Thanks! Now it works.

Don't know why they need three / but now I was able to solve also the 1:3-Problem: Use the VLC-GUI to see which Title and Chapter you need (e.g. Title 4, Chapter 3 = 4:3), since the main movie is not always Title 1.

Hello

There exists But I'm not able to start e.g. chapter 3 from "D:\Folders\Test-DVD"

What is the correct syntax?

Thanks!
Bruno

(btw: The 30'-problem has been fixed with some later Win8-Updates.)

Sure you have no "hacks" on your side, like disabling UAC or similar?

Because of the VLC 2.0.0 sleep/standby issue I checked also VLC 1.0.3 and 1.1.4. Both will sleep without admin rights, so this is really a Win8-Issue, not VLC 2.x The need to start VLC with admin rights creates additional trouble: - to start VLC from Excel-VBA, Excel has to run with admin rights too...

Solution : Start VLC with administrator rights. Reproduce : Set the energy settings to "screen off after 1 minute", "pc sleep after 2 minutes". Without administrator rights your screen will never go off, but your PC will sleep after 2-3 minutes. It seems that Win8 demands admini...

No. Weird is also, that it goes instantly to sleep...

No one else experiencing something similar?

Hello Changing to Windows 8 I experience a new problem: After perhaps 30 Minutes the PC goes to sleep, even VLC plays a movie and the screen newer turned off. My energy settings: Screen off after 2 minutes, sleep after 10 minutes. On Windows Vista I experienced no trouble with the same settings... A...

Same here, the bookmarks hotkeys are without effect... Do they work somewhere?

Thanks again! I will see if this setting (Nvidia > 3D) does the job.

Thanks for the hint! Changing to DirectX solves this issue.

But then I have some V-Sync trouble again. Is there a way to force V-Sync with DirectX?

Here a cut of 5s: nogui.mkv...

But now I see, this is not only with 2.0.x, but also 1.1.4 (not with v1.0.5)...

Thanks for having a look!

Hello Since 2.0.0 I have a new problem: With some files the Full Screen GUI is not available. Means: It appears for 1/10 second and then disappears even if I move the mouse... I can drag and drop file B in the player and everything works fine. Drag and drop file A again (or double click) and the GUI...

The best I found: 3D LR Wunschlisten-thread JMencodes - BoerseBZ The Thread is German, but almost all encodes are German/English. JMencodes collects almost everything and uploads it as SBS and L/R. You need a netload account for the older uploads, the never ones are also on share-online. (Never test...

The best solution I found: Use left/right-Encodes! They are much better than half-SBS, since the downsize-algorithm loses much more than the half!

Hi Is there a way to play a movie and jump to different chapters or bookmarks without e.g. muxxing a chapter file into a matroska container? This works nice for subtitle files, but I did not found a similar solution for chapters... Thanks! Bruno Btw: A playlist with bookmarks almost does to job, but...

Thanks for your command line parameters. Is there a way to get correct aspect ratio instead of the simply 16:9? The solution I found works only with VLC 1.0.5: --monitor-par=1000:1414 --vout-filter crop --crop-geometry 960 x9999+0+0 Use 960 for FullHD and change it for other Solutions. Regards, Bruno

Hello

Is there really no command to set the Audio Delay e.g. to 600ms? I found only e.g. --sout-transcode-audio-sync but nothing to set the "audio delay" to a specific value.

Thanks!
Bruno

Some settings take place after Stop/Play, some after program restart.

With srt everything works on my side...

Same here... But I did not found a player which can do this or a sub-merger ...

Does anyone know more?

Thanks!
Bruno

... googled deeper and understand now, that some subs are encrypted or let's say only image-saved. So you have to use a sub-ripper like SubRip to create subs VLC can handle... there's no way around this since you will have to help the ripper with his OCR ...

Same here... tested everything. I can change the OSD rendering, but not the subtitles - in some video-types. As much as I understand these affects videos with plenty of subtitle languages (chinese, russian, ...) and therefore includes information about how to render the subtitle in the file... no wa...

I see... so it depends from the video output (DirectX, OpenGL, ...) and the installed drivers...

Thanks!

Hello There are a couple of algorithms. If you batch convert some photos with XnView you will realize, that only Lanczos does a really sharp job. Gauss/Hermite/Bi-linear/Square etc. will lose sharpness. Question: Which algorithm do you use for resize? E.g. when I watch a 1920-Movie on a 800x600 TFT ...

Ngh... found a workaround: Use VLC 1.0.5 , there the filters still work... So the solution for viewing 3D-Side by side-sources: a) "vlc.exe" --vout-filter crop --crop-geometry 960x9999+0+0 --width=1920 --height=900 --aspect-ratio=1920:900 "F:\Video\Zeichentrick\Coraline.mkv3d" b)...
