Re: Japanese .wav titles appearing as question marks (not a VLC translation error, I don't think)

Figured this out, the root cause problem was that VLC always reads metadata that's already embedded in a wav file. Unfortunately the user has no way of telling VLC to ignore that embedded metadata or to simply display the file name separately from the title metadata tag. I hate when other people sug...

Re: Japanese .wav titles appearing as question marks (not a VLC translation error, I don't think)

Ok.. this is getting weirder. If I copy and paste the wav. file name to another wave file name, those japanese characters do not appear as question marks... for example I have a pink noise wave file that I use to test speakers on, and I went ahead and copied the first Zelda track name and added it t...

Re: Japanese .wav titles appearing as question marks (not a VLC translation error, I don't think)

It must not be related to these precompiled scripts anyway since the message log is saying that it's skipping all of these scripts for each track.. I wish I could figure this out on my own. Would greatly appreciate any help! :) Cheers

Re: Japanese .wav titles appearing as question marks (not a VLC translation error, I don't think)

And unfortunately I can't parse these scripts, they appear to be precompiled binary files: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fife/ALs6j_FlQC2TjQmNOzMEOuhxfJgu83b716Pisd-zRfe7_d3VRxxFLWQefRdFHY3fWnATRZZYMafY5sq-A_klTb_ozV5UIK6eOitKN8Alw6IoX0OOQCXrIk-wlXgV_vldcdzZZadfbUvss96ZOmqM8WVs9IUWB00-fvvwj_H5T9...

Re: Japanese .wav titles appearing as question marks (not a VLC translation error, I don't think)

One thing I'm noticing right off the bat is that the path "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\meta\art" doesn't exist on my hard drive. C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\vlc\ directory contains the following files, notice how there is no "lua" folder within the "vlc" fol...

Scene video filter introduces distortion to cropped videos in VLC 3.0.6, Windows 7

Hello thanks for checking this out! I tried to encapsulate my images as links to increase readability, but I don't think that's allowed on these forums, or at least the [url] tag wasn't working for me. User Goal: Use VLC's scene filter to create a series of PNGs from a video that was previously crop...

Re: Can't convert to .MOV, forces .MP4 file extension

No it's not buggy. It only accepts .MOV for video files. It's in the official documentation. My issue is with using VLC to convert a video to an .MOV and not an .MP4. The issue is not with my audio workstation, it is performing exactly as expected. When you say rename the file, do you mean just manu...

Re: Can't convert to .MOV, forces .MP4 file extension

I'm trying to convert an .AVI encapsulated H.264 codec movie to an .MOV encapsulated format. Here's what's happening: I go to Media ...
