On Gutsy it keeps pausing, almost as if waiting for the next keyframe (I frame? can't remember the right term for the frame with full image info in it)... sometimes it runs for almost a minute just fine and then the pausing/stuttering starts. Since it is the same hardware and the same player (VLC) it is likely something else... My hunch is that doing the same task is requiring more CPU power on Gutsy than on W2k. But as for why... it could be the ATI driver, or some missing setting ( I have texturedvideo on and videooverlay off but perhaps there are other settings for the driver that would help?) but it could also be X doing something, or even Gutsy.
I'll probably go back to W2k if I can't figure out the stuttering fairly quickly, but still this was a significant an improvement over 8.2 - thanks to all the people who made it happen!
