I reiterate this question: but for VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower.
Earlier advice for older versions suggests that Tools>Preferences>select radio button = all>Input/Codecs>Access modules>File should offer a menu to set the default value for "Caching": that is no longer the case.
I am playing Blu Ray films under Windows XP SP3 on a Pioneer BDC-S02 (purportedly the equivalent of a Pioneer BDC-202) and 20-25 minutes into the BD I am getting lagging and hesitation. VLC paints a very interesting picture on the time and progress bar which suggests that "pausing" might help - it does not.
By restarting and goosing the "Cache" value in the Media>Open Disk>select up and down push menu = Caching to a value of 600 ms, I have gained an immediate improvement. But the lagging and hesitation problem is now reasserting itself about 50 minutes into the Blu Ray film [Hart's War with Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell).
So M. Jean Baptiste Kempfe: Qu'èst -ce qui se passe. Je vous en prie: au secours! Nous nous noyons. Gurgle gurgle gurgle.
These guys at VLC are so so cool: Pioneer and Microsoft did everything in their power to try and made sure that I'd never watch a BD Blu Ray on my Windows XP Computer.
