Horizontal lines during playback

[Pako]

Binary package hint: totem

I get horizontal lines during playback movies in totem, with and without compiz . It's not about interlaced video, but lines caused by frequency. I try with 'sync to v-blank', set frequency to 60Hz in compiz and playback is little bit better, but lines are still there and with sync to v-blank enabled I get performance regression in compiz. I'm not sure this is a totem issue or video driver bug, but is very annoying.

do you get the same if using gst-launch playbin uri=file:///path/to/file ?

Here is explanation of problem in this screenshot. It happens during playing movies, there appears a tree lines across the window and it happens when camera panning and zooming in scene or when objects moves fast

I hate to dig up an old report, but I am also encountering a nearly identical issue using Natty and Gstreamer running the video with "gst-launch playbin uri=file:///path/to/file" produces the same or a similar rendering error in which the frame is torn.

This happens more often (or is more noticeable) on lower resolution video.

I am getting this issue both with the nVidia proprietary drivers on a GTX460 and open sources drivers on an Intel Chipset (Core i3 era) when the graphics card is removed.
