Hello.

I'm running VLC 1.1.6 (Intel 64-bit) on a core i7 4GB RAM Macbook Pro.

I saw I'm not the first to notice the following problem:

I open my mkv file, and it starts normally, but as it gets to the end it becomes choppy and almost all of the computer's memory is occupied. After I close VLC and perform a purge, everything goes back to normal. If I run the same file in Quicktime I have no such problems.

Have you disabled memory mapping?
"Input Codecs -> Access Modules -> MMap -> Use file memory mapping"

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you!

hi,

i'm trying to find this option in the Preferences to try and fix it and can't - help please?

thanks in advance.

Once in Preferences, are you clicking the All option at the lower left before looking for the setting as indicated above.
