(VLC v1.1.11) Pause for 1 sec when playing WMV files

[quality]

Greetings

I've noticed this problem when playing WMV files
It plays for 1 sec, then video pauses for about 1-1.5 sec (audio continues normally though), and afterwards it continues play ok.
So far, I've tried files being:

Code: Select all

Codec: Windows Media Audio 2 (WMA2) Codec: Windows Media Video 7 (WMV1)

or

Code: Select all

Codec: Windows Media Audio 2 (WMA2) Codec: Windows Media Video 9 (WMV3)

This happens every single file I try to play a WMV file.

I've tried these files in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic (with latest ffdshow)
and they are played without this issue.
I've also uninstalled+reinstalled VLC but didn't help.

I don't have any problem with other filetypes.

Thank you

PS. I use win7 64bit

Though, I've found other wmv files that play ok, eg. http://www.rustycooley.com/videos/rusty ... luence.wmv

I'll check the file during weekend.

Remuxing with tool called asfbin seems to fix it.

The problem still exists in VLC 2.0

@VLC_help
Thanks for taking the time checking this issue.

ASF demuxer hasn't got enough love during last year. So most likely broken/damaged ASF/WMV files won't playback any better in future. (unless you remux them)
