SOLVED! Sorry for taking up your time. It is working now. It seems that the only dvd I used today had no audio at all in the back channels :roll: The one DVD I got to work now did not to give any surround yesterday (I tried many of them...), but I have changed so many settings now, I am not sure wha...

I didn't know where to find VLC 2.2rc2, but I got the latest 2.2 nighly instead. I learned how to get my amplifier to display the decoding used and it is clear that it receives it from VLC as it displays either Dolby or DTS in multichannel. What is more interesting is that if I enable the center cha...

Hi, I am trying to make my MacMini(with yosemite) and VLC to play surround from DVD and DVB-T2 transmissions (with DD or DTS surround) to output surround to my Yamaha RX-V 775 amplifier. When i try a DVD or DVB-T2 transmission, I get nothing in the back channels (with any of the audio tracks) and I ...

"Choppy playback, like skipping frames, and false information on the frame rates." Still with 2.0.7.
Some DVDs and mpeg2s won't play without jerking. This has been a problem for years now.
(Ticket: #4412)

VLC 2.0.5 is still broken when it comes to some dvd:s and mpeg2s (the same jerky motion as before).

Just wanted to say that this issue is unfortunately still not fixed in 2.0.2.
(ticket 4412)

Sigh. Installed 1.20 and still jerk,jerk,jerk on (not all) DVDs and mpeg2 files (both Pal and NTSC). There is link to a test file in the Trac, ticket: #4412, If someone could please have a look at this. None of my other video players has a problem with these files/DVDs (XBMC, mplayer ext, Mplayer OS...

I'm able to change the playback speed, as per the instructions in this thread. However, this does not seem to affect the pitch of the audio, regardless of what "Enable time streching audio" is set to. Try disabling Time Strech and set Playback Speed, then Save, then restart VLC, then play...

I am not seeing any issues with the test file on my computer (MacBook Pro 15" late 2008, MacOS X 10.6.7, VLC 1.1.8 ). Frame rate is indicated as 50. I tested it again. Movement (the car on the street...) gets hickups periodically two times per second with VLC 1.1.9 on both my Mac minis 2.53GHz...

From my second post in this thread: "Jan 13: I now filed a Ticket: #4412"

There is now a link to a testfile...

In my second post of this thread: "I now also tested this on my win7 PC. Exactly the same thing!" And as I wrote above, I also tried extracting a short clip. I didn't see the point of trying playing through Fairmount, but now I also tried play a VOB through Fairmount. Same thing. I also tr...

Does it make any difference if you try copying the DVD to the HD and playing it from there?

No difference. I also tried extracting a short clip. Still no difference.
Trashing the prefs. -Problem remains.

The problem persists in 1.1.9.

VLC does try to play all regions, but doesn't manage that on dvd-drives since it is locked by the operating system or drive firmware. VLC did multiregion on my Mac mini until (about) OS X 10.5.6, the next upgrade broke it. Apple obviously originally missed stopping the drive used in this Macmini fro...

I am sad to find that VLC (1.1.8 ) since 1.1.0 still can't play many DVD:s without jerky motion. As an example VLC (after 1.1.0) can not even play non-encrypted interlaced PAL DVD:s without jerking the image about twice per second. 23.976 fps NTSC DVD:s usually have jerky motion as well. VLC reports...

I am sad to find that VLC (1.1.8 ) still can't play many DVD:s without jerky motion.
I am bumping this thread in hope of some focus on this bug (Ticket: #4412).
As an example VLC (after 1.1.0) can not even play non-encrypted interlaced PAL DVD:s without jerking the image about twice per second.

Yes I think so. It is OS X that by default caches the file, so the free memory lost will be the same as the file size read. When it comes to watching movies caching is not much use, since you normally only ready the file once. It is a different story about other stuff that is being read over and ove...

This problems comes up and is answered about each and every week... Go to Preferences-->All-->Input / Codecs-->Access modules-->MMap Deselect "Use file memory mapping". Save. Restart VLC. At some time ago MMap was enabled by default. It is now disabled (I think), but if you have had an ear...

Hi, I am trying to add a logo in the center of a 16:9 .mpg from DVB TV using the below commandline: --sub-filter "logo{file=/LOGO.png,opacity=128,position=0}" MOVIE.mpg The logo gets placed pretty far off center to the left. By setting the aspectratio to 5:4 it happens to be in the center....

Sigh. -JERKY RESULTS ON some PAL DVD as well... Today I encoded some interlaced videos from PAL VHS to PAL DVD, using FFmpegX (mpeg2enc). The resulting mpeg2 files jerks badly too 2 times per second in VLC 1.16. So it is not just an NTSC problem... (1.0.5 plays it perfectly smooth.) Sadly. VLC is no...

As answered before, to be found by simply searching this forum for "mac slow" etc (given you didn't already tried this): Have you disabled memory mapping? "Input Codecs -> Access Modules -> MMap -> Use file memory mapping" http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=82947&...

This bug has been there since at least 1.1 and reported here many times before.

On the Mac I pre-set the PAL correction to 0.96 in "Tools/Preference" selecting "all", then in "input/codecs" i set "playback speed" to 0.96 (by printing it with the keyboard). Then save and restart the movie. I do it this way, because there is no speed button...
