Bhaavan Merchant - Unless the HTML5 videos on YouTube are encoded in MPEG-4 the necessary kernal and mesa components are in Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr". Your GPU doesn't support hardware-accelerated decoding of MPEG-4. You will still need to extract the firmware as described at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/
You will also need Firefox 26 or later for the HTML5 video gstreamer support and will have to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. If you want to use the gstreamer 1.0 versions (gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0 -plugins-ugly and gstreamer1.0-libav) you will need to wait for the upstream Mozilla developers to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806917 - they are getting close. Jarno Suni (jarnos) - as you have different hardware you have a different (although similar) bug. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #806917 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806917 ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165653 Title: Firefox html5 video performance Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I have been experimenting with youtube videos on html5 technology and the same using flash player. I have noticed that html5 videos tend to be heavy on my processor with CPU usage shooting upto 70% on html5. With flash, however, the usage by fiefox + plugin-container isnt as much. Also another conclusive proof of more usage is that my computer (slightly old) heats up much more in a html5 video compared to a flash video. This bug is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/871412 , but different in the fact that I observe poor performance only in html5 videos. (Is this issue perhaps because firefox fails to utilize my GPU, a nVidia 105M running nouveau driver, while flash does use it? Any how I can debug this and add to the report here?)
