Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Seems my VLC is working properly now. Must have needed an rest overnight. When I logged in today, my vids were running as they should be. Thanks to all for your help. Much appreciated.
Felix, I went through Finder's Go menu to "Go To Folder", entered "org.vidolan.vlc" and it tells me there is no such folder. Ugh! My iMac is version 10.6l8, processor 2.66GH2, Intel Core 2 Duo. Sorry to be such a pain. But, appreciate your patience.
Thanks Felix. I did everything you suggested, but still have the same problem. My vids open and run sideways. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate it.
I did a search as you suggested, but all I found was a lot of people seem to be having similar problems with the new (and improved?) VLC and are trying to reset their preferences. It shouldn't be this hard. I wish I had never downloaded the update. Anyone know of a vid player that's a little more us...
Used VLC for years...no problems. Installed the latest update...big problems. Re-installed it. Still problems. My vids not only appear in skinny, vertical format, but also are sideways. In order to view them I have to cock my head sideways. Bring back the old version please, or tell me how to fix it...
