I noticed that the gstreamer framework seems to take all my CPU when trying to view a 32 MB DV file (which I captured from my mini-dv camcorder). I am using Python to load the DV file and play it. My computer is a Pentium 4 with a 1.8 GHz CPU and 1 Gig of Ram. I also get the same exact performance using the Movie Player in Ubuntu 8.04 (which I'm assuming uses gstreamer also). <br>
<br>Any suggestions or tips for making the video playback smoothly? If this is a problem with gstreamer, any talks of improving the performance? Just as a reference, I used Kino to play the file, and it plays the file very smoothly.<br>
<br>Thanks in advance!<br>-Jonathan<br>
