Video playback Stuttering VLC.

I downloaded a 720p video from Youbube and when I played it in VLC Player, it stuttered at many places. First I thought that there must be something wrong with the video.
So I played another 720p video which used to run smoothly, but then again it stuttered at many places. Again I downloaded a 360p video and it played very smoothly.:?
I tried to google the problem and came across a solution where we have to adjust some "Preferences" settings but it did not work.
Any idea what the problem is and how to solve it???

I'd suggest that ditch VLC and use PotPlayer 1.5.31590 Beta - VideoHelp.com Downloads

If your PC is fast enough to play HD videos smoothly then you'll never have stuttering problems with PotPlayer no matter whatever video format it is.

Whats your PC config? I think your PC may not be powerfull enough to run HD vids :|

Config: Core i3 350M, 4GB DDR3 RAM, ATI HD 5730 1GB GDDR3.

Am I wrong if I assume its enough to run HD videos?

Really never heard of it:!: Although, giving it a try.

Are you running latest version of VLC with latest Codecs? If yes, try following:

* Go to Tools > Preferences > Input & Codecs / Codecs > set "Skip H.264 in-loop Deblocking Filter" to "All"

If after setting above, you still get the problem, Try re-installing Display Drivers for your PC.

BTW which HD files you are playing MP4, MKV etc.?

I tried this solution earlier but it did not work out.

I m playing both MKV and MP4 files.

Meanwhile I tried the PotPlayer suggested by Lord073 above and those videos are played flawlessly by pot player. No stuttering or pixelation. Also not to mention, its a damn good player!!!.....:)

Another update.....
After playing a few videos with PotPlayer, I again tried to play with VLC. This time, the video played smoothly.
I don't know what the problem was and what solved the problem.:?

^^ it's must be due to some broken codec / improper registry setting of some codec and potplayer installation has fixed it ;-)

For HD videos use splash player lite or you may try splayer.

I have used splash player....UI is superb but its major features are not available in Free version....:cool:

does Media Player Classic+klite codec pack has all the features like VLC? I once used k-lite codec pack on xp and it replaced the default WMP 10 with WMP classic. Will it replace the WMP 12 on windows 7??

yes it has all features of VLC...
no,it doesn't replace WMP 12 on windows 7 :cool:

also if u have noticed WMP12 doesn't support mkv but after codec packs installation MKV files are playable in WMP also :grin:
