The log file in my original post shows video codec CPU usage of 19% and video_out CPU usage of 75%. Are you referring to the 75%? And it should be below 20%? If this is so, then is this is the source of my problem? > With vc ffmpeg12vdpau, CPU usage is around 2%. > A/V sync is fine in all cases, it does not matter (much) if I use -ac > a52 or -ac > ffac3. When I run mplayer -vc ffmpeg12vdpau KTXLtest_1225_for_5_1280x720_60hz_ts.mpeg2 the dropped frames start at zero seconds. Adding -ao alsa::device=hw=0.3 gives me 3 min 22 sec of play before frames are dropped. There's a minor problem comparing the clip you have and mine. The sample you have been using, KTXLtest_1225_for_5_1280x720_60hz_ts.mpeg2, is corrupted; you have only 30 seconds of a 5 minute clip. For what follows, I've switched to test_episode_1602_1280x720_60hz_ts.mpeg2, which you should also have. The full clip is just one minue, so its easier to do timing. When I run mplayer -vc ffmpeg12vdpau test_episode_1602_1280x720_60hz_ts.mpeg2, dropped frames start at zero seconds also. > To test that you do not have an alsa issue, try: > time mplayer KTXLtest_1225_for_5_1280x720_60hz_ts.mpeg2 -nosound > -benchmark > It finishes after 20sec for the usual vo's for me (with your 30 sec > sample).

If it shows I don't have an alsa problem, why is that? What is the significance of "TS_PARSE: COULDN'T SYNC"? How t oI interpret the BENCHMARK numbers?
