When I select VLC's http streaming option, is it really streaming, or using progressive download similar to what a web server would provide? If it's progressive download, then is there any advantage over a plain web server? From what I've read, streaming offers the following main benefits: - ability...

Hi, I'm trying to stream an iPod Nano video file (H.264) across my LAN using VLC's HTTP streaming. I'm able to hear audio on the VLC client, but the video is black. I'm able to see the video locally on the server, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the Nano encoding. I ran the same test with ...

works great CPU: Intel Atom 330 1.6GHz dual core, SSE3 GPU: Nvidia ION OS: Windows 7 64-bit codecs: H.264 with MP4 container I tested both the IronMan trailer (1920x800) as well as output from a Flip HD (1280x720). Both worked with GPU acceleration, and both failed without this option. On a separate...

Awesome, that did the trick! My aggregate CPU usage went from 50% down to 10%, all the cores/threads look nice and quiet, and the video quality is great.

Yes, I have a dual-core Atom along with the Nvidia ION. Are you thinking one of the cores is at 0% and the other is close to 100%? I'll have to see how Windows Task Manager reports CPU utilization when there are multiple cores.

Thanks, that was a step in the right direction. The video still skips (every 10 sec. or so), but it's much better than before. The strange thing is the CPU utilization is less than 50% with or without changing the loop filter, so it seems like a compatibility problem as opposed to horsepower.

Hi, I bought a Flip Mino HD, and I'm having problems playing its video using VLC. The audio sounds fine, but the video updates only 1 frame every few seconds, and skips the frames in between. I was wondering if anyone has run across this problem, and whether there's a workaround. It plays fine using...
