higher resolution vids take more space in the buffer, but i just realized the buffer is measured in units of time, instead of space. It might work, but if the video pauses from congestion, it will take significantly longer for the buffer to refill, so the buffer wait would be longer. they set their ...

interesting. the limitation in windows is still there though. I wouldn't expect this to work if you play HD videos of 720p or higher. When I suggested looking in the advanced options, that was actually a shot in the dark. lol

Good stuff.

I have an NVidia card as well, but I have problems using any other setting than the windows GDI interface for videos. (My system will lock up otherwise) so I can't help you on that blocky video issue. For your networking issue, what you're describing is typical of exactly what I described. It would ...

When leaving a video paused, VLC basically treats it as an active video. During active video, VLC prevents the screen saver from starting, or the computer from going into sleep, or hibernate mode. From what I can tell, this is done by design to keep these things from happening during your video. If ...

there is an option. You might have to go into the advanced options, under the UI. I can't remember exactly where the option is, but it's definitely there. Something like "Resize window to fit video"

Also, regardless of whatever hard drive error checking software you've used, I recommend opening a administrator command prompt, and running the command chkdsk X: /r (Replace X with the correct drive letter) this will tell windows to perform a thorough, surface scan of the entire hard drive, and cou...

"busy" is the operative word here. When watching videos from a network drive, if you start bogging down the network, then VLC player (or any other video player) may not be able to access the network drive in order to keep the cache full. How fast your network is has no bearing on that, if ...

Thanks for the quick reply. Your info eliminates VLC player as being the cause.

Your folder information is off just a bit. In Windows 7, it is actually located in %appdata%\roaming\vlc\vlcrc. I would assume it to be the same in Windows 8/8.1 as well. I still have 2.1.5 installed on my laptop. I went to an earlier version in windows 8.1. In windows 7, the demux setting was alrea...

it's not a windows 8.1 issue, because the exact same thing happens on my windows 7 machine, which uses the same version of VLC as the desktop version.

Your explanation is a tad bit confusing. Did you mean to say that you are currently using 2.0.8? Where do i get earlier versions?

Ok... since those don't work, and you're using windows 7 (this also applies to windows 8, and 8.1) Open a command prompt as admin, and run the command "sfc /scannow" without the quotes. Also run chkdsk on all drives with the /r switch. this will run 5 stages, instead of the normal 3, which...

try uninstalling the program using revo uninstaller. Revo uninstaller removes all traces of the program, and any custom settings. This can help if some settings, or registry values got corrupted. if you have any custom video codecs installed, you should remove those, as they may conflict with VLC. A...

Some things to check that may, or may not help you... check the refresh rate of display 2 to ensure that it is 60htz non-interlaced (1080p) Some computers default to 30 htz interlaced for that resolution (1080i) which can cause some problems. Check to ensure that VLC isn't set to crop, or zoom your ...

Windows 8.1 64-bits VLC 2.1.5 32--bits The open folder option in the playlist shows the folder itself when it's added, but never adds the files. Double clicking on the added folder in the playlist does absolutely nothing. After doing a search, I saw a suggestion in the linux forum to reset VLC prefe...
