MP3 / Video plays sloooowly
Asked by
Simon Harrison
Hi, please excuse the dumbness - I'm a complete Linux newbie, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 about two hours ago, but I'm eager to learn.
OK, trying to play MP3 / MPEG2, I've installed the restricted extras package, and let Totem install the codecs it needs.
Both Totem and Rhythmbox say that the file is playing, and you can pause and restart it.
The problem is, nothing happens. It seems that it is playing veeery sloooowly - video starts at about 0.5fps then seems to grind to a halt after a minute or so, and playing music the visualisation moves at about the same rate, if at all.
Any help appreciated...
thx, Simon
