Hi I have VLC 2.2.1 It was not the first version downloaded, which was the one that converted great. I also did not choose CNET for the download, techs for the hardware I was using did. I would have rather they go to the source. Boy little did I know. I ended up having to get a new hard drive and th...

Do you have the older download? What I would do is uninstall the newer version and just go back to the older one. There is nothing that says you can't do that. I had the older one which also worked marvelously. But when I downloaded it from CNET with it came some very destructive malware that since ...

I am no expert, but I've struggled a lot with VLC and will try to help. What version of VLC are you using? From where did you download it? What are you trying to play ie: a file from your computer, a file from a DVD, a file from a video recorder What are you using (windows 7, mac, etc.) I will give ...

I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I was directed to download VLC first at the end of January 2015 from CNET site. Well that was a nightmare. With that download came such nasty, destructive malware I ended up nearly having my hard drive crash and I ended up needing a new one -- thankfully I got a new hard...

I feel your pain. Earlier versions of VLC worked great at converting. However, this version now just crashes. I don't know what they changed, but it is not an improvement. I have asked for help several times on this forum, but no answers. With all the requests for help and the issues largely being c...

Is there anyway to get the older version? That version worked great. This one isn't a better one. It has always crashed every time after getting video to convert. The other converted just fine. I have no clue what is wrong. I uninstalled it, because unless it can do that, it's useless to me. I don't...

I have uninstalled, re-booted, re-installed. It still crashes after I get the video all set up to be converted. I read the faq for this specific problem. I have done all it says to do about deleting %appdata% and that doesn't help. I am not sure what settings it should be on, other than jpg for phot...

I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I download the appropriate VCL version, the latest, 2.2.1 for windows,. While an earlier version used to work fabulously in converting video files from .asp files it does not convert at all now. It seems to just vanish. What now? Why is there always a problem? I really w...

I have reinstalled a codec pack. I've re-installed two I have in my downloads. I don't know why it isn't working. Any suggestions?

Greetings I searched past forum questions/comments and saw four that made reference to "virus-laden codecs" (wow that is so true) and one about take care where you download your VLC from. Mine was downloaded from CNET at the end of February by a tech. I did not know there was a site and us...

Greetings: Can anyone give me some suggestions on what format is the best to convert to so I can also play video on WMP and Corel's VideoStudio? Corel is pretty flexible. But WMP has been a problem, given that in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit they do not provide the codecs to play mp4. I've been asking on th...

Just curious, but where did you download your version of VLC from?

Actually it was not a driver issue, but I am sure now an issue of downloading VLC with a virus, malware or some other toxic substance. VLC works great for a while, but then it becomes corrupt, and I have to uninstall and re-install. But that is NOTHING compared to everything else that has happened t...

Greetings: Once I became familiar with VLC and learned how to convert, I did so to mp4. But I had no problems whatsoever playing that converted video on Windows Media Player. I had to do the umpteenth system restore (another question in another topic) I lost a codec. Anyway, the converted videos won...

I uninstalled VLC, then re-installed the one I had originally downloaded, from CNET. I don't know if you are aware, but that site would not let me download VCL, three times my notebook froze up seriously when I tried so I went to my original downloads. I have it working, but there are some settings ...

I have been into preferences. Something went wrong,whereas it was converting to a format, the file last night I converted, it wouldn't play by ANYTHING not VLC or Media player. NOW IT DOESN 'T STAY OPEN long enough to convert. Okay, so one can open preferences, but this DOES NOT ADDRESS what went wr...

Okay, I went into preferences. I am not sure what to set, but while looking around it crashed again, and then a box opened and said "issues found: incompatible application. vlc is incompatible."
Could it be incompatible with itself?

My CPU is fast enough to run the older version. I have a dedicated graphics card, HP probook. It's pretty good running media programs and I have no issues with some of the others. CPU: 2.3 Ghz. This is going to sound idiotic, but how to set preferences? What would be the best preferences to set to h...

Please can anyone help? I have windows 7 64 bit on a probook. I had downloaded VLC player about a month ago. I finally figured out how to convert videos from asf files to others, mp4 etc. and it was working like a charm. But something happened. I don't use it everyday, only when I had to download vi...

Hello all: Well this ought to be a basic thing here but nothing has caused me more grief. I even had to uninstall and re-install because the player just got stuck. Over and over. I must confess, this is not my player of choice. But the folks who sold me my security camera system assure me it is the ...
