Overclock RPi4

Quote from mirbg

Which remote would you recommend the most?

I like the WeChip G20 RF Remotes, they are well supported, cheap/a bit basic, but very snappy and functional.

RPi4 will be 'faster' with overclocking but it's 'fast enough' in stock configuration.

Definitely not true for VC-1@1080p content, see my post here I made currently:

[Pi 4] Lots of frame drops when playing high bitrate VC-1

I noticed that playing VC-1 endoced files leads to alot of dropped frames. In the first two minutes of the Blu Ray rip of The Boure Identity it says 86 dropped frames in the ctrl+shift+o overlay.

The problem seems to be that the PI 4 does not have hardware acceleration for VC-1, unlike the Pi 3, and that the CPU is not quite powerfull enough to decode it via software. What make me belive that is

• There are alot of dropped frames when playing h.264 when hw-decoding is deactivated, but no dropped

Overclocking the Pi 4 solved all stuttering issues in my case.

Just wanted to mention here additionally, it may help others.
