VLC image - voice delay

09-26-2011, 04:05 AM

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?

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!

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.

Why? VLC (natty and maverick from the repos) works just fine for me:
$ apt-cache policy vlc
vlc:
Installed: 1.1.9-1ubuntu1.3

Version table:

Try that with Windows! Sometimes Linux just fixes itself. I love it.
Congrats! Ric

Why?

Simple. It just didn't work for me. I think that I may have mentioned
this already many months ago and was it suggested that I install the
version from videolan.org.

VLC (natty and maverick from the repos) works just fine for me:
$ apt-cache policy vlc

Perhaps we have different needs. I use it 99% of the time to watch
digital television and 1% to watch DVDs.

The other "perhaps" is that the repos finally caught up with the latest
and now have same version as videolan.org.

Who knows? The world works in a mysterious way :-) .

Hi

I have to agree with Ric. There is an option under the audio section which allows you to alter the delay of the audio.
