I use Totem/GStreamer for viewing movie files. With Compiz active the picture breaks up, especially in fullscreen.
How do I improve/fix the performance of video in Compiz. CPU usage doesn't go beyond 20% but the picture still breaks up (tears) quite often. When I disable Compiz I can view the movies perfectly. I have enabled the "Video Plugin" for Compiz but it doesn't appear to make a difference. I've seen patches for mplayer to take advantage of the "Video Plugin" but my preference is to continue to use GStreamer if I can. I have a P4 3.3Ghz, 1GB RAM, with a GeForce FX Go5200 Video. I'm running OpenSolaris 2008.11 with the legacy NVidia drivers.
