playing 4K smoothly on 2.2.2

Postby velinraconte » 01 Apr 2016 08:11

Hello and thank you. To view 4K material on my macbook pro, there us annoying stuttering. Is there a workaround? I The clips are .mxf files. Thank you for your help!

The macbook pro = Processor - 2 GHZ Intel Core i7, Memory - 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, and software is OSX 10.8.5 (12F2560)

The VLC interface looks like this, under Input/Codecs:
Record directory or filename:
(a blank window) (browse)
Network:
Edit detault application settings for network protocols
Caching:
Default Cashing Level (Normal), other options are ("Custom", then "lowest latency" to "highest latency", several levels of...)
Codecs/Muxers:
Hardware Acceleration (Automatic), other options are ("Video Decode Acceleration Framework VDA", and "Disable")… "DxVA" is not on the list of choices.
Post-Processing Quality is currently set at ( "6" )
Repair AVI files is currently set at ("Ask for action")
(blank check box) Use RTP over RTSP (TCP)
Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding, currently set at ("None"), other options are ("Non-ref, Bidir, Non-key, All")
(CHECKED BOX) Preload MKV files in the same directory.

What does the messages window indicate? Additionally what codecs are being used and does converting to MP4 with Handbrake help?
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.
