os x jerky video

[The DJ]

OK, here we go.
I assume you have installed vlc in your Applications folder.
Open terminal.
type:
/Applications/vlc.app/Contents/Mac/vlc --desync 175

Then open the file from the menu.
I believe in version 0.2.92 there is a bug where you need to specify 175000
instead of 175, but I'm not sure.

BTW. This problem is unrelated to the first problem (original post). The
first problem is probably a pretty low-end mac running a very high quality
MPEG2. Your problem is a syncing problem, which has more to do with
differences in delays that are occurring when outputting the audio and
displaying the video. Almost all MacOS X users are experiencing this.
