Player sometimes stutter/choppy but recover after...

Hello,

I want to express my gratitude for VLC Media Player; it's an awesome tool, and I can’t think of an alternative for Windows. However, I am experiencing a playback issue that I hope can be fixed.

Usage Details: I record my game clips using the Game Bar, and while the bitrate is reasonable, I notice that some 30-60 second clips play back choppily. When I rewind to a few seconds earlier, the choppy parts play back smoothly at 60 FPS, as they should.

My impression is that VLC sometimes has difficulty buffering the frames properly during fast and chaotic action—like in a football game, where the camera pans across the pitch and the imagery changes rapidly. This leads to skipping during playback.

While rewinding the video often resolves the issue, it's a minor inconvenience that I hope can be addressed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, keep the messages window open during the whole process and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it if it's too long.
