I just meant I have no control over flash playback as it is a propietary 3rd party application - we have to wait for them to improve it.
The mplayer output says that is capable of decoding roughly 10 such streams in real time (i.e. it ran at 250fps). So the bottleneck in the pipeline is not the decode or presentation. Let's continue to focus on mplayer so I can find exactly where the bottleneck is. Sticking with mplayer -vo xv (which is the default if you specify no -vo) can you please decribe if that renders smoothly, then hit 'f' to make it fullscreen (or you can pass -fs on the mplayer commandline). Does it begin to stutter then? Also, since you describe severe video distortion, can you grab a screenshot or photograph? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103236 Title: Choppy and pixelated video on Macbook Air 5,1.
