It was a pci card, actually a fairly high end card (B-gears B-enspire). And it started glitching with digital audio (Over toslink). 2 days ago, before i figured out the issue, the analogue outputs were starting to die as well. The analogue outputs dieing is what tipped me off to it going bad.

The current audio device setting just lets you change what type of audio it outputs, not actual audio devices (I.E. Analog output vs SPIDIF on a different card)

I know i have 2 sets of speakers running off my computer, and it's a bit of a hastle to change the output when i want to use a movie, then change it back. Would it be hard to put a feature in VLC to choose the audio playback device and have it save the setting? Maybe different playback devices depen...

Figured out what was up. The analog output on my sound card was going bad, causing ripples of failure throughout my computer.

Well, if you know how to get a clip off of it without re-encoding it, let me know.

The file is 18gb in size and it's off of a privite torrent site, so unless you're a member of PtP, then i can't, sorry.

Nope, ATI 4870.

Also, it's not just me that's having the issue with this file, on the website i downloaded it from, everyone says it either doesn't play with vlc or is choppy.

It works in WMP, but WMP is using the K-Lite codec pack to play it, and there is no video at all in version 1.0.3

So my core 2 quad at 4.0 Ghz is not fast enough to decode it? Or is my 320Gb Velociraptor the weakest link? I specifically said in the post that it's not my hardware, but no matter what, the first post always tries to call out the person on their hardware. I tried to use version 1.1.0, but the playb...

I want to start out by saying that this issue occurs in only one media file i have while the rest play back just fine, so the issue is not to be found in my hardware. I am trying to play back a 1080p, x264 copy of In the Shadow of the Moon, and it would play the audio, but not the video. So i went a...

So there is a leak with MKV? If it's confirmed and known about, that's all i can hope for.

i upgraded to rc4, and it played fine for 1 movie, but now it's leaking memory agian. ive tried every other output (None other than default worked), tried turning off subtitles, tried reinstalling it, but the leak is still there. The strange thing is that when i add up all the memory being used in p...

Nope, i get the same issue with every output module.

i downloaded the program, and it doesn't say that VLC is slowly eating ram, although the total usage is increasing by about 2MB per sec. the memory is quickly released after i kill VLC.

Hea all, ive been experiencing problems when im playing .mkv files with VLC. The movie start's out perfectly, but about 30 minutes in, video becomes very choppy and sound cuts in and out. When i go to the task manager, it says my memory usage is 100%. it says vlc is using less than 100mb of memory t...
