Bug Description
While watching the exact same FLV (FLash Video) file on Ubuntu Linux 7.10 (with all updates) and on Microsoft Windows 2000, I realized that, unfortunately, the playback quality was far lower in Ubuntu ("pixelization" effect), and playback was jaggy (lots of short and frequent lags).
The video player I used on Windows was Microsoft Windows Media Player, and on Ubuntu I tried both gxine and totem (gstreamer), but the effect remained the same.
The computer has an ATI Radeon graphics card, with Xv enabled on Linux, and a 2GHz processor. I easily reproduced the problem with other files, on other computers.
I think it's important that Ubuntu the highest-quality playback possible for all supported video formats.
If you have any ideas whatsoever, please ask. I will try to do my best to answer in the next ~12h after your reply.
Thank you for being there!
