</div><div><br></div><div>Now, this time the machine is playing the flash video in VLC (That is a new programme started). So, browsers do not like playing flash movies.... which oddly enough is not that suprising as they are browsers and not media players like VLC is). The sooner we are rid of flash, the better. </div>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div></div>Anyway, I guess an video overload on your system intends to heat your chiptset, not your CPU... The problem is, this very compacted videos require too much processing, for decoding, it's the oposite work of decoding, less effort, but for those new tecnology, that might be enough to make your CPU quite busy...<br>
