[QUOTE="yabadabadingdon, post: 1649079, member: 347057"] Thanks for the reminder 1) I just tried a safe mode booting and the vlc-safe-mode. Opening an mp4 file with VLC, I don't see any visible video image window but there is a progress counter is if it was playing in the background. 2) I only have a USB2 HDD I dont have anything Thunderbolt or Firewire. Before I start this, are you suggesting I proceed to install Yosemite to this as an external USB HDD and boot from it to try the video? Thanks again for the help in diagnosis! *Update: re-installed with USB2 ext HDD and it fine playing the video in Quicktime and also iTunes! Will try an internal HDD change to see if the stutter comes back. [/QUOTE]
