[Bug 1165653] Re: Firefox html5 video performance

[madbiologist]

Bhaavan Merchant - Unless the HTML5 videos on YouTube are encoded in
MPEG-4 the necessary kernal and mesa components are in Ubuntu 14.04
"Trusty Tahr".  Your GPU doesn't support hardware-accelerated decoding
of MPEG-4.  You will still need to extract the firmware as described at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/

You will also need Firefox 26 or later for the HTML5 video gstreamer
support and will have to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad,
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.  If you want to use
the gstreamer 1.0 versions (gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0
-plugins-ugly and gstreamer1.0-libav) you will need to wait for the
upstream Mozilla developers to fix
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806917 - they are getting
close.

Jarno Suni (jarnos) - as you have different hardware you have a
different (although similar) bug.
