uninstall old VLC and all of its files including preferences and cache, EVERYTHING. Then do a CLEAN install DO NOT use old preference and cache. See if that resolves your issue. If you kept a previous version installer of VLC that did not have that issue. install, try that and see if you can get sou...

rules say "conversion software" ? "what is that" in the context of what is forbidden? you mean open source codecs?? or are you referring to decrypt-ers that bypass or breaks DRM? Reason I ask is there are conversion software that changes one format to another, which is perfectly ...

what are you using to test if it is DRM free? even formats themselves are a form of DRM. unless all of the formats are all opensource with completely free license use, its still DRM. I have over 1000 commercial movies on DVD and almost all of them have one form of DRM or other. many have 2-3 forms. ...

do you still have 2.2.8? If you do reinstall that one see if it resolves your issues. I have zero luck with anything post versions 2.2.8 when installing different versions I would suggest selecting option to delete cache and preferences. Sometimes they don't transfer well and mess things up . It is ...

my guess is that when you do back or foreward that is for the video file only and does not apply to the subtitle file that's being added either by mistake or by design it simply stops the subtitle file all together, I have that problem with built in subtitles, if I do too many forward or backs (back...

Versions after 2.2.8 have all been really buggy for me, where do we report issues, if we have no bug list or error codes, because none are given and I am not sure if send report is getting sent to developers when VLC crashes and I select OK when asked to send one. I am use to old school where it wou...

spamtomas : the quote from google was removed I had quoted googles streaming method and other info it was removed by moderator, I believe. They definitely changed their coding. to block 3rd party apps

*****when you install one of the player look carefully at the options choose the one that deletes the user preference and cache. I know its a pain, but some times that cache can mess things up, and it can carry over that mess from a previous install and mess things up on follow on installs. *****

I had to back degrade to 2.2.8 as well for different reason than yours. yours is slightly different issues than mine but I believe we both suffer the same issues in general with the newer versions of VLC in general. There has been some fundamental change to vlc after 2.2.8 I have major video and aud...

hey folks Youtube changed its coding you must now pay them for the higher res in their pro plan, It may not be playable in VLC anymore. due to concern of being able to copy via VLC thus circumventing their forced donation pay scheme to use their pro downloader. service.. What I wonder is if VLC woul...

Based on following quote it may be that google is attempting to block third party apps from using server intensive services and premium service fees circumvention. . VLC would be the latter. and possibly the former Google wants you to pay them or partner for a pro service and claim its a donation wh...

Try using another platform like kodi to see if it is causing it to also crash I had to download it to see if it was a vLC issue or if it was a windows issue. or other issue. Is it a specific title that is causing it? Open the dvd file directory and look in the video folder check the vob files make s...

Google went and changed the YOUTUBE coding again. in attempt to force out third party software from seeing the video files, etc. ESPECIALLY the copyrighted ones. A lot of apps are having issues right now like many of the 3rd party downloaders, video viewers, etc. They are trying to force you to pay ...

when I open VLC select play then disk it shows the dvd but when i press play it reads then shuts VLC down. the next time I start VLC. It tells me opps VLC crashed want to send report to developer team. I press OK and the box disappears and a new instance of VLC starts. there is no error code being d...

I am having subtitle problems with the newer versions
which is why I was using the older version in first place

Still happens with most recent version of vlc . I also am adding TV series APB to the list it also list files sizes in excess of .99gigs for vob files. this one 20 century fox I think the file size is reading 1.8 GIG-isish

both play on dedicated stand alone dvd players

VLC 2.2.5.1 version I am using.

the movie "The Tale" by HBOfilms I believe uses a new DRM scheme? When opening the disk to look at files the .vob movie file is 4 gigs+ instead of multiple single .99gigs there is a note on the back of the movie case that specifically says it won't play in any computer or other device that...

Windows 7 ultimate most current VLC from site downloaded couple days ago. Sound through HDMI to LCD TV vizio 37in, ATI HD 68**? or 69**? Driver packaging version: 15.20.1062.1004-150803a1-187669C AMD Audio Driver Version 7.12.0.7722 ^^^^Correct driver. Most recent Audio driver is flawed and breaks s...

I am also having this problem as well. :evil: Mine started after putting in a either a SONY or "syfi, universal" TV series, :evil: now all commercial dvd start slow. I noted the vlc processes refusing to shut down so I would have 2-4 vlc processes going on at once, even though I "X&qu...

I been having a problem with A-B loop functioning properly. I solved and wanted to share how I fixed mine. I had a cleanly installed win 7 downloaded VLC and the a-b loop would not work properly it just repeated the first frame in most cases especially the commercial dvds I personally found an outsi...

I am almost deaf so subtitles is my savior. this may seem to be roundabout, but it works for me without changing any settings. When trying to activate subtitles from the "DVD menu" (on the DVD) and you get the fat ugly gray unreadable subtitles the following steps I take are consistent in ...
