VLC is lagging

Hi.
I have just installed arch (love pacman), and it's running almost like I want it to. The only issue I have by now is when I'm trying to play I video file in vlc it just laggs. I have installed the fglrx module and the videocard works great, but I can't watch a movie without lagging in VLC. I installed MPlayer to check in that to, and it works fine in MPlayer. But I like vlc bether then MPlayer, so I would love it if someone could help me fix vlc.

Thanks, it worked

Videos & iTunes Lags When I Move MacBook Pro

So I bought my otherwise marvelous MacBook Pro about a month ago but I've noticed than when I move the laptop the video, specifically in the VLC player, lags. It's not with every tiny movement but I don't exactly have to shake it violently. iTunes also does the same thing when I'm playing a song, although possibly a bit less sensitive. That can't be right, can it? I mean I just got it so I haven't changed the RAM or anything else in the inside as I've ready some other posts. What can I do?

I turned off the Sudden Motion Sensor and you're right! It doesn't lag at all. Sometimes it lags for a second randomly but very seldom and I guess thats still something from the firmware. Although it's weird because most things I read about the firmware is people having problems when they install a third party hard drive.

Mac lagging even after clean install of mountain lion

i have mac book pro 13" mid 2102- i7 version. it is lagging while video play back in quick time, audio in itunes, even VLC is lagging sometimes. Need for speed is lagging too. CPU usage is very low like 95% is Idle, 70% RAM is free. I reinstalled OS(with secure formatting) but problem is still there. what you guys think is causing this, RAM or HDD. i tried repairing disk permissions before clean install but no luck. itunes lags like 2-3 secs which is annoying, quicktime lags for 3-4 secs and instantly plays video very fast for 2-3 secs after that stays normal for a min
MplayerX never lagged while palying but all other itunes, vlc, quick time does.

Post an image of Activity Monitor set to ALL PROCESSES and % CPU to display values from high to low. Lets see if there is a third party app that is a problem.
This is from mine:
Do you have any 'cleaning' or 'performance' applications installed?
Start up in Safe Mode and see if there is any change:

Do you need cuda for playback with 4k on Macbook pro late 2013?

My question is, I have a macbook pro (late 2013) i7 ,16G ram , nvidia Gforce 750m with 2GB ddr5, mavericks osx 10.9.1.
Does this machine playback 4k with software only? or does it needs to have cuda enabled?
Because i did several tests first with RED files 4k and even with resolution on 1/4 i still have drop frames. Then i tested with Arri Alexa RAW files 2k, and premiere simply can have a decent playback no matter the resolution 1/2 lags and droped frames, 1/4 its a no go because it has a lot of pixels can't really see whats happening.
One more test was the 4k Canon IOS 1-D files. These files again look like the arri ones, i dont have a playback no matter the resolution!! These files i cant even playback them on VLC they lag all over the place.
I runned the files on the internal SSD 700MB Read write, and then on a lacie us3, same problem. On premiere with software only and with cuda, same thing.
(i already posted on a diferent discussion, im having droped frames with cuda enable on simple H264 files, so maybe for 4k is possible, but only when cuda option fully works)
So its there a problem with my computer, or you guys think its adobe premiere CC ?
Thanks

CUDA doesn't help at all with playback. It only helps with effects, scaling, blending modes and such.
For that kind of media, you really should be looking at a proper workstation with five internal drives:
System
Projects
Cache/Scratch
Media
Exports
And you might want to consider making that Media drive a RAID 3, which means a minimum of seven internal drives.

Video (VLC and Quicktime) lags when other monitor is turned off

I have a mac mini running 10.6.1 with a dual monitor setup (mini dvi to dvi, and mini displayport to dvi). When i have a video running in either vlc or quicktime on one of the monitors and i turn the other monitor off, the video begins to lag every 3 seconds.
Any ideas what i could do to fix this?

Apparently something was up with my monitor connection. It was pushed in all the way, but when i took it out and put it back in the problem was fixed.

