The VideoLAN Forums

Try with --dvb-caching 1000 or more, its value by default is 300 ms.

Through the GUI: Advanced Settings > Input / Codecs > Access modules > DVB > "Caching value in ms"

What graphic card do you have ? (nvidia, ati, intel, ...) and what X driver are you using with it ?

I have the same problem playing DVB or any video, can you try the things that I comment in this forum thread ? --> VLC 1.1.0 XV Video Overlay not working.

Regards.
