Hi,

I have same flashplugin installed, same CPU, with Nvidia, high res 
1920x1200 and fullscreen works fine.

Some more info on your setup is required.
1.  Window manager? Browser used?
2.  Which Nvidia Card and Driver used?
3.  Driver config?
4.  Compiz, KDE4 or other effects enabled?
5.  What process grabs 100% CPU.
6.  What resolution videos are you watching?
That should be good for a start.
