I'm using 8.10, and I've noticed that no more updates are coming.
your Ubuntu version isn't supported anymore. They might have already removed the package repositories for unsupported versions and that might indeed lead to problems with graphics and video players as you said.
What annoyed the heck out of me was the earlier (7.xx) version of Ubuntu *did* work.
The support for desktop 8.04 and 9.10 is also nearing its end (April this year). I'd recommend backing up your /home and installing 10.04 LTS or 10.10 instead.
Yeah, I know I'll be forced to upgrade soon. One thing that'll make it easier is I abandoned using Ubuntu for multimedia. For example, to play Pandora I now just plug my ipod into my stereo <g>. I just stopped using youtube on Ubuntu, as I got tired of the video randomly going black, freezing, etc.
