video buffer
Playback data queue
A video buffer is a region of memory that holds image data before it's displayed on screen.
The buffer stores pixel information while the next frame is being prepared, preventing visual glitches and tearing.
Double buffering uses two buffers—one displaying while the other renders—creating smoother graphics: The game stuttered because the video buffer couldn't keep up.
