Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts (use the default ones) and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.

Just FYI:
Especially, to setting speeds / parameters on motherboard or to the video driver.

When googling the symptom of flicker/jerky/flutter etc in video, a number of hits are mentioning that
"hardware acceleration" property MIGHT be the cause.

Note that enabling or disabling of this acceleration can be done 'globally' (at the video DRIVER level), or instead
at various separate APPLICATION level. e.g. many of modern browsers have a setting where you can disable
acceleration, if your symptom is when you're viewing video in a browser.

My comment is just food-for-thought. This whole area of resolving 'flutter/jerkiness' etc is a very
DIFFICULT problem to troubleshoot and/or fix. That said, let's all continue to try to solve these
issues.

Carry on !
