Adobe Flash full screen without focus

These simple instructions should keep for a while despite all the changes to flash versions.


Flash does not like to stay running full screen after it loses focus. Adobe says this is by design.
This works only for Win7, x64, firefox. Chrome has its own version in a different folder. IE uses ActiveX.

editing vado HD files

Editing vado files with Adobe Premiere CS5:
by default you can only edit the audio, and there's no video.

If you search for 'x264vfw' you will find a sourceforge project at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

download the latest file for your x32 or x64 system and install it. No reboot required if you have Premiere closed during install.