Timecapsule causes lags and unresponsiveness in iTunes and VLC

Hi, I don't know whether this is really a problem of my TC, so I'd even like some hints on diagnostics...
However, I have TC for two months (the new 2 TB one) and just recently I noticed that videos on VLC are sometimes getting scrambled and paused (you know, when the picture freezes and then moves to another one seconds later accompanied by big black areas and small squares). I thought that this was a problem with update of VLC and I tried to set a bigger buffer for streaming. However, the program then becomes unresponsive. Just now I noticed that similar problem is happening even with iTunes and files that I have stored on TC (I double-click a song, have to wait, and after 3 - 5 secs it starts to play).
To be honest, I don't know whether this was happening right after I bought TC, because I left my favorite tracks on my MacBook. Also, after buying a TC, I upgraded to Mavericks, so a lot of things have changed for me.
I also haven't find any similar issues with TC on the internet (being a non-english speaker, it could just be my bad choice of keywords)
Before I blame everything on TC and will have to use my warranty, do you know whether this is an issue of TC? Can I do some diagnostics first? Or use any other program? Could this be a software issue?
Thank you a lot

"TC hard disk is designed to spin down at the earliest opportunity" - is this something that could be overridden?
No, the TC is not a NAS.. there is no controls whatsoever.
"will take several seconds to spin up.. so when you select a song" - that I understand, however, this is happening also on skipping to the next when the disk should be already active, no?
If the computer is caching and enough of the song is sent the disk will spin down. That is exactly how it is designed. It is for Time Machine backups not streaming media.
I unfortunatelly cannot play anything over ethernet (my MB Air does not have an input), so I am talking about playing from WiFi, but I'll try to borrow a computer
Buy a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.. apple sell them very cheap now.
So my question mostly is - something was OK, now it is not, is it a problem of updated VLC (and iTunes' lag is just normal) or is it a problem of TC and should I have it replaced?
Did it work on Mavericks.. if you think back was it actually working before you upgraded to Mavericks and then stopped because that makes a lot of sense. Mavericks and the TC do not get along at all well.
You need to do some testing..
But first of all, reset the TC to factory..
Setup with all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Give 5ghz wireless a different name.. make sure the speed of connection with TC is full for your version MBA.. ie if it AC make sure you have AC.. if it is earlier version make sure you get full 450mbps.
During a transfer make sure the speed does not drop off significantly.. it will drop but should not be a huge amount.
Otherwise it is just the wrong equipment for the job. Plug a simple usb drive into the Air and it will all work as it should.

What is wrong with my 2730p? (Lag, Mouse Device Problems)

long story short, i have been having tremendous usability issues with my laptop, including mouse problems and tremendous lag (both with and without the hdd), and missing/broken system files which sfc/ scannow fails at fixing.
the system in question has an L9400 cpu, 4 gigs of ram, vista business and linux mint 11 installed in a dual boot configuration to a toshiba mk1633gsg mini sata hdd, and there are also many livecds and liveusbs that are used with this pc.
an hp technician on another forum has informed me that these issues may be indicative of a failing hdd, and it has been made apparent by many other users on some other forums that toshiba hdds have a pretty bad reputation ... however, after removing the hdd and running the system from a livecd, i have surprisingly encountered many new problems:
(the following occurs with the hdd removed)
a linux mint 6 live cd which works perfectly fine for all other tested systems gets stuck while loading the os. it either gets stuck while loading "acpi modules" or " /casper/vmlinuz" or, if it can get past those, the os loading progress bar gets stuck at approximately the same place each time, where it will stay motionless until the system quits on its own and spits out this error: "isolinux: disk error 01, ax = 4200, drive 9f"
the laptop can boot from a linux mint 11 livecd about 50-60 percent of the time. the other 40-50 percent of the time, it also gets stuck at loading "acpi modules" or " /casper/vmlinuz" BUT if it can get to the screen where there is a progress bar, it tends to load the os completely.
while running from a linuxmint 11 livecd with the hdd removed, in a very well conditioned room, suddenly:
with about 15-20 tabs open, after watching a few youtube videos, i lost ctrl-v paste.
then i lost right click functionality,
then i lost the ability to alt-tab into other open programs,
then i lost the ability to click on anything other than what is within the firefox window (i could click on all of the browser buttons, all of the tabs, all of the links but i could not shrink or minimize the window or switch to another program).
then there was lag when saving a txt file to a portable hdd.
this is utterly bizzare. with the ram passing 8 hours of memtest86 without errors and with the hdd removed and with only about 20 tabs open, what could be causing these problems?
furthermore, with the hdd attached:
in vista and linuxmint 11 (both installed to hdd), the mouse problems are currently:
the right mouse button becomes unresponsive after about 3-7 tabs are opened in firefox OR after a large video file is opened in vlc,
the left mouse button will randomly lose functionality after about 10 tabs are opened OR after a large video file is opened in vlc (the lmb will randomly work in some windows and not in others or it becomes completely unresponsive),
usb mice which used to work perfectly fine are no longer recognized and
the pen may not work at all upon boot.
furthermore, there have been 2 longstanding mouse problems that have been with this pc for as long as the current hdd has been in use;
the left mouse button becomes completely unresponsive in flash games (while still working outside of the game) when a moderate number of targets appear (5 enemies),
and the pen has the strange tendency to connect the leading points of successive dashes and lines shortly after those lines are drawn (eg: if i draw a lowercase t, with one line going downward and the other going from left to right, the resulting figure will look like a cross for about .25 seconds before it suddenly and inexplicably transforms into a 'number 4' shape with a very thin line connecting the leading edges of the 2 dashes), thus making it completely useless for drawing and handwriting recognition.
prior to the hdd scans, these mouse problems would occur without fail about 15 seconds (and no sooner, strangely) after the enter password screen appears on vista or immediately upon boot in linuxmint and there would also be incredible lag associated with every mouse click in both vista and linuxmint (including an extra lag of about 7-30 seconds every 3 seconds in vista).
this is the 2nd hdd to fail in this laptop in 2 years, albeit both hdds had a few years of use.
the following TESTS have been conducted:
ran the embedded hp hdd and memory diagnostics , passed with no errors , had no effect
the hdd passed seatools' long test , and the ram passed 8 hours of memtest86 with both sticks of ram connected. i have not (yet) attempted to run memtest with the reverse orientation or with each stick by itself.
here is the crystaldisk info report:
[url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/35/l9ql.png/]l9ql.png[/URL]
the hdd instafailed both smartudm and the 'toshiba smart' test (from hirens boot cd 15.2 )due to not detecting an ide drive.
the toshiba error was: 'NG device defective' ...
the smartudm error was: 'error, ide drive not found'
here are the temps accoding to CPUID HWMonitor 1.23:

