When displayed fullscreen, video will "stutter".
This occurs with flash videos and quicktime videos alike, but only in fullscreen.
Video card problem when video is handed over to the GPU for fullscreen mode? Just a guess...
Here is a video of the effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC--Ub4HQP8

MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
It may actually be that the websites are not supportive of the graphics on the MacBook Retina. Does this occur if you play an HD movie from iTunes or another source outside of the web?
It was occuring on the apple.com movie trailers website with quicktime, and is happening in safari and in chrome. It could be but I don't observe it to be an issue with the website.
The problem is it occurs sporadically... but the first time it happened was literally directly after I unboxed it and opened up apple movie trailers in safari... safari would have been the only thing running.
OK... check this out... I don't know when or how, but now when viewing a video in quicktime in Safari, there is no longer an option for fullscreen... yet in Chrome on the same page there is. Both display the identical interface for quicktime, with Chrome having a fullscreen button.
Maybe it's being addressed silently with automatic updates...
