Center audio channel is missing on more and more files

Hi all. I'm encountering an increasing number of MP4 files that lack a center audio channel, or at least the center channel not being played back by my Denon receiver. VLC has long had flaky audio, where the center channel is occasionally missing until I go up to the Audio Device menu and re-select ...

Convert AAC surround to PCM on the fly

Hi all. I'm encountering a growing number of ignorantly encoded video files, in that their audio has been converted from AC-3 to AAC. Not surprisingly, A/V receivers do not play the audio from these files correctly; the center audio channel is missing. In fact, I'm curious as to why I'm even hearing...

Re: Time code and frame per frame

Hi all. Anything ever happen with this? I'm editing a movie and the director is looking at clips in QuickTime Player and sending me notes based on the times it shows. Those are worthless, because the editor (Premiere) only shows the real timecode embedded by the camera in the file. Is there still no...

Re: FLAC skipping in Rincewind

Same here. FLAC playback is unusable in 2.1.1.

still happening

This is still happening under Mac OS 10.8.3 and VLC 2.0.6. The center channel is going to the left surround. I didn't bother trying to figure out where the other ones were going. The program material was a TV show, so I'm assuming it's normal 5.1. Was there ever any fix for this? UPDATE: I went into...

Audio is sent to wrong channels

Hi all. I have my MacBook Pro sending audio to a Denon receiver over HDMI. When I play MKVs, the audio is directed to incorrect channels. It appears that the center channel is directed to the left surround channel, and other audio is spread across the three front channels. I don't hear anything from...

VLC mysteriously opens two video windows for one video

Hi all. I have one WMV file that somehow causes VLC to open two video windows. One of them has the normal controls and title bar, the other is just a borderless window showing the same video content. Well, it's roughly the same; it appears to be of slightly lower quality. Is this known behavior? Tha...

Re: What's up with the continual resetting of the video size?

OK. I signed up for the Trac database and logged in, but I can't find any way to create a new bug report.

What's up with the continual resetting of the video size?

The new version (.9.4) is still canceling your selected zoom setting at the start of every clip. The old VLC (.8.whatever) would do this when the files in the playlist differed in size, but the new one does it even when repeating a single clip. If you set the video to double size, for example, it sh...

This is a big pain.

In perhaps a related problem, VLC has long had a problem where it'll reset the video size for no reason when switching files. For example, if you have video set to play back at double size, VLC will switch back to 1:1 when it plays the next file in the playlist or even repeats the same file. VLC has...
