I got the file from BenBE and extracted the subtitles (Advanced SSA) and found out the exact character which causes the crash: It seems the character after "Original Work" and before "Original Story/Supervision" hasn't been encoded properly. I've uploaded the line which causes th...

Write an application that shows multiple videos at once (perhaps by using vlclib or how it is called). This program then should be able to detect clicks on its user interface and react appropriately...

Mmh, I've tested 3 video files and one DVD. The statistics page was always non-functional, like this: Statistics Here are results for three different files: File 1 , File 2 , File 3 (file names pixelized). Playing the DVD gave this: DVD I've found another bug: When drag&dropping a video into a r...

Never tried this, but perhaps (until a solution is implemented) you could rewrite the file associations such that your shortcut is used instead of vlc.exe directly.

Example: Start a video You want to access a special position in the video which you roughly rem...

Try one of the nightly builds, this should resolve the problem

I'm using VLC trunk-20080824-0930 on Windows XP SP2 on an AMD64 X2 4600+, 2GB RAM. When starting a certain DVD (to be exact: Any of the DVDs of Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex) the aspect ratio is at first correct. But when starting an episode it changes to a value I don't know. It's even fla...

I'm using VLC trunk-20080824-0930 on Windows XP SP2 on an AMD64 X2 4600+, 2GB RAM. I have a video (.mkv; H264 1280x720) with subtitles, which causes VLC to crash abruptly when reaching a certain position.

Hello, I have some video files containing dual mono audio streams. Unfortunately only the left channel is activated and played as mono (on both speakers) by default. In fact it is possible to select "Stereo" in the audio playback menu but I think this should be the standard setting. Furthe...

Hello, the following problems appears only at some of my .divx files and therefore I think it might be a problem within the files: After opening the file xyz.divx only the left audio channel is active.
