I'm trying to watch Gunbuster but VLC keeps locking up during the scenes with lots of movement. What media player does /tv/ recommend? I don't usually have a problem with files but these mkv anime episodes are causing a lot of stuttering.

I can't even begin to imagine what would be causing this. Are you also generating AI porn and running 3 instances of Crysis at the same time?

These anime releases have autistic shit that doesn't work properly on normal media players oftentimes. Google k-lite and download it.

If I use ffmpeg to convert it to an mp4 with the exact same filesize, I don't get stuttering issues. It seems like it's just mkv files acting up.

Why can't someone just make a video player with the UI of VLC and the ability to play files of MPV. Someone just fucking do it. I am sick of VLC screen tearing, pixelating bullshit and I don't want to use a program that has no proper UI because I am not a linuxtranny. It cannot be that hard.

Have you tried updating the program? I had this problem and it turned out my VLC was outdated by about 8 years and the newer version worked better.

There are settings about file caching as well that you could try but VLC settings are pretty esoteric and I don't remember where it is in the menu.

Yup, already have it set to 1000ms. Really does seem like a weirdly specific issue affecting anime in mkv format.

Media player classic works wonders for me. Very customizable. Out of support, but works for me. I used it as a VLC alternative until it became my main. No dvd issues either like VLC

Not even close to being true.

Diebuster is good, but nowhere near the level of the original. And the best moments are all callbacks to the original, anyway.

Either fork of Media Player Classic (HC or BE) is still the best option for that.

No it isn't. One of the OG devs forked it and continues to issue new releases. It's most in maintenance mode (he's not currently adding new features), but it's still alive. He doesn't have control of the project website, so that's out of date, but there's a github:

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc

Alternatively, there's Media Player Classic Black Edition, which is in more active development.

https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/MPC-BE

Both have active discussion/support threads over on the doom9 forums.
