Video tearing on VLC player
« Thread Started on Jun 16, 2011, 1:07am »

I have 2 machines - the first plays video files fine on VLC, the second tears pretty badly, even at low resolutions (I'd read up that VLC tears with high definition video for some)

The machine with the problem is more than capable of playing a few crappy videos:

Sempron 3400+
ASUS K8S-MX (754)
2x512mb Twinmos CH-5
9200SE

Desktop resolution used is either 640x480i 60hz or 800x600i 50hz, depending what I'm doing.

Is there anything that could have overlooked? (triple buffering, sync refresh options)

If you have an Nvidia or ATI graphics card try installing the proprietary graphics driver, see the user manual for instructions.

If they are installed try disabling hardware acceleration within VLC. (This causes random issues within Parole so I disable it by default).

I get this problem on my computer but only when running xfce's compositor. Linux doesn't like my S3 unichrome video chip, so I have to live without all the cool effects. I don't need that stuff anyway, right?

Nahhh.

But it is kind of nice and doesn't take much resources.
I went back to my built in Intel video (removed old Nvidia card) and turned on Compositing.
