Public bug reported:
I have encountered this problem over the past two months. Any mvk
wrapped video that uses the FFmpeg H.264 codec is choppy in Totem movie
player and in VLC media player. Mplayer will play the files but
(displays a system too slow message) after some time will cause the
whole computer to freez including the mouse pointer. If you let it sit
for about a minute the computer will reboot itself to recover from the
crash. VLC seems to handle the videos the best but also freezes the
computer like Mplayer. Mplayer and totem max out one of my CPU cores.
VLC does not but can be pixelated, out of sync, or freezes up the
computer. You can use any 780i or higher resolution HD video encoded
with H.264 as a sample file. As long as I don't play mvk files I have no
freezing problems with this machine under Ubuntu for weeks at a time.
Let me know if you need more details.
