Youtube fullscreen choppy and laggy?

When I play a video on youtube in fullscreen mode, regardless of the quality, it will become choppy and laggy. I also have this problem with videos on other websites. Also, the audio wont match up with the video.

I can play a youtube video in regular/enlarged mode with 720p HD quality without and lag or the video becoming choppy.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Update:

I have tried letting the entire video load, but lag with still occur. Even in the lowest quality 240.

    First off, watching media over a wireless home network is a poor choice at best. Secondly, most everyone has problems with lag in full screen hi-def. Let it buffer. Start it and pause it. It will still download. Get yourself a soda and come back to watch it.

    Edit: Then the first thing to do is shut down any processes you don't need running in the background. Provide details on your PC and GPU.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration -- Edit -> Preferences->Advanced->General tab->Browsing segment->unselect "Use hardware acceleration while to be had". OR are you making use of AVG accelerator?
