Thanks!

Thanks for the information.

Hi,

is it possible to use system volume control with the Apple Remote instead of VLC's own volume control?

Hello, Why is the interpolation in VLC of such a bad quality? I give you an example. Especially the red lines show the difference. VLC: http://localhostr.com/files/7f743e/VLC.png ( http://localhostr.com/files/7f743e/VLC.png ) Quicktime: http://localhostr.com/files/700ee3/QT.png ( http://localhostr.c...

Can I use a M3U or PLS on the commandline too? Because that way I could at least prepare a list before streaming it...

But still, isn't there a ... more convenient way of adding files while a session is already running?

Does noone have a solution for this?

Hello, this is probably an easy thing for you but I just don't figure out how to do it. I am using VLC on a Mac (and a Windows machine). I would like to do two things that are very similar. First thing is that I want to listen to my music library of one computer via LAN (http) on another. The second...

Sorry if I ask again but I'd like to know...

Yes. VLC is able since a few days to do x264 2-pass encoding in the dev version.

Which one of the nightlies is that? Or isn't it a SVN?

If you are a person that likes to jump to the end and doesn't like to learn the middle this codec is NOT for you.

Well, actually I learnt most of the middle now...

Yes. VLC is able since a few days to do x264 2-pass encoding in the dev version.

Which one of the nightlies is that?

Because the container was never finished for VLC. Why? Not because it's technically impossible, right? So, it must be a "political" decision. Or was the container considered not to be good enough? I'm just curious because sometimes I wish I could pass the video data through into an avi in...

Why is output to AVI not possible in VLC (transcoding)?

Ok. My goal of all the questions and recherche was to find out which codec really is best and which one I should use. Nothing more than that. So, if I should use x264, how can I get the most out of it? Should I wait for VLC to officially get 2-pass support and more options or can you recommend anoth...

I guess anyone has the right to conduct a shootout and express their opinion. No doubt about that! What I meant was: Do you think that the tests deliver results that cannot be doubted or could somebody else maybe have different results? In short, do you think the test methods really reveal which co...

I'm sorry. I overread the "VLC now can"... Seems as if I was too focused on the word "x264"...

By the way, what do you think: are the tests and results of the codec shootout on Doom9 really appropriate?

[...]since a few days[...]

Um... alright, then please tell me how come that doom9 codec shootout 2005 concludes that x264 is a better codec than Quicktime H.264 when 2-pass and other quality options were not available for x264 at that time. I'm a little confused and I guess you can understand why.

Sorry again if I appeared to know what I was talking about

No problem, I take the good will for the deed.

What type of programs are you looking for? Well, the term "another question" might be a bit misleading. I just wonder which codec I should use for lossless compression that other encoding applications (or Quicktime) understand, which lossless codecs are known to be fast and efficient, whi...

Hmm…isn’t PNG lossless? Yes it is. And both, VLC and Quicktime (which I often need), support PNG. The problem is: I have to record in Windows. Would it be on my Mac everything would be a two click thing (SnapzX) but in Windows it's not: In Windows I use Camtasia and that relies on the Windows codec...

Ok, but is x264 (commandline) able to do 2-pass at all?

By the way, which lossless codec may I use for screen capture? Huffyuv does not seem to be supported - VLC always crashes when loading the files.

Hi!

I don't know if this is the right channel.

My question is: When transcoding a video to H.264 (which is done by x264, right?) in GUI mode, how can I use 2-pass encoding?

Or do I have to do that on the commandline?

Right click, enqueue in playlist The menu entry in the context menu of Explorer isn't there although I installed that option. Strange... I will explore that later. Concerning dragging something into the playlist: So, you want to say, there is no way of configuring VLC to generally behave like I poi...

That only works if you already got one instance open. This isn't exactly what I want... I just want VLC not to play a file right after starting up but to wait for the user to press a button.

Hi! I did not find anything about that in the forums: How can I change VLCs startup behaviour so that it does NOT instantly play the file I double clicked on? What I mean is, I double click on a movie file and VLC comes up. It then automatically plays the file. I want to avoid that. I want VLC not t...
