This bug has been present on my Karmic amd_64 setup from the start. It seems to affect most NYTimes videos, though most YouTube videos come out clean.
I have tried all of the above fixes without success. I like some of the features of Compiz (e.g., Place Windows), and since disablng it does not improve my videos, I left it on. This is probably an underpowered machine (e.g., GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, nVidia drivers), but since I use Compiz, I apparently can't take advantage of better hardware acceleration anyway. I developed a crude workaround using Greasemonkey that enlarges the NYTimes' embedded Flash player by about 250%. (Find it at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/90955 .) This gives me flicker- free, high quality video at an acceptable size. Comparing the results from my work-around to full-screen, I notice that I get the most flickering not during the fastest motion, but during the most sound. Perhaps this will suggest a possible solution strategy. -- Choppy Flash playback in full screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
