Is there a way for me to use the coreavc codec with VLC? I dont know why but wmp12 will get screwy video with 1080p mkv. I have the latest video card drivers and this wasent always an issue. anyway if there is a way to get VLC to use coreavc maybe that will fix any of the stuttering issues VLC used ...

ok thanks for your help guys. yeah i really didnt want to have to use mplayer but it seems for now that might be the only way to go.

also just thinking is there a way i can download another codec which will play HD h.264 files since the curent codec for vlc seems to be lacking and not able to use multi core? and if so is do i just drop it in a certain folder and replace a file?

hmm neither option seemed to make it run flawless. better but still not flawless. and inside win7 my ratings are
cpu: 6.0
ram: 6.0
graphics: 5.7
gaming graphics: 6.1

there really should be no lag. This is frusterating. Any other ideas on what it could be?

yeah i did that and it still seems to be having the issue. is there anything else i can try? one of the versions of vlc not sure it worked fine but for some reason not anymore.

I have a Core 2 duo T9300 (2.5ghz) 3 gigs of ram and a nvidia 8600GT vid card and it seems any HD movie studders the playback. THe audio is fine but the video sucks. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I am running latest version of VLC and vista home premium.

How else you want it to be? A setting in the advanced preferences of the GUI might be a good idea. So we could run several versions of VLC at the same time, say the latest stable release and a nightly for testing purposes. And the ability to use relative paths (--config=.) in this setting might als...

aww thats the only way to do it? through a shortcut?

still have yet to see the option to set the settings in another directory other than %appdata%\VLC

where do i do that? nowhere in the options do i see a place to set a config directory other than %appdata%/vlc

Hi I was curious if there is a way i can store all the settings for VLC into a directory i choose and not %appdata%/vlc maybe something like C:\program files\vlc\settings this way i can put it on a thumb drive so i dont have to worry about forgetting the settings everytime if i bring it to another c...

I seem to have a problem when i drag VLC from my laptop to my tv screen (tv screen is extended from desktop) and try to go to fullscreen the video automatically goes into full screen on the laptop even though the video was on the tv. then when i double click to go back to window mode it shows it on ...

what about the main window and media library window being 1 instance and 1 window instead of opening a second taskbar item.

Yes, this is easier to fix.

How do i fix that?

what about the main window and media library window being 1 instance and 1 window instead of opening a second taskbar item.

I am running the latest version of VLC for windows and I am on a vista computer. When i try to add a directory for VLC for the media library it says program not responding for a few hours then once it seems it finds the media it crashes. The drive its looking for music on is a external hooked to my ...

Is there a reason why VLC always is crashing when i try to load files into the media library? its coming from a NAS drive but it works fine with foobar and winamp. Just get the playlist (Not responding) in vista.

If i could do all that i would:) i have 0 clue how to code. Just putting down some request i am sure many people would enjoy:). A good lightweight universal player would be great for everyone. Winamp is bloated now and lets not get started with WMP:)

Im running VLC 0.9.4 and I am really looking to replace winamp and use VLC for both music and video. The problem i have is my music collection is on my network and is VERY big (over 200 gigs) when i try to add the directory of music is hangs up every time. It only works if i add directories one at a...

I think i might just wait until they become more stable the two nighties i tried crashed a lot.

also this is slightly off-topic but is there a way for me to stream TVU streams or SOPCAST streams without installing the software for either?

Even with the nightlies if i goto hotkeys and select play/pause and then hit the key on the laptop it doesnt associate with that key.

I have a DELL XPS 1530 laptop and I cant seem to get my media buttons to work with VLC. I found a plugin for winamp which let them work inside of winamp which has been pretty useful. The laptop also came with a remote with the media buttons ont he remote which now work in winamp since i got that plu...

cool thanks! i probably should keep the plugins though right?

Hi i try to avoid using installers and i downloaded the zipped version of vlc and there was lots of folders what are the bare minimum folders i need to run vlc? i dont want any addon for anything ill basically open the vlc.exe myself and open files from there do i just need the main folder and the p...
