It might be so. How do I deal with this incription, if I can?

An MTS video files has arrived on my PC which I am unable to play or convert with any of my installed apps, including VLC. From what I have read from searching online it is not as obscure as I suspected, but is quite widely used. How do I get it to play and /or convert it to other formats such as MP...

I have not seen anything yet which deals with SCANNING being greyed out and not available

VLC is not casting via Chromecast. I have followed the instructions online but after Renderer am unable to get it to SCAN as scanning is greyed out and does not respond.

I have the current version, on Windows !0 64 Bit with April update. Other media players cast OK.

VLC has taken over my Zip files. In Explorer they were shown as VLC files, and when clicked VLC opened, plus when I download a Zip such as a new program VLC opened and tried to play it. It prevented my Zip opening apps from working. I achieved a small improvement by replacing the VLC icon with anoth...

I at present have a lot of video players on my Windows 10 PC, about a dozen of them, including VLC for Windows and Media Codecs Pack. None of them will play most of my videos. The problem formats are (I know they are connected): mp4, mpeg, vob. Also avi is unpopular. WindowsMediaPlayeris supposed to...

VLC for Store still crashing --- before I have a chance to send a bug report --- and clicking app commands does not work.

i see from browsing around that the problems I am having are common ---- I am surprised.

I have some real problems with VLC and now can hardly use it. Somehow I have acquired two versions on my Windows 10 computer, one called VLC for Windows Store, and one called VLC Media Player. The first I like but it now will not run, the second I am not keen on, it does not seem possible to get out...

On a DVD-RW mini disc I have an MPEG-4 video created (some years ago) by a Panasonic DVD Camcorder. It will not play in VLC (up-to-date)) or other media players on my Windows 8.1 Tablet. In Explorer shows as a CDA file or DVD_RTAV. It also shows as an audio file only ---- is that just the soundtrack...

Does anyone have experience with the Windows Store app VA Remote and Chromecast? I am begining to get the hang of VA Remote, I can play music and Cast photos to the TV. But I have had no success with videos. Nothing I have will play (unlike RealPlayer / Real Time which has played everything I have t...

Sorry, what do you mean by 'that' ----- do you mean you cannot make Portable VLC the default? I also have Windows Store VLC ---- can that be the default?

Does anyone have any experience with Chromcast (or similar devices) in Windows 8.1?

I too want to know how I make VLC the default in Windows 8.1. I do not understand the answer 'Install with the .exe installer' ---- How?? can you give a bit more detail and comment on the fact that I have VLC Portable, installed on a SD Card, not on the HDD. Does that affect your answer? Also I need...

How do I make VLC my default player in W8.1? In the default programs menu VLC is not listed so I cannot select it. I get WMP popping up instead, and as often as not it cannot play the video I am trying to look at. I understand VLC is widely considered to be the best media but suggestions re alternat...

I have examined all my discs now. I have found .rtav (and .vro) files on a few of them, not many. They play. Most just have the files listed above, although some dont have Movie.vro yet still play. There are a few with .mpeg which also play. None of them really play well,they are poor quality ---- I...

Correction: the three files have a _ not a .

Due to illness I have not used my computer, camcorder, etc. for a number of years and have largely forgotten much of what I once knew. I am now trying to lookthrough my 'archive' of CDs/DVDs to see what I recorded years ago. So far I have been unable to get what I believe to be VLC media files to pl...

OK, thanks. It seems a rather long-winded process!

How do I stop VL from automatically opening every video I download? I only want it to play the files I ask it to open.
