----Getting flash/youtube to work well is unfortunately wishlist territory since they have yet to enable hw acceleration.---- I'm not sure I understand this; in Mac OSX youtube videos (both html5 and flash) run excellent, the problem is only in Ubuntu.
----So my Sandybridge mba can manage playing the 2k Sintel mp4 with plenty to spare. Can you grab the 2k mp4 and the 1080p mkv versions of Sintel and use that to baseline performance of your system? For example, mplayer -benchmark -frames 500 -nosound $sintel---- I'm not sure if the below output is what you want? user@pc:~$ mplayer -benchmark -frames 500 -nosound $sintel '/home/user/Downloads/Crossroads: Labor Pains of a New Worldview | FULL MOVIE.mp4' MPlayer svn r34540 (Ubuntu), built with gcc-4.7 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.

Unable to run/view HD videos at all Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: *** I reported this as a question on Ask Ubuntu and was told this is a bug. http://askubuntu.com/questions/245584/choppy-and-pixelated-video- on-macbook-air-5-1-unable-to-run-view-hd-videos-at-a *** I'm currently running 13.04 and the video is extremely choppy and pixelated on any video program I run (vlc, mplayer, totem etc.), any flash or html5 videos, and HD videos won't play in a reasonable way at all (entire frames get skipped and video footage is completely distorted; I would say it's about 10 FPS on HD videos, really extremely bad quality). Also, I had this exact problem on 12.04 and 12.10 and was kind of hoping 13.04 would be better, but it is not. Video in Mac OSX works excellent, no lag or quality loss, works perfect in that OS. I would attach some sort of log file but I don't know how and would need directions to do so.
