Hi. I'm using VLC v.0.9.9a for OSX and have a hopefully simple question. Every time I play a file (say filename.avi, for example), it displays "filename.avi" on the screen for a few seconds as the video begins. I would like to disable this without displaying all on-screen displays as I frequently watch subtitled media in VLC. I checked in Preferences and didn't find anything useful. Can anyone direct me to a solution? Thanks.

Re: How to turn off filename display...?
I'm using VLC under Windows XP, not running it from a command line. Is there a method of configuring VLC with the "--no-video-title" option so it will do this automatically when I click on a suitable video file? Cheers.
EDIT: found it, under Tools/Preferences/Subtitles & OSD. There's a checkbox labelled "show media title on video start". Unchecking it means the filename no longer appears on screen at the beginning of every movie.
