When you play high-definition videos on a VLC player, you might have noticed a quirky freezing issue! The video hangs and skips some frames while the audio is perfectly fine. Well, this will occur due to many reasons. One of the reasons might be due to either older version of VLC player is running on your PC or it requires some customization in settings configuration.<\/p>\n

Luckily, you can fix the issue of video freezing while playing in VLC using some methods. If you have to play HD videos that consume a lot of space without any trouble, then you have a couple of things to do.<\/p>\n

Maximize\/Increase the Cache Values<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here, the primary concept is to increase the number of seconds videos are cached. The video needs to be cached by VLC. So you can increase the cache to make sure that the video plays without any difficulty.<\/p>\n

No matter whether the videos are being played locally from a hard drive or from a network location, VLC needs to cache it. It preloads a certain portion of the video from the hard drive to your computer\u2019s main memory or RAM. Then, the player accesses it and plays it. It happens constantly as a video is being played, and for the HD videos, buffering larger portions to the memory helps with the constant lag.<\/p>\n
