The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,

I have been using vlc 2.0.x for a little while now and it has nearly all the features I need to be able to complete my task.

The only thing I can't find is a way to play back a video at my desired frame rate, in this case 1 frame per second. The --rate option allows me slow down the play back, but this still won't give me 1 fps.

Just to be clear unlike other posts about 1 fps, this isn't a video created at 1 fps, I just want to be able to play it back at this speed.Is it even possible to do what I want with vlc?

I guess what I am looking for is something that does what the frame command does when running rvlc (lua interface).

VLC has troubles for playing very low FPS videos, it's a known issue awaiting for a fix.

But you can try to increase the cache, at least 1000 ms in your case.

Thanks for the reply, I don't think I was clear enough though.

The video I have is not recorded at 1 fps (at least I think it isn't, I got it from here: http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/) I just want to play it back slowly at 1 fps.

Is there a setting in vlc where you can set the playback speed to 1 fps?

You can set the playback rate to very slow.

Hi,
Is the plaback at low frame rates still an issue in VLC player ?
Thank you