clicking the health tab of the free version of hdtune (to check the SMART status) causes the program to become unresponsive.
ran windows memory diagnostic, passed with no errors , had no effect
ran vista disk check ... had no effect ... found bitmap errors, crosslinked files, orphaned files ... can produce logs if desired
ran sfc /scannow ... found numerous missing and broken dlls ... more info in this link:
http://www.pchelpforum.com/xf/threads/hardware-tests-for-malfunctioning-laptop-2730p.154894/#post-99...
the operating temps are not the highest they've ever been ... between 37-40 degrees celcius
ac adapter voltage (checked with multimeter) is perfectly stable and within parameters ...
pc wizard 2012 crashes immediately upon starting and restarts into debug mode ...
another disk check, following a hard shutoff, has resulted in more stabilized behavior; lag and mouse problems only occur if a certain (small) amount of system resources are used (3 tabs in firefox before problems start occuring).
is it possible that some other problem is causing the hdds to fail? i'm wondering if there may be a capacitor problem or something ...
there are some new problems:
i get this message: 'Non-System disk or disk error' (with the main hdd connected) despite the fact that no external drives are connected. usually, turning the pc off and on again resolves this, but i wonder if this is indicative of a bigger issue.
also, it is really difficult to boot from usb for some reason; despite attempting many methods, hirens boot cd had to be burned to a cd before i could use it.

Video AirPlay From Yosemite iMac Lag

When I AirPlay a full screen video to the Apple TV there is a small amount of lag / gitter.
I currently have the 3rd Generation Apple TV, updated.
I am also using AirPlay on an iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
I use an E4200 Cisco router with the latest firmware.
iStrumbler result:
S/N 71 db, Signal -24 dBm, Noise -95 dBm, Channel 157 (I'm only one using this channel in the area), Frequency 5785 MHz.
I have verified both Apple TV and iMac connected directly to my router with same results.
I have been using VLC as my video player.
The only thing that has worked for me was using Beamer http://beamer-app.com
If I use Beamer there is no lag or bitter, perfect video!
I have posted about this similar issue in the Apple TV community and was suggested trying another router, so this morning I purchased the Apple AirPort Express and experienced the same lag/gitter results.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, I rather not purchase additional software (beamer), to resolve this issue.

Thanks @vazandrew for quick response!
I set the Apple TV and iMac both connected directly to my router with the same results.
I have also used istumbler and Apple's Wireless Diagnostics provided with OS X. My signal strength and noise are all strong and normal.
I also moved my wireless router to a new location just to be sure.
I'm using VLC to play the video, maybe there is another better player? The video is running perfectly on the iMac just gitters on Apple TV display, it almost becomes unnoticeable after watching for a bit.

