So you were able to launch the DVD disc by opening its Video_TS folder, that's great :) Now that's how my test went : * The DVD menu was playing in VLC, with an option to "Play All scenes" (we need to start at 00h00m00s) * It started to play the 1st chapter, I paused it quickly (let's say ...

Hi caalip & VLC_help Interesting topic indeed ! After reading you, I tried something that worked : First of all, don't let Vlc open automatically the DVD disc, because you won't be able to access the wanted menu (Video => Subtitles Track => Open File... won't open any dialog box, as described by...

Hi Carol999
Tools => Preferences => Input & Codecs => Record Directory
Indicate the Directory you want (E:\Temp in the following pic)



Save your Preferences, Quit Vlc and you're done !
Have a great year 2012

Anyway, I think I fixed if for next nightly build.

Nice end of year gift, thanks a lot j-b !
Have a great year 2012

I felt j-b would answer this kind way... j-b, you don't like lengthy posts ? So please delete my precedent post and do what you want with c627627's post. Close our accounts, ban us or do what you please, I don't care if this path issue isn't resolved until 2099 In fact I shouldn't even have answered...

Hello c627627, I haven't tested pre-version 1.2.0 but this looks very annoying, because I have one of the issue that you described. In the forum, I stopped asking for Vlc to remember correctly the paths of what has been opened because (imho) it will never be fixed correctly (due to the many menu pla...

Hi goofyto8, Yes it should be possible. First go to : Tools => Preferences => Show Settings (all) => Video Then you'll have to UNcheck "Show Media title on video" The following pic will show you where it is checked in my preferences, just do the opposite (uncheck) and Save your Preferences...

Hi everybody, May I join this topic to share a very similar issue, thank you Saad (who initiated this topic) A friend of mine records video from satellite, but he can't play them in Vlc (they play fine in MPC home cinema) Here are descriptive pics : http://i43.tinypic.com/vynnkw.jpg http://i44.tinyp...

Hi Panta,
When it happens to me, I just lower volume then immediately Save Preferences and everything works fine during future Vlc sessions. Maybe it will work for you ?
PS: my Vlc version is 1.1.11

Hi everybody, What a great topic, I didn't know anything about "lua" extensions ! Many thanks to Arite in his 1st post, as he indicated a valid link to Imdb.lua, so I downloaded it and added it to Vlc. Zap250, I guess you'd like to add it too. Here are 4 descriptive pics showing where to p...

Hi bay23sydney Tools => Preferences => Video, then choose the jpg format : http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1696/jpgformat.jpg If you also want to modify the directory snapshot, choosing a more convenient one, you can do it too as seen in the pic. Don't forget to save your preferences then quit Vl...

Hi all, I guess svr32 opens his media with double click (please confirm when you read this) Because if you drag & drop, or if you open from Vlc menu (Media => Open File...) then it automatically adds the entry in the "Recent Media" line shown in his pic (I just tested all this) So it's...

You're welcome...a ton

Hi mildaz, You could also try this workaround : add a black background to your english subtitles, they should hide most of the french burned-in subtitles, as shown in the 2 following pics Good luck :D http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/8656/preferences.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/267/subles...

Hi c627627, I don't know if they'll release an immediate patched version, due to this bug that didn't exist at all in precedent versions. Until they fix it in the next stable version, I guess the only workaround is to right click the Video_ts folder directly from Windows Explorer, then choose "...

1. I confirm (same message error appears, always related to my DVD device letter H: , no matter I indicate a Video_ts folder on any partition of the hard drive) The message error is : "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://H:\'. Check the log for details." Not on...

Hi zzzk,
Here is a pic to show you what you should uncheck in Vlc preferences, so you'll get multiple instances :

Good luck

cienega : that depends about your AV setup in your living room. If you have some nice player connected to your TV (like Boxee), it might play the video directly from USB memory stick. If you have just regular DVD player, you must create DVD Video disc from the AVI. @ cienega Vlc_help implicitly ask...

Hi vidjim, If you record today a part of a movie named "Dark Star.avi", at 18h32m38s, the file name will show exactly this : vlc-record-2011-05-31-18h32m38s-Dark Star.avi-.avi So a search on "vlc-record-2011-" should be enough to find anything you'll record during 2011 Now the lo...

Wow "awesome post", we're honored j-b !
Not sure they'd compare "Burned-in subtitles" to "Hot iron cow branding" on wiki
You'll read this on Vlc Forums only lol

Hi guys, May I resume your words, concerning subtitles. So it appears there are 3 different kind of subtitles : 1) Burned-in subtitles (or "hard subs") Which can be compared to "hot iron cow branding" Now that they're burned in the image, there is no way to make them disappear pr...

Hi procadman,
VLC_help meant Tools -> Preferences in VLC menu, not in Windows Explorer.

In case VLC_help's advice doesn't solve your problem, try the complete solution found in the following topic :
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=89837

The real name in Vlc menu is :
View => Advanced Controls
When this menu option is ticked, it will toggle on 4 buttons related to loop / record

Bravo Roddude, Thanks for having shared with us the fool-proof way you used. I was sure you'd make it because you didn't give up when facing difficulties. Unfortunately, I won't be a big help soon and will have to close my Vlc Forum account. Because it's getting very hard for me to login to Vlc Foru...
