Beryl seems to brake videos under ubuntu 7.04

Fear not as abbot has posted up some tips on the ubuntu forums Linky!
GSTREAMER (TOTEM):
For Totem with the gstreamer backend (totem-gstreamer) open a terminal and type gstreamer-properties
Then click the Video tab and under Default Output select “X Window System (No Xv)” for the plugin. then restart totem. this will work for any video app that uses gstreamer

MPLAYER:
If you use mplayer (gmplayer) right-click on the screen and select Preferences then select the Video tab and under Available Drivers select “X11 (XImage/Shm)”
then restart mplayer. The issue here is that it won’t go fullscreen with the video. I suggest using VLC or totem-gstreamer.

XINE:
if you use xine then click File>>Configure>>Preferences
make sure under experience_level you select Master Of The Known Universe
you will then get a tab at the top for video. under driver select “xshm”. then restart xine. this also works if you are using the totem-xine backend. just run gxine at the terminal and follow the steps.

VLC:
for VLC select Settings>>Preferences then in the bottom-right of the window check the Advanced Options box. Then expand the Video item on the left and select Output modules. Then in the list on the right for Video output module change it to “X11 video output”. then resart VLC

Enjoy!