Here is my question: Once my computer downloads updates I get the following line: loginwindow SleepWakeCallback. This has happened several times but now my computer lags so much it feels like I have a windows operating system.

Please help, The problem started with this string downloaded, and now my iMac acts like it has a windos operating system with all the lag time I encounter. Any help with a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.

MP4 Plays Fine in Quicktime, but Audio Lags Near Clip's End in WMP. Huh?

This is weird. I've made several MP4s in Premiere Pro CS6, some only 10 minutes long, and the audio goes a bit out of sync (lagging behind) only in WMP, not Quicktime, when playing the rendered MP4. QT plays it all just fine. Is there something needing to be set in Premiere or AME to make it all stay sync'ed and play fine in any player?
Quick backstory: I shoot 1920x1080p DSLR video at 24fps (23.97#) and I capture audio separately on a Tascam portable at 24-bit 96kHz (which is think is 29.97) and toss it onto a Pr Pro CS6 timeline. I do use the cruddy camera audio just for syncing then ALT+Click to separate the camera's audio track and delete it, leaving the now-synced good audio in place. Then I toss a few transitions and effects (mostly color grading) on the video, nothing fancy, and export out an .MP4 from Premiere which of course fires up AME. I think the problem is the preset I'm picking. A screenshot of my AME settings is attached. I am using one of the presets for Apple TV/iPad/iPhone which is basically renders the video down to 1280x720p with H.264 compression (no surprise that Quicktime plays it back without issue). I'm assuming a codec comes into play here, or just WMP being stupid? I know what a codec is but I don't Premiere which one to use (I assume you can), so if that's the answer please elaborate a bit when you answer, lol. I'm a seasoned photographer and a fairly green video editor (and a lousy video shooter, lol!).
As a further test, I sent the timeline out to an MP4 again but this time I simply chose H.264 and picked the HD 23.976 1080p preset which does use different VBR, etc. That video plays fine in both, but a 10-minute MP4 is almost 2GB! I was hoping for something in the 100mb-150mb range so I could YouSendIt out to people, and the lousy AppleTV/iPhone 4 720p H.264 preset does give me a filesize in that range.
Any thoughts on what to set to get a workable filesize of <200mb with a 720p clip that actually works in WMP as well as QT? I hope I'm even asking the question correctly.
Thanks!

Harm, I didn't pay attention to those settings, I should have. I got hung up in the preset names and figured those were my only choices. How green I am, lol. I made a preset with a Target of 4 (max 6) and VBR 1 Pass, and I knocked the audio down to 128K being it's just speech, and it all worked great. The new file plays in both players perfectly and also plays on my iPad with no jitter. Filesize is about 240mb but that's fine, it works. Problem solved and in the books. BTW, I use a GTX570.
Jim, I agree, VLC is super, it was the only player that would play 5D Mark II files right out of camera back in 2008, on my dual core Dell laptop with a cheesy Nvidia 7900 graphics card. Problem is, the majority of people I'm sending these MP4s to are Mums & Dads in our church, etc, and you know quite well that those folks are running some consumer Dell or HP setup they bought at Costco on closeout.
Funny backstory, when the 5D2 came out in Sept 2008, that was what thrust me into video. So I immediately bought the Prod Premium CS4 Suite (already owned Photoshop for a few years being a stills guy) and installed it on that Dell 17" laptop I mentioned above. After getting the 5D2 finally in Jan 2009, I actually had the nerve to take my first attempt at creating a video in Premiere and encoding it on that laptop. I literally had to kill AME partway through because I was seconds away from burning out my processor (I had been using RealTemp because of how hot that thing ran using Word, lol). It was that event that made me convince myself to start researching how to build a real editing PC (using an i7 920 at the time). I probably drove Harm nuts back then with all my questions, lol! But this rig has been my workhorse and has been through countless upgrades, the only thing remaining from the original 2009 build is the case and the power supply.
I know, you guys didn't need all that info, just felt like shooting the breeze. Thanks again!

Lag When Displaying 1080p

I just recently bought the T410 thinkpad with pretty good specs. The laptop i bought is exactly the one on this link all the way to the right (express ship one). Link did not work but it has an i7 processor, 4g of ram, Intel HD Graphics, 7200 320g hard drive,
I also bought a displayport to hdmi adapter and have some 1080p mkv files that i want to watch on my 40" 1080p HDTV. Whenever i try to watch these movies however, it always lags. I feel that this computer is powerful enough to watch this without lag. If the graphics card the problem? If not what is / is there anyway to fix it?
P.S. I use VLC media player
Thanks...

your GPU shouldn't have any problem handling large 1080p files, since the last generation of the intel gpu, they were already using hardware accelerated decoding for 1080p movie.
I think the problem is with software and drivers. Also, which version of the MKV are you using?

