hi friends
please be kind with me i am far from an advanced user
anytime i try to play 720p it will be choppy at some point (too often that im almost ready to give up on vlc)
funny thing is that playback in windows media player 12 is flawless
the media info:
H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part10) (avc1)
A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52 )
here are my (yes my computer is outdated) specs:
VLC 1.1.9
Win XP pro sp3
2GB DDR2 Ram
Intel core 2 duo T7300
another thing i notice (hate) is that when i go frame by frame (pressing "E") is that it will work for about 2 frames then i will get a pixelated mess of green barf like this:
this is cool but im not playing the original zelda for nes so i'd prefer not to have green squares on my video...
anyway, i've read all the other posts for a good hour and nothing seems to work.
here's what i've tried:
'Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding' change it to 'All' > did nothing
Use GPU acceleration > did nothing
uninstall, and reinstall > did nothing
punching my cat > did nothing
in summary
my cpu usage goes to about 65% when i try playing 720p videos.
i have the k-lite codec pack installed. (if i delete this then there's trouble for any player on my computer)
720p mkv's play flawless in windows media player 12 but not in vlc.... why does this haunt my dreams?
thanks guys/girls (although it's 99.9999% going to be a guy)
