[olug] NVidia and video corruption.

[Dan Linder]

Ok, my memory was incorrect.

I can play videos using VLC just fine (recorded TV and others), but
when I use the internal viewer, the video has the lines.

Here's a link to the photo in my GooglePlus stream:

I tried setting the default viewer to use VLC, but it didn't seem to use it...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan
