I have 1080p 60fps video that I took with my GoPro Hero4 and want to play on my linux desktop.
When I try to use Totem to watch the videos, it always plays them in slow motion and the sound cuts out after watching for 3 seconds. If I move haead to another point in the video, the sound starts again but then cuts out.
When I use VLC player, the sound works properly, but the video is so choppy and pixelated it is unwatchable.
These issues occur whether I watch the videos from my PC hard drive or portable hard drive.
Do I need to install new video drivers? I have an old Dell Vostro 1710, so it is possible that something is out of date.
Edit: I dual boot with Windows 7, and the videos play great with WMP.

This turns out to be a hassle in some cases using an old LTS Ubuntu. You may find the following command line useful
This will considerably downgrade the video and take some time. It sets the frame rate to 25; 30 might be better but in my case I needed 25. In the end though, the output video works and solves my problem.
