Unable to play AVI(mjpg) file with slow frame rate (2 fps or less)
VLC player is not able to play the MJPG/AVI file if the frame rate is 2 FPS or less. Only first frame is displayed in this case. I'm using VLC on windows (XP,Vista) version 1.0.5 and 0.9.9. Both behave same way.
If I use video file with 4 FPS (or 8) it is played without problem.
The samples of MJPG/AVI files are at http://www.jiffaco.cz/temp/mjpg4vlc/ There are 4 with diferent FPS. Two fast can be played, two slow can not.
These files were produced by security camera. It is normal to record only 2 or 1 fps or even less like 4 SPF(seconds per frame).
I think the problem is same with other formats (not only MJPG) with low FPS, but I had not time to test it.
