Thank you so much! All it took was one setting change and it's fixed! I'm so grateful! Such a relief to have stumbled upon your video after so much searching and researching. I tried so many different settings changes from other tutorials, but none fixed my choppy playback of my VLC screen recordings, except yours! Thank you!
oh boy.... that's what it was all about, I have been watching choppy videos for years and all I had to do was to watch this guy's video... thank you buddy
Playing back FX30 4k23.98 footage was stuttery until I changed the Video Settings > Output > OpenGL video output for windows. It fixed my issue! Thank you Scottie.
Actually worked. DO NOT FREAR all u ppl that are still trouble shooting, this is the 5th video I've watched, and this little "Open GL output for Windows" thing actually fixed it. JUST KEEP LOOKING MORE AND MORE UP AND HAVE FAITH!!!
After watching like 15 videos, you finally helped me out. Output OpenGL for windows worked for me, but CPU and GPU usage is around 15%. Ryzen 3700x and Nvidia 3080, I dont if its normal or not. Thanks a lot!
I have VLC on my SONY google TV . When I play large 4K HDR movie files , it stutters . Can someone please advise how to stop this stuttering on VLC for android TVs ...
Thank you for your recommendations and it did make sense. I'm trying to view 4K video produced by my drone on a 3440 x 1440 monitor. I have a Dell Optiplex 780 with a GTX 1050 Ti GPU. The PC is over 10 years old with a Core 2 Quad CPU so I realize that I'm pushing the limits even with the NVIDIA card. The drone video hesitates when the drone is doing a Yaw maneuver or flying sideways. Both of these maneuvers are not very cine like and should be avoided but the hesitation just makes them look even worse. In addition to VLC, I've tried 5Kviewer and KMPlayer with almost identical results. What DOES work is Windows Media Player where the playout is flawless. I wish I had tried it first! What I may be of interest is that Windows Media Player uses about 5% CPU and around 20% GPU. All the others use about 12% CPU and 20% GPU. Also, Windows Media Player can play 8K video with significant lag and the others can't play it at all. The Optiplex 780's most significate limitation (other then the CPU) is bus speed.
Video is usually a nightmare, even if you have a super-modern machine. It's the same for rendering video. The software you use, the VERSION of that editing software, and drivers all mix together such that 1 puter will render a 60-min vid in 2 hours, and another will do it (same quality) in 6 minutes. That's for FullHD... Switch to 4K or 8K, and all bets are off!
The OpenGL video output for windows worked for me on a newer laptop that came out in 2020! Thanks!!! Edit: I have a pretty high-end laptop, BTW. Asus Zephuus Duo 15 SE GX551QS
Help please have a issue when I launch a movie the video will play until I click on the player once I do that it will just glitch out back at the start. Yet if I open any tab and place it in front of the player then it plays. I tried a full removal and fresh install and it still does it.
I am creating a video for TH-cam that I recorded on FB live - bad idea I know now...but I want to save my teaching - it skips in the audio and I was hoping there is a way to fix the skipping. I am using iMovie to create my content. HELP! Please, tech guru...hugs, Cyndi
Nope. Thought this would be the one but the video is still choppy. 0 to 1.7% CPU usage and 3.7% GPU with a 720p video on an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3gb. Frustrating like crazy!
@@ScottiesTech You would think but I have the latest driver from Nvidia and have no conflicts. I can even play War Thunder in movie mode with no problems. I thought it actually might be the vids because I downloaded several at 1080P but now even 720P does the same. I even tried both windows video and movie players.
@@josephpearlman4010 Hmm... What happens if you choose Direct3D11 under Hardware Decoding, and the same in the Video tab? That should get at least 1080p working smoothly...
@@ClonedTyranny What's the CPU / Graphics usage in % in Task Manager when playing a 1080p video? Is there something else listed there that's also eating up CPU/GPU power?
HDR and SVP smooth playback are both disabled by this. I have a mid to high end PC but HDR videos are too dark. If I try to adjust the brightness inside VLC, while having smooth playback with the external program SVP enabled, then I get a lot of skipped frames, even though I don't max out CPU or GPU usage. I can disable SVP or disable the image adjustments inside VLC and in both cases it runs fine, but when both are active, it's choppy.
If anyone here isn't a VLC fanboy and would like to use something that's more powerful and also open source like VLC, just use Smplayer. Smplayer is the best player out there period. It can easily handle 4k video and it doesn't have frame drops is very customizable. Its very user friendly and gives little explanations for everything when you put your mouse over a setting. Its free and open source just like VLC and is available for both Windows and Linux, and uses the free and open source Mplayer engine, the best most powerful media player engine out there. If you get frame freezing in smplayer, its not that the player isnt working right, its because your computer is running out of ram and its your computer that is the problem, not smplayer. Smplayer can handle anything you throw at it as long as your computer can also handle it. Ive played 100 gigabyte, uncompressed audio and video 4k movie files through smplayer and I've had no issues. Its actually because of this problem in VLC that I started looking for something else. VLC would have very bad frame drops, color distortion, and just couldn't handle what I wanted it to do. I've however never once had a problem with smplayer before and I've been using it nearly every day for 3 years (I've seen almost 2000 movies now lol.) on a mid-range computer and it's something that I truly cherish because of how amazing it is. Its default look isn't that great, it comes in like a legacy looking interface, but you can change all that with different settings and skins you can download and install. So there's not much I can list as cons for smplayer, it really is the best in my opinion.
... I only run linux (private/home), and use VLC from the start (know some of the developers ... same guy that 'helped' build Blender.) Never had any issues with VLC but I must admit always 'tuned' settings by default (incl. eventual Win. register). You are very convincing ... might even give this one a try, just for the heck of it. Thanks in advance for the fun I'll be having... 😁 🙏🌹
No way...... i am trying to play the same movie! LOL. The problem im getting is that every 10 seconds the movie stutters bad and the video goes all funny for a second than returns to normal. I am using VLC Nightly build 4.0 because the video looks like HDR quality. The colors are amazing but not the playback :(
Can someone help me with my problem, I'm actually need to fix a clip that I recorded with "shadowplay" and it's super laggy with video and audio problems
Can play Blu-ray just not 4K so guess I'll stick to Blu-ray for now. Also I see I am not running on a dedicated graphics card just on-board graphics. I bet that's my main problem. Actually surprised I can even run Blu-ray with just on-board graphics.

