How come my AVI plays REALLY REALLY slow under avi-xmms?
Keep in mind that AVIs are still played through the original win32 dlls, therefore there is a small tranlation layer involed. Secondly, the guys who write avi-xmms, did not implement the CPU Quality slider, therefore it will default either to 1 (lowest), or whatever was last selected when you played the file with the aviplay. So to reset this, run the file with aviplay and set your preference, and then re-run it in with xmms.
