In case anyone is still struggling with this I wanted to help with a (sad) workaround. I also had trouble transcoding a video with effects using VLC. In my case the filters were applied to the transcoded video but the output could only be viewed cleanly in VLC -- when viewed in other media players t...

Solved my SSD/HD question by changing the "tmp" symlink in the root directory to point to a directory on my HD instead of my SSD. Of course this has the potentially undesirable side effect of creating all tmp files used by the system on the slower media.

Upon closer inspection, the read write file descriptor and the read only file descriptor both point to the same file so my math is off by a factor of 2. Meaning we have ~56 GB of space available in the buffer.

I continued my investigation today. By redirecting successive calls to "lsof -p <VLC-pid>" to output files after pausing my capture device and then diffing the contents of those output files I found that VLC is creating files of size 52230720 under /private/tmp/ named vlc-timeshift.[XXXXXX...

I noticed that it's possible to pause the input stream from a capture device and resume it later, after it has advanced, apparently without dropping any frames. I was curious where the stream is buffered and how big the buffer is so I opened up the activity monitor (I'm running on a Mac) and observe...

How difficult/possible would it be to distribute libVLC and all of its plugins as a single dll such that it does not need to load any additional dynamically link libraries to be launched?

1) As we do not want ask the end user to install VLC before being able to play video , we’d like to provide the DLLs within our application (Jar Embedded). The first problem concerns an error message indicated by VLC about the parameter “plug in path” which seems required. We’d like to avoid extrac...
