How to cancel delay between two video files

I am using
Version: 0.8.4 (32-bit)
of Qt 4.7.4
MPlayer SVN r35966
Windows 7 64-bit SP1

I have dragged alot small videofiles (all same H264 encoded) into playlists and start playing the playlist. But I get a slight delay at the end of each files before playing the next.
This quite annoying during a presentation. Is this a known bug, or any settings needed to be done there.

You can try to set the cache to 0, that can reduce the delay. Anyway the delay may happen because smplayer runs the mplayer process for each file, and mplayer may take a time to load.

There's a trick to avoid that. Open the playlist using the option Open -> URL and type there the full path to the playlist. With this option all files in the playlist are played by a single mplayer process.
