The VideoLAN Forums

hi...
I am on Windows XP sp2.

i compiled VLC under MSys with minimum number of codec supports and without Qt4 interface.
My aim was a lighter player.
But still it uses a large amount of memory(about 40 MB) when playing a video.
What is the reason behind this sort memory consumption?
what should i do to reduce this?

pls help.

Removing plugins doesn't reduce memory usage because only used plugins are loaded to memory. If you want to reduce memory usage, compile VLC (and contribs) with proper compile settings that reduce memory usage and figure out what audio and video outputs use least memory. and use them.
