2GB memory cure?

[connor25]

one issue I did have was when I forward on a movie in VLC sometimes it sticks for up to 10 seconds and then carries on playing.

Would a 2GB memory stick cure this?

and where is the cheapest 2GB stick now available?

Thanks!!!!

When the problem occurs does the video seem to stick/tear and maybe becomes blocky?

[connor25]

more just sticks with the image you were playing before you moved the slider say 10 mins ahead.

I believe that’s an issue with VLC.

It happens on my desktop computer with 10GB RAM when I seek (move the slider) in VLC as well. The frame sticks for a while. have you tried any other players + codecs?

[connor25]

no not tried any other ones as vlc you dont need to install codecs etc, is there another like it without installing codecs?

Does 2GB make a big difference anyhow on other programs opening etc?

Thanks for replying

If you open a lot of programs then yes the 2GB will make a difference, same goes if you need to open some large images in an image editor. When you open a program the bottleneck is the hard drive rather than the RAM though.

I don’t know of any other media player which comes with it’s own codecs inbuilt.

With VLC I don’t have the problem with all videos, though I’ve never bothered to work out which ones (codecs) cause the problem, as I rarely use it now. There may be some setting which helps to fix the problem.

Does the same thing happen if you use Media Player Classic?

I’ve used a lot of different players and right now I’m sticking to Media Player Classic, with the right Codec’s installed it seems flawless so far.
