The VideoLAN Forums

hi, im a newbie on this staff.
Wmp is wrong playing my dvds, so i downloaded Vlc media player, but it plays bad too, the video and sound gets cut every half second, it is the same problem in Vlc and Windows media player, so i think they are using the same bad codec, but maybe i wrong. I do not know what to do. I downloaded many video codecs and nothing works. Please, if someone can helpme i'll be very thank you.

VLC doesn't use system codecs. What VLC version are you using? How much RAM and CPU does your computer have?

im using VLC 8.6i, and i have 512 ram.

and i don't think that is an hadware problem becouse i can play dvds with HP DVD PLAYER, but i need Vlc...

Open a DVD in any Media player and note the system resources in your task manager then do the same thing with VLC.

CPU usage in VLC should be less than 2 or 3% in any modern machine. Background process could be part of the problem if you are running short on memory.

In HP DVD PLAYER cpu usage is 25% average
In Windows Media player and VLC is 70% Average

I still cannot play well with VLC

Thanks for your help

Try with VLC 0.9.2:
