----I just meant I have no control over flash playback as it is a propietary 3rd party application - we have to wait for them to improve it.----
I don't think it has to do with Flash since the same video runs fine in the other operating system but not in Ubuntu. Also, the same problem occurs for html5 videos which I think, correct me if I'm wrong, is open source on youtube. ----Sticking with mplayer -vo xv (which is the default if you specify no -vo) can you please decribe if that renders smoothly, then hit 'f' to make it fullscreen (or you can pass -fs on the mplayer commandline). Does it begin to stutter then?---- It stutters in both fullscreen and in a windowed view. ----Also, since you describe severe video distortion, can you grab a screenshot or photograph?---- The screenshot doesn't seem to capture the pixelation and skips, but you can see the blurriness. (exact same video works perfectly fine in OSX using vlc) http://ubuntuone.com/6VZ8aLYlY4SwmJazZv5Uhk http://ubuntuone.com/5Ts2NVxY0tBbqxUeoUzYUn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103236 Title: Choppy and pixelated video on Macbook Air 5,1. 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.
