[Bug 308385] [NEW] vlc 0.9.4 slower than 0.8.6 - video freezes then resumes pixelated for a few seconds

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

I find that the new version on VLC takes more time to start up a video.
On many videos I get a black screen for a few seconds before I get
video. Then, while playing the video, I get momentary freezes where the
video will freeze on one frame while the audio keeps on playing, then it
will slowly catch up (showing a lot of pixelation between the frozen
frame and the resuming video) and then continue playing video normally.
This freeze/pixelation does not happen with the same video if I install
VLC 0.8.6 or if I run it in mplayer. The video I am playing is encoded
with xvid codec. I have uploaded a sample of what this freeze/resume-
pixelated looks like.
