The VideoLAN Forums

I guess you are asking me to isolate the streaming from the playback to see which side is choppy? I'm not very good with VLC LAN (yet) - but I will try to do this.

I will try streaming and saving to file and then replaying the stream (to see if that works okay).

I'm not sure what you mean by 'transcoding' - but I guess that'd have something to do with the video 'codec': I have theora encoding quality set to 2.

The machine I am running this on runs Windows XP Professional and has 2 gigabytes of ram installed. I do not need to run any other software while I am using VLC Lan t...

I wish to create an intentional delay of a webcam display of four seconds using VLC Lan. I can do this under advanced options, setting the cache to 4000 - however - it plays very choppy basically 2 seconds video, 2 second pause and then again 2 seconds video. I can lower the frame rate (from 30 to 1...

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for old threads but I am looking to do EXACTLY what is described here... I've followed the instructions - but for whatever reason I can not get this to work properly with any cache/delay beyond 3500 (3.5 seconds). Once I set it to more than 3.5 seconds I wind up ge...
