I'm trying to play videos on my game, but it's lagging so much.

My computer: Godot version: v3.1.beta3.official OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit (MATE 1.20.1) CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz GPU: (some onboard "Intel HD Graphics" from life) * RAM: 4 GB DDR3

Original video (MP4): Size: 40,7 MB Res: 1920x1080 * FPS: 59.81 FPS

OGV video: Size: 36,7 MB Res: 1920x1080 * FPS: 59.94 FPS

WEBM video: Size: 22,4 MB Res: 1920x1080 * FPS: 59.94 FPS

It's Godot problem? It's my computer problem? How can I load high quality videos without lag so much? Thanks for attention!

As Godot uses the libtheora and libvpx libraries directly (instead of something like FFmpeg due to licensing), it can't use the GPU to decode videos. Therefore, it's going to decode videos on the CPU, which is slow unless you have a fast CPU (and the i3-3217U is quite slow).

Make sense! Thank you!
