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?
 
FYI build 3170 RC3 seems to have helped with the jerky video playback. It's still there but now it's watchable.
 
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.
