The VideoLAN Forums

Then how do I optimize it so the video doesn't freeze in the middle? It's very annoying with all of the stopping and starting.

I apologize if this has been asked and answered already, but I did look for it.

Why does VLC Player buffer (mainly video) files that are on my hard drive? These are files that are 100% downloaded and need no Internet at all to play them. How do I fix this?

Thanks !
