why is it so choppy on videoLAN?

[M_Zrike]

when I go to download a file, the blank page pops up and it plays very choppy, and when I download it and play it, it's still very choppy. The files work in media player classic though(have not tested in other players yet). anyone have a clue as to why this is? I would like to be able to play the files in VideoLAN, as it is my prefered player.

I have tested in MediaPlayer and that works perfectly. I have also burnt the files to a CD in mp3 format and played them in my CD Player that also works perfect.

Is these any specific files you have problems with or is it all files.

I have tried Luciddreaming, Elmaninduction, and Deepening2, havent tried anything else yet. All are choppy in browser and in videoLAN, but work in MediaPlayerClassic. I dont know why VLC wont play them correctly when it plays normal .mp3's fine.

When you open the files with VideLAN it seems that you have to enable caching and set it to 500 milliseconds. Then the files play fine.

Thanks, it works better now, though i had to set caching to 5000 instead of 500

I have a stupid question: why would you use Videolan for soundfiles anyway? It seems so tedious to operate. I use Winamp, and I only have to double-click on a file to launch Winamp and play the file - and I never had any problems with that.

Well, becuase VideoLAN does not need codecs is the reason I like it so much, so I try to make it my main player even if something else is better. As for being tedious to operate? This is the first time ive ever had a problem with it, and I have been using it for a year or two now.

I didn't mean, that it doesn't work. It works fine, and I use it to see if partially downloaded films are what they are supposed to be. It's the only viewer I know of, that can do that! But it's one click more than winamp to start an mp3, and you have to be very precise with the mouse. - Perhaps it's only me!

[M_Zrike]

One click more then winamp? Precice with the mouse? What do you mean?

It is probably the compression level. Get razorlame or another program and recompress to CD quality.
