@bowser VLC actually uses vdpau, or at least this is what it says. In order to enable support just install the nvidia proprietary driver, vdpau* packages and in VLC (codecs tab iirc) "enable GPU acceleration" or something like that. Restart VLC and you'll see in debug it's loading and using vdpau (unless it's lying...?).
That said i can easily provide more results with different apps but judging from the other comments i don't think there's a need (also, looks like it's the same for everyone here, so i guess it's easily reproducible provided you have an nvidia card). @Daniel I'll try, but still i think that compiz should handle this "automagically", it's not a weird scenario (also please note that in my screenshot the channel wasn't HD...if i watch HD channels they stutter, but i'd leave that out for now) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993397 Title: vdpau not working (well) with Ubuntu12.04 Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/993397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
