VLC 2 avi videos problems

Postby Tom33000 » 16 Mar 2012 09:29

Hello,
I am new on this forum
I installed VLC 2.0.0 on the place of VLC 1.1.11.
VLV 1 reads all my videos, VLC 2 shows a black screen for all the movies avi (XviD Mpeg 4).
I have only the sound. The reader Windows Media reads them with no problem at all.
The configuration of my system is unchanged.
- Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 X32
- Processor Intel Core i7-970, HexaCore, 3,2 GHz
- Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1024 Mb) - unchanged
- Unchanged video Drivers GeForce 295.73
- RAM 4 GO ( 3 recognized)
I do not find the answer in FAQ or the forums.
Thank you for your help.
Cordially
Tom33000

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2), then start the playback. The message dialog will complain when issues happen.

Hi,
Here the messages repeating during the video.
"avcodec error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)"
My config:
- Processor Intel Core i7-970, HexaCore, 3,2 GHz
- Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1024 Mb)
- RAM 4 GO ( 3 recognized)
It occurs only with avi DVD Rip.
The avi films I have made myself don't have problems.
All the other formats (wmv, mpg, etc.) are working fine.
I think my computer is not too slow, because VLC 1.1 works fine.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Wonderfull, it's works fine.
The first solution don't works.
Preferences and Input / Codecs and in the drop-down box for Skip H.264 in-loop deblocking filter change it to All
The second solution works fine.
Input / Codecs -> Video codecs -> FFmpeg, then locate Threads, and set it to 4
Thank you for all.
Best regards.

Re: VLC 2 avi videos problems

Since I updated from 1.1.4 to 2.0.1 - I am also having problems with my .avi files that I did not have in VLC1. The problem is that at the beginning of my file I have a Title screen (text on a blank), followed by 5 or 6 pictures followed by some video. The issue is that VLC2 plays my Title screen, then does not display the pictures (just a black screen), it then plays the video. Occasionally, it displays the last picture before displaying the video.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Ifield

I Forgot to say that if I reload an old version of VLC (0.9.9 - it was all I had!), it plays perfectly, again!
