[vlc] impact of jitter

[Philippe De Neve]

Hi experts,

can anybody tell me how and why vlc reacts on jitter on the videostream? Are
packets arriving to late discarded? or are the packets still decoded and
sent to the playoutbuffer where it is detected  that the playout time of a
certain frame is in the past so the frame is dropped and the current
displayed frame freezes? So the impact of jitter is frame freezing and no in
frame damage (such as blockyness)? Am I correct?

Do all (most)  players react this way?

regards, Philippe.
