Comment 90 for bug 626974

I have solved my problems. Maybe there would be some help for James Kittsmiller.
1. Can't play video. It's the mplayer issue.
The cause was the mplayer couldn't find libvdpau.so.1. Just re-install libvdpau in synaptic and it goes well.
2. The compiz issue.
Just check the version of the compiz. It may be too high(like 0.9.0). Downgrade it and everything will be fine.
The packages are as below:
compiz
compiz-core
compiz-plugins
compiz-gnome
compizconfig-backend-gconf
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-bcop
Totally remove them, and re-install them,then reboot and enjoy your 3D effects.
