VLC sound choppy playing DVD

[db_404]

Hi,

Recently VLC has started having choppy/stuttering sound when playing DVDs. It seems to be a VLC issue as MPlayer is able to play ok, however I'm not sure what can have changed to cause VLC to start having problems, it was working just fine recently.

Thanks

More research..

OK so I think I've found the source of the problem, but no real idea how to fix it. If I run vlc with -vv I see output such as:

Code: Select all

I also see:

Not entirely sure where to look from here.
