Your Core i5 should have graphics with VA-API (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API) support,

  I tested your assertion (on a clip with 48 frames/sec) and I could not get the video to skip. So, strike the part of my previous comment about 1080p video. (Maybe Adobe's notorious Flash Player for OS X was the cause of the skipping I observed in the past. If you give VLC a .flv file, does VLC use Adobe's player to play it?)

    It does not. FLV is just a container format for MPEG-4 video (and possibly other codecs).

      Kind of true, but I can still believe flash itself is the slow-down (from someone who once ported flash to a smartphone and saw the code and all)

        Indeed, we are in agreement -- because FLV is a simple container format, it indicates that VLC is not using Flash Player, and is in fact notably more efficient in decoding.
