Video lag problem

Hi!

I have a macbook Pro 13" , Mac Os Big Sur 11.7.2.


Every video I play on quicktime or with Preview is lagging. The audio continues playing right, only image stands still for like 5 seconds.


With MKPlayer it plays fine.


How can I can correct this issue?

Thank You

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4
