I'm sorry I can't help you on the crash—VLC can't automatically update though, only notify you when there's a new version available (and by choice download it and start the installer for you, but the setup is manual). You can always downgrade to an older version though, they're all archived on Sourc...

I occasionally use VLC to record WMA streams from a radio station to disk. To that effect I use VLC's Convert feature. I understand that it would be possible to dump the raw stream by ticking the respective checkbox in VLC's convert dialog. This will result in a WMA file of around 22 MB per hour, wh...

Well, that does make sense to me, especially with B-frames. Actually, if the original poster has the same problem as me, it doesn't make sense. I get the same symptoms as described, but one detail is that the first frame after seeking is actually displayed correctly, and only all subsequent frames ...

I have noticed the same. This is probably a video card driver issue. To the original poster: try going to VLC's video options and disabling "use hardware conversions from YUV to RGB" I am currently using an nVIDIA GTX 570, but have had the same issue with the ATI Radeon HD 4870 I used befo...

Restarting VLC is not necessary, just stopping and restarting playback will suffice to apply the new setting. By the way, this has not only happened in VLC for me. Since upgrading to Catalyst 12.6 I have had this problem in VLC, Media Player Classic, MPlayer, Windows Media Player, and Adobe Flash. E...

It is possible that the other applications I successfully tested were not using DirectX, and therefore were able to use the 4.1 configuration set up in Windows 7's audio panel. Unfortunately the WaveOut plugin in VLC does not given any useful option either. Is there any other way to get VLC to use a...

I have a 5.1 speaker setup configured as a 4.1 setup, since due to the location of my computer and my monitor setup, it is impossible for me to place the center speaker. For that reason, I want my applications to mix the center channel into the L and R channels. This works fine for every Windows app...

I did, but it helps only for the session in which I cleared the preferences, or the first run after I deleted the vlcrc file. Once I close VLC and start it again, the images start appearing again. And they're still the same images for the same video! Is there some explanation on where the pictures c...

I have the weirdest problem with VLC 0.9.4. Before playing a video or a video section, VLC will flash very shortly a seemingly random picture that it must have found somewhere on my harddrive. I have done a search for this in the forums, I hope I didn't miss anything. I noticed a couple of times alr...
