VLC 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 hang when opening HD files
Today I upgraded from 2.0.4 to 2.1.1 and all HD movies which played fine previously cause VLC to hang immediately.
The videos have the following properties
- HD (i.e. 1920x800 to 1920x1080)
- MKV container (created with recent MKVMerge)
- AVC video
- DTS sound (did not test AC-3 yet)
I have a Radeon 7800 with current drivers.
I attached two screenshots of the "messages" window. The first one is shown immediately after opening the movie. Then the GUI hangs (window is not responding). After a while (maybe 15 secs) the window is updated which you can see in the second screenshot. Then after 1-2 minutes, VLC crashes. When starting VLC again, it offers me to send a crash report, which I just did.
I also attached some screenshots of process explorer which might provide some additional information.
