Everyone kept saying to turn on Vsync in nvidia control panel but that did nothing. Your fix worked for me, Ty.

[@mohamedirfaanparker8490]

BRILLIANT!!! Thanks so much, been trying to get this sorted for ages

[@KingdomSilverStar]

WORKED 100% on my VLC 4K lag and skipping when playing high res videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ROCK!!!

[@homemetalstudios759]

So far this seems to be working great on my issues, much thanks!

[@amantyagi2000]

Bro my VLC media player taking to much time to load or play a video in starting.
Your solution not able to solve this problem.

[@veebee3969]

Thank you for the video. My issue is when editing videos, there is time lag between pressing 'STOP' button and the actual stop in recording. The recording goes on for another second or two after pressing the STOP button. Is there a way to prevent this? Thank you in advance.

[@peterwho9380]

Worked like a charm, thanks!

[@WiljanWiljan]

Have made the changes suggested in VLC. But my issue is still the same......I am playing 4K video on my pc and same video also on my 4k tv. On my 4k tv the video looks much smoother (eg when turns are made with the video camera), but on my pc these turns look very fast and you almost think you are turning the video recording way to fast. But on my tv the result looks much smoother. Not sure what to do about this for PC? I have a I9 processor, 32gb, 4k monitor, rtx2060 super. Any ideas?

[@muchasgracias108]

Thank You! 🙏 it helped on capturing media streams from being very horrible to just wonderful. 👍Have a nice Day! ❤❤

[@jusththatuser]

Thank man this works! It was really annoying how it used to freez. Even resorted to the "zero" features classic media player

[@tetebery93]

THIS WORKED SO WELL THANK YOU!

[@thespacesbetweenstudio3346]

this finally fixed my problem. THANK YOU!!

[@Tenteth]

Built a new computer in September, 23. More than enough to run 4k videos without problems. VLC was very laggy with 2160p+. This helped 100%. Thanks so much. THIS IS THE FIX. (assuming your video card/PC can actually handle 4k graphics)

[@thelam1129]

So weak video card/PC can cause this problem?

[@KB-ke1nt]

​@@thelam1129 4K is GPU intensive ,so... yeah our PC cannot handle it. But still I think it will run a bit laggy even if hardware is not up to the mark.

[@mkravi91993]

Finally solved my problem...but still there is little lag.

[@IanSandback]

My Dude! been using VLC for viewing 4K drone and Go Pro footage. Always choppy. Was thinking it was SD Cards, Recording settings, HDD speeds..... nope. VLC issue. Thank you!

[@Fithealthywellbeing-vk4nd]

Thanks for this. Flashing has stopped but I still get a black screen with a slight flashing of the VLC cone. Audio but no video. Can you help further? Many Thanks

[@carrielong4283]

I just followed the steps but now I can't play any DVDs anymore. I tried to go back and change everything back to the original settings, but that still didn't help. Do you have advice how to play my DVDs again? I restarted my computer each time. Thanks in advance.

[@AngelFreak_]

Thanks for sharing. Is there a way to prevent frame by frame advancing to freeze? It always freezes after a few frames.

[@soulcalibre4891]

Any one know how to fix "seek/skip forward lags"? When I use short seek/skip or medium seek/skip shortcut keys the video takes a while to move to next 5-10 seconds. However, there is no lag with the audio when I skip. This is happening with only downloaded videos from websites such as TH-cam or Metacafe.. anyone know how to fix? The above didn't work!
Please help, thanks 🙏🏻

[@ProMentalStudios]

In any case awesome vid bro, thanks. Ill check back on it. Lotta stuff inside VLC i wasn't aware of, good stuff!

[@yahiazaatit7679]

IDK what you exactly did to my settings via this video but this works so thanks

[@shreydoshi3729]

It works! Thank you so much.

[@techrama9642]

Thanks a lot man worked perfectly

[@MKSpot29]

Firstly i wasn't believing that it'll work but seriously, this worked insanely. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@KYM_KEAM]

Thank you mahn it's working perfectly👍

[@m3d137]

Tried all you suggested, but still not working. My problem is when I play 8bit video it's working and when I play 10 bit video it's not. It's lagging and choppy and the moving objects gets blurry and mushy. Could you give me any advice? Thanks ( by the way my video editor program, plays everything perfectly but not vlc)

[@joshuadansby2874]

Same

[@silly8829]

sometimes it also depends on the reading speed of usb

[@m3d137]

@@silly8829 I'm playing it straight from the computer

[@alexisherbert687]

idk why a choose to look for a different media player and have problems with how it looks in hdr, rather just look for the solution of why it was geting laggy in vlc haha, you saved me a lot

[@Anonymous-kg7yg]

Please help I tried this but nothing works, so issue is if I am playing a larger size file and jump to a point it just does not load, I have GTX 3060 and ryzen 3500 and video is saved In nvme drive, I do see that in task manage the vlc is reading the file but then I again try to seek it just freeze, however if I normally play a video it works perfectly fine.
Please let me know how i can fix this

[@stinkrat1016]

Amazing mate it worked for me. Thanks a bunch!

[@Nova-gh5yr]

This helped SO MUCH
It isn't perfect but it's okay it's at least playable for my games
Before this it was unplayable
I wouldn't play games like splatoon where I need that perfect input lag but stuff like Zelda is fine
Ty so much for the help

[@terror7215]

Worked for me, the video playin' smoothly ty bro.

[@marisa_xyz]

It works 🙂Many thanks!

[@super8tovideo]

Worked for me but for those who think this video is uploaded in bad quality. it is not, but I had to change the settings in TH-cam because it was automatically choosing a resolution of 360 I chose 1080 and then it was very clear.

[@tamilpasanga2613]

Bro its really working 100•/•
For smooth and no struck and no laging issues .Thank u so much bro

[@badavathpavankalyan2714]

Its working. Thanks a lot ❤

[@TheRayInPV]

Also if you are video recording in 4k on your cellphone, make sure you are not recording with the HEVC codec. Even though I tried these tricks it would still lag. I disabled the HEVC codec on my phone and now it playsback properly on my laptop.

[@badass6705]

Stop using vlc it's shitty. Move tonkm player

[@badass6705]

Km player

[@seirios79]

[@vishnukr4573]

you are absolutely awesome, saved my day. Thanks a lot buddy

[@thomasd2695]

I ended up reverting to a previous release of vlc (30.0.16) on ubuntu 22.04 from vlc (30.0.18) and everything was fixed no tweaking needed. 18 was pegging the cpu usage almost 100% and 16 uses 25%. Hope this helps someone.
