Editing MP4 Files with VLC on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of poor video playback quality when editing MP4 files with VLC on your Mac? One common issue that users face is the buffering delay, which can be frustrating and disrupt your workflow. Fortunately, changing the streaming buffer in VLC Player is a relatively simple process that can help improve video playback quality.

There are two methods to change the streaming buffer in VLC Player, one of which is permanent while the other is temporary. The temporary method resets after each stream, whereas the permanent method saves the changes beyond the current media being streamed.

Method 1: Temporary Fix

To apply a temporary fix, follow these steps:

* Open VLC and go to Tools > Preferences or press the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + P).

* At the bottom-left of the Settings window, click the All bullet to display additional settings.

* Scroll down to the Stream Output section and increase the caching value. For example, if you want the buffer to be improved to 1.5 seconds, change the number to 1500 ms.

* Click 'Show more options' at the bottom of the window to access the Network tab.

* The default caching setting is 1500 milliseconds, which is equal to 1.5 seconds.

Method 2: Permanent Fix

To apply a permanent fix, follow these steps:

* Launch VLC and open Tools > Preferences or press the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + P).

* At the bottom-left of the Settings window, click the All bullet to display additional settings.

* Scroll down to the Media tab and select Open Network Stream.

* Now, scroll down to the Stream Output section and change the caching value to a larger number.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

* The permanent fix will save beyond the current media being streamed, whereas the temporary fix resets after each stream.

* You can choose to apply either method or both (in which case the temporary fix temporarily takes precedence).
