video freezes, sound keeps going

Damn it happens!

I have also to report this problem in vlc098a.
the messages that spits are

main warning: decoder/packetizer fifo full (data not consumed quickly enough), resetting fifo!
main warning: late picture skipped (408116)
main warning: late picture skipped (438963)

and i am using a dshow video input witch uses the rawvideo decoder.

I have tested on 2 systems (with different capture cards and display adapters)

The problem exists only in one pc and only since i updated my ATI Catalyst drivers.
So i suspect overlay problems . I'll come with more data

Hello people,

as everyone here I had the same problem with *.mkv/mp4/h.264 files. This problem appeared after the installation of the latest VLC version and doesn't matter the video player (I.E. WMP) used to play the files, the issue was still there. Probably during the installation of the new version the codecs were somehow modified or damaged.

It's just a guess but since I reinstalled them everything is working fine:

- google HAALI MATROSKA SPLITTER and FFDSHOW
- download and install the latest codecs version
- test and see if the problem is solved

I dunno if anyone has already suggested this because I didn't read the whole forum but I thought it could be useful to share anyway.

Ja neee,
giN

********EDIT 03/03/09**********
The problem appeared again just now *sigh*

Using the 1.0 nightlies and getting great performance now. No freezes and fast seeking in all formats so far. 1.0 looks very promising:

Ok I have gone from the 0.9.9a player to the Nightly build as suggested. Same problem. Video freezes every couple of minutes for a few seconds, and the audio continues. SOMETIMES. And sometimes the audio stops for a brief second along with the video. I have NEVER had a problem until the 0.9.8 release. I can watch 1080p mkv files no sweat in other programs. I can watch just about any video file without a single problem in other media players. I have been using VLC for over 3 years now, and have never had a problem before. For coming up on VLC's 1.0 Release... this is not very promising. And this is not just a single user problem, seems to be a pretty big problem for several ppl.

and to already answer it, I tried everything I could find on here and google as well. I have had Perian installed for a long time, checked it, up to date. I have DIVX installed, have for years. Its up to date. This seems to happen for any kind of video file as well. I hope VideoLAN can fix this.

And the output log even hinting that my computer is to slow.. is ridiculous. lol.

There are times when I encounter this problem too..
I just restart VLC or restart my puter..

*not so techie here*

draculinos · Postby **draculinos** » 07 Jun 2009 19:18

Does the problem has any change to be solved?

I have download also the 1.0.0 RC2 and still I m getting freeze image and the sound playing .

Thanks

0.9 used to work perfectly for me. After installing 1.0 and discovering that I was often getting the video freeze problem, I tried going back to 0.9 only to discover that although 0.9 still worked, it didn't work nearly as well as it used to.
I'm trying to watch WMV files on a Mac mounted from a Linux media server.

Specifically, it used to be that I could drag the position slider and the movie would cleanly skip to the new location. Now, with 0.9, if I drag that slider, I can only see a partial, vaguely ghosted image for a while and then it recovers. Presumably this is the key frame problem that others have mentioned. But I never used to see this with 0.9.

I note that MPlayer OSX does not have this problem, it is able to play files perfectly and you can skip to other sections and it responds instantly.

I have this exact problem with 4 of my pc's.

All have never before used Video lan before but all with 4-8 gigz of ram and all of them quad cores except one thats dual core. I can run any 1080p file without issues on all of them but the second I use Video lan then I get video issues as if its missing key frames.

1 pc is XP pro 32bit the other two are windows vista 64 and a vista 32bit and a windows 7 64bit 7600 build.

All of them capable of playing Crysis on full specs just to point out that the machines are not low end.

I have used 0.8.6 for years with never a single skip. I upgraded to 1.0 assuming it woul dbe enhanced or improved. Now most of my xVids skip. The video freezes, the audio continues and then the video will re-synch after about 15 seconds. Definelty something serious happening here. No idea what it is,. Have messed with the options but cannot find a way around this. Anyone got any solutions or workarounds or settings to change?
I turned off "skip frames" and I tried changing the video output from default to OpenGL... same thing though.

I saw video freeze and sound keeped going the other day in one of my movies when playing it as compressed multiple rar files.
But if i fastforwarded then it started to work again.
If i first extracted the rar archives then it didn't hang the picture.

