VLC fixed my video / core shutdown issue?

[mark34]

I don't have enough time under the belt yet, but I think that getting rid of Flip4Mac and instead using VLC for WMV files may have cured my sporadic core shutdown problems.

I was at the point where wmv files were almost instantly stuttering. Yesterday I ran through about 10 short wmv files on vlc and not even a hiccup.

Can anyone else relate to this experience or want to try?

VLC is a lot less intensive then piping anything through a Quicktime plug-in.

Interesting if true. It seems that Flash and WMV are the Macs biggest weak points these days. Then again, just before I got my first Mac you couldn't even *play* WMV files on a Mac!

I used VLC before Flip4, still get some probs with VLC though when starting it up.

Sometimes it just seems to crash and I need to do a force quit
