My new (September) MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz has 10.6.6 installed with 4 gigs of RAM.

When I stream live video in both Safari and Chrome, I get audio only (no video) and after a minute or so, the plug-in fails. It happens more quickly in Safari than in Chrome, but both of them crash.

So far I updated all software (only iTunes needed an update) and have re-installed Flash (10.1). I reset PRAM (4 or 5 chimes) and even re-installed Safari. All the same.

I have only Growl installed as extra system prefs

Saved video plays fine.

I am hoping that I don't have to re-install the system.

seems this is a macbook pro problem and that turning off hardware acceleration in flash does the trick.

right click on the object before hitting play
choose "settings"
unclick "enable hardware acceleration"

play the stream.
