Public bug reported: vdpau works very poorly in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on Unity3d. Same 1080p movies use around 6-10% of cpu in 11.04 and 11.10 shoots up to 50-60% of cpu usage in 12.04 with vdpau and mplayer (all under Unity 3d) . I have tried several nvidia drivers and the results are the same (Nvidia current 295.40, 295.20 and 295.33 32 bits) Videocard is Nvidia G105M
This seems to be a Unity rather than a Nvidia bug as cpu usage drops back to around 6 -10% for same movies in Gnome shell. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993397 Title: vdpau not working (well) with Ubuntu12.04 Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/993397/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
