Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 11.10, I could disable "dri", so openchrome would play videos (with a worse performance, but video would be playable).
In a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 to a hard disk, after "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (today, 2012/03/23), when I try to play video files like .wmv or .webm, my system immediately freezes. If I start video minimized, it's possible to hear sound, but when I call the player (with Alt + Tab) my system immediately freezes again. I think Bug #760743 won't help, because here we have a freeze and with 12.04 the system doesn't enable hardware acceleration {OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)}. So, until now, in 12.04 beta 1, I was forced to use software rasterizer. This would have to bring compatibility, but freezes persists and I have a slower system than 11.10.
