well good to know it's fixed it 0.9.9.

much easier to DL than tweak settings.

0.9.9 will fix this... How many times do I have to repeat it?

Probably more than you would like.

VLC 0.9.8a was my first foray with VLC (late comer) and I was able to get it to do what I want so I never needed to DL the "older" version.

It's an older Parallel Pioneer DVD burner. I'll see if I can get a new(er) driver or some other fix.
Thanks for the reply.

I have posted a fix that works for me in other posts:

I have 0.9.8a and use two monitors (LCD & CRT TV) follow my last posting - the one with 7 steps and a picture.

Good luck

I'm okay with using the OPEN FILE selection but was wondering if anyone else has VLC 0.9.8a freeze when using the ADVANCED OPEN FILE or OPEN DISC selection?

I did a "test" encode in Handbrake with H264 video and 5.1 AC3 audio with an .avi extension and it worked perfectly in stereo. I changed the .m4v extension on one of the faulty files to .mp4 but the audio was just as before, outta whack. So it must be a bug in Handbrake and no fault of VLC...

Thnx everyone, From monitor Nr1 fullscreen jumps to monitor Nr2 and it's not possible to move it to monitor Nr1. I totally forgot to add one of the steps (#3) Sorry about that! 1. In preferences select "all" on the lower left hand side. 2. Expand the "Video" settings on the left...

I couldn't get VLC 0.9.8a to full screen on my CRT TV (monitor 2) until I did this: 1.In preferences select "all" on the lower left hand side. 2.Expand the "Video" settings on the left hand side (click on the "+" box next to "Video") 3.Expand the "Output ...

I'll try .mp4 as a container. I could just change the file extension of the preexisting .m4v files but I'll do a new encoding with x264 and AC3 using .mp4 and see if that rectifies the problem.

Thanks

I couldn't get VLC 0.9.8a to full screen on my CRT TV (monitor 2) until I found this info: http://jbopensrc.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/quickfix-vlc-fullscreen-dual-monitor-wrong-monitor/ It relates to a previous version but I figured out how to get VLC 0.9.8a to do what I wanted by reading that "...

There must be a bug in Handbrake when using the x264 encoder and AC3 "pass through" because I did some test encodes using XviD encoded video with AC3 audio and x264 encoded video with AAC "6 channel discrete" audio. Both worked perfectly when played in stereo. So there is a "...

Hello, I have recently been encoding my DVDrips with Handbrake 0.9.3 using the x264 encoder with AC3 audio into .m4v files. I have my computers audio set to "desktop stereo speakers" (going to get a 5.1 speaker system when cash allows) within "Advanced Audio Properties" and VLC (...
