<div>Sounds like a codec error, or your cpu
can't handle it. Install and run gkrellm, watch your cpu when it
plays, see if it spikes or plateaus.<br>

What encoding are your videos?<br>
<br>
Does gstreamer/totem work ok?<br>
<br>
What video card do you have (ie. hardware decode support)?<br>
<br>
VLC and gstreamer-based front-ends work way different I find, each
with varying reliability in certain codecs.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<p style="margin:0px">'VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower' is the
version installed currently. When I try to play videos I
recorded it starts and slows to a stop in a second. Is there a
more current version of vlc I could install to see if that
fixes it? what is the ppa to do so?</p>
