Effects and Filters usages

I have for sometime tried to alter Videos by changing HUE, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRACT, ETC. I am able to adjust those parameters during the SHOWING of the video but have never been able to SAVE it for permanent. I understood VLC was able to preform this function by using: MEDIA/CONVERT/SAVE to SAVE my alt...

VLC playing videos randomly upon multiple selections

Sometime I need to check the quality of many videos so I do the multiple selection using window Explorer and hold down the CNTL key and select 5,8,10, etc and then hit play. When I select them, I do so in size or alphabetical order. But when VLC plays them, it does randomly. Example today, I chose 1...

VLC fixes the Index but how to make permanent?

There are various instructions on how to fix an AVI video but none I could find fits the current version of VLC. If the Index is bad, it asks if you want it to fix it but that is time consuming as it apparently does not save it. The VLC process is slow to do it ever time. Is there a way to save it f...

Problems when updating to the latest release

One issue that really upsets me is the inability or my lack knowledge of how to avoid redesigning the CUSTOMIZE INTERFACE when faced with an UPDATE. Every time my antivirus tells me VLC is 'not up-to-date' and I update it, I avoid the update as I know my CUSTOMIZE INTERFACE will be LOST just like to...

What is the difference between the two? The players are the same? Or look the same. I have used VLC for years but never re...

The CUSTOMIZE INTERFACE is always changing

For years now, I have spent lots of time "customizing the Interface" as it is an important feature while using VLC. 1. From one release to another (not deleting preferences does not work for me), I have to re-do. 2. For no reason I know, buttons come and go, I SAVE them sometimes but my sa...

Can someone expand the parameters as they appear under the PREFERENCES/VIDEO to increase the size of the picture? Aspect ratio?
