I just installed a fresh copy of openSUSE 10.2, all graphics drivers on my 2 GHz Dual core, 2 GB RAM machine. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600I'm a fresh user of Linux.
I installed VLC player as specified in the instructions on the download page. The problem is that most video formats are playing very badly - chopping and staggering - while the audio is prefectly OK. I say 'most' formats because there is at least one format (*.asf) that is playing OK. I haven't been able to ascertain if there are other such formats.
I have been through the official and unofficial wikis. Nothing helps.
What is the problem? Can someone help?
