Netflix Watch Now Issues

When trying to use Netflix's "Watch Now" feature I get jerky video playback. Gets worse when watching in full screen mode. I did not have to use the workaround to get this function to work as described in this thread.

Anyone else having this problem? When using a XP machine the video is smooth and resolution is almost as good as DVD quality.

I also have Verizon FiOS and noticed that when performing speed tests I do not get the full 20MB down 5MB up within Parallels. I'm thinking this might be the problem.

Anyone?

full screen

I have Apple's 24" monitor at 1920x1200. When I try to play the netflix show at full screen, the whole screen darkens, but the movie only occupies about 2/3 of it. Is there some maximum size tht the movie can display at?

EDIT:
I figured it out. I had to set the XP screen properties to the correct monitor size BEFORE entering fullscreen mode.
