[ubuntu] Choppy full screen video

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and while using Ubuntu (unity 3d) full screen video playback is very choppy. This includes, VLC, movie player, and to a lesser extent youtube videos. However, not all video playback is choppy: smaller-sized or windowed videos run smoothly. Even almost fully maximized videos in VLC play smoothly, but as soon as you make it 'full screen' there is significant choppiness. Not unwatchable, but definitely not suited for serious video watching. I usually have to switch to another OS to watch videos. I dualboot with Windows 7, and it plays videos of all size smoothly.

I know that a bunch of these threads exist, but i have not been able to solve the problem on my laptop. Any type of streaming video be it youtube, linux, facebook, the video is choppy at full screen. I have dual-boot and these videos at full screen play perfectly fine on Windows XP.

I'm new to Linux, have a windows 8 computer and a mac.

I'm currently running 13.04 (I try to extend the little help I can by submitting bug reports) and the video is extremely choppy and pix-elated on any video program I run (vlc, mplayer, totem etc.), any flash or html5 videos, and HD videos won't play in a reasonable way at all (entire frames get skipped and video footage is completely distorted; I would say it's about 10 FPS on HD videos, really ex

So I'm sure it is well known that the nexus 7 doesn't have flash, however for embedded youtube videos that most likely use html 5 ( I know because I can play them on my ipad just fine) I cant seem to get the video working well on the nexus 7.

Hi #!-ers,I have two problems related with the video playback that may or may not be related.1. I've recently started to have problems with video playback on VLC and some other players I've tried (but not for sound, just video issues).The only one that seems to be ok is "GNOME MPlayer", that lets me play videos with sound.

I run awesome WM on Ubuntu

Recently when I try and watch full screen youtube videos they have been playing in a small letter box - They have not 'full screened'

Vimeo & Dailymotion videos still fullscreen correctly.

This is NOT the problem of a youtube video appearing 'behind' the browser.

some videos appear choppy even though it's fully loaded some videos appear out of sync with audio in hd mode

everything works fine in desktop version, only mobile version has problems anyone know why?

For some reason most of the videos on xhamster.com (full site) are very choppy. Am using broadband WiFi so bandwidth definitely isn't an issue. Anybody else had this problem and/or is there a solution? Never had this problem with the HTC Desire which is nowhere near as good a phone as my Galaxy S2 so I am very confused.

Hi,

I am trying to find out following: I would like to find out if I can use Galaxy Tab 10.1 to play video on my HDTV (Full HD via HDMI adapter). However almost all the apps that I have seen seem to produce dropped frames or problems with sync with audio/video during playback for number of mkv/mp4/avi media files.
