Hi All,

Just upgraded to 9.10 and have some slight issues with video playback. I have a small laptop hooked up to the TV in the living room and use it to stream movies and such from another computer hooked to the home network. Prior to upgrade, the quality was awesome. DVD quality picture or (sometimes) better. I used Movie Player as my player of choice. After upgrade, using Movie Player, the quality isn't that great and the picture is a bit laggy. Almost as if it is throttling the bits per second. If I use VLC, the quality comes right back up, however whenever there is a lot of movement on the screen there is a bit of artifacting.

Anybody else experience anything similar?

Cheers!
Brian

yes. I find my dvds are all jumpy on movie player now. I don't know much about this stuff as I have only been using linux for about 6 months now and LOVE IT!\

I have been trying codes in terminal that folks are suggesting but I have not found one that makes movies play smoothly yet. sorry I do not have the answer but I am glad I am not the only one with this issue
