Re: VLC plays DVD too fast

Thanks, but deleting my "vlc" prefs folder is the first thing I tried, which I meant to make clear in my post. Even a fresh new install of VLC has the problem.

VLC plays DVD too fast

This is with current VLC 2.2.1 on Win 7 32-bit, fresh install (no preferences changed), set to play at "1.00x". I have a standard DVD folder named VIDEO_TS containing the .IFO, .VOB, and .BUP files of a video. If I burn this to a DVD disk and play that disk in a desktop machine, it works f...

Re: How to get file name in title bar (w/o ascii)

Thank you... puting "$" alone in the field for "Change title according to current media" gives me what I want - a plain stmt of the filename.

Curious... is this explained anywhere? I didn't find it in Help or FAQ.

Thx again

How to get file name in title bar (w/o ascii)

I'm running Windows 7 with VLC 2.2.1. I want the titlebar to just show the filename of the track I'm watching eg. "Family Video 26.avi". In Preferences | Inputs/Codecs | "Change title according to current media" I entered "$F", replacing the default value of $Z which ca...

I donated - so make VLC for Win Phone 8 for me

Actually, I donated because VLC is and has been terrific. But I do want to vote for pursuing the WP8 version.

MKV H264 1080p file crashes VLC 1.05

The short 1080p MKV for which an NZB is provided below crashes VLC 1.05 (and 1.01) when the dragbar is used to go near the end of the clip. This is on Windows XP Pro with latest updates, 4GB RAM, and a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 512MB and the latest Catalyst drivers. The full video of which t...

Re: VLC crashes when I take a snapshot!!

It was crashing for me too, when I try to take a snapshot of a 1080p frame. I tried changing the "Video Display" setting from "Default" to "Direct X" and "Windows GDI". Neither one of them fixed the problem. Finally (in the same dialog) I turned off "Acce...

Re: A SIMPLE repeat function, PLEASE

Yes, I did see your post vlc_fan-01, and thanks. I realize after some thought that maybe all the devs and most users utilize playlists. But it's been years since I had the time for those. All I can do now is keep my media in folders, which often get moved around as the collections grow. Maintaining ...

Re: A SIMPLE repeat function, PLEASE

Open your eyes, and see at the bottom of the playlist. When I searched the forum before posting my request, I saw that someone else had asked the same thing and was told "Open your eyes". Although equally snotty, your reply this time at least contains the answer, such as it is. The user s...

Re: SIMPLE speed control buttons PLEASE

Thanks! I thought those were "Jump to Beginning" and "Jump to End", because of their position. It was hard to believe that VLC didn't have such controls, but I'm too used to assuming the worst. It would still be nice to have a "resume normal speed" function in there som...

SIMPLE speed control buttons PLEASE

PLEASE give us some basic "speed up" and "slow down" and ESPECIALLY "return to normal speed" buttons. Trying to do this via hot-keys is much harder since you have to remember the settings, and it takes constant attention to return to normal speed. Why are there "sk...

A SIMPLE repeat function, PLEASE

A forum search finds that this has been requested before, and there's some indication that it exists. But I can't find it. The only "repeat" I see is the A-B Loop, which: 1) Is much harder to use than a simple Repeat button, if all I want to do is replay the whole file over and over. 2) Do...
