The file is a mkv, and vlc has the latest updates which would be 1.1.4. my drivers all are up to date also

I will jump on this thread, because this occurs to me with any video file format, and on the latest versions of VLC lately.

Does it happen with all files, but just latest MKVs ?

I have tried several times to download the VLC player, no problem downloading... but I cannot get a clear video image on ANY file types. The video is very choppy and only a ghost image is visible in the background. I am using Windows XP and can't afford to upgrade. Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem? I need help.

I am having the same exact issues. Is there a newer nightly that fixes the problem(s)??

I'm thinking this perhabs is due to multiple processors. I myself are having duo core.

Any fixes?

Hmmm.... It seems to be alright now that I tried this:

Tools > Preferences > Video > Outpout > Direct3D video output (the 2nd one of the two).

But multitasking back to World of Warcraft after pausing VLC can take like 5-10 seconds.

Still getting rid of that annoying choppiness is worth it.

Better, but still not cured.

Even choppy in Ubuntu 11.04

And you are not in the right forum.

I'm pointing out the connection. You guys can't code.

Please, go away with your hatred and your stupidity.

Hey there. I'm also having a similar problem. When I try to play VLC files on my VLC player (latest version), the image is choppy and keeps freezing and pixelating. I have no problem playing other files on it, however. Does anyone know what I should do? Tried changing to Direct 3D video output, but it had no effect.

Thanks!

HD movie? Is your CPU fast enough?
