I'll add my vote to being happy the new version of VLC *doesn't* open .txt files automatically. I'm sure the change was in response to a lot of requests, so I'm doubtful of the validity of claims that those who save subtitles as .txt files are in the majority. In my case, I keep info files in .txt f...

Hi VLC_Help, No, I'm using 1.1.4, because of the audio stuttering bug in 1.1.5. I'm not using discs that have been converted from NTSC->PAL; I have either PAL-coded discs from R4 and R2, or NTSC-coded discs from R1. Anyway, it was just a thought. I think it would be a useful feature. The speed shift...

Thank you very much, j-b. Now I understand. I'm not a dummy, but I;m also not a coder, and I didn't appreciate what you were meaning by reference to the "GUI" (especially after the conversation up to that point was about settings in the Preferences). A few points to note, if I may: 1) This...

Sorry, but WHERE??!!!!! Isn't it obvious fro my posts that I can't find any such thing??! I appreciate the answers, really, but to be blunt, cryptic half-answers that don't actually address my question really don't help much at all. so you're wasting your time as well as mine (and anyone else's who ...

j_b, VLC_Help, thanks for your responses. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, but clearly I don't know what you're referring to, so making general and inspecific responses isn't helping anyone. Yes, there's an "Enable time-stretching" option under preferences -- I'd already found t...

Technologicat, Lotesdelere, thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, I don't run Ubuntu. I'm running Win XP. And I don't have any DVD-ripping software. I could try to search some out, at least as a trial. In the meantime, I'm assuming it's something in the way Disney DVDs are authored. I don't have m...

I don't know what you mean. I can't see anywhere to specify the speed. It's either on or off, and that's it.

Thanks, but how do you specify for it to adjust by a certain amount? If I have a DVD encoded in PAL but I want it to play the audio at correct pitch, how do I specify that? I'd looked in the Knowledgebase Wiki before I posted here, but as far as I can see this feature isn't documented or even mentio...

Really? Thanks for the reply, but I really can't find the setting for this. Any hints, please?

(BTW, I'm using VLC 1.1.4.)

No, I can't find any option either, which is why I asked. Does that mean the feature was implemented, but was then removed?

Enquiring minds want to know!!

OK, am I doing something wrong in my posts? Why can I not get a response?

Hmmm. Has no-one got any thoughts on this matter? Please?

Same happening on my system, again with every file I've tried (range of codecs and sources). Same files work fine in Win Media Player and Nero Showtime, with no audible stuttering at all. But I've had 1.1.5 for a while, and not experienced this stuttering before today. It's been working fine, so it'...

I'm running VLC 1.1.5 on WinXP (+SP3) with 2 GB of RAM. I'm finding on some DVDs (for instance, Disney ones) the player skips a few seconds at the end of every chapter, which makes the film difficult to watch. It happens on some other titles -- far from all, but enough to be puzzling -- but the Disn...

Hi eSPee, I think the problem may be generated somehow in the automatic update process. For several versions now, every time it's auto-updated this problem has arisen. VLC_Help may be right in what he/she has posted above, but I found the only way to fix this was to uninstall (including the customis...

VLC_help, I'm not experiencing long opening times - the files aren't opening at all.

Since I posted here, the 1.1.4 update has come through. It hasn't resolved the problem.

This seems true in a lot of apps, unfortunately. For instance, in Thunderbird, an attachment that has an "extended" character in its filename loses track of its filetype and shows up as gibberish at the recipient's end. I do a lot of score notation with Sibelius, and a lot of its functions...

Sheesh.

Mods, Admins, whoever ... a comment in this thread might have been nice, even if it was just to say "We have no idea".

Thanks for confirming I'm not alone in this at least, Icicle. I'm sorry to hear you're having a similar experience. But I'm very surprised no-one else has responded, or apparently lodged similar questions in the forum. If it's not the behaviour most people are observing, I'd love some help in findin...

Hi all, I'm wondering if I'm the only one with this problem? Since I allowed the update to VLC 1.1.3 (running on Windows XP), I find that the app no longer responds to double-clicking on a registered file type when it's already open. If VLC is already running (but not actively playing anything), and...

Arite, Thanks very much for your reply to anci. I came here intending to ask help for a problem I've been having with VLC 1.03 (horizontal motion smears in the display, making it necessary to manually reset the deinterlace option every time I launch a new file or disc) and decided first to try your ...

Sometimes VLC wants to repair an AVI file before playing it. I allow it to do so, and it's usually pretty quick, and then all plays OK. But each time I want to load that same .AVI, VLC needs to go through the repair routine again. I've tried manually opening the file in VLC, allowing it to repair, a...

I much prefer PAL-formatted DVDs to NTSC ones (can't stand the shudder in pans and tracks), but the raising of the audio pitch caused by the 4% speed-up drives me nuts as well. WinDVD has a feature that supposedly corrects the audio pitch in real time as the disc plays. Unfortunately, it simply does...

OK, maybe I'm just showing how much I don't know, but I thought paired .bin and .cue files were specific to burning a CD or DVD, rather than playable media files. The .bin is the compressed binary file, and the .cue contains the necessary info on how the data is to be broken up and apportioned into ...

I'm using VLC 1.01. If I pause a file (say, a DVD) part-way through, and close VLC, is there any way to have it resume play at the same point the next time I run that media file? I tried creating a bookmark, but unless I did it wrong, it achieved nothing at all. I tried to open the bookmark, but the...
