[Bug 780007] [NEW] [Natty] Stuttering video playback

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

High frame rate/bitrate videos are stuttering badly with compiz (Unity
and Ubuntu Classic with effects) in VLC, Mplayer and Totem. For example:
if I enable yadif (double framerate) deinterlacing on a DVD Video or
watching 50/60fps progressive SD materials. In full screen mode the
stuttering is getting worse (~10fps).  Mplayer doesn't show AV sync
problems or dropped frames and the CPU usage is normal (see attached
screenshot).  All of these videos are running smoothly under Unity 2D
and Ubuntu Classic without effects.  I tried different video outputs and
different ccsm setting combinations including sync to vblank, the
unredirect fullscreen window option and manually adjusting the refresh
rate, but the problem still exists.
