1) if the buffer is set to a high value, the end of the video of the length of the buffer is skipped
i.e. a 10 sec video will cause a 1 minute long video to skip the last 10 secs

2) if during playback of a video file, you shift from full screen to windowed multiple times, the toolbar which appears in full screen mode after mouse movement stops appearing

I'm having the same buffer/cache issue. I have looked everywhere but can't find a solution.
So if anyone has any idea how to fix this issue - or just a guess - please help.

It a pretty big issue so I don't really know why no one knows the answer.

(Similar thread (no solution): http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-re ... 71321.html )

I finally found a solution:

Preferences -> Input / Codecs -> Demuxers:
Set "Demux module" to "FFmpeg demuxer"

I have tryed a few other demuxers but FFmpeg seams to be the only one working. (Suggestions for better demuxer is welcome)

What kind of files are we talking about here ? avi/mkv/mpeg-ts/ ???

.avi

And the solution I found isn't really stable. FFmpeg isn't working with all .avi-files, so a better solution would be nice.

I've been seeing this as well with all the RCs (and I'm sure I saw it with v0.9's as well), but for me its running under Windows 7-RC. It's on my test laptop that can't run Aero at all. Also, the tool-bar itself is displayed too low so some of it gets cut off (about half the volume slider horizontally is lost and I've been unable to get a normal screen-shot to show you) - this never happened with v0.9.9

I created a bug ticket for this: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2853

This issue is now fixed.

The DJ:
What do you mean "This issue is now fixed."?

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2853 is down and not really telling anything useful.

I mean that issue 1 will now be fixed in subsequent releases. It was specific to avi files.

2) is fixed.
