For some reason, that, is hilarious... :D

You mean .../dri/nouveau_dri.so? Both base X11 and MesaLib should
bring that in.

Animated movies have lower frame/bit rates than action ones. Other than
that I don't know. Try playing a recent Michael Bay movie--even more
action (bayhem, I believe, it is called) than a Bond flick. See if the
player struggles. If it does, then your player is a video critic. Or,
it might just be scratches on the DVD.

I recommend you use `mpv' instead of vlc.
