Subject: Re: vlc
libvlc and avcodec.....make sure these are updated to latest, also see if
there are alternatives to these codecs for Ubuntu. I once had installed
the "minimum" of codecs and ran into issues. The problem was resolved
updating to a different codec. Id look into and see what these do, then
look for alternative.....

Or.....

Maybe your PC is slow????? Is it "really" old? Shouldnt be too old as I
assume your running the latest of Ubuntu, correct?
