At a minimum, what video software is this, and what codec does the
video use? For the latter, use (e.g.) mediainfo to find out.
Here's the mediainfo output for one of the movies with a problem, but I'm also now seeing the same problem with the Linux zoom client where the entire computer becomes sluggish and unusable.
This happens when playing through Kodi or vlc.

Yes. This happened after a fc37 to fc38 upgrade some weeks ago. I've also installed all the latest updates since. Sorry I didn't mention this sooner, ugh.
Thanks,
Alex
