I tried enabling the TexturedVideo, but it caused my CPU to max out on an HD video... The only reason I mention this is because Xorg uses about 7 times more cpu with poorer picture quality than the same video being played with X11.
For comparison: Xv uses about 40% (35% vlc, 5% Xorg) of my cpu on average while playing a 720p x264 video X11 uses about 50% (35% vlc, 15% Xorg) playing the same video (but with all those nifty compiz effects working fine) With TexturedVideo enabled and the default output (I am assuming Xv?) it used 100% of the cpu, mostly Xorg I believe. I think VLC was not receiving enough cpu time to even decode the video properly, hence the poorer picture quality. Notably these are amplified numbers (and differences) since it was an HD video; lower resolution videos do not use anywhere near this much CPU. In other words TexturedVideo is not a viable option. Is there anyway to set the default video output for all of Ubuntu to use X11 video output by default? Or do we have to set the default program by program? Also, will the performance of TexturedVideo depend on video card/drivers? Regardless, due to its poor performance, I would say it probably should not be enabled by default on ibex (unless of course it is only enabled for higher end cards...). -- Need textured-video - No video when using window transparency. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213532 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
