I downloaded and installed VLC 0.5.3 on two different Windows XP
systems. I have successfully played two CD's smoothly "Gladiator and
Pitch Black" directly from the DVD players on each system.<br>
<br>
But when I stream them to a UDP or multicast address, the clients on
other systems encounter a slight pause or studder in the video every 2
seconds or so when watching the stream. In order to test if it was a
local network issue, I fired up a second VLC player on the same P4 2.4
Ghz system that I was streaming it from and tried to watch the stream
using the loopback interface and got the same pausing and studder every
2 seconds. <br>
<br>
Since I only get this behavior when watching it via the network, I am
wondering if there is either <br>
<br>
A. A bug in the network code in VLC<br>
B. A setting in the TCP stack on Windows that VLC does not like.<br>
<br>
Any help would be great! I'd like to demo this open source software to
my boss for deployment, but I'd like to get this slight kink worked out
before I show it to him.<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>
<br>
