I have a huge AVI file. The video player (VLC) stops every about 10 seconds because the HDD doesn't read fast enough. (details here)
I want to be able to play this video. Anyone knows a workaround?
Is it possible to load up a larger part of the video in the RAM maybe? Is there a way to do that in VLC? Or another Video player that can do that?
edit: here's part of the output of running vlc with the -vvv parameter. I captured the part when the playback stopped. The output covers two stops.
