Hi

Have been facing this issue a lot lately. Thought of creating a thread for this. When i download some video files (.flv, .mkv mostly) and try to forward the seek bar, the whole video shuts down. Is There a way this can be fixed. Any idea what this can be caused due to.? This happens even if i redownload them. This is not specific to any particular site or any downloading source.

Thanks

Mark

Hmm odd issue. What version of VLC are you using?

I would uninstall it and delete the preferences also, then reboot and install the latest version (v2.0.1) from here:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I would also update your video card drivers while you're at it!

Seeking in videos is a LOT slower when accessing the file over a LAN rather than a local machine - especially HD (720p or 1080p) videos.

I think this is a software issue more than a networking issue, unless you're trying to view a video stream online.

What operating system are you using? Is VLC up to date? How long have you had the issue for?

I am not streaming online. Using VLC 1.1.11, been more than 6 months.tried to ignore this thinking it was file specific issues or just bad /corrupted download

Where are you storing the files when you download them, on the local drive - or networked drive, usb drive?

Storing file in C:\

Would give it a shot, updating the vlc..but drivers for intel are released from Hp (using HP Probook 4530s), the updated ones on intel website dont work. i try to update windows frequently...so i will only receive driver update when Hp decides to release it for its probook.

You're using the old version of VLC so update it to the latest one (link is in my first post).

VLC updates have nothing to do manufacturer specific graphic driver updates, I was merely adding the graphic driver update as another precaution.

There have been a lot of bug fixes and enhancements made in the newest VLC update (as well as a UI refresh) so this would be your best bet; see here:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/2.0.1.html

please add VLC to the DEP exceptions list to see if it would work. Then report here, and tell us your findings....

Basically here is my problem : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/microsoft-visual-c-run-time-library-error-while/57db2928-cad9-4ef2-a687-362f98bd05f2

Check this error when i try to add VLC to DEP:

post-431588-0-01580100-1335848310_thumb.

Have you checked all your runtimes??

I dont get the runtime thing...its slightly differnt. As i move the seek bar the video retunrs to start position. n then the error pops up "VLC has stopped working"

Please check the runtimes thought photoshop does the same thing with me sometimes, however it, at least, lets me disable DEP for it and it fixed just about all the crashes I did have... ;-)

You can try reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes and redistributables (2005 and 2008, depending on what you have installed)? Or I believe there is an option to repair them also.

Or you could try installing the K-Lite Codec Pack 'Full' from here (may be a simpler solution):

http://www.codecguid...download_kl.htm

This will extend the functionality of Windows Media Player to include support for MKV and FLV file formats etc...

"Contains everything you need to play all popular audio and video file formats.

Supports playback of AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, MPEG, MOV, TS, M2TS, RMVB, OGM, WMV, 3GP, WEBM, FLAC, Wavpack, and many more formats!"

I used to use this (worked well) but found VLC Player 'cleaner'...

Yeah try re-installing C++ redist as that's whats kicking up errors.

Installed Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes and redistributables 2010 x64. (from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=14632)

Still same with .flv and .mkv

OK try the K-Lite Codec Pack Full option that I posted above then.

You may have to actually remove or repair any other MS C++ Runtimes that were already installed on your system, i.e. not the 2010 version that you just installed...

stay away from k-lite... it damages your codecs and is very destructive... I suggest CCCP instead. I had terrible luck with k-lite. I had to reformat my sister's computer becuase my lil bro installed k-lite on it and her video playback was really bad and some files that were playing before didn't... tons of trouble... tried to get around not formatting, couldn't no matter what I did. CCCP works like a charm. Also please note that K-Lite will degrade the performance of certain games as well that use DXVA filters and stuff like the Fallout and Elder scrolls games (oblivion and skyrim) had a lot of issues with crashing and using the k-lite codec pack.

Yeah I was just suggesting it as kind of a last resort as I don't like to use it either, although it has never caused me any issues.

VLC is great though!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
