Playback is HORRIBLE from within VirtualBox despite NOT dropping frames! Thank you, hope is coming back... Problem: because your VirtualBox is heavy for your Windows, then your Windows is at the end of its powers, and the video is chopped...Windows, when weakened, does video chopping....

I run 3D CAD programs from within VirtualBox without any choppiness or lag. I find it very hard to believe that YouTube videos need more processing power than 3D CAD programs.

Is't BAD ??? Thanks. So YouTube videos play OK for you? But you have sound crackles and video lag problems if the browser works long time without refreshing? Some rare programs can't start without Visual C++, so if you don't use such programs you don't need Visual C++ . @NotHereToPlayGames Your VirtualBox test has helped to narrow down the possible culprit, thanks.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 NONE of the extensions tried so far actually work to make YouTube play inside VirtualBox without the HORRIBLE choppiness. I do find it hillarious that the test video is the exact video used in the screencap of this extension -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/play-with-mpv/hahklcmnfgffdlchjigehabfbiigleji?hl=en 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we3fan Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Yes nice coincidence. When it comes to VirtualBox, does it use your real Video and Sound Card? Or it just emulates them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see, the number of dropped frames only depends on the recording quality of the video... I have found some videos with (almost!) no dropped frames, starting with 0 dropped frames from 2000/5000... see for yourself these 3 videos: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably most Chromium browsers are linked against static Visual C++ runtime, so it doesn't matter whether Visual C++ Redist is installed or not, the runtime code is in the compiled binaries. No .NET components either. On 1/30/2023 at 1:54 PM, NotHereToPlayGames said: I assume that it just emulates them. But that is an assumption. Don't quote me on this either, but I think you can only emulate such hardware. "Using it for real" would mean host OS would have to give it up. Possible AFAIK, but then VirtualBox would work differently and would be overall different experience. 9 hours ago, msfntor said: As far as I can see, the number of dropped frames only depends on the recording quality of the video...

Sure, all these three videos are on Quality Auto (480p) already one common resolution. With other videos, I normally get 30/50 dropped frames from 2000/5000. See for yourself...

mina7601 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 For me, 158 frames were dropped of 5350 on 360Chrome v13.5.1030 on my VirtualBox XP SP3 x86 at 1080p on @we3fan's cited video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
