Title:
  choppy video when vdpau is enabled

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This used to work just fine in Oneiric so it has to be some weird
  regression that Precise has introduced

  When vdpau is enabled as the video output in smplayer (mplayer2), the
  video stutters a lot. the same problem is not seen when xv is used as
  the output route.

  Somehow when I did `compiz --replace`, between compiz restarting the
  video is playing smoothly. As I type this compiz has crashed it seems
  and the video is smooth. I have verified in the logs that it is using
  vdpau at the moment.

  So is this a compiz bug then?
