----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.----
I don't think it has to do with Flash since the same video runs fine in the other operating system but not in Ubuntu. Also, the same problem occurs for html5 videos which I think, correct me if I'm wrong, is open source on youtube. ----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?---- It stutters in both fullscreen and in a windowed view. ----Also, since you describe severe video distortion, can you grab a screenshot or photograph?---- The screenshot doesn't seem to capture the pixelation and skips, but you can see the blurriness. (exact same video works perfectly fine in OSX using vlc) http://ubuntuone.com/6VZ8aLYlY4SwmJazZv5Uhk http://ubuntuone.com/5Ts2NVxY0tBbqxUeoUzYUn -- 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.
