Comment:

 per greg wright @ real:

 it is very likely that the olpc was not powerful enough to play the ogg
 and the engine is working as intended.  helix will detect when a clip is
 too big for the cpu and scale back.  It will attempt the following:

 1) switch to key frame only mode.
 2) if still not good, switch to audio only mode.

 its possible that either:
 1) The key frames are spaced out too much in that specific clip, or
 something else specific to that clip that is causing a problem

 2) the ogg/theora codec in helix doesn't handle the scaling features
 properly


 In either case we still need the clip in question to verify this.
