I personnaly noticed some small improvements using Windows over Ubuntu, regarding Video Decoding. But 720p videos, without streaming, using VLC, that should work. Sorry for that, the 945GM really isn't made for 2014. This occurs both on Windows 7, 8.1 and Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04. Now, speaking from experience with a similar GPU (GMA 3150, which is supposed to be a little faster), you can play 720p HD video with VLC, but no 1080p and flash-html5 video decoding is awful (youtube, for example). Modern HD videos in MPEG 4 or VC-1 can not be decoded with the graphics card. the chip is able to accelerate the decoding of MPEG2 videos and supports Motion Compensation (2 HD Streams simultaneously). If the problem lies with the specs insufficient to play HD movies, should I buy a graphic card or is it the CPU that it is too slow and I need to just resign myself to get a new laptop?

So my question is: is this problem with Ubuntu? if I install iOS Luna or another distro or even (yuck) putting on a Win7 would I be able to play movies normally? I think the laptop specs should be enough for at least a 720p movie and I use mainly my laptop for movies as it is connected to my tv.

The drivers are correctly installed and everything seems kosher, if it wasn't that performance is very bad. I have found many users complaining about this running ubuntu, with my same exact model. I worry the problem is maybe with the integrated intel graphic card. I have run terminal -top to check CPU consumption and it looks high, when I play movies it goes up to 120 or 130% consumption, but I think this is still ok, since it's a dual core, so maximum should be 200%, right? I at first thought that this could depend on the slow CPU. Sometimes even on youtube, which is automatically set at low res, 360p, the play stutters and this is certainly not the internet which is 500mbps and also streaming is fully pre-loaded. If I press pause and wait for a minute, the CPU seems to "cool down" and I can resume playing without problems. Mostly they work fine, but every once a while VLC starts stuttering and pixelating. With 720p movies the situation is a bit better. I stopped getting 1080p movies altogether to avoid these frozen states.
Whenever I play movies that are 1080p, VLC starts stuttering like crazy, the whole system basically jams, CPU consumption goes through the roof and even firefox is so slow. I am on a Dell Latitude D430, Intel® Core™2 CPU U7600 1.20GHz × 2, 2GB Ram, Graphics Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2 and running Ubuntu 14.02 32bit.
