(and this is just one of the quirks I see)

probably gstreamer and friends is sucking too much of your cpu with overhead and thus pixelation occurs due to lack of cpu time for realtime high quality decoding.

I repeat, try vlc and/or mplayer with its firefox plugins which imho has much more optimized video decoding than what the gstreamer spaghetti code provides.

Is your cpu old and/or are you playing this on battery power (so cpu doesn´t use 100% of its speed).

Quite the contrary: this is a 8-core i7 desktop with a GeForce GT9800. It should handle any videos just fine ;-) (as it always has done until F18). There's clearly something wrong, I just don't know exactly what it is. CPU usage doesn't spike too much while watching videos.
