Every once in a while VLC Player tends to just gray out during playback. The screen turns to a gray, pixellated image for a few seconds, and when the scene switches, it returns to normal.

Occasionally, VLC will also just pause during playback as well.

I'm not sure how to fix the problem or what's causing it. I've had this problem on both my old laptop and my current computer, so I'm pretty certain it's not a hardware problem.

Anyone care to shed some light on the situation?
