VideoPlayer fps decrease

Question

Hi all, just curious if there is a way to stop the decrease of lag when playing a video with the VideoPlayer node.

I have a small 2MB .webm file, and my fps goes from 60 to hovering 20-25.

I have a RX 480, 60hz monitor

Just curious if this is a .webm issue? Should I use a different codec maybe?

Or, is the fps decrease just part of the video playback?

Thanks in advance

What is the resolution of video, and what is its bitrate?

Note that video decoding is performed in software, since nearly no GPU supports hardware decoding of VP9/VP8/Theora. Note that VP9 (WebM) is a fairly expensive codec, if you can spare the lower quality, using VP8 (also WebM) or Theora (OGG) may be a better option.
