Thanks for that. Proved myself unobserving and dull twice in a row haven't I? Thank god for the internet...

I was listening to a substack audio and it was not loud enough so I got VLC to play it. That is playing a stream I guess, right? Well how do I get VLC to save it to my hard drive. It is this one: https://marksleboda.substack.com/p/zelenskiy-suggests-putin-is-dead?utm_source=podcast-email%2Csubstack&...

thanks for that but you don't understand - that's what I doi to 'reset the colour balance', that's where the slider is.

I always have to reset the colour balance when VLC starts up. It is always too red. I move the slider left and it comes good. But next time I open it I have to do it again.
There's no way to lock in that change?

I use VLC for changing mkv to 25 fps mp4 it does a mighty job. I'm told it uses ffmpeg. I thought i might somehow find the commands it uses to do this because myself and the ffmpeg helpers I found couldn't come up with a way to do it. So I got the command list by using VLC -H. Excellent. But what ar...

Hello Jimmy... you want a definite technical answer? I don't have one. Sorry. I'm not a techie/programmer/guru. :( You just want to get back to work (pleasure?). Well I'd suggest going back through the VLC versions until you find one that works well. I've never seen much difference in what they do. ...

I looked at mine, Sam, but didn't see anything of any help.

Mine seems to be fixed, too. But I didn't fix it. It fixed itself. I'd guess it was a MS update that did it. Certainly seems to be fixed. Runs any video I give it. I resize, I move it around the screen, I pause, restart, change video brightness etc., all the things that (perhaps) used to cause the l...

I don't think hardware because VLC ran without problems for years on this board. I've always had troubles with win10 on this board, this machine, and I've done three complete new installs on new hard drives because of that over the last two years. But through them all, right up to now, VLC has run o...

Sorry I didn't see your reply. No I don't think so. I've got an Asus board, an H170 with an Intel i3 at 3.7G.

Looks like just you and me.. ?

I just put up a completely new win10 install on a new disk. VLC would keep crashing without error messages - just closed down, disappeared. I googled and reset preferences. Didn't help. I googled and uninstalled and then installed the latest version. It ran file longer than it had previously and the...

Yep, very rude and crude criticizing VLC. I agree. I've always found it to be a totally exceptional piece of work and I feel incredibly privileged to be in a world where such software can be got for free...... you know? in a world that's otherwise full of nasty, greedy, brutal, every kind of bad thi...

Sorry about the delay. It's all okay now, it seems. I went to find the logs and couldn't. Googled and went back to open a log file ('messages type 2') and somewhere, somehow, I got a prompt about upgrading VLC and I accepted. When it installed there was no problem. Well, just one - after playing two...

After years of problem free use I started to get audio stutter with VLC. I think it began after downloading and installing a newer version, but I'm not sure. What I do know is that going back to any previous version doesn't seem to help. And I do know that it does not happen with any other audio pla...

The audio began to stutter on my VLC instal so I downloaded the latest version and it still happened. I uninstalled and reinstalled - it still happened. I uninstalled and went back to 1.1.9 and it still happens. I can't think of anything I've installed on the computer recently that I haven't taken b...

I have the same problem. It just started to occur tonight, never before. And I was running VLC 1. Upgraded to VLC 2 tonight thinking that might fix it but no, the problem is still there. VLC specific, it seems. WinMediaPlayer plays files okay. MediaplayerClassic plays files okay. mp3 and flv. But no...

Driver? Excuse my ignorance but wouldn't any driver be shared by all audio players? And the others are doing fine. I just read this but I think it applies to dual core CPU's and anyway my VLC has been running fine on my machine for months, years in fact, until now. http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticke...

VLC has suddenly started playing my mp3's with great difficulty - 'stuttering'. Windows Media and Media Player Classic still play them okay. I updated to VLC 2 tonight to try fix it but found it happens with it, too. Also found, after that hangup with VLC one, that my CPU was maxed out on rundll32.e...

i'm trying. Downloaded untold stuff , unwrapped, installed, updated, god knows what.... now whatever it is has been working for 8 hours and still 'preprocessing'... that's on the 10gig file. Anywhere handy and clear that I can read up on what's going one when we convert from .asf to mp4? Told it is ...

This follows on from an earlier thread about possibly (probably?) bad .asf files created by my webcam monitoring software. The smaller files are okay but the larger files covering some hours of webcam monitoring are seen by nearly all software as being of much smaller time length than they really ar...

I have a problem with large .ASF files which I posted about in another thread and got a workaround from scgroup which I used effectively a couple of times. It is now working on a 10gig file which represents 6 hours of webcam monitoring. VLC has been working on it all night - more than 12 hours now -...

Is there some help with reading the VLC log file? Not at a high programmer level but at a user level eliciting information that will help the ordinary user understand a problem, fixable or not, with files being sent to VLC. I have .asf files produced by webcam software. Sometimes they work alright i...

Aaah, sooo........ Thanks for taking the trouble to spell it out for me. I completely missed the point. Sounds like a good one, alright, I will jump right into it soon as I get a chance.... Thank you again... :) p.s. a few hours later.... YES! I checked it out. Processed a 4G file which VLC and vari...

Well thanks, I'll try that - if I can... I've been saying part of my whole prob here is that I can't get anything to accept the whole file to convert it... and I couldn't even get asfbin or asftools or whatever to accept it to fix it: one of them refused point blank - header missing critical info - ...

Well I'm no expert but I think so. According to the spec the FileSize field is 64 bit. I got the Windows Media ASF View and tried to use it. It immediately gave me two error messages: The Source File: 09_32_14.asf 9,967,251 KB The error messages: First: object data size (170105543662467326155) is gr...
