its worth a shot its only a 10mb download and its awesome anyway. plays dvds in vista better than windows media player. it also plays itunes videos (apparently) so that could solve your problem

VLC won't be able to play movies downloaded from iTunes because of the DRM. Try closing other programs and shit to make sure its just not your computer sucking ass.

You can't play iTunes videos in VLC. Quicktime should play them. You might need pro. I don't know.

find an mp4 codec, whether you need to buy one, or 'acquire' it. also, vista is a piece of garbage, but i'd assume you've already found that out. my comp running windows xp is bad enough. your video probably doesnt work just because vista uses such a rediculous amount of system resources just to run.

google your problem. looks for the program you need and download it from one of these sites:

www.crazy-coderz.net
www.newzfind.com
www.leecherslair.info

Dear everybody,

iTunes videos have DRM on them to prevent them from being copied and played on other computers. This means that you can only play them using iTunes or Quicktime. Odds are good your computer is just being slow. Try quitting some processes. (Ctrl alt delete). Please stop telling him to download a codec. This would never solve the problem of a laggy video. If you can hear sound and see the video then the codec isn't the problem.

Sincerely,

Someone who is sick of everyone telling him the same wrong things.
