 Using gmplayer (mplayer-gtk-esound-0.90.0.110_2) has reduced the video
 skips dramatically, virtually eliminating them. Options enabled with
 gmplayer (which have no equivalent with ogle or Goggles):
 
 1) Video driver chosen: X11 (XImage/Shm)
 	- enable double buffering
 	- enable direct rendering
 
 2) Misc
 	- Enable postprocessing (auto quality = 0)
 	- Cache on (size = 8192)
 	- AutoSync on (value = 30)
 
 
 The biggest changes in video synchronization were achieved with:
 
 a) enabling double buffering
 b) enabling cache=8192
 
 Now there are only small "blips" which may be due to "missing frames" in
 original video recording or mpeg generation, but they are usually not
 noticable (they don't appear to "drag" the video motion or cause it to
 "jump").
 
 The IDE activity LED is now "furious with action" (ie; blinking very
 rapidly), rather than emulating a slow heartbeat.
 
 The video output quality appears to be slightly more grainy than that
 shown by ogle/Goggles, but is acceptable. There may be more tunables
 that will assist this, but I haven't tried everything yet. All three
 programs (gmplayer, ogle, Goggles) exhibit slightly grainy/fluid
 backgrounds, but gmplayer's is somewhat more noticable.
 
 
 Note: this testing was done under FreeBSD 5.1-RC1.
