Hi,
I'm trying to play some mpeg4 and h.264-encoded video files with pix_film in Ubuntu 10.04, and it is terribly slow: it reads about 4-5 frames per second and eat 100% of the CPU.
The files have aproximately 900x500 resolution, which is nothing exagerate; and even Adobe Flash Player can reproduce the same files seamlessly at their full (25fps) rate without consuming more than about 40-50% of the CPU.
Any idea of what the issue can be? Is it the codecs? I guess I have whatever codecs came with the Ubuntu distro. Are there any codecs with better performance that I should insall? Or is this the best performance I can expect under linux?
Thanks m.
