This is useless. Flash has almost always frozen for me. On just about any video on multiple computers in both Firefox and Chrome it freezes once after about 3 seconds of playing. Then it will freeze about every 30 seconds for about a second or two. The audio never freezes, just the video. My Flash versions are all up-to-date.
