no. the work is done in NuppelVideoPlay::Avsync which skips the
videoOutput->Show() call.
DoneDisplayingFrame is called in the parent function so I believe its safe.
I am making the assumption that just skipping this step still processes
frames correctly as I just skip the
rendering stage which is quite CPU intensive.

Im surprised no one else is noticing this jerky effect.
but then again maybe its my config but I cant see why.
Ill get to the bottom of it eventually.
IMO This patch is still better than the avsync alternative where the
presented frames > refresh rate of the monitor. Ill let others decide.
cheers
