Adobe has updated Flash Player 10.1 with hardware-accelerated decoding for Macs, according to project manager Thibault Imbert.
We just pushed a few minutes ago a new version of the Flash Player 10.1.82.76 containing a nice feature that was in beta until now called "Gala". Yes, H.264 GPU decoding in Mac OSX is now officially enabled in the Flash Player.
You should notice now a nice difference when playing H.264 content on your Mac in terms of CPU usage. We rarely enable new features in security releases but we really wanted to enable such a cool feature.
Hardware acceleration is supported on the following models:
● MacBooks shipped after January 21st, 2009
● Mac Minis shipped after March 3rd, 2009
● MacBook Pros shipped after October 14th, 2008
● iMacs which shipped after the first quarter of 2009
You can download the updated player from the link below...
