To change the settings, run "gstreamer-properties", click the Video tab
and change the appropriate settings.

You may have set "ximagesink" ("X Window System (No Xv)") as video-output.
This means, that your cpu is doing all the work. Change it to "xvimagesink"
("X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)") in order to let your graphics card do the work.


This didn't really do anything. My setting was 'default'

Re: Choppy video in Maverick
Found a solution on this thread and it seams to have fixed the problem for me.

In the terminal open the /etc/pulse/default.pa file

Code:

Sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa

In the text file search for the line below:

Code:

load-module module-udev-detect

edit the line to add 'tsched=0' to the end of the line like below:

Code:

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

Save and reboot

What actually worked

System>Preferences>Appearance - No desktop effects
