[MENTION=105290]erenberk[/MENTION] bilmiyorum sadece bende mi öyle ama, video'yu donduramıyorum, Play/pause tuşuna basınca share ekranı çıkıyor ve video arkada çalışmaya devam ediyor. Klavyeden space tuşuna basınca da aynı şey. Anlamadım bir şey ama durum bu.
Windows 7 üzerinde Firefox 14b, IE9 ve Opera 12'de durum böyle.

Bu durumu biliyorum, nedeni video formatının swf olması. Buna çözüm bulamadım ama hem videodaki yavaş konuşuyor hem de videolar 3 kere tekrar ediyor ve hatta sonuncusunda textini vermesine rağmen videonun altına da textini ekledim.
