I'm using Powerbook G4 1.5GHz 1.5Gb RAM.

I downloaded some videos recently in WMV format but I couldn't play it in VLC player. The error message reads:
ffmpeg: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)

I've tried the hurry up option but still it does not work.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

You should try development versions.

have you tried the QT plugin called flip4Mac ?

and i would also do what j-b said to try.
