Quite the contrary: this is a 8-core i7 desktop with a GeForce GT9800.<br>
It should handle any videos just fine ;-) (as it always has done until<br>
F18). There's clearly something wrong, I just don't know exactly what it<br>
is. CPU usage doesn't spike too much while watching videos<br>

Have you tried running top in a terminal while this is going on? It can't hurt to know what process is using most of your CPU time when the videos slow down.</blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Thks Joe, I'll try that. But it doesn't look like it's a high CPU usage issue, it looks as if video decoding is buggy.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I just tested getting rid of totem-mozplugin and installing gecko-mediaplayer (which uses MPlayer). Firefox is now able to play videos just fine, so it does seem to be some issue with Totem (or, more specifically, GStreamer?). However, gecko-mediaplayer doesn't get along well with Chrome, it simply can't load the plugin. So, either I switch back to Firefox or I use it only when I want to watch Quicktime movies.</div>
