Audio Sychronization during conversion

Hi All The UI has some great features for synchronisation of audio and subtitles while playing a video I want to save the video with this synchronisation in place (to avoid having to to it each time I watch the video) But I cant find any synchronisation facilities while converting? There are various...

Re: Movie out of sync in VLC but OK in Vdub

Thx - Yes had come to that conclusion also.
Trouble is Vdub has so many great editing/adjusting features.
Sounds like I may have to learn a new skill set :-(

Movie out of sync in VLC but OK in Vdub

Hi I have a number of avi movie files that play just fine in Vdub but when I play them in Vlan the sound is out of sync. Mostly an offset (- typically c.0.5 seconds) issue but the occasional movie is slightly out in frame rate as well. There were encoded in Vdub using x264vfw (latest version) Never ...

Re: Option to display FILE NAMES instead of META TAGS

Been searching for a way to display file names (instead of metadata) in the playlist and there are requests for this option going back many years. Disappointing that nothing has been done. As pointed out above, it really cant be that hard and it would make life so much easier for those of us who use...

Re: [SOLVED]VLC 2.1 video displays b&w dots in rectangle sha

Bad luck - though I am surprised none of the options in the drop down box worked. It was a pretty comprehensive list.
Anyway, it will get solved in time and you have a version that works

Re: VLC 2.1 Video displays b&w dots in rectangle pattern

[SOLVED] Change the Output Option (Preferences -> Video) to "OpenGL video output" and it now works so maybe some work to do on defaults?:-)

What are the Pros and Cons of the various alternatives in this drop down list

[SOLVED]VLC 2.1 video displays b&w dots in rectangle shape

Been a user for several years now - great product but a nasty hiccup with 2.1.1 I installed it on Tosh M10 (Windows 7) and it works fine I tried to install it on my aging Tosh Satellite P10 (XP) and disaster. VLC fires up OK and the drag and drop to a playlist works fine. But when you come to play a...

Bring Back a Feature - The Slider for 'broken' Files

0.8.5. If this version was used to access a partially donwloaded emule part file, there was a (optional) warning about the file being broken, an option to try to fix the index so seeking was OK and, whether the file was fixed or not, vlc then tried its best to play it. When playing the file, the pos...

Re: 0.8.6f position slider

I could indeed process the file thru virtualdub (or indeed one of the other 'fix an avi file' utilities. But the reason for using vlc in the first place is to sample various bits of the part file to make sure that the part file is what it says it is ideally with minimum hassle. It seems that some de...

Re: 0.8.6f position slider

0.8.5 has a parameter 'Force Index Creation' which is blank. There is also no (significant) time lag before the slider is available and works. A) If the slider is moved, it takes some while for the picture to reappear - looks like VLC is reading serially through the file b) if the mouse is clicked o...

Re: 0.8.6f position slider

j-b Thank you for your interest. Perhaps you did not notice the original post which said: * vlc 0.8.5 on EXACTLY the same partfile (accessed via a network) gives no message and provides a position slider that works just fine and shift/ctrl+arrow that perform very well. So I am still curious to know ...

Re: 0.8.6f position slider

Yes - but only after posting - sorry :-(.
it stops the message about files being broken but does not bring the slider back nor does it allow Ctrl-> or Shift-arrow and leaves no way of skipping through a movie.

0.8.6f position slider

I just upgraded vlc to 0.8.6f. I still have 0.8.5 on another pc. When I use vlc to view an emule partfile;- * vlc 0.8.6f gives me a message about AVI file is broken Seeking etc . . . . . . and then displays the movie without a position slider. The --please stay polite--+arrow keys do nothing so ther...