Installed Radeon 6870 - bad video performance in VLC

I've added a Radeon GPU to my i3-530 which used to handle video. I installed the opensource drivers and I get occasional lags, choppy parts during video playback using VLC. I tried adding the following to my radeon conf as per wiki but that caused tearing:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection
I assume KMS is enabled, since that's the default. I don't know how to check though. What could be going wrong?
Thanks

I tried. The way I understand he's simply telling me to install the packages he has listed, correct? I did that via AUR and yaourt. As I said, I could install most of them but not mesa-full. I'm trying again now so I can post the error I get....
Didn't do anything different than the last two times and this time mesa-full installed successfully. Some packages still don't want to cooperate but I'll reboot and see where I stand.
Problem persists. I get an error installing lib32-libdrm-git:
error: target not found: gcc-multilib
and I think that x86_64 doesn't apply to me on my intel CPU so now I've installed everything and the videos still have their stutter moments. Makes me want to cry. I should be studying for exams but this is such a nice excuse not to...

Airplay files from device lag/stutter

Hello apple friends.
I got a apple tv. i use this brilliant app called air video HD wich works fine for streaming movies from PC to the apple tv. no lag and no stutter.
Also, mirroring games like modern combat 4 work without stutter. there is a delay in controls wich makes it unplayable, but no stutter.
...but here comes the problem. while air video HD can stream movies just fine(probaly by converting on-the-fly) it cannot play exactly desame file from my iphone 5s or ipad air to the third-gen apple tv. Well it actually can (tried VLC from app store) but there is alot stutter.
Its weird how everything else that i stream is without problems or stutter....but playing files locally(1080p, i want no less) results in annoying stutter.
How can i fix this? Is there a better player to use? Is on-the-fly converting and streaming consuming less data so i need faster connection?
i would like to add that the apple tv is wireless set up. no cable to router. only will do this cable to router if you really think this will solve the issue.
any additional info required?
Thanks!

You are using the most complicated and failure prone options. Streaming video over WifI rarely works well. In your case you are trying to do it twice concurrently. One WiFi connection to the device with streaming video and then a second wireless connection to AppleTV. On top of which AirPlay is horribly bug ridden and un-reliable.
Just select the content you want to watch from the ATV menus. It works very well and with none of the issues you get with AirPlay.
And to your last question yes you will have fewer issues if you use a wired connection for ATV.

Quicktime player app causes screen updates to lag?

I notice gui refreshes are paused by 0.5 seconds every 20 seconds if quicktime player app is loaded.
Example: Load quicktime player app. Now drag a finder around continuously. On my system, every 20 seconds, the finder window will not follow the mouses movements for about 0.5 seconds. About 0.5 seconds after the pause, the window will start to follow the mouses movements again.
No movie needs to play. There is no load on the machine at all.
There are no errors reported in the system logs.
If I quit the app, the problem vanishes.
If i play movies using VLC, there is no lag at all.

Ok so after a few rounds of lugging the computer to the Apple Store's genius bar. I narrowed the problem down to my Samsung synchMaster 244T monitor. This monitor works great with my MacBook Pro and linux machines but for some reason it causes my screen lags on the Mac Pro.
I bought an Apple Cinema display and the problem vanished!
Very odd.

Lagging... Not running video smoothly anymore.

I have an iBook G4 running 10.5.6 with 1.5GB of ram and a 160GB hard drive...
So here's the problem... Recently I've had trouble with programs lagging for several seconds before responding or taking a long time to start up. Also, video is no longer running smoothly for me. Even quicktime videos and other movie files saved to my hard drive are jerky. I did some spring cleaning and I now have 11GB of free space but that didn't seem to help. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could check or change in order to get things running smoothly again? Is it possibly a virus?
I did check the S.M.A.R.T. status on my hard drive and it says "verified."

Here's some things to try, in addition to S.U.'s suggestions.
1) Play the videos while logged in as another user
2) purchase/borrow an external cooling pad and have that running under your computer while working
3) play the videos using another player--I like VLC, personally.
How old is your iBook? How old is the hard drive?

VLC is lagging
