Okay - I will see if I can find that in the Flash Player. I don't
think I know how to load just the player without starting a Flash
Video (and then how to find options for it while a video is playing).

You could go to Youtube and right click the first Flash movie pane you
see. Then set the tick box there and test.

I have another test case I keep on disk here. Adobe bought Macromedia
years ago, and Macromedia is where Flash came from.

Unpack this, and open fullScreenSourceRectDemo.html file in a Flash enabled
browser. This demonstration has an area on the web page you click, to go
from windowed to full screen Flash video mode. Which should help exercise
any flaky acceleration features. Download is 50MB or so. Most of the
download, is the movie content. You press the esc key to go back
to windowed mode.

Hmmm. On my current motherboard and video card combination, the screen
resizing is back to using the CPU :-( I go from 7% CPU to 15% CPU when
I make the movie full screen. And Flash is one patch below being current
(I have an update to do when I get around to it). So it's looking like
the behavior is different, compared to my last system (with ATI card).

You can pop up Task Manager while doing the movie playback test,
and see how going full screen affects CPU usage. (Right-click the
bar at the bottom of the screen, and select "Task Manager" from
the pop up menu.)
