Yup. I've had this problem ever since upgrading to 8.04 on my main desktop. I recently bought an Asus Eee PC 1000 and discarded the stock Xandros OS in favor of Ubuntu (8.04.1). Same problem: agonizingly slow video. Based on feedback here I switched all of the sound preferences from Autodetect to ALSA, and the problem just disappeared.
I just found out about this fix and have only tried it on the Eee PC, but I expect it will solve the problem on the desktop as well. -- unknown video plays in slow motion in full screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
