Why does VLC start playing a video for 1 second, then stop and pixelate (stutter) before it starts playing smoothly again?
I've had this problem for years on Windows xp, vista, and win7. Maybe it's just VLC vs. windows behavior. So then everybody running VLC under windows sees this, right? But it's always driven me crazy.
Is there a setting to fix this? Why would it start playing a video instantly, only to pause/pixelate after one second, on every single video? It plays perfectly after this "startup pause".
