Thanks a bunch! That was it. You and VLC are my heroes!

Hi, I got a USB foot switch which I like to use to control VLC's start/stop and other functions. This works fine as long as the focus is on VLC, but I like to use a word processor on the side to record things about the movie I watch. How can I get the commands from the foot switch to go to VLC inste...

Thanks Erwan,

good to know. The difference was the reason ...

Kind regards,

This is supposed not to happen in VLC 1.0 anymore.

Good to know.
Since I am using version 1.0.3 what can I do?

Thanks, no-show works. Didn't find that option in the Wiki, Sorry.

I still don't know how to tell VLC to continue with the next video. Any idea?

I have created a windows Batch file with this content: C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe file1.mov file2.mp4 --fullscreen --quiet --play-and-stop Despite the --quiet option the filenames are displayed at the beginning of the video. The --play-and-stop option doesn't seem to work either. VLC stops an...

I like to show a couple of short videos in a sequence. This works fine with the playlist, exept that VLC minimizes itself at the end of one video and maximizes itself again at the begining of the next. That makes for a disturbing flickering between videos which I like to prevent. Is there a way that...

Congratulation for the new VLC! It is a joy to work with this program. May I suggest one little improvement, which would have saved me an hour of searching: I had created a playlist and wanted to save it. Naturally I looked for the option in the View; Playlist window. Neither in Google search nor in...

Well, I have seen that assertion again. This is the situation: I have created an image with Pinnacle Studion 10. This can be played with Windows Media Player, Nero Show Time or Pinnacle Media Manager with no problem. When I use VLC 0.8.6c I get said assertion error. Can I help further to pinpoint th...

Thanks,

I haven't seen that problem in a while ...

Kind regards,

Frank

To update my findings:

It made a huge difference when I stopped burning my DVDs with Pinnacle!

I also found out that Zoom Player is very slim.

Hope this helps somebody ...

Kind regards,

Frank

Thanks, good advice.

It's a bit strange that they built a DVD drive in a laptop that isn't up to par.

At least I know what to expect.

Thanks guys.

Hello, I am using VLC 0.8.5 on a laptop with WinMe, 256 MB RAM and a Pentium III 447 MHz CPU. I often experience gaps in video play, where VLC seems to experience buffer underruns. Is there a way to increase cache or other measures to aid with this problem? HD read ahead is set to 100%, CD-ROM cache...

right on. Thank you!

How could I overlook this requirement?

Greetings to Hawaii!

Hello, I have upgraded to VLC 0.8.5 and now instead of the sound of the video I hear something that sounds like a machine gun. I went back to 0.8.4a, with no change. This is under WinMe on a laptop with 256 MB RAM and a Mobile Pentium III with 447 MHz. I had to install the unicows.dll, but removing ...

Hello, When I tried to play a DVD with VLC and got the error: Assertion failed! Program: C: ... vlc.exe File: vm.c Line: 1742 Expression: pgcit != NULL I got this with 0.8.5, uninstalled it and tried 0.8.4a which gave me the same error. I didn't get this error before I upgraded to 0.8.5. Where do I ...

Great, that works for me too.

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you DJ for your reply, Try Tweak UI under My Computer > AutoPlay > Handlers There is no such option under Tweak UI 98. The AutoPlay feature was turned on before I remove the other program and is turned on now. I even turned it off and on again, with no change. How would I have to edit the regi...

Hello, I had a different program autostart and play a DVD. After removing that program Windows 98 does't autostart a DVD anymore. I have installed TWEAKUI, but that didn't change anything. I also reinstalled VLC (0.8.4a) with file associations enabled but that did remedy the problem either. I have s...
