Hello,

Use the "sout-keep" option (available in the Stream output part of the preferences)

Hello,

VLC codecs are fully separate and won't cause any disturbance in your WMP codecs

Hello, Go to Preferences->Stream output->Sout Stream->Transcode Check "advanced options". At the end of the page, there is a "threads" option. Set it to the number of procs that should be used (I would recommend not using 4 but 3 if you want to do something while encoding)

Hello,

VLC can't play them on MAC. Windows Media Player is ported to mac and can play them.

Hello,

This is explained in the VLC Play Howto on http://www.videolan.org/doc . This question has also been answered many times in this forum, please search a little.

Hello,

It does not at the moment, and for the moment, we do not really plan on adding this feature, as rm (real media) is a proprietary format for which no open source decoder exists at the moment

Hello,

No, VLC can't do this. The problem is that anyway, transmitting and displaying the huge amount of uncompressed data will probably be hard too for your p2 266.

Hello,

Basically, this is probably the single most critical problem in VLC these days: it can't "stop" to "wait the buffer". Changing this will definitely be done, but it is quite complex...

Hello,

"mp4v" has the big advantage of working almost everywhere. It's not the most perfect choice for bandwidth efficiency, but is the most practical one

Hello,

Please search the forums, this question has been asked and answered several times.

The simplest way is to reinstall VLC and to enable file associations options

OSX , all versions

Hello,

For webcam, you absolutely need to transcode, which the wizard does not allow (yet?). You should use the "normal" GUI, which is fairly documented in our "streaming howto"

Hello,

You can do this by going in Preferences->Interfaces->General->wxWidgets, and uncheck "embed video in interface".

We will be improving the skins system to allow that more cleanly

Hello, This option is available, but hidden In preferences, go to "Input/Codecs" -> General. You have a "audio language" box, just enter "fr" inside, and it should work, if your audio tracks are correctly tagged. If they are not, check "advanced options" and e...

What did you have for dinner ?

Hello,

The not-so-bad news is that, to comply with DMCA, we already have partly separated decryption support from the main binary.

But anyway, that does not change anything to the fact that this law is a very dangerous towards censorship and monopoly of the majors

Hello,

Not, is has not been implemented (yet)

Hello, The fact that the line gets commented is normal. "1" is the default value so if you try to set it, it will comment it out, because it's "useless". What is the name of the movie and the name of the subtitle file ? Did you put the "fuzzyness" option (in the same pa...

Hello,

The videos that have this problem are broken AVI files. VLC can "repair" them. At the moment, you need to go to Preferences->Input/Codecs->Demuxers->AVI and select "repair AVI index".

Hello,

Did you try to enable postprocessing in VLC (in the Video menu). It uses ffmpeg post-processing algorithms, like ffdshow, so the quality should just be the same.

Hello, These are the two main solutions to do this. The telnet interface opens in the background and waits for connexions. To connect to the telnet interface, open a dos command box and type "telnet localhost 4212" (or another port if you changed it with the telnet-port option) The default...

Hello, The problem probably comes from libdvdcss (the DVD decryption library) that caches key info for each DVD it plays. I had never seen libdvdcss crash while using cached data, I guess we'll have to investigate. As a workaround, you can remove the data in Documents and Settings\Your_Name\Applicat...

Hello, SEALAND (well, HavenCo, actually) is a bit too expensive for us (several thousands $ per month for a few Mbps) :) Zorinlynx: yes, free speech is of course available in France (it's in the Constitution), but it must not be against the law. You cannot freely advocate terrorism, racism, ... So, ...

Hello,

By cutting down on buffers, you should be able to reach about 500ms + the latency of the Internet line. You can search the forums for more details on how to achieve this
