The gamespot video player freezes when going to fullscreen, Audio keeps playing but the whole player is frozen untill I press ESC which brings me back to normal view (which works no problem)

I'm using the latest flash player, shockwave player, and IE7. Running Windows Vista. Tried everything from clearing cache to reinstalling Flash Player.

NOTE: after quitting the frozen fullscreen, the whole site is covered in black (except for the Video player) untill i refresh the page or minimize the window or scroll down or something like that.

My video player doesn't freeze but for some reason all the upload threads keep gettin locked :(

I can't upload videos, i had no problem a week ago. I just can't get past the second stage, one of the locked threads said that the problem was fixed but i'm still stuck :(

can't open numfile: Permission denied at /nfs/htdocs/gamespot_5/cgi/progress_bar.cgi line 131.

I was rediretcted here:

Once again I' am unable to upload any videos onto the site. I can't seem to get pass step 2, since hte upload itself never really starts - it gets stuck right after choosing the file I wish to upload. I know it's a common problem, but right now I seem to be the only one complaining.

Can someone please help me and see what wrong?

True. I'm getting the same message, and I already uploaded several videos without any problem. This started to happen with me a few weeks ago.

Yes, it's working. Thanks! I already uploaded three files without problems, although I got a "video encode failure!" message when I tried to upload a larger file (~80MB), but I think it has something to do with my upload bandwidth (sometimes slow and unstable).

No it's not... :( I'm still getting "The page cannot be displayed" errors. Also, the time elapsed and time remaining counters are screwed up.

True. I'm getting the same problem again. I was able to upload some videos several days ago, but now my browser (IE7) shows the same message as stated above.
