Problem video

[elegendx]

Hello my friends

I have bought Raspberry Pi 3 model B and I installed Rasbian. When I play video from vlc with SD card or usb stick, it doesn't change frame by frame and I show the same the image. How to fix that?
Also, I'm connected over: Logitech Keyboard and mouse with bluetooth, a adapter HDMI to VGA with Display monitor (SyncMaster 920N Samsung), Micro SD Card (SANDISK SDSQXVF-032G-GN6MA 32GB EXTREME MICRO SDXC UHS-I U3 CLASS 10 WITH ADAPTER) and PSU: Raspberry Pi 5V, 2,5A.
Can I have help us please?

VLC from the repository doesn't use HW acceleration. Low resolution video might work if you use SDL output, but HD video doesn't work.

Possible solutions:
Use omxplayer, a command line program (already installed).

If you want a GUI for it, you can use omxplayerGUI from my kweb suite.

I've written a tutorial about compiling VLC with HW acceleration: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=59814

Ok. I installed VLC with HW. But my VLC i don't have application menu at Graphics or Sound & Video, so that I open from here.
How can I have interface and what is HW?
Also, I have the program Processing (processing.org) and I have same problem. For example, when I run a project from example video, I don't show me image video. How to fix that?

HW = hardware (GPU) acceleration for video. This is required for high resolution video and not supported by many programs (I assume processing doesn't support it).
If VLC does not appear in the application menu, try starting it from the command line. Open a terminal, enter "vlc" and hit the Return key.

I start vlc in terminal. But how to install interface vlc and I go application menu so that I open here?

Check if the file /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop exists (it should be there).

If it is there, you could try running:
sudo update-menus
