Hello,
I am using VLC and Combined Community Codec Pack as my main media players for video playback, and randomly, usually every 30 seconds or so, the video stutters for around 5 seconds (everything moves in jitters and slowmotion, very laggy, the sound stays normal though), then returns back to normal. Another 20 - 30 seconds pass, and it does it again. If I click back to see the parts that stuttered first, they plays fine and smooth, but then some other part of the video will stutter in a few seconds. Some of the videos even have low resolution like 480p and this problem still happens, so it's not because my system cannot handle the file sizes or resolution.
I tried increasing the File Caching in VLC to 1000ms (from 300ms) but it didn't make a difference. The same videos work perfectly on my 2 laptops (which are much weaker than this system), this is happening on my gaming rig.
Specs in case they are useful:
i7-4790 Haswell
GTX 980Ti
32 GB RAM
The weird thing is, a friend told me about a media player called Splash by Mirillis. I gave it a shot and it works! The occasional lagging is gone
Only problem is I have quite a few WebM files and JPSmile files, and Splash doesn't support those file types :/ The common formats like AVI, MP4, MKV are working perfectly though.
This doesn't happen when watching videos on YouTube and other sites, only on my files saved to the hdds/ssd.
One thing I did notice although minimal, is that I opened Resource Manager and this process called System Interrupts sometimes spikes to 7% when the video lagging is happening. Just mentioning this in case it makes a difference.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance for any help.
