This is more of an adobe problem, and poor coding on Adobe's part. Adobe sucks!

this problem still exists, even the latest MB Pros do suffer from this bug in Adobe's Flash. I am sure this is connected with the fact that iPhone does not support Flash, because its CPU would get way too hot.
What should we as Apple users expect/do?! I am surprised how this issue is well known to all Mac users somehow, but Adobe just does not do anything to solve it?
What you can do is google "flash mac adobe bug fp890". This needs to be more public to increase the public pressure on Adobe

@dell1032 Just run HTML5. YouTube has a trial in HTML5 now. Just google it! I love it! No flash on my system!

how about windows-laptops, do they get hot when watching flashvideo?

It sucks on ANY Unix derivative, not just OS X.

More than 3 years later Adobe Flash Player still suck balls on Mac OS.

And I'm typing this from my iPad. So here's to html5: the 'google chrome' of object renders

And this is different from ANY other computer how? You saw for yourself, it's not the browser, and I can testify it's NOT the computer either. It's stupid ass flash for supreme resource hogging eating up your processor time.

@powerphillg5 not really..... The only country that "maximize" HTML5 is US, half of it, and certain European country. while content are flash game, and over 80% percentage of excessive web uses are filled with flash... html5 is not going to replace flash
-
You don't have to worry about flash for a very long time... it's on its way out the door. HELLO HTML5!!

its not osx, its flash

The most recent versions of Flash Player 9 added GPU support for Full Screen Video. You can also view H.264 standard movies which can be very CPU intensive. Go to the Flash Player context menu and click on settings. There should be a setting with hardware acceleration check mark.

True, I do see the check box on my version of Flash. It might just be the integrated GPU on all current MacBooks that have this problem. Just curious what kind of system are you running? I'll agree that h.264 playback can be demanding, but typically I only run into CPU strain when playing back HD movie trailers from Apple's website.

The latest versions of Flash does take advantage of the GPU.

Are you talking about Flash 10 Beta? Hopefully this is true, but normally I don't like to run beta software on my systems. If the situation changes in Flash 10, I'll make another video.

When it came time to upgrade, I shied away from a laptop as I suspected I'd wish later on that I had more than 2 CPU cores. So, I went with a Pro tower with 8 cores. Not an answer for your problem, of course... We'll just have to wait for a better flash player that passes off control to Apple core video routines so that the GPU can be used instead. Quicktime played full screen would be an interesting comparison test... Are you interested in making another video with this other full screen setup?

For the most part I have no problem with QuickTime h.264 playback on my MacBook. The cooling fans only kick in when playing back an HD movie trailer from Apple's website. Adobe really needs to fix Flash.
