VLC pixelation for first few seconds when playing WMV

[twanj]

hi, first of all, thanks so much for VLC! I've been using it for years, but recently got a macbook & it's so useful for hooking up to my TV w/ HDMI.

I've been having the same issue playing WMVs since I got this mac about 4 months ago (don't remember which version was out then) up to today on VLC 2.0.4 and 2.0.5.

when playing a WMV file, the first few seconds are "choppy" or pixelated/blocky. well, about 0.5 seconds play fine, then the picture freezes momentarily, then it's blocky til about the 3rd second, then the whole rest of the video plays fine.

this is with ALL WMVs I've seen. all other file types don't seem to have this problem.

audio plays fine throughout.

if I select & go back to the beginning, it plays perfectly. but if I press stop, then play, there's the same issue.

system details:
VLC 2.0.4/2.0.5
OS X 10.8.2 (all updates), 2.6gz core i7, 16 GB RAM
macbook pro retina

is there anything I can do to diagnose what's causing this?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

you can share the logs and/or the files...

[twanj]

I uploaded the file named "OS X pixelation for first few seconds when playing WMV.wmv"

here's the log for just the few seconds that there are issues.

BTW, I also have gotten some crashes when unplugging the HDMI cable from my computer.
I submitted those crash logs, but don't know if I should do anything else?

[twanj]

same issue is present on Windows 7 / VLC 2.0.5.

[twanj]

any luck with this?

did the log help at all?

I don't know what the logs normally look like but it seemed like there were some problems.
