here i got kubuntu 10.04 and and kodak zx3 that can do 1080 videos…unluckly i have an old pc (3 years old) and of course that video can not be played well ….
i mean … audio without sync and of course it doesn’t play smoothly …
the video camera does:
720p
720p 60 frame rates
1080
the only you can use on linux with an old box like this it’s 720p but with with VLC AND MPLAYER IT SUCKS
My first solution was xine i dunno why but when i get a problem with videos i always resolve them with xine then .. with time i can solve it with others players…
1-run xine
2-select the Master of the known universe like interface… to get advanced control
3-increase the audio video buffers
4- if you have a dual core you could increase FFmpeg video decoding thread count
5-done you will find my xine configuration file down..
** configuration file for xine can be found here
kate ~/.xine/config
VLC :
On 10.04 now way to get it work nicely …
on 11.04 vlc 1.1.6 works fine , but i have disabled video effects…
MPLAYER :
mplayer -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all PATHFILE.MOV
-vf rotate=1 value = 1,2,3,4
rotation can be very handy if you don’t want re encode your videos…. 
(i use actually this :
autosync because my audio wan not totally synchronized
mplayer -ao sdl -cache 9192 -autosync 30 -vf rotate=1 -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all 100_0006.MOV
)
you could try these too
************************************************
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.
XINE WORKS!
i have increase the video and audio buffers as well as frame for seconds to 30
you could increase the cpu usage to decode too … this is my actual file …
