H264 video freeze on start in vlc 2.0.5 - Do i need to install a codec ?

Hi,

I`ve been having issues playing h264 and 720p hd for some time on all vlc versions.

I installed the latest v.2.0.5 and the problem is still there.

Would there be a way to install the h264 codec ?

I have tried to tweek it but i am no expert and no success. :confused:

Can any one get the h264 to work smoothly , no lagging etc....

Thanks Guys for any advice on this.
