[Steve Worokevich <716799@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I have done the tests as suggested hence I had noted that Open Shot appears to 
be the best chance. I have also done some editing with the smaller files 
including standard def .avi files. Even though hardware speaking, I have 
enormous processor speed and vid card with plenty of RAM and on board RAM being 
about 6GB, it is difficult to edit exactly where I want. The playback video must 
catch up. I will consider looking at other codecs and possibly "dumming" down 
the quality a bit. By the way, these are my summer motorcycling videos of trips 
around Ontario. Just because of the movement - I am looking for the best 
possible definition. I noted the code that you provided and I will look at this 
and consider it.

Thankyou much Jonathan

 Steve Worokevich

Subject: [Bug 716799] Re: Poor video playback with HD video

Although previewing your HD videos in OpenShot might be very stuttery
and jerky, it should still export smoothly and correctly.  If I was you,
I would do a couple of tests with your HD clips and a few small edits,
and export to a HD format, and see how the final result looks.

Also, I would recommend re-encoding the videos as other formats, just to
see if you can't find a better performing codec.  For example, this
command will re-encode an entire folder of videos into MP4 format, which
typically works very good in OpenShot:

$ find '/home/USER/MyMovie/Videos' -iname "*.MTS" -exec ffmpeg -i {}
-acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -r 60 -vcodec mpeg4 -f mp4 -y -sameq
{}_new.mp4 \;

Good luck!

Title:
  Poor video playback with HD video

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have tried several video editors but Open Shot seems to be the best
  for Linux. However, the video playback with high def video is very
  poor. It will play back but it stumbles and breaks up the audio as
  well. I noted that the standard def vid (both high and standard def
  being GoPro cameras), works well but not the high def. This might not
  be a bug but more an upgrade if there is one?
