Movie display

Asked by gruzich

Playing a move the images are bad after I installed 11.04 Changing monitor Resolution doesn't help.
Desktop display is good. Surprising Windows xp display movie good. I've used Ubuntu for 2 years now. I rarely use Windows any more.

Thanks for your help

This version of your program looks better, but is a little harder to use.
Thanks
George

Had you tried playing the movies with VLC?

sudo apt-get install vlc

HTH.

Yes I have tried this program. I used it for a long time in Windows and was happy to see in Ubuntu. The display is very dark, I can make out what's happening. A video clip from the Internet on a news story is ok.
It is unusual for me to have this problem in Ubuntu. It always finds the right drivers, but not this time.
Thanks

Did you install w32codecs and ubuntu-restricted-extras

Can you also give the output of:

lsb_release -a

Thanks
