VLC Choppy Picture

Choppy picture occurs when VLC does not cache enough of the video ahead of time. Increasing the file cache is essential for anyone who watches videos or listens to music over a network share (Samba, NFS).

Increase the file cache value between 1000-5000 ms, this will allow VLC to cache more video. This will prevent choppy video and increases the playback smoothness.

Change the following preference in VLC: Input / Codecs | Access Modules | File | (click Advanced) | Caching value in ms.
