Thread: Video playback choppy
this has been on-going problem i've had when trying watch video in linux. i'm going go ahead , state list of important points possibly rule out lot of things it's not. record, "choppy" mean noticeably low frame rate, in 30fps videos looking if discarding more half of frames.
*this happens in lots of distributions, not ubuntu.
*i have amd hd5850 , using latest proprietary drivers, problem exists older drivers too.
*i have desktop computer 4ghz processor, without type of speed stepping enabled.
*i can play 60fps 1080p video in windows without issues, in linux 360p choppy.
*problem happens both when using compiz , when using metacity or without compositing enabled.
*problem happens video player applications except flash videos played inside web browser.
*problem goes away if move mouse around on top of video player, come when stop.
*problem happens video formats , types of sources (internal hdd, external hdd, internet streams, etc)
