Im having a very simple app which basically just plays a video. the framerate on the video is 25 fps but in max it doesnt come above 11 fps. so the video doesnt look so very nice cause its just goes in half speed.

fps-drop-why

Try [metro 30] or better still try [qmetro 30]

i tried metro 40 that should be equal to 25fps but its down at 13 fps

Maybe the video is the problem then, it tests fine here with a simple flv. Try other videos and other formats to see whats wrong.

Is this the whole patch? You have some redundant stuff in your loadbang message (tol, fade, minkey, maxkey) that suggests you are using chromakeying or something?

no i cut this part out from a bigger patch with chromakeying just to try if it was any difference.

its a bit better with the flv file I loaded here compared to the original .mov but with the .flv its still to slow. about 16 fps instead of 25 fps.

the flv is 7mb in size, the .mov file is in 26 mb and 1920 x 1080 in size. can it have something to do with this?

any other thing I need to think about? I noticed if I have lower value in size in [jit.qt.movie 384 216] its more correct fps but then will the quality on fullscreen be pretty bad.

any suggestion for:
- good quality in fullscreen
- correct fps

Without looking at the video I can't really tell, 1920x1080 is pretty big, but I use 2400x600's mov's without too much problem. Is there a particular reason for using flv's? I use mov's with the photoJPG codec which seems to give me best results for quality and speed with large movies like this. I would certainly format the movies to whatever size you are going to use fullscreen and set the [jit.qt.mov] to match that.

fps drop. why?
