I had the same problem. All you have to do is go to "Tools" then Preferences, and click the Input and Codec Settings menu and in this menu there is a "repair AVI files". In the drop down menu/box click "Always Fix" and that's all it took for me. But if your video is st...

getting it too, all videos as far as i'm aware. but mostly avi's.
i'm on 0.9.2 . No, I won't upgrade.
There's some things .6 is worse at than .2 so I prefer the more stable version for now.
and the trouble is sometimes they work and play 1st time, others you need to pause then play to fix it.

I can confirm reverting BACK to 0.9.2 will let you save all settings.
In fact it seems to fix most problems I was having

Tip: setting brightness for video overlay on graphics cards If you find that video -- whether played from a DVD or a file -- is consistently too bright or too dark on your PC, you may benefit from my experience. On Windows XP, I can get to it through the Control Panel or by right-clicking on the de...

I have the same issue, the files play fine if you open VLC then drag them onto the program bar or use the open control.
Their not broken, their not fake.

VLC WILL play them, it just WONT open them.
And it used to.

Ok heres my list of complaints then. In the old version switching to fullscreen or away from fullscreen was 1 keypress, why is it now 2? Can we have 1 touch controls for fullscreen back please? In the old version of VLC you could fast forward and wouldn't get any sound (which I preferred), why was t...
