flv in unindexed, so can be a problem in itself.

Could be that your dropping frames for some reason.
Start the movie with VLC then press Ctrl+M to bring up the Messages dialog.
Also check dmesg | tail.
The info from those should help the list diagnose the problem.

Also some box specs will be useful.

You can of course rule out the DVD read by copying one of the VOBs to
the hard drive and viewing it from there with VLC.



Kind regards
