Hi
I installed Ubuntu with Gnome, omap3 X server and VLC. But it plays the MPEG2 720*576@25 video at few FPS only.
How to make it working? Or is there a pre-installed Linux image for it?

Unless you have an interest in getting the dsp to work with the ubuntu images.
Status: dspbridge kernel modules installed, userspace needs some tweaks
Stay with Angstrom for video playback..

Don't use vlc: try mplayer instead if you don't want to use the DSP.
On my Debian (DSP-enabled, anyway) I've copied the mplayer executable
from the Angstrom distribution and it works quite well without using
DSP (for the latter you have to use gstreamer with ti plugin for mpeg4
decoding). Still low framerate playing 720p videos, anyway, but you
should give it a try: just copy the executable and run it instead of
Ubuntu version.

Would you advise against Ubuntu for streaming video also? I am
considering an application where the BB streams video from a V4L
source over the net to something else that displays it (more
powerful). Do you see a few streams @ 640x480x15fps being an issue for
pure streaming only?
Just transferring the data to another device should be no problem with
Ubuntu on the beagle.
Heck, what codec is that 640x480x15? ffmpeg can probably handle that
just fine in software on the beagle...
It's the high end stuff h263/4 480p+ stuff that really needs a dsp...
