Hi,
I am evaluating vmware player 4.0.1 running under Win 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1 Intel i5 4GB RAM
I've got two VM's up at the moment:
1 x XP Pro 32 bit SP3
1 x Unbuntu 11.10
Using VLC if I play a local mpeg2 (All in Windows XP VM) the lip sync is off (My guess around 300ms)
If I do the same in Ubuntu VM I get a similar discrepancy (Again, I think around 300ms. It's enough to be quite noticable)
[If I run the tests under Windows 7 host native op system it seems to lip sync fine]
(The problem also manifests in an identical fashion, under the VM's, with streaming YouTube/Flash media - i.e. a similar audio/video lag)
Two questions for you:
1/ Is it reasonable for me to expect reasonable lip sync under the VM's ?
2/ If the answer to 1 is Yes then how do I trouble shoot this?
Many thanks in advance, Stef
PS The i5 dual cores do not seem to be stressed at all (Below 20% utilization)
