I don't know how proven ext4 is... It'll be a good excuse to get me doing regular backups though, just in case. In my experience 9.10 doesn't boot up any faster than 9.04 did, some people suggested that it would (because of ext4)
I didn't really know how much space I'd need for apps etc so I made the partitions even. I probably won't fill either of them, the bulk of my media is stored on a 4TB RAID10 array in a different PC.

Is there any proof that ext4 is better than ext3? Ext3 is proven. It reminds me of people pushing Reiser, while in fact, it caused a ton of data loss throughout the world - including me...
200GB each? The Linux partition doesn't need anywhere nearly that much. It's your /home partition that needs space and gets reused across different installations.

Yeah that's what I've done this time. I formatted my 9.04 ext3 partition so I could replace it with separate ext4 partitions for /home and /
I gave them about 200GB each. I don't need a swap partition - 8GB of RAM FTW
-
What I do is I always assign a separate partition to /home. That way, I can reboot with different version Ubuntu's, yet always get the same /home dir.
Eg. 400 GB harddrive:
- 40GB /
- 40GB left free for other OS (another, or the next Ubuntu version)
- 4GB swap
- remainder /home
Only the first two are ever re-installed on. /home remains.
This really works.

What's with the fucking German?

The vsync problem looks related to a video driver problem, can you play other movies like mpeg,avi?
Is the video driver properly installed?
STOP saying that this is 9.04. It is Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha. The first 9.10 Alpha version arrived May 14th. See the release schedule!

No that's the deal.. That's the logic in the version numbers.
