vlc movie player

[Brian Cluff]

I got it... and it played fine on my computer?  It's just an MPEG-TS 
container with H264 video codec and AC3 audio codec.  The video is full 
HD 1920x1080.  That's all really standard stuff.

My guess to your problem is that your computer just doesn't have enough 
horse power to play back a full HD video, and/or your video drivers are 
slow enough they they can't keep up.

If you think your computer has enough power to play back the video 
perhaps the video players are trying to use the video card for hardware 
acceleration and the video card can't keep up with a high definition 
video.  I have a couple of systems that I use for mythtv that can't 
handle hardware acceleration of HD video, so I have to turn it off to 
get it to get it to play back right..

In VLC go into the preferences and select Video.  Then UNCHECK the box 
next to "Accelerated video output (overlay)". Also click on input and 
Codecs and uncheck the box next to "Use GPU accelerated decoding"  That 
should make VLC use your CPU to decompress the video and if you have 
enough horsepower it should actually play correctly.  If that's not 
checked already trying checking them and see if that makes a difference.
