This bug has been present on my Karmic amd_64 setup from the start.  It
seems to affect most NYTimes videos, though most YouTube videos come out
clean.

I have tried all of the above fixes without success.  I like some of the
features of Compiz (e.g., Place Windows), and since disablng it does not
improve my videos, I left it on.

This is probably an underpowered machine (e.g., GeForce 6150SE nForce
430, nVidia drivers), but since I use Compiz, I apparently can't take
advantage of better hardware acceleration anyway.

I developed a crude workaround using Greasemonkey that enlarges the
NYTimes' embedded Flash player by about 250%.  (Find it at
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/90955 .)  This gives me flicker-
free, high quality video at an acceptable size.

Comparing the results from my work-around to full-screen, I notice that
I get the most flickering not during the fastest motion, but during the
most sound.  Perhaps this will suggest a possible solution strategy.
