On advice I switched from DivX player to VLC and until now had been great.
Usually new video files come in at AVCHD format and play OK
However just recorded a bundle of these at 1080p .... and VLC seems unable to play them properly.
Audio is OK .,.. but video is very choppy.
Read that it could be incorrect use of cores ....
My PC is Intel Twin processor 6600 2.4GHz (4GB RAM) running VISTA 32 bit, when playing a file on VLC (ver 1.1.11) the PC shows core 1 running at 70% core 2 at 45%
The Media info file shows it's :
BluRay Video
28Mbps bit rate
Format High@L4.2
Video bit rate 25.7 Mbps
50 fps
If I drop files into Sony Vegas they play OK ... I found some advice to change these settings:
Select “All” under "skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding"
Made change however it made no difference.
Should I be getting the Graphics card to do more - I have an Nvideo Geforce 7900 GS .... anything I can tweak ?
