The VideoLAN Forums

I tried the method you reported, but in that way I record the screen output, not the streams. So I must see and hear the video meanwhile and I can't see anything else, a big problem with adult videos :-P Furthermore if the output lags, the lag is recorded! Edit: changed the thread title, it's more g...

When I tried to save this stream: http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=1mB5LX0itIgeeqqEEqual with VLC, doing: Open network stream Stream Save to file without transcoding I noticed VLC used the mp4 container. I had to manually change the extension of the file to .asf at the Gene...

libavcodec53 is on Canonical, but much of dependencies in VLC are on Universe, as VLC too...

Well, if you read this thread on Ubuntu forum, in particular this post, you can see patents are a problem and size is not, in particular now with the dvd format.

For what I know VLC is very popular and this is the only obstacle to have it as default player in Ubuntu and other Unix-like OSs.

Thank you, I was searching exactly this. I must say the VLC help is not very clear about this.

Ok, I changed it in the Transcode prefs and it seems a bit faster indeed. Anyway for what I know this means ffmpeg is applied to all codecs, not only to theora. How can I do this?

I changed Stream output -> Muxers to ffmpeg but it is still slow. Was I wrong?

In theory, can't VLC obtain current time from values of FPS?
Since ffplay works, can't VLC use ffmpeg code to calculate total / current time?

Well, now Theora is no more at experimental stage, and I must say VLC is very slow to play them too. ffmpeg's fault?

PS: to encode to theora:
For better results, raise -b parameter.

I can't see current position in seconds from the beginning of a .TS file. This is such a file I recorded with my digital terrestrial TV decoder: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33183126/0001.TS As you can see, VLC displays 0:00 all the time. I need to know current position in second since I want to cut thos...

...(Sheldon mode) Is it irony? The matter is VLC is too big?!?

I'm an Ubuntu user, and I see much people like me switch immediately from Totem to VLC. For what I know VLC is not the default multimedia player shipped in Ubuntu because of US patent issues with some codecs. Can't you create a reduced version of VLC without the support for those codecs, and add the...

A friend of mine can't hear the sounds from a DVD, or a video file on a DVD, with VLC. If he opens the DVD with WMP, there's no problem. I opened the DVDs with Gspot, and all video and sound codecs are ok. I must say I can hear the sound of the same DVDs on my PC, with the same Windows OS, the same ...

Thank you

I have a simple question: it exists a newsletter that informs you when a stable VLC version is released?

I mean a simple GUI shortcut that can change some options all together, to raise or lower the video/sound quality.

If someone is interested I updated my personal config files. Suggestions are welcome

Thank you

Anyway I in my settings have minimized the use of the CPU. I think it could be useful a GUI command that change temporary the audio and video quality level settings.

I link my config file as example:

Hello all. I have a simple question: I want to copy the VLC settings from one computer to another. The settings are stored in a file or in the windows registry? And where exactly?
