vlc is playing audio just fine but the video plays a little, stops, jumps ahead a few frames to catch up with the audio then plays a little more, then repeats.

To get the errors I ran vlc from the terminal:

bmike1@c521 ~/Pictures/2013/Peru2013 $ vlc 00004.MTS

VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be)

and I noticed the third line so I ran that as well.

and I see the eighth frame from the bottom. It seems my computer is too slow?

How about you actually tell us what problem you are having? Errors?

My google search told me to:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

which I did. However immediately after pressing 'enter' remembered (thinking I did) installing the extras after installing Mint so I <cntrl-c>ed. What should I do? Should I run that command? Why didn't the extras install after I first installed Mint?

Make sure all the codec are installed

Do a search for your os and vlc codec and ypu should get the yum or get-apt install commands

I can't run video successfully with vlc. Would someone who knows something about vlc take one of my home videos and help me set vlc up to run correctly?
