OS X - Version 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)
VLC 1.03
I download .wmv lectures for my class and play them at 2x speed. Why 2x, well I'm essentially speeding over the fillers/crap and pausing at the important parts to take notes. This problem happens on my laptop's speakers and on my headphones - using the headphone jack at 2X speed. Its not a real issue with my USB headphones, but I can tell when the glitch happens. This does not happen in 1X speed.
This is the problem when I use my headphones in the headphone jack:
Basically I pause the video (using spacebar) and take my notes, then after I press spacebar again to continue the video, almost 75-80% of the time, the video glitches up (I'm guessing b/c its starting to play back into the 2x mode) and suddenly "pops" with this really, really loud noise and then I hear this ringing noise in my ears, it could be b/c of the loud noise damaging my ears, but i'm pretty sure it is coming from my headphones. The video still plays and the speaking volume from my teacher has decreased. I thought the loud noise could by avoided by lowering the volume on my computer and on my vlc player, but it will still pop and make that loud noise regardless of the volume setting.
Using just my laptop's speaker:
Same problem as before, when I press pause, I receive a noisy surprise only this time it is in the form of a really loud beep. Like a computer beep noise that i've heard on my dell's - loud and on for about 2 seconds.
Logitech USB microphone/headphones:
Can't really tell if there is a problem because when I press my spacebar again I just hear a very quick scramble noise and it continues playing no problem.
Sometimes the loud noise will be a quick turn-table type of noise. Loud scratching type of noise. But usually a loud popping noise. I could play the videos in regular 1X speed but then I can just go also play that in Quicktime and thats not the fix i'm looking for. I just want to know if anyone else has had this glitch and if you tech guys at VLC have realized this glitch and have or are going to do something about it. I tried explaining this glitch as much as possible cuz this definitely hurts my ear
. Let me know if theres any other question. Thanks guys.
