Hello knife, * Open Vlc (double clic on its icon) * Menu Media => Advanced Open File => File (tab) Then you open separately the movie and the .txt subtitle, that's it. I tested it and it worked fine :) j-b is thinking about an easier solution, as he explained at the end of the following topic : http...

juliosbis, it's already answered here :
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=87028#p288733

Hope it will work for you.

Hi all, Well...I never have problems with subtitles because all subtitles I got are ".srt" files The question I would like to ask is : what do you see when you open your ".txt" subtitles files with Notepad ? If you find something like this in your ".txt" subtitle file :...

Hi juliosbis,
Could the following link help you to bypass the 15 selected files and choose an unlimited number of files ?

I like their sentence : "A value of 16 is interpreted as "unlimited"
And it applies to Windows 7 only

Here are 2 pics confirming that Utorrent "forces" the cursor to constantly appear in Vlc (and it's not only a "full screen" issue as the following tests have been done in windowed Vlc) : http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/102/utorrentbehind.jpg http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/...

Hi Zendal, It would be great if we got an answer from Vlc staff. Same as you, I never was able to install correctly 2 different VLC's (for example the latest 1.1.7 + the old 0.8.6i which is so light, opens quickly and is a great help when you play .avi files, especially if your PC is a bit old) Thou...

Thx j-b, so that was the reason...

In case Vlc_help, j-b or any Vlc staff reads this, do you please have an opinion on what follows : 1) Why are these 4 Advanced controls hidden by default, instead of being constantly visible ? 2) These 4 advanced controls are very badly placed in the interface : instead of being placed lower, on the...

Hello warakawa, I hope the following pic will show you how to do it : View => Advanced Controls Then have a look at the blue circled button under the movie : * click on it for indicating where the loop starts (point A) * click on it for indicating where the loop ends (point B) * click on Play and he...

Vlc_help, thanks for your input. I still confirm it doesn't work and I'll explain why : * I uninstalled Vlc (selecting "delete preferences and cache") => the folder %appdata%\vlc disappeared during unistallation * Reinstalled Vlc (selecting again "delete preferences and cache" .....

Thanks dumbo4711 for your answer. I found the ini file here: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Application Data\vlc\vlc-qt-interface.ini I could edit it (it's not protected) and changed : filedialog-path=I:\\Videos to filedialog-path=D:\\movie1\\Video_ts But the problem remains, except that n...

Hi all, I would like Vlc to remember the last folder I opened, but it always forgets. Here is the procedure that never works for me : * (my OS is Windows XP SP2) * Double click on Vlc icon 1.1.5 * Media => Open Folder : it always propose I:\Videos :( * Browse through the folder structure and go to, ...

Thx for your answer VLC_help
Btw you're very helpful in this forum, replying clearly to so many posts, I just wanted to point it out.

Using VLC, when I record (export) a part of an avi file with the red button, the exported file never starts at the position I wanted to :( This comes (probably) from the fact that Vlc starts the recording after it found the NEXT key frame. Here is an example : imagine an avi file having key frames p...

@VLC_help : thx a lot for the output path explanation, it works fine now.

Hi all, Shame on me..I never noticed this "record" possibility (probably because the "Advanced controls" were not selected in the "View" menu, so the "record" red button wasn't visible) I just tried it but couldnt find out where the recorded part was saved (pa...

Hi hell_storm2004, You even can use Shift+ left/right, in case you want shorter jumps (3s) compared to Alt+ (10s) or Ctrl+ (1min) as shown in the next pic : http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8757/vlcjumps.jpg Also we see in the pic a great feature : the "e" key displays next frame (when y...

Hi Tomorrow
I did the test you indicated with Vlc 1.1.5 (under Windows XP), but it closes quickly, even after I set the output module to OpenGL, save settings, quit Vlc (+++), launch Vlc again, open a video, close it etc...

Thx VLC_help

Lucky here, both (ctrl-q and x) close same and very quickly on my old PC Maybe JB will tell us one day how this nasty bug was solved, if it's not too complicated for us to understand ? Sometimes bugs just drive you nuts and when you find the solution, you think "how is it I didn't think about t...

Oh yessssssss "X" closes fine in 1.1.5 release
Thanks Achim and JB

Hi Wosco, I'm running Windows XP SP2 and I nearly got the same problem as you : a huge vertical yellow stripe in the middle of the screen, but it happens with some mp4. Yesterday I solved this issue by changing a preference, as you will see in the following pic : http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4...

Hi secathom, As this topic was bumped, I would like to add some comments (nothing personal with you) What makes me a bit sad is this : Why can't XP users (like me and millions else) use the last "stable" VLC release, without that very annoying "X closing" bug, without any securit...

Here is the last Windows nightly build of 1.0.6. It is the one that I'm using:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 0329-0202/

Thx a lot, I'm gonna use it too.

Here is how I "solved" the problem for weeks now, because i couldn't stand it anymore : I decided to go back to version 1.0.5 and deleted all 1.1.x versions. Indeed 1.0.5 works, but there were some serious security issues if I remember it correctly. That's why these version are no solutio...
