I don't have problems with codec performance in ubuntu 10.04. I would try playing the videos with mplayer, totem and/or vlc to see if the performance problem is a codec one.
They play fine in totem; they seem to consume about 50% of each processor (if the System Monitor is to be trusted); I wouldn't expect that much but it's probably normal and at least they play smoothly. In pix_movie they eat 100% of one processor and run at about 4-5 fps or less.
Also do you have a graphics driver with 3D hardware acceleration? if you type
glxinfo | grep direct
is direct rending a Yes or a no?
Yes: direct rendering: Yes GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,
Thank you very much for your help m.
