VLC Glitches, gets stuck in a loop? Help appreciated

[dr_zoidberg590]

In the last few days I have noticed VLC glitching a few times a day. The image freezes, and around 10 seconds of audio repeats on a loop, and the window becomes unresponsive. I couldn't find much reference to anyone else having this problem much less a solution. I have tried re-installing, and have reverted back to the automatic video option after I was on openGL but it hasn't fixed it.

Any ideas?

thanks

I have the same problem. But even WMP is getting stuck. I believe in my case its due to a sort-of faulty hard drive. Check if your hard dive is faulty.

Yes, turns out that was the cause.
