right. It just happens to be every machine that I've seen VLC installed on.When you pause the buffer clears and when you start again it refills. But a buffer to hold 1.5 to 2 seconds would be more memory than anyone could possibly have on there machine. This indicates some other problem with YOUR machine. Most likely is audio drivers.
Yea, that's more likely what it is. I'm unlucky. Not a problem with VLC in anyway.You must be the most unlucky person I have ever run across. I have installed VLC on lots of machines and never seen the issue you describe, except where I have trouble with audio drivers which also shows up in other ways.
BTW VLC is free and no one is forcing you to use it.
Oh, no kidding. I thought someone else was forcing me to use it. For a second there I thought it was me that said I like it anyway despite its flaws.Anyway, even with these complaints I still use it over others.
Sorry, it's not VLC. You need a new computer.I have been this same little but annoying problem too with VLC in Windows XP Pro (SP2 installed) and Kubuntu Linux 7.04....My computer is Athlon 64 3000+, Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLi mainboard, 1 GB, 160 GB HDD, GeForfce 6600GT graphic accelerator.
Sorry, but I think my hardware is just fine.The only thing that remotely comes to mind is that your memory is way low and Windows is triggering a swap file. Then your time criteria may be realistic, but to some degree this also depends on the speed of your hardware.
YES! It is known that the later drivers for Realtek don't work properly! You might do a search here to find out which drivers others have found that do work.I have just found out that my audio driver is the latest. It is:
Realtek HD Audio, Version: 5.10.0.5200
Any other suggestions?
Btw, the main feature I like about VLC over Real player is its ability to play videos at different speeds. I wonder whether the other players that you mentioned, i.e., KMPlayer, BSplayer or PowerDVD can do this.
