Okay thanks, yeah I can view it after installing that.

In fact, I've been able to reproduce the issue myself on an i945 system (my i965 system is currently experiencing bug 191027).

This is a video tearing (aka screen tearing) issue due to some problem with textured video running under compiz. I notice that if I run gstreamer-properties and switch from Xv to no-Xv, the issue goes away (and scaling still works properly). Since that seems to be a viable workaround, I'm dropping the priority a notch.

Possibly this is related to bug 201596. It might be worthwhile to experiment setting 'Option "TexturedVideo" "false"' (or "true").

It might also be worthwhile to test against version 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu4, before the new hw_overlay patch was applied; googling around a bit shows that some people saw a change in how Xv worked in Compiz at that point.
