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 Show Settings : All) | Caching value in ms.

This has still not worked for me. Anything else I should try?
Your Welcome,
I am glad my article helped you out.
Thanx,
This worked great. I am running Windows 7 on an older comp. and this worked great. Thanks for the tip...I'm running 9.10 Ubuntu on a laptop I'll try it there now.

In the new version of VLC, choose show setting all
Goto Tools->Preferences, on the bottom, choose "show settings" all. The rest of the menus are the same.
What version is this VLC player because I have the newer version and it doesn't have advanced options..
Worked perfectly. Thanks!
Thanks man, this seems to have stopped my VLC from halting and skipping. Sweet!
great, this worked
have to restart VLC post settings-modification in order for changes to take effect.
How do I do this?
