Yes. Both take some time to go further in the video. I sometimes have
to wait ~5 secs. to get the video start at the asked time, whatever
the player: Totem, MPlayer.

It should not be the hardware, as my graphic card works perfectly
under other circumstances. The CPU is also ~0% when testing, so not
this too. Same for HDDs.

Unfortunately, these are ~50 M videos, sometimes even without any
sound, and their quality is not HD, sure. They are read _locally_ so
from my local hdd to my screen: no network.

I suspect the codecs are problematic. But why would they be so?
