I don't see the problem with two test videos; one is 10 seconds and one is 10 minutes (which I used on loop to check CPU temps.) Big Buck Bunny plays correctly. Most likely the issue is this video, and I'd appreciate any help in figuring out how to fix it, since it's what we need to project. (It's for a museum. The video was probably hacked together by someone who didn't know much about video editing.)
I know pretty much nothing about video. I'm expert in audio and Linux.
I'm using desktop, fullscreen (`cvlc --fullscreen`.) Display resolution is 1080P (1920x1080.)
It's amusing that audio and video were encoded in 1958, a week before my first birthday.
