Re: Washed out, cloudy video playback?

You haven't told us anything about your souce video material (i.e. encoding, bitrate, file size, etc.). Tell us about your source, and we will help with the most appropriate settings in VLC. Is this some crap video file you downloaded from an unreliable source, or is it a DVD you ripped/encoded to a...

Re: deinterlacing/hardware acceleration/DVD playback

OK, we are starting to get somewhere now. So, when playing a DVD movie using VLC player, I should do the following: (1) for deinterlace mode in my ATI 3870 video card select the deinterlacing mode that lets the player (VLC in our instant case) select the deinterlacing scheme (i.e. auto-detect) since...

Re: deinterlacing/hardware acceleration/DVD playback

I agree with you that deinterlace should be enabled by default, but mine was disabled as I said earlier. I will now enable deinterlacing. I thought that overlay was a mode of deinterlacing. What I want to avoid is having VLC do the delinterlacing if my video card is also doing it, as that could prod...

Re: deinterlacing/hardware acceleration/DVD playback

Thanks. That explains why I don't notice any difference in PQ when I make deinterlace mode changes in my ATI Radeon 3870 graphics card.; but, it doesn't explain why the default setting in the VLC player is deinterlace "disabled" rather than overlay or some other deinterlace option. What ar...

deinterlacing/hardware acceleration/DVD playback

Does the VLC player support hardware acceleration (DirectX graphics card) in DVD movie playback? I don't see an option for it anywhere in the settings. If so, is it best to disable the deinterlace setting in the VLC Player?

Re: Opening files that are *currently* being downloaded..

However, it is a way to view for quality (preview) a downloading torrent file; so that you have the option of discontinuing the download if not satisfied with the picture quality.

Re: Unplayable DTS/Dolby Output via A/52 over S/PDIF

It sounds like you're sending an analog sterio signal to your receiver. Try sending the audio stream out to your receiver via S/PDIF (coax or optical cable) to the external DD/dts decoders in your receiver. Make sure to set your sound card to pass the audio signal out to an external decoder. Is your...

Re: optimal settings for vlc with a 20" widescreen?

I use a 20"ws, and find that as long as your video card and monitor/dispaly are set to 16:10 you're good to go. No need for any settings in VLC relative to screen resolution.

Many thanks for your help in eliminating the VLC audio settings as my problem.

I use WMP11 for subscription/MP3 music transfer-- love the integration with Urge, so hope that is not the problem--- but will now experiment along those lines.

As I said, it is an error on my part-- must be in my VLC audio settings; don't you think? How could it be anything else. I play a lot of video/movies, and have never had an audio issue before.

Checked and saved the "use float 32" setting as suggested, but still no sound. All my other audio settings are the default settings. I downloaded some WMA/V9 clips from the Microsoft/wm/hdvideo site> same problem-- smooth video playback, but no sound using VLC. Then I played the same clips...

Is the problem that the audio is encoded in 5 channel, and my speaker system is 2 channel? If so, is there a setting to switch/convert the input audio to 2 channel.

Many thanks for your help.

WMV9 hd playback-- awesome PQ, but no sound!

The codec in this video file (720p res) is WMV9 professional. The audio codec is WMA9 professional: 384 kbps, 48 KHz, 5.1 channel 24 bit, 2-pass VBR.

Why am I not getting sound?

Thanks for any ideas.
