I'm running OS X 10.3.9 with VLC 0.8.2. I installed it a few days ago and ever since I installed if I've had trouble when opening video. I'll double-click on a file in the Finder to open VLC and start playing the file, and VLC will open. Then the program will freeze for about 3 - 5 seconds before it begins playing the video, at which point the video starts a few seconds late (sometimes giving me a message about late video). When it freezes I can move the mouse but can't do anything else, not even use other programs. It also gives me this problem when VLC is already open and I use file>open to play a video.
It seems to do this mainly with xvid or divx-encoded AVIs. I just tried a Quicktime and it works fine, although it could be because the Quicktime I tried was only about 4 megs and the AVIs that give it trouble are 100+.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
