I know that this laptop (Asus UL30A) does support playing HD material with the help of the GPU on windows. The question is how can I do this under linux? The CPU load as is implies that this is not activated. I assume that it's limited to a handful of codecs. But which player supports this, if its even supported at all?
View 2 RepliesTotal Linux & Ubuntu noob here Have setup my Dell Dimension 9200 Tower (Pentium 4, 3.2Ghz, 3GB RAM, Nvidea GEForce 9600) with Lucid 32 bit. I'd like to be able to play my 1080p mkv (.264) video library on my Ubuntu system that I use as a media centre.
What is the easiest method to get GPU accelerated video playback for above please ? I have tried the built-in Movie Player, Boxee (which I use for other videos anyway) and VLC - all of which play but with a small amount of stutter - enough to be annoying. As far as I can tell these apps do not use NVidea GPU acceleration. In all cases I have used the defaults provided either by Ubuntu/Boxee/VLC.
Is MPlayer the answer ? BTW I'm a relatively "non-tech-enthusiast" coming from the Microsoft environment. I'm comfortable with DOS command line but have never used Linux command line,
I am a Ubuntu and LINUX newbie. Install goes easy but I can not get 3D accelerated graphics to work. So I am stuck with poor and slow graphics. I tried and tried with the ATI card and went back to make onboard the primary. Neither seems to allow for visual effects upgrade nor 3d graphics in games.
Here is lspci:
Just installed Ubuntu 11.04, and everything is perfect, except my video card. Ubuntu 11.04 refuses to run my labtops integrated Intel 855GM video card in OpenGL hardware accelerated mode. Everything is really slow/unresponsive compared to earlier versions, windows are rendering painfully slow etc. From what I can gather, problem is, 11.04/newest Compiz is OpenGL 1.4, and my video card only supports 1.3 (?). Now, I have tried downgrading Compiz following this link: [url]
No luck so far.. OpenGL is still software only. Do I need to edit some ini-file or xorg.conf, or am I missing something here?

The only one I found so far is the AOPEN i45GMt-HD which has the " Intel GMA X4500MHD" for graphics. Apparently this card does support Intel Clear Video under Windows Vista, but not under XP so I fear the Linux support might not be optimal either. Can anyone confirm that hardware accelerated video playback works under Linux with the Intel GMA X4500MHD? No review I found about it seems to mention it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedToday encoders are getting smarter. They can compress Blu ray similar quality in 700MB. It seems header of video file contain info about frame rate, audio/video encoder etc. which can't be guessed. In MPEG audio , every part of file is independently playable. If a movie is binary split into 6 parts & I don't have the first part then it is unplayable.

After installing Ubuntu 10.04, kept getting this popup advising me of an Nvidia accelerated graphics driver 96. After installing it my highest resolution is 640x480 and I get the following error:
"It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? Yes/No"
How do I get this thing to a 1024x768 resolution?
plain and simple how do I watch my old .amv videos. Whenever I try I get this error.

How am I supposed to play these videos.
Recently, I noticed that I can no longer see any video when playing m4v files (audio is OK). These files worked fine until recently, and the problem persists across mplayer, totem, banshee and even firefox.
I am running Natty with the 2.6.39 kernel.
I'm on Fedora 13 GNOME. I haven't installed proprietary Nvidia drivers for my GTS 250 graphic card. The problem is now whenever I play any video file in any video player the PC freezes locking up virtual terminals. However the sound of the video continues to play on until the video ends. I have to then cold reset from the switch on chassis. What can be the probable reason behind this?

When i try to play HD (even with 720p) video the CPU load is almost 100%. I'm using vlc player and the movie is barely watchable. If i switch to Movie Player, the CPU load is slightly decreased, but after 2-3 minutes the audio goes out of sync, so no solution there. I have an nvidia 8600gt graphics card and the proper driver installed, every compiz effect works flawlessly without the slightest increase in CPU load and a dual core 2,1 GHz AMD processor. It shouldn't be a hardware issue.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Core 2 Duo T9600. I noticed video playing performance has been really bad lately, and videos that used to work fine now stuttered. I would say it started happening 2-3 weeks ago. I discovered the culprit is that the CPU is scaling down to 800Mhz and sticking there. Running cpufreq-info yields:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using Ubuntu 10.04 for about a month and generally the graphics work fine (I have a Radeon 2600 XT graphics card and have installed Catalyst Control Centre 10.7).3D games such as Nexuiz work fine and I can generally play different types of video but when I try to play HD video it gets pretty jerky. The same files play fine in windows so I'm guessing it's a software/driver issue. I've read various related posts to this and after typing 'top' into the terminal, I can see that playing the video takes most of the CPU processing resource up, which I as I understand, suggests that most of the work is not being offloaded to the GPU.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to burn a video DVD created from "Devede" with K3B. The video DVD successfully burns, and plays in my computer, but does not play in any of the DVD players in the house. I used to user "ConvertXToDVD" when I was on Windows, but am trying to find a free/open source alternative on ubuntu. I am using all default options. I have looked in the settings for both programs, and I fail to see the problem here. Even the ISO created from devede seems to match up to the Video DVD (that works in the players) I had burned with ConvertXToDVD.
In Devede I have it so that the menu is disabled and it automatically plays the first title. Apparently this is not good enough.. I thought this program was supposed to be easy to use? What am I doing wrong here? I am using the same DVD-R I have used before on my Windows machine to great success. I am getting frustrated as I have went through 2 DVDs,

Does GNU/Linux have separate video codecs like Windows has? Or all the codecs in GNU are built in video-players?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter using Ubuntu for about 18 months (and trying out a few others) I have started to use Debian (Lenny) more and more. I like the fact that it's supposed to be a very powerful and stable distro. When I tried to view a couple of video clips from a website it just won't play, though. Other distros play 'out of the box' but perhaps I need some pointing in the right direction from the more experienced Debian user! I installed MPlayer but that hasn't made any difference. I also downloaded Flash for Linux, which installed without problems. What I need to do? Plug-ins required etc?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been using Lenny for about a year now, but for some reason Xine has suddenly stopped playing mkv files. It plays everything else including flash. I only started using xine because the mkv files for some reason suffer from a lag between the video and audio in mplayer. I tried installing banshee and vlc but neither of them show video. So I was left with only Xine and it worked perfectly then it suddenly stops playing mkv. Is there something I need to install or remove, reconfigure? Do I just delete the Xine config folder in my home-folder? Lenny being what it is I can only install what is on the out-dated Lenny repos trying anything else like the unstable releases simply wants to uninstall my entire system.

Acer Aspire 8930
Intel Centrino 2
NVidia geforce 9600m GS 512mb

I have the proprietary nVidia graphics drivers installed. So it is powerful enough.
