Correct --- IF you are directing it to your local file system.

OK, Start with the basics and work up. What OS (operating system) are you using ? VLC treats all video sources as streams. What is the video source that you wish to watch or play or record ? Example: You can watch a YouTube video in VLC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJPSrM_y9ik or "C:\Program...

I use VLC for unattended backend recording.
Today one of the recording sessions crashed.
This blocked ALL the rest of the recording sessions for the day because VLC wanted permission to send a crash report.

Question: How do I PERMANENTLY disable this crash reporting feature ??

The simple things are sometimes the most challenging.

You said you were using Mint. I decided to give LMDE a try (as a VMware virtual machine) to see if I get get the latest version of VLC loaded. no joy yet....
