This problem still appears in Ubuntu 9.10 with NVIDIA drivers 195.30 and 190.53
When I set Visual Effects from Appearance Preferences to "None". Videos plays just fine and there are no artifacts. If I choose any Visual Effects, Videos starts tearing and there are flickering lines in the picture. (You can't take a screenshot, because if you pause the video, the picture is crystal clear.) But I have managed to record this to a video instead using digital camera. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2946o2q&s=6 Here is my specs: Ubuntu 9.10 NVIDIA Drivers 195.30 CPU: C2D E6400 GPU: NVIDIA 9400GT RAM: 2GT -- [nvidia]tearing artifacts in window effects, videos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155226 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
