[vlc] Re: Having Slowdown Problems with VLC

[Paul Rae]

Are you seeing this on all files? The fact that your seeing it in both
vlc and wmp could indicate either a broken file or maybe somethings
changed on your laptop config recently? New drivers, sp2, etc ....?

Hey,

Alright... first I have to tip my hats at all I've seen the player do on
other systems. Very good job, but I've got a problem when I try to run
it on mine.

I've got an Alienware laptop as such
3Ghz P4
GeForce 5700 Go (latest mobile drivers installed)
1Gig RAM
etc etc etc power machine

Even though I've got all this, it seems every file I've tried to play
through VLC has been very very choppy. It's not too terrible when I want
to see the story of Full Metal Alchemist, but when I want to see a new
Kingdom Hearts 2 trailer I want to see every frame. I'll admit I used to
use Windows Media player until recently it's decided to slow down on me
and get the video out of sync with the sound rather fast. I've checked
out the CPU readout and it doesn't seem to really strain whenever I play
files... it's like it just drops half or more of the frames. This goes
for all files too be they ogm, avi, mov, and mpgs. Do you guys have any
advice for me? I don't think I missed anything vital in the FAQ... so
I'm kind of in a bind. Thank for your time and hopefully your help.
