I have a new i5 setup, and everything is fine, except for NTSC material in VLC. I have de-interlacing set to ON and Yadif x2 but after about 5 seconds, the picture starts to get choppy and doesn't play right and skips frames. Now this issue has to be specific with VLC, as Power DVD 10 plays the material fine, as does Media Player Classic x64.

Both de-interlace NTSC material perfectly and video-taped material maintains the characteristic "look" and frame rate. VLC also de-interlaces PAL stuff fine as well.

Anyone know what the issue is? I really want to keep VLC, as it's a great player.

Yadif (2x) requires more cpu so maybe try regular Yadif to see if it makes any difference. Also, PAL works fine because it's not interlaced to begin with.

Regular Yadif removes the signature look of videotape (aka Beatles on Ed Sullivan) and make it's appear at 24fps film rate. Yadif x2 worked fine on both PAL and NTSC on my old Quad Core. This is an i5 from 2012. My Quad core was from 2007.

My new setup has more CPU power than my old one. Also, PAL DVD's and mpeg-2's are also interlaced when played on a computer, this is why they need de-interlacing.

EDIT: BOB and Linear are not working properly either. Both are also lagging. This is an issue with VLC, as the same material plays fine, with all the same de-interlacing types in both Media Player Classic x64 and PowerDVD 10.

EDIT AGAIN: I just realized I'm using the 32-bit version. This is probably the issue, I'm downloading the 64-bit version now, and will get back.

Nope. No luck
