Nor did an update in Linux to the latest VLC version (0.9.8a) solve or change this. It happened in both, avi and mpeg files, but also a playback from DVD was not completely fluent, even though it didn't really halt, but rather drop single frames when there were fast changes on the screen.Ĭan this be solved with a buffer setting or something? I couldn't find anything like that.
REMOUSE RECORDING MODES MOVIE
During all this time, the movie playback actually goes on normally, one can hear the sound and see the timer count normally, only the video halts. In Linux, when in fullscreen mode, my video output bogs down every now and then, usually continuing after one or two seconds with a lot of video artefacts that will be "cleared" after cut in the movie, but sometimes it even hangs like in a freeze frame and it takes much longer to resume normally.
I imagine it has to do with the differences between windows and linux in handling focus for video output, and that in linux for the window manager the video does not "belong" to the VLC window. I'd prefer my mouse wheel to adjust my volume whenever it is hovering somewhere (except progress slider) over the VLC window, just the way it is in windows version of VLC out-of-the-box. In linux, though, the mouse wheel only changes volume when I move the mouse cursor directly over the tiny volume slider, which can be a bit hard to find when sitting far away from the screen while watching a movie. In Windows, the volume control via the mouse wheel works on the whole VLC window except on the progress slider, in window mode as well as in fullscreen mode. I recently switched from Windows to Linux, Ubuntu, and noticed some differences in behaviour in the Linux version of VLC in comparison to Windows and was wondering if it's just some well-hidden settings that I overlooked:ġ. I've been using VLC for quite a while now and I always liked it.
