Recent issue w/compressed videos

[jmoneyyourhoney]

For about 1.5 years the VLC compression tool was my best friend. However, I haven't been able to compress a video within the past couple of months without a glitch occurring during the start-up. The audio seems to play fine, but the actual video delays some 5-8 seconds before appearing.

Is this a common, easily fixable issue? I figured installing the most recent update would sort out a bug, but nope...still there. Have I overused it and now it's rebelling against me? Is there some box I may have accidentally unchecked during the first unsuccessful attempt?

I have Windows 10 if that helps at all.

Thank you!
