Escapist Video's are Lagging.

[Mr.Mattress]

Whenever I watch a video on the Escapist on my HP Pavillion laptop, the video's on the Escapist lag (The Voices move the same but the Video's don't match up). What should I do? How do I fix the problem?

I am not sure it's the computer itself, cause the Audio still sincs up on Youtube.

Do videos on other sites do the same? Is your flash up to date? What browser are you using (I found when I use firefox the adds on this site slow it down to a crawl for some reason but this isn't an issue with Chrome)? If you're using windows try opening task manager and check to see how much of the cpu is being used while you're playing videos and if it's very high look at the processes to see what is using so much of the cpu.

Edit: Also, make sure you don't have a ton of stuff running in the background. Flash tends to be a cpu hog in my experience so if you have a lot of things running in the background that could be using up too much of the cpu and slowing flash.
