I'm looking to get a system together that will play back 1080P from H264/MKV. I currently have an Intel Duo core 8500, 2 GB ram, Gigabyte motherboard and a NVidia 9800 graphics board on Ubuntu 8.10 with OpenBox and proprietary driver thru envyng. I've tried both the built-in codec in gstreamer and I bought the codec from Fluendo, but every few seconds I get a dropped frame, especially with big movements. Are there any caches I can play with to figure out where the bottleneck is? Top shows elisa using around 160% cpu time, but goes up and down depending on video content.
Thanks for any input, /Hakan
