    I have finally been able to get video playback working on my AO by installing Flash 10, but the playback is a little rough, though workable. Has anyone else been able to get video playback working smoothly on Jaunty, and if so, how? Thanks in advance!

    sorry for lame response, but video playback is basically flawless on my jaunty install. Did nothing special beyond following the ubuntu documentation for installing on acer aspire, and installing adobe-flashplugin deb package from adobe's site version 10.0.22.87-1

    I agree with itres that it's probably related to Flash rather than whether your One is fast enough.

    Try watching a video with VLC. My videos play perfectly. The One is not a powerful machine but then it has a pretty low res screen too so that helps.

    VLC, stop at every 2 second, I don't know what's wrong, movie player does the job better, but still stutter sometimes (720p HD), maybe it is hardware limitation, maybe, because I tried to play NFS Undercover trailer (about 200 MB .mov) and it still stutter in xpsp3. All other clips non hd played fine, and I really don't know where to put that mtrr thing in defoptions, I mean where to put the text inside grub.lst, is it next to defoption or under.

    In my AOD150, with Ubuntu UNR, running Firefox with the Adobe Flash plugin, videos are perfect in Youtube in normal resolution, and a little choppy in full screen. Can't play hight def youtube videos (video freezes and audio continues playing).

    In Vimeo, I can't play either standard def or high def videos. They are always too choppy. Interesting how I can play youtube std-def videos but not Vimeo std-def videos. I'll post back if I find a solution.

    This seems to be linux-wide issue which has existed as far back as version 9, it might help if everyone who is having this issue goes to adobe's support site and votes for the bug to be worked on: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1692

    Flash is such an awful cpu hog...compare it to a stream from veetle.com (note: this requires the installation of a statically built version of VLC and a p2p video stream client in ~/mozilla/plugins) look at the Chinese movie "The Red Cliff" which they play ad nauseum---Flash that fine would play at 2 frames a second.

    Has anyone tried the Gnash software/plugin instead of Flash ... any better?

    Regards
