Canon EOS 5D Mark II .MOV files and VLC Media Player

If you use VLC Media Player to view HD videos recorded with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the playback is jerky, then this may fix your problem (works for me and many others judging by feedback in various forums):

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC playback is too slow


You can speed up the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC playback by disabling loop filter for H.264 decoding. To do this go to Tools -> Preferences... (set Show Settings to All) and Input / Codecs -> Other codecs -> FFmpeg and in the drop-down box for Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding change it to All. Remember to press Save to save VLC settings and restart VLC after that to make sure changes are enabled.
