When playing a video on a personal computer, a situation often arises when the video sequence starts to move in jerks, while lagging behind the audio sequence by a few seconds. In this situation, video viewing becomes impossible.
The first and main reason for stuck video is outdated video codecs on the computer. Codecs are special libraries that, associating themselves with the video player available on a personal computer, are responsible for the correct and uninterrupted playback of the video sequence. In the event that the video requirements do not match the codec available on the computer, there is either a "braking" effect, or the video cannot be played at all. In such a situation, the best way to solve the problem is to reinstall the video codecs. The most popular is the K-Lite Codec Pack, which includes almost all existing codecs.
The second most common cause of video stuttering is an outdated video card driver. A driver is a system program that is responsible for ensuring that the motherboard correctly recognizes the peripherals installed on it. It happens that due to viruses on the computer or incorrect replacement of existing drivers, a number of functions are lost by the video card. If the video card driver is the cause of video playback lags, then you should reinstall it.
Sometimes the cause of these problems is the violation of the integrity of the system files of the operating system. Advanced users can use the command line to find and restore damaged files or completely reinstall the operating system. Ordinary users are advised to use the services of experienced computer repair technicians.
Old computers often have problems with lagging video associated with outdated "stuffing" inside the system unit. This is especially noticeable when trying to play High Definition - high definition video. A characteristic feature of these brakes is not only intermittent video playback, but also sound. It will be possible to solve this problem only by completely replacing the computer.
