaded at default 100% zoom

Very annoying as once it has occured it doesnt go away in full screen mode.

hi, im experiancing a very similar problem and no suggestions i have seen have so far worked.

i have noticed some things about this bug:

-not every video does this

-doesnt occur straight away but around 10 seconds into the video the frame of the video moves to the right so that part of the video is obscured and a black border remains on the left in the same way that can be seen in the uploaded screenshot

- refreshing the page will cause the same thing to happen at the same point in the video

-the same problem occurs on all browsers

-my graphics driver, browser and flash player are up to date

-going into fullscreen mode does not help

please help!

Have you posted this question over on the YouTube forum to see if they've seen this before? Does this happen with any other video site?

@Chris. There is a thread on the youtube forum created by the same person who created this thread. i have commented on this as i have above.

I have only ever seen it occur on youtube, but this may be because i mainly only use youtube for video

@Jeromie. Zooming out does cause the frame of the video to return to normal, however this makes the video very small on my screen. and so when i click to watch in full-screen it goes back to the right, out of position again

thanks
