I noticed a problem with VLC(all 2 versions) on windows 8/8.1. When I play 720/1080p MKV-s they're stuttering and lagging on some parts. I turned on the GPU acceleration but then i have image errors because of Nvidia gpu(i have latest drivers) Then i increased file and disc caching from 300 to 1000 and the stuttering and lagging was gone.
For a test I moved from windows 8.1 to windows 7. On windows 7 there was no stuttering and lagging on VLC default settings. So my questions are: why on windows 8.1 to solve the stuttering i had to increase the file and disc caching from 300 to 1000 and on windows 7 was everything fine on default settings? Is that a bug or is that stuttering only happening tome on windows 8.1? If it's a bug will it be fixed? On both os were the latest drivers installed. I don't it's a hardware problem because i have a FX 8320 and GTX 760. Sorry for my english.

Anyone???

I have an AMD APU with more than enough power, plenty of memory, and I too had this stuttering problem. But the cause of my problem was DXVA, so maybe try disabling some hardware accelerations and see if that helps.
