    vlc starts for me in 1 second. To find out whats going on run it from the terminal. the command is just vlc.

    I can't test it right now but I guess it starts fast if I start it without any movie. How do I run from the command line with some movie? vlc /pathtomovies/movie.avi ? Probably I will find out how to do this, so you don't need to answer.

    Ok, I tested it. VLC tries to connect to images.google.com. I don't have internet connection for my ubuntu box cuz I'm staying in a hotel this week. I don't think VLC should behave like this, it should start the video and then download whatever it wants to download.

    yeah changing isnt the right solution... ws driving me nuts the whole day... noticed if u disable the media player startup speed returns bak to normal, tools>preferences>advanced>playlist> uncheck mediaplayer

    now someone else may elaborate on how to make it usable with the mediaplayer

    tried smplayer but hv to play files at increased speeds and vlc da one which keeps the pitch intact
