mod videos not playing smoothly

Postby beetlebug » 09 Feb 2012 12:52

Downloaded VLC today to view my MOD/MOI movies files stored on a DVD from PC. Files open ok, yay!, but do not play smoothly - stop, start, jumpy. I did what the VLC instructions said re: preferences and module > ffmeg and 'hurry up', but hasn't improved...any tips to get files to play smoothly???

This was originally posted in another thread concerning stuttering: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=65662

* Go to VLC's preferences
* Click on "All" at the bottom of the window
* Navigate to "Input/Codecs" -> "Access modules" -> "MMap"
* Activate "Use file memory mapping"
* Save the settings and restart VLC.

Hey,

is there the "Use file memory mapping" checkbox in 2.0.0?

So, no answer for a simple polite (as my english allows me) question? The player took 6.5GB of RAM after 1h30m movie, is it ok? ...

No. If you have an nVidia driver, please update.

Thank your for the answer.

No, it's ATI 6970. Got all the latest updates (Lion 10.7.3).

It looks like the same problem (the inactive memory is taken) I've seen in a couple of old topics about it (like this viewtopic.php?f=12&t=82947)
