Never tried that, but definitely had problems watching the 4 gig Olympic Men’s Basketball at 1080P with VLC.
In the end, the Media Player Classic included the with K-Lite Codec Pack just played it no problem, low processor loads as well.
That Media Player Classic is my current go-to; it just works
This was a HUGE help … thanks! … your solution fixed 95% of the problem, however there was still an occasional stall or choppy video (that would fix itself once the scene changed).
Anything else I can do to get that last 5% of performance?
try to close unnecessary services on your PC and you will regain that missing 5% performance….
HD movies are very much CPU hungry specially if don’t have a dedicated GPU….
thanks, i was wondering why linux of all the systems i have installed on this machine is the only one who cant play 1080p smootly, this one little thingie took care of that, thanks again
I wasn’t able to play Iron Man on VLC until i followed your instructions! I very much enjoyed the movie because of this
Thank you so much!
Yep, That worked! The video playback is 100 percent better after that change!
that was a good one.impresssive.keep on posting!!!
thank you thats the first solution that worked
Thanks, that helped me a lot!
The problem is that the default codec VLC uses to decode x264 content, which I believe is part of the ffmpeg suite, is not programmed well enough to offer satisfactory performance on most CPUs.
There are a swath of codecs like ffdshow and CoreAVC which offer better performance, and would play just fine on even one core of a Core 2 duo processor. Hell, ffmpeg would work on a Core 2 duo if it was capable of multithreading to use both cores simultaneously during the decode.
Those who claim a Core 2 duo is unequal to the task of decoding 1080p x264 content are simply wrong. They do not realize that most of the codecs they try, including the VLC default, are only using AT BEST 50% of that CPU’s total power.
awwww man that didnt help me.
what seems to be the requirements for your graphics card to handle h 264?
I’m really not sure what is supposed to be the minimum requirement in order for a PC/laptop to handle a h.264. I was able to enjoy a flicker-free 1080p movie using my 3 year old Asus laptop with discreet ATI x1600 256MB graphics card.
well not worked for me, m on Dual Core machine with 8500 GTX
how about using the latest VLC version, it might help…
Good article. FWIW, I just tried watching some 1080p with the latest version of VLC, and it was totally unwatchable (choppy, blocky, etc). Plays fine in WMP 12, though, using just a K-Lite codec pack install. The reason I tried VLC was that I couldn’t figure out how to disable subtitles in WMP (the “off” option didn’t work — however, after trying again I discovered they can be turned off directly in the codec’s settings). System specs: Ph.II 720, 4gb DDR3 1333, HD 4870 1gb.
