<font size="+3"><tt>Hi!<br>
When i use vlc to play dvd's there are a lot of stuttering so
it is very hard to listen to it.<br>
I don't have this problem with gom player or others so i am
wondering if there are any settings i can change to make the
dvds play as nice as in gom player.<br>
Thanks.<br>

Off the top of my head there's no DVD specific options for that kind
of thing. There are various video options which depending on your
hardware may speed things up. It's important to realize that DVDs
codecs for PC's aren't always as good as those for regular DVD
players. In other words one player may render things differently
than another (particularly the menu's). Standalone DVD players
aren't immune to this either but from what I've seen of a few
different media players and home DVD players it seems that PC DVD
rendering doesn't work on the same standard.<br>
<br>
In my experience VLC has never skipped or stuttered on a DVD unless
the disc was damaged or I had too many things running at the same
time (Optical drives aren't as fast as Hard drives are and seem to
put more of a strain on the processor).<br>
<br>
Now looking at the standard Video Options I'm going to give some
general suggestions:<br>
Full screen: 50/50 as to whether you should enable or not. If your
computer has really good full screen support then this will run
faster if not it could be broken (2 of 3 computers in my house work
(or worked) well with full screen).<br>
<br>
Skip frames: If your hardware is slow you could try enabling this
but it will cause a type of stuttering.<br>
<br>
Accelerated video output (Overlay): I have this enabled as it's
supported by most systems and does help with speed.<br>
<br>
Use Hardware YUV->RGB conversions: I also enable this as it
passes some of the stress to the hardware. Note that this relies on
hardware, if you don't have the hardware or if your computers
hardware (not overall but this in particular) is sub-par than it may
look bad enabling this.<br>
<br>
Windows decorations: I use them BUT if you're looking for speed
then try disabling them.<br>
<br>
Enable wallpaper mode: DON'T. This feature is in my opinion a
waste, it makes the movie play in the desktop background in place of
wallpaper. Sometimes you'll have both this and the regular video
window playing and it takes a lot of power.<br>
<br>
De-interlacing: Most of my machines don't seem to like
De-interlacing and it does take power but on some computers it will
help (Most graphics cards do this on there own which can cause the
picture to degrade if you have both the graphics card and VLC trying
to de-interlace simultaneously.<br>
<br>
Under Inputs and Codecs there's a few more options including an
experimental GPU acceleration (if it works then it should take a
load of the CPU) and a feature to use system codecs (I'm about to
try this myself as some of my MKV's work better in WMP but I much
prefer VLC's interface).<br>
<br>
Back to Interface for a sec: under look and feel is an option to
Embed video in interface. I like this feature most of the time as
it keeps everything together but separating it may (or may not)
improve performance. Separation is a must (preference) if using
multiple monitors as you can play a video on an extended desktop
while keeping the controls in reach on the main window (For instance
I've done some presentations using this and while controlling VLC I
was also taking notes (though the pesky 'm' key problem slowed me
down [whenever vlc was active m would mute the volume on a global
level even if I disabled the hotkey, I'm not sure if it was ever
resolved or not as the machine I did that on has recently died]).<br>
