DJ, your 'Subtitle for Dummies' must be made sticky!

Will be of great help to those looking for sub help.

I downloaded from uttorent, but for some reason cannot view the item.
Is there something i must do to specify i will use vlc and to conver the file to this format?
.

VLC by itself is not a format per se. It merely plays the files.

What is the file extension for the files you downloaded?

Are you sure that .sub file is in the same folder as .idx file?

I just checked the roadmap page.

It says

Milestone: 0.8.6

Due in 7 hours (10/01/06)

Does that really mean its gonna be out in 7 hrs !! ?

.idx + .sub combo are image based subtitles so text encoding doesn't matter. Open the .idx file as subtitle and then press right mousebutton on video ja choose Subtitle track -> Swedish Where do I press the right mousebutton on the video again? If you mean in "my computer" I can't find th...

Useful update!

I was wondering how nighltlies progressed to 0.9 version & yet 0.8.6 is not out.

Clears that!

What codec does the video use.? And let me just add this. I too got that kind of garbled screen when I played a DRM'ed video in VLC player.[For which I didnt have the key]. I dont know if your video has DRM - But,since you are able to play it fine in WMP,there is a chance that WMP has the key stored...

Is there any tentative release date for 0.8.6?

Yes it can! It's WVC1 and you will need to install it.

What is WVC1?

Issue Resolved ! Turns out that 'Hardware Acceleration' was the problem. It was set to level 3[That disables all direct draw & direct 3d accelerators]!! I set it back to maximum & VLC is playing fine now!! _________ What had happened was,while I was doing the editing work on windows movie ma...

Yes opening a file is as simple as that.

But to figure why your file isnt playing,first of all, what format is it? What is the file extension?

I just resolved a similar problem.

I know you have the latest drivers.Yet, check if you have Hardware acceleration set to max in windows graphics properties.

I have already deleted the preference files,rebooted.
Still the videos are bluish.

Would it help changing the video to other color schemes like CMY,RGB etc..?

Looks like your processor isnt able to do the video work.
How powerful is your PC & were you able to play fine before ?

DJ,I think enabling Looping in VLC is a bit strange. Lets say I want to loop a single file. Currently the way to do this is to open up the playlist manager (even if i have only one file) and press the repeat one button. This seems to be the only way to do it. If I go to Settings->Preference->Playlis...

Just a suggestion ,since nothing much happening.

Uninstall your VLC & install the latest Nightly build of VLC.

You mean you cant play files of any format at all ? MOV, AVI,MPG ??

If they dont, see if they play MP3's atleast...

VLC used to work fine for me on Win XP. However ,of late ( Not sure if after I updated to 0.8.5) ,any video I open in VLC Player is 90% Blue in Color. Red doesnt appear at all. The same video files(DivX,FLV,AVI) play perfectly fine in every other player like mplayer2,Windows media player or anything...

I think he is referring to play the VOB file directly without going through the DVD menu to play.

Yes its possible to save to another format using VLC.

Open your VLC player and hit CTRL+W or goto FILE->Wizard in the Menu.
Choose 'Transcode/Save to File'. Press Next.

Follow the wizard ,select the format & save the file.

Ok. The Code works fine in Internet Explorer 6. However it doesnt work in firefox [my version is latest 1.5.0.7] One advantage of using VLC in Webpage is,after the video is made fullscreen in the webpage, all of VLC player's shortcut keys work! Currently that code uses the vlc player 0.8.5 installed...

Hi Wambozzi. Your idea of embedding vlc in webpage is interesting. I just tried your code on firefox with code pointing to a video on desktop . I get the player buttons on the webpage.But when i hit play,nothing happens. , Do i have to download the file axvlc.cab seperately,that you mention in code ...

Irrespective of what the solution is to save with VLC,
You shd use the free software SUPER. It converts zillion video formats to zillion other formats. http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Perfect for making videos ,editing compatible.

Hope this is of use to you.
