Hi!
After upgrading Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 (32 bits), VLC is
starting to
have some strange behavior, slowing down images over voices.
The, when I see an Xvid video that before the upgrade worked,
it has a
little delay. It's annoying to see a movie or a music clip and
know that an
actor says something and a second after that the voice says
what he said a
second ago...
Please, let me know if there is some workaround for this.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention.
Best regards,


I experienced that after ripping a DVD to an iso file to my
harddrive. When VLC played it back, the sound was ~slightly~
delayed, enough to be annoying. So, I tried a different ripper. I
used handbrake and ripped it to an mp4 file. Plays just peachy.

I didn't thing such a tried and true multimedia app like VLC would
just fold up on me. Turns out it didn't, it was the quality of the
file I was playing back that didn't have the sound synced properly
to the video.

YMMV though, is it doing that to ALL of your files or just a few?
Store-bought or homegrown? :) Ric


Hi Ric!
This is happening with most of my AVI files.
The same files were working great with VLC just before the upgrade.
I think it's solved now...I tried with Banshee, and it worked. Then I tried again with VLC, and it worked not. Then I rebooted, and now everything is working just fine.
Mysteries of life...
Thanks!
Best regards,

Which vlc are you running - the one from ubuntu repos or the one from videolan itself? I have always had problems (eg, with vlc not even working) with the ubuntu vlc. Go to videolan.org and use the 1-click install and install their version.
