I actually don't have stutters and pauses, I pause manually, and have no more video (just few frames and it stops) after resuming.Been having same issue with VLC playing DVD images
Pauses, skips stutters, VLC is dreadful
still haven't found a solution yet, just put it down to VLC being buggy
Output module or HW acceleration?Try changing the output module. See this thread: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=155421
Ironically, I literary installed a copy of fresh Windows 7 yesterday on another disk, and the issue still persists.Possibly due to a corrupted file somewhere. To fix open vlc and hit Ctrl + P to open prefs and then click the big Reset Preferences at the bottom. Exit and restart vlc.
When the song changes.When does it popup?
