I don't have vlc installed, but a Google search suggested changing the settings in Tools -> Preferences and Input -> Codecs Try enabling "Use GPU acceleration (experimental)" and also increasing the disk buffer size (Disc caching (ms), 5000 or 20000). You will have to save the settings and then restart vlc for them to have an effect.
