VLC for Android 3.5.7 Lately I noticed that H264 MP4 (1920 * 1080) files are playing nicely when encoding at Main/High profile Level 4.X, but stuttering (skipping frames) when the level is 5, at about the same bitrate (abt. 10 - 15 Mbps); VLC on Windows doesn't have this problem; other players on th...

I'm scratching my head on this since a few hours now: 2 Windows 10 laptops and a Synology NAS (DSM 6.2.4, hosting music folders) on a LAN. Laptop#1: VLC 3.0.12 and the NAS shows up nicely under Local Network / Universal Plug'n'Play Laptop#2: Since a few months, nothing shows up there (VLC-type hourg...

in hardware decoder, but keeping the auto deinterlace, there is deinterlacing occurring but it always results in 25 fps video, no matter the method chosen. Bob and YADIF2x should yield smooth, fluid motion (during panning, etc.) with 50i material. IOW there is no visible difference between YADIF and...

Yes, as said, when I disable 'tools -> Preferences -> Input/Codecs -> Hardware-accelerated decoding' it works fine (at the expense of significantly higher battery drain)

FYI, I am facing this problem again (deinterlacing not functioning properly, e.g. no "fluid" playback with 50i content in Bob or YADIF2x mode) This time it is on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7, with Intel Iris Plus GPU (26.20.100.7641 driver, as updated by Microsoft Windows Update) Observed wit...

Fair enough...I have to stick to the GPU driver version certified for my video editing app
I can live with HW acceleration disabled - thanks for the tip

Yes, with hardware acceleration disabled, it works fine. Who's the culprit ? It worked fine with 2.2

Just upgraded my 'old' laptop with VLC 3.0.3 This is a laptop with dual GPU (Intel HD Graphics 4000 & nVidia Quadro K2000M) and 'Optimus' technology. nVidia driver version 390.77 & Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I noticed that deinterlace only works with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (laptop display only...

hw acceleration was off (default)
when on, all is fine

here we go:
OpenSL ES (was selected y default): delay
AudioTrack (native): delay
AudioTrack (java): no perceptible delay

I use the stereo jack with headphones or the built-in speaker (no BT) if that's what you need to know (I haven't seen any audio output option in the preferences menu)

With 0.1.4, I have "pulsing" I-frames when playing MP4 video (i.e. visible jump in picture quality every few seconds)
the same files don't exhibit this problem when played with the Samsung S4 mini video player

FYI I have the same problem playing MP4 files (and perhaps others - not sure) on my Samsung S4 mini with 0.1.4

It's true that this file is playing badly in VLC 0.9.9. It is however playing fine in VLC 1.0.0-RC. Some points though: I don't know much about TMPGEnc Xpress 4 but have you tried a recent version of x264 ? Before trying another encoder (like X264), I am trying to get the best out my current encodi...

I have encoded a HD file with TMPGEnc Xpress 4, using MPEG4/AVC settings as follows: Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High@L4.0 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 1 frame Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Duration : 21s 440ms ...

Strangely, when I check Video -> Filters -> Deinterlace & choose "Bob" for "Display deinterlace mode" then save, interlaced videos do play deinterlaced, but obviously NOT using the Bob method: the apparent frame rate is 25 fps (PAL), while with Bob, the apparent fps should be...

Help anyone ! Am I the only one to have problems with VLC when playing back HD MPEG-2 files (edited from HDV material and output by Womble MPEG Video Wizard or AVID Liquid 7.2) ? Note: I have verified that this problem occurs with multiple HD (1440x1080i) .mpg (ps) files, on different Win XP machine...

I still have the above problem (even in my "other" WinXP partition, unlike what I stated earlier) Maybe this kind of errors, found in the event window during an "offending" file playback, can help t'shoot ? libmpeg2 debug: 1440x1080 (display 1440,1080), aspect 768000, sar 4:3, 25...

means I need to install ffmpeg...
does it work fine with HD MPEG (i.e. 25 Mbps MPEG2) ?

Hmmm, doing some further tests, I noticed that running VLC on another WinXP partition (with other MPEG decoder installed), the problem disappears ! So: my question: isn't VLC independent of the installed MPEG decoder ? What would cause VLC to playback the same HD MPEG2 file fine in one WinXP partiti...

I would like to revive this thread: I now have updated my system: on the software side, I use now AVID LIQUID 7.2 , which includes a number of bug fixes a.o. in the MPEG2 export area. On the hardware side, I have a E6700 Core2Duo CPU & a ATI X1950Pro GPU with Catalyst 7.7 drivers. I still have t...

I perform simple "cut" edits on a HDV (MPEG2) file using either Womble MPEG Video Wizard or Avid Liquid 7.1, then export with no conversion; the original HDV file is digitized from a SONY HDV cam. The exported .mpg file (still HDV i.e. 25 Mbps 1080/50i) plays fine in VLC except near the cu...

Any suggestion for another player that would play native HDV 1080i on a 2 Ghz Centrino, for testing as you suggest ?
WMP10 can't keep up with the 25 Mbps and skips frames awfully (maybe the PowerDVD 5 codec is the culprit ?), while VLC plays beautifuly at ~80% CPU usage

Hello VLCyers I'm using the low-cost combination CapDVHS - Womble MPEG Video Wizard - VLC 8.5 to capture, edit and playback my HDV (1080i) films in full-res. The first small tests were OK, playing back full-res HDV smoothly without dropped frames. I now have this strange problem and wonder if someon...
