image skipping

[Tommix]

I´m running VLC on a AMD 64 3500+ with a ASUS EN7800gtx TOP graphics card.
When I try to run movies for example xvid-compressed from my hard-drive and dvd´s the image skips (a little) almost like it´s running a bit slow, it makes movement in the movies jerky. It´s very annoying.
I´ve tried to prioritize vlc in the cpu-preferences and
I´ve tries to close all open apps that I could find to no effect.

What should I do?

What version of VLC??

Does this problem also occur for other formats or just XviD??

Have you tried another player with some of the XviD files you are having problem with??

Your answers here will help!

What container format?

What container format?

Ya! I assumed avi as this is most common for XviD. But it could be anything mkv, avi, ogg or even mp4.

I solved the problem myself, to answer your questions, i have the latest version of vlc and i trie numerous other player with the same result.

turns out i was a thing called Asus splendid (not so splendid) that was the cause of my problems, when I turned it off all of my films and player played smoothly.

Thank you for your attention, hope this post will help others with the same problem

I have the same problem with my Asus 6600LE, but how did you turn off the "Splendid thing"

Just a few days a go my computer was running fine. Until i install a ASUS A9550. everything else in the computer is working. Games runs smoothly, except for Second sight. VLC media player began to run slow. Movies were running but it was kind of Choppy. Need help!
I'll keep trying to fix it.

Given that you want to continue this post without giving the proper information. I assumed the the card in question was an nVida chipset but instead it is a Radeon 9550 SE of which I had to go search for. Also given that your problem started with the install of this card it would be logical to assume that:

1. the drivers are not 100% compatible with the version of DirectX you are running

2. or the drivers need updating.

3. I suppose it is also possible that the old card was not uninstalled properly, but if you uninstalled the drivers before removing the card from your computer, everything should be fine.

The version of DirectX should be 9c and the last runtime update was in Feb 06 and is not automatic. I would start with DirectX and then move to the drivers.

If you want to prove this for yourself try opening VLC Settings, Preferences, Video, Output Modules and using the pull down to select "Windows GDI video output". Then save, restart VLC and try to call a file.
