VLC won't work with Popcorn Time

[jipbartman]

Hey guys,
sometimes the audio is too soft on Popcorn Time, so i thought of using it in combination with VLC, which is possible.
I have an old macbook, os x 10.6. I downloaded some versions, some of them appeared in the popcorn time options, which means it was connected, but i used to get errors. for example this one: VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))
i deleted this version since it dindn't work, and i tried another download. i couldn't get it properly into my applications, which is needed to connect with popcorn time. I don't know much about computers as you might have noticed, so i'd really like your help.
thanks in advance

Looks like you should ask the authors of your other software then. Generally, VLC supports h264 video just fine.
