Playback as fast as possible without dropping frames

Postby convseb » 14 May 2012 16:51

Hello,

is it possible to tell VLC via command line that it shall play a video as fast as possible without dropping frames?
Let's assume a 25 FPS video. If a frame is decoded after 3 ms VLC shall display it and move on to the next frame without inserting artifical space of 40 ms per frame.

That does not really make sense. Your physical display has a finite (and in fact probably constant) refresh rate. If you rewrite the frame buffer every 3ms, most frames will be dropped by the display.
