jkb Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 It appears that there is a problem with the latest VLC Player 3.0.11 MP4 files play perfectly in an earlier version 3.0.8, but the sound breaks up when playing in the latest version. The same MP4 file will play OK in Windows Media Player & in PTE. We have emailed VLC about this problem. Best not to update yet if you have an earlier version. Jill Quote

Barry Beckham Posted January 6, 2021 Report Posted January 6, 2021 I experienced a little of that distortion with VLC recently with a screen capture video I made. I thought it may have been a fault that had crept into the stitching of several takes. So, I re-created the video, but the distortion was the same. I tried the same video on YouTube and it was fine, so I tried the one on my PC through media player and it was OK there too. Not tried it since on VLC, so not sure if the issues are still there or not Quote
jkb Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Posted January 6, 2021 Having done some more tests it appears to be happening with MP4 files created with M.Objects software. We are currently receiving entries for a competition & these are the ones causing the problems. VLC have come back to say no one else has of yet reported a problem & wanted to know what the Codec was. We have replied that it does appear to be related to M.Objects. MP4's made with PTE both Windows & Mac versions play OK Jill Quote

Igor Posted January 7, 2021 Report Posted January 7, 2021 Jill, Can you send me one video file which has this problem with VLC 3.0.11? Probably I can help you and send my report to VLC developers. I'll try to find what parameters of audio codec cause this issue. Quote
jkb Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Posted January 7, 2021 Igor, many thanks for your offer of help. Please see email with Link to MP4 Jill Quote
paulb Posted March 18, 2021 Report Posted March 18, 2021 I have just downloaded an mp4 and tried playing with latest VLC. My sound was breaking up . On searching for solution discovered this thread and so uninstalled the latest and installed 3.0.8. I am on a latest updated version of windows 10 The sound is now OK . I did not make any other alterations Quote
