  Yeah, there's nothing for us to change, it's basically just another way to write javascript.

  There's no workaround, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format and since node-webkit is based on open-source code which hasn't paid any of the royalty fees, it can't support the patented formats. You need to encode your video to Theora or WebM. You need to do that anyway, for any platform, since for the same reason, not all web browsers or OSs support MP4.

  Which export option did you choose? That check should only be there if you choose 'Export HTML5 website'. If you are exporting for Cordova you should choose 'Export for PhoneGap', which doesn't have that check.

  How serious is it? Is it like a single dropped frame or a few hundred millisecond pause?

  Cordova is an open-source library used by all of PhoneGap Build, Intel XDK, Crosswalk and Ludei's webview based platforms (AFAIK).

  Can't reproduce here, all of IE11, Chrome and Firefox Nightly (latest) are pretty smooth. Firefox is a bit jumpy at the start but "warms up" (presumably the JIT compilation finishes).

  Are your graphics drivers up to date? What does Chrome report about hardware acceleration in chrome://gpu?

  I checked again with 0.11.1 and I can't actually reproduce any problem: I ran the Space Blaster jank test and it did not drop a single frame, with a maximum jank of 4.2ms, well within the 16.6ms frame time. So I guess it is system dependent. I'm on Windows 8.1 here. Also I'm pretty sure the problem is already fixed (since nobody is reporting Chrome is as bad?) and so the next version of node-webkit should solve this. I filed a node-webkit bug anyway to see what Roger says: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/issues/2698

  I don't think there's any reason to get all doomsday about this, it's just a bug and the fix should inevitably make its way to node-webkit too. I don't see why anyone has to stop development on their game - you should be able to keep testing with Chrome (which should run almost identically). Alternatively you can roll back your node-webkit version to any version at all manually - just visit https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Downloads-of-old-versions to download a version and overwrite the files in your NodeWebkitForC2 install folder. Or you could just ignore the jank and keep developing while waiting for the next update? (Depends how bad it is)

  tl;dr - should be fixed soon when node-webkit next updates the Chromium version

  IDK, maybe the latest version of greenworks will fix it. Let me see if I can update it in the next beta.

  iceangel - I tried your link and it works fine here. I only got to the menu but it was working smoothly. Was there anything else I needed to do to see the problem?

  Are there any errors in the browser console (Ctrl+Shift+J)?

  Can you attach a .capx? We always require one, to rule out the possibility we test it and don't find a problem because you actually did something different.

  Closing, please follow the bug report guidelines and try the 'Reset dialogs' button.

  Have you tested r189? Are you sure this is not an Ejecta bug if it works correctly on other platforms?

  I'd recommend migrating to Cordova as soon as you can anyway, since we are planning to drop support for non-browser engines soon, in part because bugs in engines that are not real browsers can be very difficult to deal with.

  Please also attach a .capx, it is mandatory for bug reports. For example, the screenshots you post could in fact be the correct result if you have chosen letterbox integer fullscreen mode.
