however, from your backend list i learn, that your h.264 file is decoded using libquicktime (since libmpeg3 won't). you could try to play back the movie with the command line player "lqtplay" (part of the quicktime-x11utils). see if this one behaves as badly (if it does, then Gem is not the culprit - it's just the backend library that is so slow)
All files play fine with lqtplay (though with some of them I continuously get the message "consumed only X bytes instead of Y").
However now I doubt about the codec. Some of the files have the .mp4 extension and others .mov, but all of them say
codec: H.264/AVC
in nautilus' properties/"Audio/Video" tab.
Lqtplay says "compressor avc1".
Does that mean they are H.264?
