Vlc jumped --- very weird

[Jackrinse]

Hi all
First post here, hope you can help!
I have just moved house.
Whilst using my old iMac in the last house I downloaded some movies in HD.
Some of the movies were jumpy.
In the new house using a mac mini and new HD tv no more jumping.
The sound in the tv room was awful so moved tv and Hifi to different room.
Still new tv and same mac mini but jumpy is back and seems worse!!
Makes no sense.
Logically my mind goes to connects but they are the same as the last room???
Please help.....
Thanks

What sort of movie? Frame size? Frame rate? What codec? Perian being used? Audio codec? Audio bitrate? How is mini connected to the TV? Which mini? (specs, RAM, etc.)

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I found the issue in display settings.
It was set to 24 hz instead of 60 hz.
Cheers

Good that you found it. I am a big fan of VLC but I'll warn you that their Mac versions are more unstable than their Windows and Linux versions. I've had VLC on a Mac just completely nut out and crash on DVDs that it played fine under Windows. I strongly advise upgrading all Macs you have to the latest and greatest VLC that they will support for added stability.
