What type of video files and at what size? How many clips are playing on one machine at the same time? What is the display resolution? The Intel graphics have some problems above usual desktop sizes and shader performance is really horrible too.
Try increasing the gemwin frame rate above 30 or to run it at the refresh rate fo the display (60 for LCD).

- I'm just about to try to cut back on background system processes
on some MiniMacs I've got playing QT video files using GEM - they seem to intermittently miss frames, there are 5 intel machines running and usually 3 or 4 are playing cleanly and 1 or 2 dropping frames for a while. I'm hoping that cutting out some background stuff will help. I think that it is a problem that was not there with G4 MiniMacs, but will check - any hints as to what I should be looking for that can be safely turned off? or is the new architecture with the intel grahpics chipsets etc just not up to the job?
