I can confirm this problem, it's still present in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. Versions are Totem 2.20.0 and GStreamer 0.10.14. My problem is exactly the same, I experienced non-fluent video playback with the "H264" codec (I'm sure it's not my hardware, because the same video file plays fine on my Windows XP dual-boot) and also spotted a green artifact in the video once.

I'm disappointed that this bug has been reported three months ago, was given a low priority, and still is present in Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy. All due respect to the hard-working Ubuntu developers, but this bug should have received a high priority and it should have been fixed for Gutsy. H.264 is a very popular codec, and with this bug it's such a pain to watch video files encoded in H.264 that I have to boot Windows XP to be able to watch them properly.

Because the Ubuntu developers haven't done anything with this bug yet, I guess it would be better if I'd file a bug report for this bug in GStreamer's bugtracker directly.
