I'm experiencing a little annoying problem when playing 720p and 1080p content on my MBP using VLC 0.8.6.i. It's otherwise just fine, but every now and then the video abruptly stops for a split second. Not long, just enough to notice a little hop on the audio and video.

I'm pretty certain this isn't due to lack of any kind of power on a new MBP even though I'm running usually Terminal and iTunes, maybe even Safari on the background. However, I am accessing the file from an external drive through FW800. Could that be an issue? I mean if it reads a bit of the file to a buffer of some kind and then fails to get the next piece early enough or something?

Help appreciated!
