I bet you have an intel video card? What driver video have u installed? I had this problem with 2.11. With downgrade to 2.10 or upgrade to 2.12 (actually are not avaible as stable, but i can find it with koji) i solved.

by pm that i receave:


How can I know the video driver version ?


if you have an intel video card, in terminal "yum info xorg-x11-drv-intel". One of the packages is marked as installed (Repo : installed).

I also have tye same problems with some avi files.
Luckily, xine player plays them fine

I have upgraded the driver to 2.12 . But problem still remains .

I have upgraded the driver to 2.12 . But problem still remains .

after upgrade have u restarted X or the machine????

Please copy the output of "yum info xorg-x11-drv-intel" and output of "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep XvMC"

The problem, on my laptop, is with XvMC output and, another test to solve, is to disable it with an option in xorg.conf (but with 2.11 doesn't work this test on my laptop), or change video output in the player with "x11" or XVideo Extension. U can try it in vlc, tools->preferences->video->output. I don't so if is the same problem, because i have an x3100 and your notebook i found that have an x4500MHD, but the video corruption is exactly equal, so i think that is the same problem and, if is the same, in vlc when you choose XVMC you should have the corruption problem, otherwise not.

Fedora 14??? You might have better luck finding an answer in the Rawhide forum since fc14 is bleeding-edge/raw/alpha.

Actually the same problem also occurs in F13 (I have both F13 and F14/rawhide installed)
@OP: if you want to watch the video without going through much trouble, try playing them in xine player (install xine along with the xine-lib extras and freeworld from rpmfusion)

[sumanish]

I have done everything with my laptop. After restarting the laptop X gone off . The driver is not working with the FC13 .

[ValerioCMS]

what driver have u installed and what distro are you using??? For fedora 13 i have manually installed this (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=179735) and work good. For install it, "yum remove xorg-x11-drv-intel" and, after the download of the rpm packages of driver 2.12 for fedora 13, "yum --nogpgcheck install packagename.rpm"

[sumanish]

I have install that from rpm manually, version 2.12 . Half of the screen is just dancing in resolution 1024 X 768 .

Check the version of xorg-x11-server-Xorg and libdrm. I have xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.8.2 and libdrm 2.4.21-2.

[sumanish]

Sorry for that "Fedora 14" .
In my laptop xorg-x11-server-Xorg version 1.8.2
and libdrm version 2.4.21-2

have you tried to downgrade driver??? remove xorg-x11-drv-intel 2.12 and try with 2.10 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=155476). If you have already installed 2.11 driver, you can downgrade with "yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-intel", it should install 2.10.0-4 (for me the 2.10 work better than 2.11, in fact, before using 2.12, i used 2.10 denying the upgrade to 2.11 in yum.conf).

To OP.
What exactly is the type of your video file you have problem with?
What video codec VLC or other video players use to render it?
Have you try "mplayer"?
Do you use compiz? Or any other compositors?

I have never had any problem with smplayer+mplayer.

P. S.

Do you have "ffmpeg" installed on Fedora 14, if yes, have you tried to convert your video file, for example just change the video bit rate, or change v.codec to xvid or divx? You do not to convert all of your file, 10 seconds will be enough.

[sumanish]

I have compiz disabled . Even mp3 files are also playing with such type of visualization .

[jvillain]

Which backed are you using Xine or GStreamer? What type of movie files are you trying to play? Do you have problems with other formts? Maybe try an ogg version of BBB from here.
