Interesting. Tried also a GeForce 550 and it was  about same speed as
the 450. After a short initial A/V desync of 10..100 ms the A/V offset
stays very close to 0 but during the elephant scene it goes up to ~1.4 sec.

(very close meaning that almost only the millisecond digit changes)

If you read this thread from the beginning I also mentioned that
the WD TV Live with its Sigma SMP8655 SoC (according to Wikipedia) is 
also not able to catch up at this scene.

In the meantime I have re-rendered this part of the movie using two pass
option in kdenlive (all other settings are same) and now the WD TV Live
is able to play w/o problems but mplayer + GeForce 450 is still to slow
but not at the elphant scene but about one minute later (not included in
the sample file).... grrr.. I yet have to learn and try to understand the
x264 options and how they affect the amount of work for the decoder.

Is there someting like a H264 disassembler available?

The elephant scene has not that much movement detail and I really 
want to know what exactly is generating so much work at the decoder.
