The VideoLAN Forums

My wife has a Lenovo V510 i5 7th Generation that I tried the video in question on and it does the same kind of tricks. I certainly thought age was a problem at first. I did mention I had tried numerous other computers on the 18th March . The other computers belong to my daughter's household are i3 D...
