When I play videos on XBMC it stutters every couple of seconds. However, when I play the same videos on VLC there is no lag at all. On XBMC I tried playing with hardware acceleration adn without but it still lags. The movies I am trying to play on XBMC are .avi and 720/1080 .mkv files, which all play fine on VLC. Also, I'm using the latest XBMC 10.1

Intel, Nvidia or AMD GPU? and a debug log would also help....

Try toggling the true/fake fullscreen button in the video settings to see if that fixed anything.

can you launch xbmc from this folder- xbmc_hd_audio. i preset most of everything.

the gpu is onboard ATI Radeon 3000

toggling fake full screen didnt work and neither did the xbmc hd audio

have you download the latest catalyst from here: Graphics Drivers & Software

i noticed most of the errors are related to audio. can you launch xbmc from the above post #4, and play your movie using it.

Can you test by disabling aero and see if this continues to give the same symptoms.

do you have log? maybe, you might try to lower your screen resolution.

Yeah I have EXACTLY the same problem -
file plays 100% perfect in VLC player, but lags in XBMC.

have you tried enabling DXVA?

I had a similar issue....not sure its the same as yours...but here it goes...

I was using xbmc find ... no issues... (I then decided to over clock my processor)

eMachines ER1402-05....

Stock speed was 1.7 Ghz, I over clocked it to 1.9Ghz+ (bus speed changed from 200 to 225-that's all)

The video stutter about every second (CPU usage was 30%)....

Set the processor speed back to stock, 100% okay - 1080p with hardware well acceleration only 35 to 40 % processor usage

I hope you find a solution to your problem

sometime it is best to leave it alone. if over clock cause issues, i would stop doing it.

thanks for all the help everyone, but none of the suggestions were working. i decided to reinstall windows and now everything works fine without any lagging video playback
