I encounter problems when playing H.264 (not tested with others) encoded videos with VLC or others players (tested MPlayer, Totem not playing the video just the sound). I'm sure it's about driver but I don't know how to fix it. I tried to install proprietary drivers from AMD but after rebooting I can't log in (only Terminal). My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 8 series. I don't know if it's related, I boot with nomodeset option.
Thanks for your help.

for me SMPlayer works the best and it plays h264 flawlessly. Did you install sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? and after installing new driver you need to configure X to use it properly. How to config AMD and this can also come in handy.
