This is a quite high resolution file.
Is this on a "native" machine or in a virtual machine?
What is the CPU use level when this happens?

[Sudesh (sudeshc-deactivatedaccount)]

Can reproduce this issue on both physical and virtual machine , on physical machine cpu usage is 50% whereas on virtual one it is 75%-90% .

What is your graphics card on the physical machine?

[Sudesh (sudeshc-deactivatedaccount)]

Graphic card is Intel(R) G33/G31

[Guillaume Emont (guijemont)]

This looks like a limitation of the graphics hardware. How do other 720p files work under the same conditions? Do they skip frames?

As far as Earth-The.Power.of.the.Planet.mkv is concerned there is already a bug #303132 for it regarding frame skiping.But the video elephantsdream-720-h264-st-aac.mov plays very well and smoothly.

Please check this file again with Moovida, the GStreamer build has been updated and HD playback is improved

The video Discovery.Channel.100.Greatest.Discoveries.mkv plays much better than before, but still this issue is there to a lesser degree.

The video Discovery.Channel.100.Greatest.Discoveries.mkv skips more frames on windows 7 compared to vista.On vista/xp video plays better compared to windows7.

Can you compare with fullscreen playback with VLC?

[Sudesh (sudeshc-deactivatedaccount)]

 The video Discovery.Channel.100.Greatest.Discoveries.mkv skips more frames on VLC 1.0.0 as compared to when played on Moovida.

[Sudesh (sudeshc-deactivatedaccount)]

The previous comments about video Discovery.Channel.100.Greatest.Discoveries.mkv playback on VLC were based on windows7 VM on mac parallels ,when tested on a physical windows7 machine the video plays well on VLC(without skipping frames).On moovida it does skip frames.On VM VLC doesn't play videos without skipping frames.

I have tested the file again on moovida, it seem to skip few frames randomly.

[Florian Boucault (fboucault)]

That bug is I believe equivalent to bug #303132.

When fixing it please make sure the file "Earth-The.Power.of.the.Planet.mkv" plays fine without frame skipping.
