Thread: Bad playback of HD movies
hi there
have installed ubuntu 11.04 64bit. have pretty powerful computer: intel quad 6600, 4gb ram, ati 4870 (512 mb).
using dual boot win7 , there multimedia experience flawless. games run great , hd movies well.
stick win7 gaming on, dev work , multimedia inside ubuntu (that's because huge fan, used in virtual machines lot).
so, after spending 3 afternoons polishing environment, making cube work unity, deciding myself between tons of themes , bringing ubuntu state like, discover disappointment, trying play hd movies...is pain in a**. have proprietary drivers (ati catalyst 11.6) , vlc installed, plus ubuntu restricted extras , gstreamer packages.
strangely video player, hd movies run little better, still not perfect. , talking 720p here, not 1080p. vlc, seems sound buggy. regular dvd rip movies work...but guess trying use x256 codecs, fails.
hope there solution this...i don't want go out there buy nvidia card....
in advance.
anybody? no clue?
