hi guys- from a linux novice, but for what it's worth, i'm having the exactly same problem and here's what i've noticed (it also works as an awkward workaround):
1. install smplayer 2. start the video you'd like to play with smplayer. it should start playing with only the sound. 3. start the same video with vlc or mplayer. it will play with both sound and video. thanks for your good work! -c -- all video players crash with BadAlloc error (no Compiz) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359831 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
