No it is not normal.
Video can usually be sped up or slowed down via a setting somewhere on the page or in the browser; take a look around for something with a '+' or '-'.

Re: Video is not running normally.

I don't do much video watching in browsers, but I think it's the '[' & ']' or '<' & '>' keys, possibly '(' & ')' that change the viewing speed, (the others jump backward & forward by so many seconds).

Re: Video is not running normally.

I have this also, about 6x in iceweasel. I don't use video very often so am not sure when it started. I used Synaptic to remove the flashplugin non free which immediately resulted in normal speed!!!???. This I don't understand because I thought that plugin was just a flash loader.  Next day after a reboot, some videos on youtube would run normal speed but no sound, however BBC i-player would not - missing flash plugin error! So I reinstalled the 'flashplugin non free' on Synaptic and lo video and i-player work normal speed with sound.  I have done another reboot and it is still OK.

See if this works for you.

Bizarre or what??

Re: Video is not running normally.

More data.  In the previous post my normal speed video only produced sound via the headphones.  I followed thisHDMI thread I didn't get HDMI sound but I lost my headphone sound and gained overspeed video!!

changing the .asoundrc designation from the HDMI to analogue restored the headphone sound and the video speed to normal.

Even more bizarre or does this start to make sense to some one?
