video in slow motion

3 days ago my linux kernel was upgraded (3.16.4-1 -> 3.17.1-1). When I play a video file the sound is normal but the video is in slow motion. Before video was not a problem. I have a nvidia geforce 6200 video card.  I tried downgrading the kernel but that doesn't solve it. I use the nouveau driver. I have an AMD Sempron(TM) 2400+ processor on a asus A7V8X-X motherboard. What can I do to solve this?

There is no problem when I play the video files in Windows XP.

Re: video in slow motion

Did you reboot after downgrading / upgrading the kernel?
What other packages did you upgrade, what application are you using to play the video, what's the output of said application when you start it from the terminal?
Anything interesting in the logs or systemd's journal?

Re: video in slow motion

I would give the nvidia-304xx a try.

Re: video in slow motion

The following packages were updated when linux was upgraded:
enca (1.15-1 -> 1.16-1)
linux-firmware (20140828.13eb208-1 -> 20141009.0e5f637-1)
linux (3.16.4-1 -> 3.17.1-1)
lirc-utils (1:0.9.1.a-5 -> 1:0.9.1.a-7)
python2-pillow (2.6.0-1 -> 2.6.1-1)

Since the 24/10 there is an error message in systemd's journal:

Oct 24 13:41:36 001 kernel: nouveau E[  DEVICE][0000:01:00.0][0x80000080][de023100] failed to create 0x00000002, -13
Oct 24 13:41:36 001 kernel: nouveau E[  DEVICE][0000:01:00.0][0x80000080][de023100] failed to create 0x00000002, -13

There is no output when I start smplayer from the console. In vlc there is no problem. In smplayer the video playback slows down when I maximize the window using maximize button of the window itself. When I resize the window to its maximum manually or use the full screen button of smplayer, then there is no problem. It appears to be a problem with smplayer, because in mplayer there is no problem when I maximize with the window using the maximize button.
I tried nvidia-304xx yesterday, but that didn't help.

Re: video in slow motion

The error with nouveau doesn't sound good, 304xx should work better.  Try mplayer instead.  Check to see if you have all the vdpau's installed.

Re: video in slow motion

I already had plans of reinstalling because I want to use lvm. So, after reinstalling the slow video disappeared. I used the nouveau driver for my nivdia video card again. The error message about nouveau disappeared as well.

Nomorewindows, what do you mean by ALL vdpau's? Pacman says I have libvdpau installed.
