Is there a way to tell VLC to run the full screen mode in the same desktop as the windowed player was (i.e. the old behavior)? Yes please. This new behaviour is driving me nuts. I have VLC usually running on the second screen with secondary things like IM popping to the front when needed. Right now...

Some people are trying to improve multi-threading in FFMPEG h264 decoder.

I am still hoping Sometimes I wish I could be a programmer

Snowrunner, you have to note that the 120% is total usage. So you must be sure that VLC itself may not go over 100% and if it is, it's likely that the display or demuxing part of it are operating on different threads (as people mentioned here). The problem is when you have 1080p being decoded in on...

Yes, i am experiencing the same with my macbook. I cannot play 1080i h264 content without stutter. I really hope the ffmpeg guys will optimize the h264 decoder soon. The CoreAVC guys are working on a Macintosh version, but i doubt that this will somehow work with VLC or mplayer and i need a splitte...

My iMac Core2Duo 2Ghz can playback H264 1080p with VLC. That's all i can say about it. Okay thanks. I guess I just grab the latest VLC build and try it out at the store and see how it performs. Any recommendation on Memory for the Mac? Does more memory help with playback or is the DVD drive / HDD f...

Exactly. FFMPEG H.264 decoder is NOT multi-threaded and with HD-TV, this makes many frames drops... Sorry you can not do anything about it... Damn :( So next question, I was thinking about getting a "TV Dedicated" Mac Mini, would it have enough horsepower to play back 720p content on one ...

This question does not mean anything... VLC is multithreaded but many codecs are not... Okay, let me be more precise ;) I am trying to play back x.264 encoded content in a Matroska container and it seems to me it is not multi-threaded? I am asking this because I have severe frame dropping on my Dua...

Out of curiosity after doing some benchmarking on my dual G5, is VLC multithreaded? It seems to me it's not?

Okay just forced a crash, log attached.

Hi guys, maybe someone has an idea. For the last two weeks or so I have VLC crashing on me pretty frequently, it doesn't seem to matter what format or codec but VLC seems to go everytime there is some searching going on in the file. Meaning: I start playing the file, then try to jump around in it, a...
