Hi, I'm having an issue with watch DVDs especially in full screen, they appear to be stuttery I think this is due to my graphics settings for Beryl as when using Compiz I don't get the video problems, in the rendering path section I have selected copy else I get a white screen.

any help?

Hi, when running a dvd I can't get to full screen all it will do is go to a maximized screen. Is there a solution to this?

Where is the executable?

Hi, I ripped my DVDs to my HDD and in Windows VLC can run them no problem, under Linux though VLC just shutsdown without warning. Whats the problem?

So do VLC really... I know it supports loads of formats but I'm guessing most people will use it for DVDs.

I'm using DirectX, In my opnion it just seems to look better with PowerDVD, I still don't want to use it though lol. I like VLC coz I can use it with my programs.

Hi, I was wondering why the smoothness of the movies I watch is better in PowerDVD than in VLC. I really like VLC and I use it in conjunction with programs I made, so I'd really like the same performance as PowerDVD in VLC. The movies aren't choppy or anything, it just lookes "better" on p...

No its ok now I fixed the problem, it was my USB drivers, they were corrupt or something, I reinstalled them and now everything is fine. Thanx for the help though.

No it hasn't always been doing it, its DVD format, its from an external hard drive, i havent tried it in other meida players...

I think thats about it. Oh its a fresh install so I haven't changed any of the settings and my sound and video drivers are the latest as is VLC.

Hi, I'm getting choppy audio and video, it doesnt happen all the time but enough for it to be annoying. Can anyone help?

Yh, that didnt work but something did, using the "overlay mode" but i specifically took that off coz the overlay mode was too bright :S

any ideas?

I use the Nebula tv card and have no probs whatsoever. I use their pvr software. Do you have the component input into your card? If so just pic the AUX setting from your pvr software and it should work.

Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue with the software as the picture sort of breaks up into sections. It looks like a frame is coming late, or another frame is too early or something. I've turned V-sync on and no difference is made. I know that it is the software as I've tried other software and it doe...

I'm not getting any video in VLC 0.8.6. I am using XGL could that be causing a problem? If so how do i disable it?? :S

What do you mean "lost" it? and how do I "find" it? I've recently installed the agp drivers. This is on a laptop by the way if i dint say before. I'll try and run a dvd coz at the mo I'm running from an external hard drive.

VLC is using around 85% cpu average. I'm running a 2.4 Ghz with 768meg ram. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

When will the new version be ready without the annoying movie stutter that I and many other have experience. It definitely the player as i've followed all the advice and still nothing.

I have a similar problem, how do i check the DMA settings and if that isn't the problem then what is?

If is is a video and audio problem, how come lots of people are suffering from this now when they weren't before, and the sound and video works fine using media player?

I'm having a similar problem, I didn't have it until i upgraded my pc. I've updated all of the driveres you suggested, i tried the other sound card, and still i get the problem. Is there anything else I can do as I'm trying to create an entertainment system and its gonna be rubbish if the video is c...

even with a fairly hi spec pc?

Hi my VLC CPU usage fluctuates between low and high, how do i sort out this problem?

I've updated my sound card and video card drivers, defragmented my hard drives and reinstalled vlc, and still i get the lil skips. :S:S

VLC is drifting between 2 and 18% CPU usage, I am running ripped DVDs from my hard drive. I've turned the frameskip option off and still i get the ocational skipping in video. Theres nothing in the messages folder.

I've been experienced some jumpiness whilst watching DVDs, it doesn't happen that often, maybe a couple of times a movie but its enough to be annoying.
