Still having this problem.
String used to work fine.

How can I change the windows border color in VLC? I dont want to go full screen or borderless, I need the advanced controls for editing. But every time I watch a video in the dark the white windows border is just so bright. It would be nice to have a darker color. I tried some skins but I actually l...

bump?

bump?

I see a ton of skins for VLC but I don't see any skins that are stock, keeping the factory appearance...but just simply changing the bright colors to dark. I don't want to get fancy with the buttons. I want to keep it simple. But I do want to get rid of the bright colors. Any recommendation would be...

Under Video & Codecs Settings I have the following string C:\Users\SP\Downloads\$N_($ T) If I remove " $N_($ T) " Video Name (Video Time) the file records fine. But with the Video Name & Time string added I'm not getting an output file saved to Downloads. This exact string worked p...

yep same problem.

I have set ALL of the "jump sizes" to 5 seconds but VLC still insists to jump different times depending of the length of the video.

So an I frame contains a number of frames, thus explaining the delay from the time of the click of the record button, to the actual beginning of the capture file?
Does everyone have this problem?

I don't get it. Everyone says VLC is great for recording short clips but with this issue it's not.
It's horrible! 4 seconds is a lot of time in a short clip.

I have to look at the time I want the clip to begin, and hit the record button 4 or sometimes even 6 seconds before I want the clip to begin.

I've had this problem for a while now. When I hit the record button I get clips that start about 4 seconds after the frame that I want to start recording.

Anyone else have this problem and know of a fix?

thanks.

I'm wanting any snaps or recording of a video to automatically be saved to that videos main folder without having to change settings.

Is there a command to make screenshots and capture recordings to save to the directory of the currently viewing file? Humm. Sorry if I'm not posting in the right place, I'm new to VLC. Let me try to explain better. Say I'm watching a video 1234.mp4 from path C:/video/1234 movie/ And I'm taking snaps...

Record/Capture delayed! Every time I click the record/capture button during a video VLC seems to only start to capture about 5 or 8 seconds of the video after i clicked the button. This is so annoying! I have to select the record button 8 seconds before the part i want to capture than load the clip ...

How to have different "setups" for the different features of VLC I have my VLC configured in the perfect way for watching multiple videos at once on multiple monitors. I have spent some time fine tuning VLC to play multiple vids just the way I like it. However when I want to perform a spec...

Captures and records WMV as ASF but not able to play the ASF file Please let me start by saying I don't understand all the coding and container jargon. I just use VLC to make clips of longer vids. Problem is when I play a WMV file it saves the clip as an ASF. This would be ok (i guess, would rather ...

I found this post during a google search. However I'm a noob. Can someone give me the command line to enter under: Show settings, all, video, snapshot , video snapshot file prefix I would like the file prefix to be the name of the video file, and the sufix to be the date snapshot taken. Thanks to an...
