3.0.6: Win7-64 - jerky and choppy video playback

[MrVideo]

Win7-64 is my newest system. The first version of VLC was 3.0.3 64bit. I just upgraded it to 3.0.6, hoping to fix the video playback issues.

The majority of videos that I play are MKV wrapped H.264 files. When I play those back, full screen, they are jerky, unlike the smooth playback on my XP-32bit box. Not only is the video playback jerky, horizontal motion results in chopped (sliced horizontally) video, as if the playback is not in sync with vertical refresh. The Win7 box has a higher-power AMD CPU than the XP AMD CPU.

How do I fix this?

There are many things that can make a playback choppy, the easiest way to diagnose this is for you to provide your logs:

To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.
To fix this, please be sure before you start the playback to:

1. Open: Tools -> Messages.
2. Set Verbosity to 2
3. Start playback to reproduce your issue
4. Save text in a file or copy into clipboard
5. Then paste the full resulting log here between [​code]and[​/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)

Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

Just like the other thread, trying to set the log via the Messages menu failed to work. The file is created, but no output is placed into it.

Here is the log file.

I hope that something sticks out.

Better, but still choppy every now and them. We'll see what the next version brings.
