Hi Jean! VLC DxVA support and the upcomming BluRay support are great things! VLC is without question the swiss army knife for playing video files on the desktop... But I would be interested to hear if the dev. team sees VLC as a tool for home cinema playback or more as the flexible desktop tool that...

Hi chlowden! Oh that sounds great!! It seems that Digital Cinema Packages becoming more and more a medium for indipendent filmmakers ;-) Hope to see more DCP's on festivals around the world to offer an alternative to 35mm reels... We tried years before to use a customized VLC player version to playo...

Hi! It's not possible?? Hmm - ok the method with extra skins2 output window doesn't use fullscreen mode ok - but if you set a black desktop background and set the skins2 video window to the native video resolution you will get 1:1 pixel by pixel playback - for sure it runs through the scaler engine ...

Hi DJ! Do You have an idea whats about multible video outs on multible monitors if it comes to sync? For playback it would be useful to have one control display with interface and a small video preview and on FullHD video out on secondary display. If I have to switch framerate for the secondary disp...

Hi!

to describe what I'm speaking about this MS paper could help:

It's indipendent from the power of your machine - if you have a slow one no wondering that the playback is unsmooth - but if you have a fast powerful machine with expensise components and low CPU load and the video playback is still unsmooth something went wrong... This has currently different reaso...

thank you DJ!

Hi! I would like to see an improved sync between player application - audio card and video card (I know this is very complicated) Compared with a standard hardware DVD player VLC has very unshmooth and jittered output. Fast paning sceens are really jerky on large screens. The Reclock filter shows th...

Hi DJ! My hardest problem is that I dont have do dev. a commercial project - in this case I'd decided to build all from scatch to meet the high demandings ;-) ZoomPlayer + Reclock showed how it could work. But it's a complicated unstable setup - hard to create a defined environment - too much differ...

Hi DJ! I use PC based playout for small film festivals for years and as along as I had to compete with unstable DVD playback from DVD-R with menu overlay on screen everything was ok. But now things changed a bit. e-cinema stands in the center of interest - nobody can afford to eqip all festival scre...

Hi DJ! Thanks you for your response. I read your posting http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=26942&start=0&sid=c6962096d92718f598f38f6cd55c5e7e here. I think I understand the problem in general but wondering that nobody out there seems to notice it. If I compare VLC 0.8.5 to MS MediaPl...

Hi! I want to solve some problems that result in unshmooth videoplayback and jitter. No hardly stuttering video - only slightly really hardly noticable jitter that appears after seconds of smooth playback. --> No problem if I show the video on a 19" Computer Screen - but if I use a beamer the j...

Global Hotkeys would be SO GREAT and necessary to use VLC in event applications...

oh - first we have to know your exact hardware/software/driver config... some drivers have problems to accelerate video overlays on the secondary screen... Do you know the "video mirror" function of your graphics card, that plays every overlay video started on the first screen in fullscren...

Hi! I have an idea about how to let VLC play without zoom - but it's very special... ;-) Try to use the skins2 interface - define a extra window place a "video out" on it and move the window to the second screen. of cource - you have to set the screen res. explicit inside the skin - so you...

Hi! I have a question about the behavior of the "video mirror" function of the graphics driver that sends a video overlay as fullscreen copy to the secondary monitor. I know this is not VLC specific but here seems the only place to get an anwer to this question... I use VLC 0.8.5 with WinX...

Hi! have a look here at the documentation: http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html#id294365 "Mozilla Plugin" currently we use the plugin for a video terminal installation - works fine so far... (we are still using the old API but hopefully we will upgrade to the new soon to sol...

ups - but without video overlay Your performance may suffer... I would suggest this options: 1. Activate the fullscreen video overlay for the secondary monitor in the Nvidia driver settings and switch VLC to fullscreen on the primary display. 2. Use the video clone function in VLC to generate a addi...

hmm - this seems to be complicated even to me - and normaly I havn't problems to set my aspect right ;-) I've tested some additional settings with this result: setting --> I set up source aspect ratio at startup to 16:9 and monitor pixel aspect to be save to 1:1 in preferences result --> I got an ad...

Hi! I have problems with the VLC aspect ratio settings - as reported before 16/9 seems to be not correct - and why differs default ratio with an 1:1 video on a 1:1 display??? VLC 0.8.5 win input: DIVX 1024x576 1:1 ratio VLC outup: 1024 x 576 px - default - ok 576 x 576 px - 1:1 - ?? 896 x 576 px - 1...

Hi Yoann! Oh - no - never checked it because I don't associate "Bookmarks" with In/Out Point settings - thanks!! looks interesting - but I think about how to use this function... --> I have a playlist and have to set in-points for every movie to start and out points to stopp --> how can I ...

I would really welcome this to adapt VLC to the users needs...

best regards

hmm - it's a difficult situation because as mentioned above the GPU acceleration isn't well documented and only commercial DVD player makers have full support for it... on the other side this results in a weakness of VLC to decode high definition material in H.264 format because of the computing int...

Good question!

there is the seek function but I'm also missing a normal in and out point function like every professinal videotool has it...

addition: As aLtgLasS wrote in: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=21173 the format depends on the way footage is loaded to the playtree. --> "load file" results in path + filename in playlist --> "open DIR" results in only filename in playlist Does anybody knows how to ge...
