Doron Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 hey. when i'm trying to run a mkv or HD wmv, the VLC gives me that error: ffmpeg: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?) i must say that the computer is really slow, even using FF, but it's only in osx (10.4.8 jas) in xp my pc is fast, and i run HD files with no problem or slowlyness. what can i do? is there any other player or codecs? I got: amd athlon 64 2ghz 1gb ram nvidia fx5500 128 agp tnx m8s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Is this with all mkv or HD videos or just some? I have seen this before and it wasn't a hardware limitation but seemed to be related to a poorly/improperly encoded video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLoliPopx Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Mac OS X fail at properly decoding an HD (especially h.264) video. It does not use hardware acceleration available from video card, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foodie Monster Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 You might want to ditch VLC, and install the Perian plug-in and use Quicktime. That's what I do, and it works like a charm. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krassi Vassev Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The best solution is MPlayer OSX. Google for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
