HD Videos are laggy with Mobility HD 4250 in 11.10

Question

I have an Mobility HD 4250 graphics on my computer. Im trying to watch HD videos 1080p from YouTube, but when watching them, they are very laggy. I have proprietary drivers. I have disabled Sync to VBlank and Detect freshrate from CCSM, and my Ubuntu works fine with those settings, but HD video lag is the only problem with this. When i had Windows, i was able to watch 1080p videos smoothly. Possible to fix this? I use Chrome and i have installed Flash when i installed 11.10.

Just type "VLC" in Ubuntu Software Center to download VLC Media Player.

This multimedia player will enhance bitrate and HD video runs in FLOW.
