[vlc] Re: VLC 0.5.3 Studder when playing network content

[Douglas Baggett]

Thanks for responding! My LINUX system does not have a DVD on it yet, so 
I was unable to test it today to compare it with Win XP. Tommorow I 
think I'll probably rip a DVD to hard disk and do the same test using 
LINUX as the VLC client and server to see if the behaviour repeats itself.
