VLC Freezes on some MP4 files
VLC Freezes on some MP4 files
There are some .mp4 files that VLC will not play, the video freezes. These are mostly 1080p files but other 1080p files play on VLC as well. In Windows I have to use Power DVD as the workaround. On my Linux Mint system I have to use the Gnome player or XBMC media center player to view these files. I have uninstalled VLC and installed the files from VLC org 4-1 without curing the problem. Anyone have a clue to my problem or a solution? Thanks
Re: VLC Freezes on some MP4 files
Well I found this was being caused by the sharpen filter in vlc video effect tools. By unticking this option all videos play great. Not sure why some 1080p videos worked ok with this setting enabled. But I will just manually enable this for lower reolution videos

Because some videos are harder to decode and sharpens makes it slower.

Re: VLC Freezes on some MP4 files
when I search for Sharpen in VLC preferences, I do NOT get a check box. Instead I show a box with a value of 0.05 in it. Any ideas?
