Re: MacOs 12.4 avcapture options

AVCapture only uses the native resolution which is provided by the camera. There is no setting to change that yet.

Re: Issue opening VLC on a new M1 Mac

Hi, for some browsers, the website detects automatically that you run on M1 mac and offers the right download from the start. Unfortunately this mechanism does not work in Apple Safari (they do not provide this information in purpose), so for this brower we can only offer the Intel variant by default.

Re: Crashing on Shut Down

If you want to help to get it fixed, please try a nightly build from https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-macos-x86_64/ and provide to us the content from the macOS crash window once it appears. This is likely not a simple bug to fix, so some help is needed, if you want to have it fixed. :-)

Re: 3.0.12 source build fails on OSX Mojave

Homebrews standard path /usr/local/lib is sometimes recognized by some build systems, causing problems. In principles, you can also compile with homebrew libraries (but you might not be able to redistribute the results on other machines). Its just that this might not be supported properly by the bui...

Re: Mac app vs iOS app

If you run on an M1 mac, then you should upgrade to 3.0.12.1, yes. This version is functionally the same as 3.0.12, but runs as native arm code and is therefore much faster on your mac.

Re: Error running VLC from the terminal on OSX

You need to execute vlc from the build folder as follows:

Then it works.

Re: AVCapture specify microphone in MRL

If you use the open panel and select your mic in the input devices tab, you can see the coresponding MRL in the text field below.
But you will not see it there anymore if you select both video and audio (this it due to VLC technical internals, it is still used).

Re: VLC media player Universal 2 app

No there are no such plans to build an official Universal app, sorry.

This is due to multiple issues, like huge size of a universal app, as well as performance penalties.

Changes are only saved if the file is in the media library. Also, metadata will not be saved into MKV file itself (this only works for some Audio formats).

We usually recommend Handbrake, which is a better tool to convert DVDs, than VLC. It is built using the same technologies, but it has a more easy interface to use, and is dedicately purposed for this task.
