I was going through my site Analytics right now and see that a surprising number of people, almost 33% of the visitors still use an older version of Adobe Flash Player on their browser. Some of them are using Flash Player 9.
Why do you need Adobe Flash Player? Almost any video you play online Youtube, Hulu, Netflix or interactive websites like Facebook use Flash Player.
Why should you update since the old one still works? Adobe recently added support for enhanced hardware acceleration. What it means for you is that if you have a decent enough computer, the flash player you had till now is not using your full computer power to display good quality videos. That’s the reason your videos are crappy and choppy. ( Assuming your internet’s not the issues )
This should help you with testing your version of Adobe Flash Player and you can download the latest version from here.
