The VideoLAN Forums

Try changing the Output module in Preferences (Ctrl + P to open) and then click the Video button. "Direct3D11 video output" works best for me, but without knowing which version of Windows you have installed together with the vlc version you're running it's too difficult to recommend any se...

Okay, that makes sense. For some reason, possibly randomly firing neurons, I thouight BD+ was related to Blu-Ray only. Is it on DVDs now? Fingers crossed for the Devs. Thank you both for your replies. BD+ is used primarily on Blu-ray, but also on HD DVDs. It's working! I moved on to do something wi...

>VLC takes the language settings from the Windows operating system
HOW? i am with WinXP

Google is your friend.

5 051892 234344 OK, now we're getting somewhere: https://www.barcodelookup.com/5051892234344 So it's a DVD released in 2021 called Dune. Since it's a recent release I would imagine the latest copyright protection is in force to prevent copying. That would likely be AACS and BD+ both of which would ...

On the top toolbar click Tools ---> Codec Information (or hit Ctrl +J)

Here's a list of vlc hotkeys which might be useful to you as well: https://www.vlchelp.com/vlc-media-player-shortcuts/

I've got: 5 (but this is outside the barcode delimiting pair so I don't know if it counts) 051892234344 This is for the first disk I sent the log for. Would you mind checking that again please, because.. https://i.postimg.cc/yW8qPywJ/invalid-barcode.png (click to enlarge) Preferably write it the wa...

VLC takes the language settings from the Windows operating system.

Lotsdelere, I'll be happy to if you can tell me where/how I can find them.

Sorry, new to me.

It's the number below the barcode. EAN-13 contains 13 digits while UPC contains only 12. It'll be either one or the other, but not both.

Please create a log file as follows: Before starting a DVD hit Ctrl + M to open Messages At the bottom of the window change Verbosity to "2" (ignore the "Save As" field for the moment) Leave it open on screen and start a DVD. When vlc stops access the Messages window again, type ...

You shouldn't be prompted for an app to open the disc with. It should play immediately.

So these DVDs that won't play. Are they homemade DVDs or originals? If they're the homegrown variety which app did you use to create them with?

Here's the Wiki on the subject: https://wiki.videolan.org/Category:Building/

To prevent vlc from resizing the screen open Preferences (Ctrl + P) and in the Interface menu remove the checkmark from "Resize the interface to video size". Save, exit and restart vlc.

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=528071#p528071 Thank you for suggestion but this doest help in my case, because i can't change main display because it will --please stay polite-- up other (and much more important) software. Sorry, but I don't understand. What do you mean by, "it wil...

Does the drive recognize that a DVD has been inserted? If so, click it in Windows File Explorer to show the contents. Changing the layout to "Details" will be helpful at this stage. If you can see an AUDIO TS and a VIDEO TS folder open the latter and find the VIDEO TS.IFO file and double c...

That's handy. Didn't know about that. Thanks for the tip. This site explains how to install FFmpeg and add it to the Windows path: https://windowsloop.com/install-ffmpeg-windows-10/ I use FFmpeg in combination with yt-dlp to download youtube videos and videos from sites that are blocked in NL if you...

It won't make a lot of difference to run vlc with hardware-accelerated decoding disabled. Software decoding is more than adequate in most cases.

A review of your GeForce GTX 1650 shows it to be a budget GPU which might affect its performance in vlc.

I tested by disabling the hardware-accelerated decoding and it seems that corrects the issue. But once I use the others (Automatic/Direct3D 11 Video Acceleration/DXVA) it'll happen again.

What's your hardware?

Hi my friend, having Googled the query, I found this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-disassociate-a-file-from-an-app-in-windows/37b58eec-060b-432f-8b64-277a6c369414 Tried it and it worked. Just note, the steps #10 and #11 which maybe I should have followed with your ow...

It still persist. https://i.postimg.cc/pXd00ZTt/VLC-4.jpg OK, in the same Input / Codecs menu --> Hardware-accelerated decoding change it to Disable. Save and restart again as before. If it fails to fix the problem please create a log as follows: Open vlc, but don't start a video yet. Instead hit C...

OK. Find any .exe file on your machine (Notepad.exe will do) and make a copy of it. Rename the copy to something else and then follow the same procedure.

Open preferences again and click the Input/Codecs button. Where it says "Hardware-accelerated decoding" change it to "DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) 2.0". Save, exit and restart vlc.

The only file downloaded was the last in the series (as a .ts file which is unusual, they are normally MP4) along with the .srt file. However, the subtitles didn't play and I foolishly attempted to open the .srt file with VLC. That did nothing other than associate all .srt files with VLC and change...
