Both "stream" and "output" are nouns, but when put together, the first one acts as an adjective in English. Consider "cowboy hat." It's a type of hat. So a stream output should be a kind of output, whereas "output stream" would refer to some sort of stream. Ge...

This is a very short message and only a small problem, but the page http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-gentoo.html, the text should be changed like so: :arrow: However we advice to always use the latest should be :arrow: However, we advise to always use the latest The comma after "However&qu...

Post it anywhere you want and provide the link here.

Believe it or not, I don't even know how to do that!

Incidentally, my file associations may be messed up. Not only do the wrong icons show up in Windows Explorer, but some of the files show up as winamp files (and I got rid of winamp a long time ago), and many of the ones with VLC icons open in different programs.

I was having the same problem with equalizer not working earlier today. It only didn't work on the files that I created using VLC saved from streams. ALL other mp3's on computer worked fine. So for some reason VLC prog equalizer doesn't cooperate with it's self created mp3's OR mpga's or mp4's . th...

[quote="DJ"]Can you provide a sample?[/quote]

Sure, I can submit a 50kb .wav file, but I don't know how to upload it.

The default is DirectX. But if you are using Vista you may need to explicitly set this to DirectX. I suggested trying the older method of addressing the audio card. When I tried that, I got no sound at all. I'm using Windows XP Home edition, SP2. This should not happen! Try updating your audio driv...

[quote="DJ"]I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling VLC. Be sure to delete VLC's Preferences files. If the problem persists, try going back to VLC 0.8.5[/quote] I've tried all these suggestions. As I said, I had the same problem with VLC 0.8.5. I wish I could find a simple, free, sou...

[quote="DJ"]It's NOT dated 4/15/07! It's dated 4/24/07. I have never experienced a problem with the EQ as it is a real filter set. So I'm not quite sure what to suggest. I'm also unaware of anyone else sharing this problem.[/quote] That's good to know. It explains why I couldn't find anyth...

[quote="DJ"]Try 0.8.6b dated 4/24/07 available from VLC's main page.[/quote]

That's the one I mean. (The troublesome behavior of the equalizer is unchanged from the older version.)

I can't get the equalizer to work. The headphone filter works, the "smooth" slider works, the checkboxes can be checked, and the frequency band sliders work, but they have no effect on the sound. The button to reset the frequency band sliders has no effect. I've gotten the equalizer to wor...
