I should add, FLV decoding and upscaling on my ATI running fglrx 8.40.4 + xgl works fine (earlier and later versions are both crap with xvideo, as is running 8.40.4 without Xgl)

It also looks flawless on my Intel.

ffmpeg does the job of decoding the FLVs, but it is your graphics card driver's xvideo capabilities that ultimately determine the quality of output.

With mplayer and some other players, it is possible to work around this with high-quality software scaling but that is CPU intensive and not the topic of this bug report.
