It's choppy during playback, yes, but I get no more pixelation when skipping around. As for...

My apologies, I restarted playback this time instead of just skipping towards an active scene. I downloaded VLC nightly 2.1.0 and tried both waveout and directsound settings under Audio. Still choppy. Also, the video remains to be pixelated and distorted every time I skip around (even on low quality...