Anyone using VLC and are on less than 3, update it now. Metasploit could give a hacker full access to your computer on V2.
I've been using VLC since forever and never knew about this. Cheers!
Scottie , watching your videos I feel like I know you for loooong time , be well , :)
Great information. Thank you Scottie and Cletus!
Thank you! I was getting very frustrated watching choppy video playback and not understanding what was going on.
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
I thought it was a .MOV issue (10bit 4K files from camera) but this solved it after changing so many settings. Thank you!
I know! I thought I was going crazy, too.
I have VLC on my SONY google TV .
When I play large 4K HDR movie files , it stutters .

Thanks Scottie. Is Cletus still alive?? Not heard him squeak lately. Getting concerned. :(
Nothing is working for me, I am trying to play 4k video from my Sony A7iv that I recorded!

Hi Wayne, funny enough I have the same problems with my Mavic 2 pro and this older Optiplex desktop too.
I had a few DVDs that would play, but audio only. Switching to OpenGL fixed this as well. Now every DVD works fine. ( Linux machine.)
I use Linux too, try smplayer (:
lol changing the video setting worked... 😎 ty

Used this method. It worked. The video output was not available, but it was after an update.

Alas, if the audio is choppy, it's probably choppy in the recording... So I'm afraid it's a do-over. :(

Easy: not needing to transcode to FullHD.
Seems easy enough. But there's no option to turn it off if you're using a Mac.
Great video thumbs up!
thank you for your usefull video. it saved me time, very appretiated!

Yeah, depending which integrated graphics + driver, 4K might be too much.
