Fortunately, there’s a tutorial that walks you through how to stop VLC from stuttering, jumping or even freezing when playing high definition 1080p, 720p DAV files on Windows and Mac. Since DAV can’t be supported well by VLC media player, an ultimate solution is to convert DAV to VLC most friendly format. However, VLC MKV playback issues have troubled the users from time to time. Fortunately, there's a tutorial that walks you through how to stop VLC from stuttering, jumping or even freezing when playing high definition 1080p, 720p MKV files on Windows and Mac. Q1: VLC sound issues with large MKV files. After upgrading VLC Player to latest version 3.0.10 (on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4) a not previously encountered problem keeps occurring, as such: While playing a 'mkv' video (usually x265 or x264 encoded), and when I 'pause' for about 2 minutes or longer, video starts playing back without audio. Requesting VLC to skip two (or more) time intervals ahead or back results in the picture freezing/hanging/pausing for approximately ten seconds before playback resumes at the requested point in time. The VLC media player is an open-source multimedia platform which is available in Operating system as well as in mobile such as iOS, Windows 10, Android, Linux and more. It was developed by the VideoLAN project in February (2001).

Why is a DVD Skipping and Freezing?
1. Laser degradation
As time goes by, the disc will age gradually and become unreadable. The oxidation of the reflective layer, small defect developed in the structure, ultra-violet light damage and de-bonding of the adhesive used to adhere the layers of the disc together, etc. may all affect the beam power. Sometimes, the small artifacts are not enough to make the whole track unplayable but will cause slight output signal drops. Then the old DVD keeps skipping and freezing. It's getting worse over time. That's why it's important to backup your DVD.
2. Scratched/damaged DVD
For a family with kids, scratches are quite common on a DVD. The damages or scratches on the disc make the laser get off track so that the DVD player needs to focus, track a path of pits, acquire the data and then continue playing from the closest point. The whole process will lead to DVD skipping and freezing. If the DVD is more seriously scratches, the player will open the loop, kick the laser to a new spot, re-acquire focus and tracking, and play forward from there and users will suffer skips for a longer time.

3. Dirty DVD or disc drive
Dust and smoke exist everywhere. Dust, fingertips, hair, or any other dirt on the disc will prevent the laser from reading the disc correctly. Then it will skip or have other minor glitches in specific parts of the disc. Also, dust on the DVD player's laser lens will affect the laser beams of the player to capture the data on the disc. To make a DVD stop skipping/freezing, you simply need to clean the disc or drive.
4. Copy protections
As in many users' posts, a brand new DVD freezes up with no scratches. If your DVD and disc drive are both in perfect condition, but the playback still skips, then major reason will be the copy protections. For example, region codes allow DVD players to be compatible with discs from a certain region (how to play DVDs in different regions); Sony ARccOS simulates corrupted sectors on a disc and that will cause errors for some programs; Disney X-project has 99 fake titles...
