</div>Update.... a very interesting result. I looked at /proc/cpuinfo and<br>
it reported my CPU as 1GHz (should be 2.6GHz). I did some searching<br>
around and installed the cpufrequtils ubuntu package. cpufreq-info<br>
also reported 1GHz even while playing the h264 file. I played around<br>
with the different governors and only performance put the reported cpu<br>
freq up to 2.6GHz.<br>
<br>
Bottom line is with the CPU at 2.6GHz the clip played fine with<br>
perfect audio sync and 35%-40% cpu load.<br>
<br>
I have a mostly stock mythubuntu 9.04 system. Not sure why default it<br>
clocks the CPU so low.?<br>

The governors do not have any way to detect this, so they simply see "5% cpu? No need to clock up!". <br>
