This is a 1080p video, and you are using glimagesink. It is possible 
that the CPU-based frame copies are using up too much bandwidth/CPU 
time. Re-run with 2,*imx*:5,*imxvpu*:9 .
Also, if possible, try what happens if you replace the glimagesink with 
a fakesink (but set the fakesink's sync property to TRUE). If the 
framedrops then stop, then it is most likely the CPU copies that cause 
the problem.
