On a fresh install of Xubuntu 8.10, VLC's video output (DVD, avi) freezes as well, while the audio continues uninterrupted. Sometimes it catches on again (instantly), but usually there's no recovery but to restart VLC. I am not using Compiz, and have the free nVidia drivers installed. Other players (MPlayer, Totem) do not show this behavior. VLC version 0.9.4-1ubuntu3.
