Poor HD performance with appsink

[Gordon Nickel]

Hi Tim,

Enabling QoS with 20 millisecond lateness did the trick! Both video and audio are playing great at all resolutions!

Many thanks!

Haven't looked at your code in much detail, but you're already using sync=true, so that's good. You should probably set the max-lateness value to something, for video sinks the default is 20ms IIRC. This makes it still render frames even if they're a bit late. You might also want to enable QoS by setting the "qos" property to TRUE, which will allow the video decoder and/or filters to skip some processing and catch up again.

Cheers
