I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble with this. Yes, I have got the latest version of VLC. It still plays up even when I have as little as possible running on the computer, and while it plays the action bits and the fast bits okay there are some bits that should play okay but just don't.
0.20 -- Vampire Hunter D section of opening
1.02 -- The fade there
2.44 -- As soon as the guy starts swinging into the screen, the screen freezes until Alucard starts drawing his guns. What the heck were you doing there that's breaking my processor's back?
~3.19-3.21 -- Freezes up at several different points
All Vampire Hunter D footage, which I find kind of weird. Anyone else find this? And it's not that my processor is crap -- the only two videos I've ever downloaded that give it hiccups are Bote's Trippy 3D Trip and Sir Lagsalot's Cloud Connected Berserk vid, and even they're fine on the second attempt.
So I guess it's review time then... Well, it's beautifully put together and the scenes match the flow of the music perfectly, but is there something about this vid that I'm just not getting? It's grown on me now because it's so damned stylish, but the first time through all I was thinking was 'you know what she/ he/ that reminds me of...?' It didn't really grab me.
