Likely a Mac related problem. I have no trouble with VLC on my Windows machine nor on my work iMac. However, the home iMac has issues.
In my administrator account on the machine the video is fine, but in my wife's non-privileged account the video can stutter. And all video stutters--flash, VLC, QuickTime. And it comes and goes with various OS updates.
I've never been able to find the root cause.

When playing videos just on battery on my notebook, I could play much longer with mplayer and the CPU cooler stayed very slow/silent. This difference was very notable on my PowerPC notebook but also later on x86 notebooks. But I never tried it on Windows.
- drivebyacct2 16y agoSame story, use better video drivers and an updated version of VLC. VLC with vdpau on my system screams.
