in "auto 1" mode, Gem will increment to the "next" frame in each
render tick. "next" means that #125 will follow #124 regardless of the
actual fps of the video.
since your video is encoded with 30fps and the default tick-time in
Gem is 20fps you will play the file at a reduced speed.
the simplest solution is to raise Gem's framerate.


as others have pointed out, the "blurring" will most likely come from
inter-frame compression where you are trying to access non-keyframes
and the used backend (most likely gmerlin, according to your settings)
does a bad job at reconstructing the image.
