The VideoLAN Forums

Hi. 1. Boring explanation Today I was in need of taking some screenshots from a video recording I did. Since I haven't used the snap shot function for a long time (VLC have being re-installed since then) I had to select which directory to store the image files. I had already windows exporer open at ...

Sorry to awaken a long dead forum thread, but I have a feeling that the most practical solution is found. Back a couple of years ago playing around with the same, I discovered that Avidemux actually did support this feature. If there is a folder full of image files, the user can drag'n drop that fol...

VLC installed as flatpak. The problem - I cannot save any playlist file. Whenever I save - doesn't matter if it's from within playlist and right mouse click menu or the main window Media --> save playlist to file - the menu and dialog appear correctly, but no file actually gets stored at the disk. S...

Depends what the problem is... If you messed the configuration, you can reset it. If it's a packaging problem though... The MX is just installed, and I've not touching any configuration . . . The Fedora is an older installation (Fedora 30) so I cannot rule out that, but still - I could always try t...

Hi. Have a similar problem on two of my computers. Steps to reproduce (may need to replicate twice before irt happens) From file manager (Nemo on the Fedora and Caja on the MX) - navigate to where the video files lies (mkv files recorded from a Panasonic video camera) Open a video file from file man...

Turned out that also opening smaller video files with lower resolutions caused VLC to freeze the whole system. I was able to use Avidemux to encode the first MOV-file into a mkv video with lower resolution. Anyway - I did some searching on web for that problem, and turned out somebody mentioned chan...

Hi. I'm currently trying to use the version of VLC that shipped along with Ubuntu on install, that is version 3.0.6. I run an old computer and two screens. After installing Ubuntu I also installed the ffmpeg package using Synaptic Package manager. ffmpeg version 4.1.1-1 Currently connected to the co...

Yea - it's an old XP computer (not connected to internet, so security is not a big issue).

Also the graphic card is from around 2005, so I doubt DXVA2 will ever work on that computer.

I'm not using deinterlacking either.

That is a limitation for the file system on your disk (probably has nothing to do with VLC). To overcome this, you must check if your recorder support NTFS formatted disks, or perhaps ExFat.

J2897 - thanks for an interresting approach, I will test this. That is for playback only, isn't it? Not to making an video file output. By the way - I have solved the problem regarding makint timelapse videos - I've spending some time learning to use iSpy. I've also tested the ffmpeg package (comman...

Hi. Have an old computer that had an AMD Athlon XP 3500, I upgraded that old one with an slightly newer one - a AMD Athlon XP 4200 Dual core. I was hoping to be able to play full HD videos directly without stuttering. The video files is MTS files from a regular handheld camera. I have put the video ...

Hi, thanks for answer.

A Core Duo can obviously not be used on that same MB, so therefore the project is abandoned

Hi. Have an really old computer (all major components dates 2003-2004), and it's not capable to play full HD videos. If I upgraded that old computer and upgraded to the latest (with best speck's) AGP graphic card avaiable - would that make the computer able to play full HD video files? Those files i...

Hi. When playing those MTS files, I cannot hear any sound. My computer is equiped with only a set of stereo speakers. I have a second camera (Sony pocket camera capable of recording video). It too saves as MTS file, but stereo sound. Those MTS files plays correctly in VLC. I've also tried to downloa...

Ok, thanks Lotesdelere. Heard of MP3 tag but weren't aware that it also supported mp4 files

Is there any way to mark this as solved on forum? I cannot find a way to edit previous threads (no "Edit" button).

Is there any sotware (preferably free) that allows me to add metadata to mp4 video files?

DEpends what you call tags. MP4 supports metadata.

Hi. What's the difference between metadata and tags?
Can metadata be used to eg. identify the origin for a file (who is capturing, where is video captured, etc) ?

Hi. Just wondering this. Many sources on the web, included wikipedia clearly states that MP4 files does support tags. Even meta data windows in VLC suggest that. However, I've never actually seen an mp4 file that acually had any tags when open in VLC (or Mediainfo). Is it possible, and do I need som...

You running XP? Have had two computers (still running though) that suddenly wasn't able to read any SD card. XP seems to be prone to that specific bug, so I recomend to run a Linux live-cd on that same computer and check if card reader works properly under Linux. It just don't do the tric to check t...

Binary, a set of executable code, opposed to source code.

Like when you download an exe file, it says to be an "binary file". The source code files must of course also be "binary", but you just non't say that.

Thanks. That solved the issue

Hi.

Whenever I open a video file from Explorer, VLC show the playlist a short time before the video begins to play.
It doesn't matter what type video-file I play.

Is it a way to disable the playlist from appearing before video file plays?

Windows XP sp3
VLC 2.1.1


Thanks

Bug still persistent in version 2.1.1 For an MTS file, size 231 MB and last for 2 minutes and 31 seconds, VLC outputs 3741 png files to a specified directory. 3731 of this files are empty.
