video blanks out in totem, slow in vlc

[T-Keith]

I installed 10.04 in a Dell Dimension 3000 for my father. It's a nice upgrade from the old Pentium 3, except for graphics it seems. I tried playing a video I recorded on my phone. Movie player(totem) appears to play the video, but instead shows a blank screen. Moving the window, minimizing, ect. shows a frame or two, but that's it. Converting to OGG, and turning off compix does nothing. I installed VLC and now the video plays but in slow motion. Sound works great in both. I'm not sure if it's an Intel graphics thing or what, but it's pretty bad when youtube plays better then local video.

BTW not sure if it's related but it also seems to have a problem coming out of suspend.

thanks,

I was really hoping that the intel graphics would work, but maybe I will pick up a cheap Nvidia card off ebay. The only problem is that it doesn't have pci-e or agp, so the pickings are slim.

I picked up a Nvidia FX5200, now the question is which driver to use.