I made an log file where i marked where the hang starts with "[hang starts here]" and then FF so it started again (seek)

Not a techie at all but wanted to add my voice to the mix. This is a big problem for me too. Pretty much every movie we play in VLC, whatever the source or format, does this freezy thing. No techies in this house, so we just live with it but we might stop using VLC altogether if there's no solution (and by "solution" I mean something that puter dummies like us can do without breaking the internet!). Seeking, no seeking - it happens pretty regularly.

This is such an annoying problem. I always choose to upgrade to the latest version when I get a prompt but that hasn't fixed anything. VLC superheroes, please please please fix this...

oni222 · Postby **oni222** » 12 Aug 2009 03:37

Even with 10.1 I still get this issue! It is a shame because this is a great player but this HUGE bug makes this player unusable!

mcgon1979 · Postby **mcgon1979** » 04 Oct 2009 20:25

Currently using 1.0.2. Still a major issue. Is it something the dev team are working on correcting?

Postby **Rémi Denis-Courmont** » 04 Oct 2009 20:59

This requires large changes to sensitive parts of the core. It's most certainly not going to be fixed in 1.0.x at all, as the risk of side effects are too big. And with the constrained development resources, it's not quite clear that we can fix it anytime soon.

Besides, nobody provided any sample file, so we cannot reproduce the problem, so we cannot fix it.

Oleja · Postby **Oleja** » 11 Oct 2009 14:20

Using VLC 1.0.1 MAC OS X 10.5.8 - The same issue. Video freezes. The same problem on ALL mac's i've used under 10.5 and 10.4 OS. All VLC versions from 0.9 has the same problem. It looks like that it happens more often when the video stream rate is higher and when HDD is more busy... Simple problem with the video buffer? Just make the VLC read some part of the file into RAM before playback - may solve the problem. (for developers)

Later (found some settings in "all mode") Increased all caches in Access modules from 300 to 3000, in Access Modules/MMap switched on "Use file memory mapping"
Till now don't have any freezes. Will test more on various Macs in various conditions.

OK, i am using the latest VLC Player. i am only using it for .mkv files because now all my anime seems to be in that format. i hate it because windows media player and wmp classic both get pissy about them even with codecs. if you go to bakabt.com and download ANY mkv format anime series, watch the first episode and you should get all the way through it, but the second episode will start freezing approximately every 20 seconds. What it does on the anime is the video will freeze anywhere from a half second to 2 seconds, then it will accelerate to catch up. the problem with this, the audio keeps going, but the subtitles will only flash for a fraction of a second if they show up at all. this is where it gets real annoying, if i don't do anything with the slider, it will continue to pause the video and try to catch up for the remainder of the episode. end result: you get very choppy video, flawless audio, and impossible to read subtitles if they are even shown at all.

(i directed you to bakabt.com because any anime that is licensed will NOT be listed there)

*edit* (i have tried playing at least one episode from almost every series i have that is .mkv, the result is always the same. i have tried downloading different versions of shows encoded on different machines, it is not the video file itself.)

**edit** upon closer inspection, i have found that it is easier for the video to freeze when there is less movement on screen ie-an extended dramatic pause, a focus on an unmoving object, etc

killpanda · Postby **killpanda** » 29 Oct 2009 07:46

Hi guys!

I experience the same problem since quite a while on Mac OS X. I noticed that every time the video cuts, it's because the hard drive on which the file is stored is doing something at the same time (like copying files for instance), if I let the video run at this time, the picture will each time cut after a few moment (sound still playing), then resume after a few seconds and then cut again after like 10/20 seconds. It doesn't matter which kind of file (flv, DiVX, H264, etc.), it will cut each time. It doesn't do that with other players so I don't think the behavior is linked to my computer (pretty standard MacBook by the way).

It's kind of annoying because I used and enjoyd VLC since versions 0.4.x and they didn't do that on pretty old and slow computers (like olds G3 iMacs, etc.), let's hope you can find a solution soon

Verifying killpanda's statement: wmp, wmpc, quicktime, realplayer can all play the same files flawlessly that VLC pauses the video on. the whole reason i have VLC is the h264 codec, it is giving me errors on my other players and i would have preferred to NOT go through the time and trouble of re-encoding every video (approx 850GB worth)

Modifying the Caching Value from 300ms to 800ms got rid of the problem, thank you very much for the tip

Postby **Rémi Denis-Courmont** » 02 Nov 2009 17:01

Most of the caching problems are fixed in 1.0.3.
