I'm currently running the latest LIVE install of XBMC on an Asrock ION330HT.
Standard confluence skin, vdpau turned on, 4GB of RAM with 512MB dedicated to graphics.
I haven't had any problems with playing anything up until this file. Even files that by all means should be a lot more taxing on the machine.
Here is the info for the file;
As soon as I start the file it begins dropping frames at around 3 per second according to the counter in XBMC. It also shows one thread maxed out. The thing is plain unwatchable.
There are 4 other audio tracks in the file that are commentaries. I don't think that makes a difference, but thought I should mention it.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
