Comment 73 for bug 755841

Thanks Da Fox for the suggestion of a screen capture program for xfce4. The screen shot was larger than 1 MB so I did not attach it to this bug report. Basically the screen shot demonstrated the problem of video tearing and an extra screen shot probably does not help to solve this problem. The source video I used was 1080i recorded direct from an over-the-air HDTV transmission.

I have noticed that when I use the bleeding edge kernel and intel video driver ppas that the problem still occurs. The only time I do not see video tearing is if I use mplayer with the -vo gl or -vl gl2 options. These options; however, do seem to add juddering or stuttering to the picture and so are not a good solution.
