Enabling "Sync to VBlank" in CCSM has the drawback of breaking resuming from suspend-to-disk. What's more, it doesn't really remove the tearing.
What does help is using the Compiz Video Plugin and a player that supports it. As to players that do support this, I'm aware only of mplayer using some patches found on the net. Instructions are here: http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/unlocking-the-full-video- potential-of-your-video-card/ In any event, this is almost certainly a bug in NVidia's binary blob, as evidenced by the fact that on nvnews.net forums, there are similar reports in other distributions. In fact they've acknowledged this and claim to fix this in a later release. NVidia's internal bug number is 353274. As far as I know, this isn't fixed in the latest driver release. -- compiz+nvidia: tearing in xvideo (totem/mplayer/VLC) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
