The VideoLAN Forums

I used the forums search to find a mentioning of xtophe and his e-mail, but still I have yet to hear back regarding translations. Is it a lack of time (being a volunteer) or was my mail flagged as spam I wonder

I was referring to Display Aspect Ratios . Crop Aspect Ratios are an entirely different matter. You can't do a straight crop of DVDs. You must first unpack the pixels to 15:11 or 20:11 and then crop to 4:3 or 16:9 in order to remove the almost black padding at the right and left sides. This is the b...

This is NOT to ignite a flame war. This is for clarification. I heard a while back that VLC, like gstreamer, would switch to libav over ffmpeg. While MPlayer and Xine would do the opposite. gstreamer seemed to support both in the lead-up to 1.0 (with two different plugins), but now seem focused on g...

But which one do you think we should add? 15:11 (Digital Video) 20:11 (Digital Video Widescreen) And also, for improperly tagged movie or movie clip files. 1.66:1 (16mm Film) <-------------- the occasional European indie flick 1.85:1 (3/4 perf 35mm Film) <------------- Action movies, non-Cinemas Sc...

The Korean version seems to be out of date. I'm not fully fluent in Korean but I can handle translating computer terms and menu items and simple descriptions without a hitch. I tried sending an e-mail to the official maintainer but have heard no response. Perhaps he no longer has the time or whateve...

Sorry for that. I try to be exhaustive and get everything out in one post and that never works out. I have a hard time converting the mechanics of conversation into message boards. It always feels like some sort of essay submission form. I'd really like to get Linux and FOSS up to snuff and smooth o...

You can already add "custom" DARs in the advanced video preferences, if that's all you need. Oh, wow. Thank you. I had been monkeying with the settings but couldn't find that until I did a double-check. I still feel it would be better to have DVDs default to this. Or at least have the opt...

Saltypete, this is due to I and P and B frames. I frames are fully rendered frames. P frames and B frames are instructions that say "take the the ____ frame and just change this part" Example: A person enters a room with the lights on and moves the dimmer in order to make the room less bri...

As far as I know, VLC uses the aspect ratio specified by the input media (i.e. it does not necessarily assume 1:1 pixel ratio). If you think there is a bug, you are more than welcome to provide a patch. I wonder if there is a communication problem between myself and yourselves. I feel like you and ...

First off, thank you for the prompt responses and attention. I appreciate it. On to the topic.... This matter's a bug by design, not a coding error. I don't know how to code, but I can diagnose a problem. At present, there is no way to force VLC to use the correct Pixel Aspect Ratios nor Display Asp...

This isn't troubleshooting, by the way. This is a bug. In case I haven't made it clear, all the programs for video playing, owing to being made by programmers and not videographers, are all in the wrong. Only the programs by video business companies have gotten it right. Even Adobe had it wrong for ...

Hello. Love the VLC work. Amazing stuff. However, there is one niggling thing. The aspect ratios for Standard Definition are all wrong. A video at 720x480 (DVD or Blu-Ray or DVB) has the same Pixel Aspect Ratio as 704x480 (which is 10:11 or 40:33) Likewise for 720x576 and 704x576. DVD Players, Blu-R...
