VLC 2.0.1 bugs and omissions

[Aeneas]

Time elapsed display for Mpeg-2 and .M2TS, and undistorted random access playback of .M2TS are finally working.

However, a problem with this version is that when playing back a file which is still increasing in size,
(which previous versions allow, to perform instant replay type features while viewing something live)
the time elapsed value at which VLC is started, now has become a permanent limit on the mouse
progress bar random access within the file.
Thus when more time passes and the user wants to replay another later event in the live viewing,
he now must terminate this VLC instance and start another one on the same file.
The previous version either maintained perpetual knowledge of the size of the increasing file,
or would check the current size whenever the mouse clicked on the VLC progress bar or Play/Pause button.
This functionality needs to be reimplemented.

The Bookmark feature, now that I have discovered where it was repositioned in the pulldown menu,
seems to have been fixed.

The timing logic of the mouse handling in the Video pulldown menu makes it difficult to quickly access
the Closed Captions (Subtitles) sub menu. A simple button in the default shell or in the Advanced Controls buttons
would allow users to quickly turn off the CC in order to view a detail or read a caption in the program video
which the CC is obscuring, then turn CC back on again.
VLC would have to remember the Subtitles Track selection selected previously by the user.

The Playback Speed Faster Slower buttons should be reinstated, not where they were,
which forced the user to navigate the mouse to the extreme left and right sides of the screen, but
into the Advanced Controls button menu.
Using the Customize Interface...Toolbars Menu, these buttons can be placed in the Advanced Controls panel,
but pressing these buttons so positioned does not display the current speed in
the on screen display, in the same way that Playback/Speed menu pulldown does.

Playback of 1080P file .M2TS recorded at 9 Mbps, on Q6600 2.4GHz consumes around 35-42% of CPU.

===========================================
2) There should be a Record parameter to set the number of minutes and seconds which this Record capability should run when the Play is invoked .
7) There should be a Preferences option to clamp the x,y resolution of the initial video picture some a user selected maximum. Currently, for people who consistently generate 1080P output files, even on a 1920x1200 screen, the command icons to control VLC are inaccessible until a clumsy to perform manual re-size of the VLC window is performed by the user.
10) It should be possible to display Closed Captions in a separate external window, which scrolls, and which supports copy/paste Windows screen text editing.
11) Another CC possibility would be to simply save all Closed Captions encountered to a separate file.
