Hulu lately has been all the rage with massive growth numbers and astonishingly high time on site.  Everyone raves about their UI and the wealth of selection.  So I finally took the plunge, created an account and used the service to watch a few shows.  I ran into a huge problem the case of choppy video…or in nerd speak massive dropping of frames.  I have a Dual Core 2.4ghz intel processor, but an integrated graphics card from Intel.  This machine has plenty of power to decode the video and present 1080p video without a droppage of frames, so why is Hulu struggling so bad?  This happens regardless of if the video is in high or low quality on Hulu the minute I move it to full screen the video gets super choppy.  Has anyone else experience this under Mac OS X or Windows?
