Thank you for your reply and the interesting links. I wonder why I haven't found them with google. BTW the decoder always buffers 1.5MB of data before decoding. But in the case you are getting the data from a file it cannot be noticed that the buffer is that big. I'll try to change this behavior after I have solved the synchronization issue.

I just wonder > if/why the element is not properly declaring its latency. You are right the video decoder doesn't declare its latency in a correct way. I found it yesterday while debugging and looking at the code. I think if the latency query is correct the large buffer shouldn't be a problem. > Said so, a few workarounds are possible, the easiest one being an > increase in the bitrate feeding the decoder (not possible in all the > cases though). Increasing the bitrate isn't possible for me. I think the only way for me is to declare the correct latency. Curious that this haven't been done by TI itself.
