Ah, I see. Thanks for that, Lotesdelere!

I couldn't see how it might be anything I was doing ...

Yes I understand, Lotesdelere. But as I said, they play (and FF/step forward) in PowerDVD, which itself gobbles up considerably more resources than VLC does.

Thanks for your suggestions, Lotesdelere. I'm observing behaviour the OP's description seems to fit on Windows 7 x64 in VLC 2.2.4, with an nVidia GeForce GT 740 2 GB and the latest vendor display drivers. I use only the standard driver, without all the games-related utilities installed. Changing the...

Sorry to bump this, but I suspect once a post gets too far down the list, it's going to keep getting missed.

Does anyone have any ideas, please, on how to make sense of this issue?

Many thanks.

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can clear up some confusion I have with screencaps made in VLC from Blu-rays. I'm running VLC 2.2.4 on Windows 7 x64, using a Samsung LED display stated as 1920 x 1080. I have no issues running Blu-rays and capturing screen images. Typically, I open VLC to fullscreen, th...

On Windows 7 x64, I get this error from VLC every time I close it after playing any kind of video. VLC seems to work OK (touch wood!), but it craps out every time I close it. It doesn't seem to leave any processes running, so there's no problem in opening it again, but I figure it indicates some kin...

Is there an updated AACS library available? I haven't had the AACS error up until now, but have just tried to play a new BD (the Region B release of Sherlock, Series Three) and VLC 2.1.5 fails, saying it needs a codec. I've done what has been discussed on this page -- going to http://vlc-bluray.whok...

Thanks for that, but it doesn't really help. If, as you seem to be implying, it's something to do with my system or configuration, how do I try to resolve it? For starters, the info on the VLC plugin doesn't include QuickTime in the MIME types that plugin version 2.1.3 supports. As far as i can see,...

This may be a Firefox issue — I'm not sure where to start — but I'm having trouble streaming embedded Quicktime files through the VLC plug-in, so any help would be appreciated. An example is this site: http://www.hosokinema.com/atthedeathhousedoor.html The site is asking me to install a plug-in, whi...

mederi, thanks very much for the detailed response. Really appreciated!


(As it turns out, I just came here to say I'd found it for myself, and leave a similar post for other enquirers. I don't seem to get notification of replies any more from the VLC forums. Is something broken, maybe?)

A very old post, I recognise, but this may answer a question of mine as well.

Can anyone help me understand what VLC_help was referring to be "Scaletempo audio filter" please? I haven't found any info on it. (Apologies if I'm being a bit slow! )

On my Win7 x64 system, if VLC is already open it won't respond to commands to open a new file. If I hit Enter in Explorer on a file of a type registered with VLC, or right-click on the file and choose VLC through the "Open with ..." command, VLC doesn't respond. If I close the existing ses...

Sorry to hear that, 2k2k. My installation (and uninstallation, for that matter) was quite fast, but I don't have Symantec myself (I tried it for a while and it seemed quite good, but more recent versions have started getting piggish again, so I backed away). In any case, I always check the executabl...

A new problem with 2.02 that didn't exist for me with previous versions: If I play a video file with VLC, then when it finishes I right-click another file and choose "Play with ... VLC", there's no response from VLC. The file isn't opened or played. If I close the VLC window, then repeat t...

Hi all, I have done a clean install of VLC 2.0 on Windows 7, and am generally very impressed. I like the way it handles subtitles as a whole, but it does seem to have a problem with any characters with simple diacritics -- for instance, the last letter in verité -- which show up as question marks. I...

Seems not. The playlist stays blank.

But as I said, if I close VLC down and then go through these steps, then it opens up and plays fine.

Could this perhaps be addressed in an Announcement or some sort of sticky post? I'm not familiar with the business of certificates, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. So - no criticism intended - but simply being pointed to the cacert.org website doesn't resolve this for me. Why, for instance, does...

Oops, sorry ... I meant "Open with ... | VLC media player".

Thanks for the response.

With the latest update of of VLC, there are problems loading files into the existing session of VLC. I have VLC 1.1.11 installed on a fully-patched Win7 x64 system. I allowed a standard installation, but have since modified the Preferences by two changes on the "Interface" page: I deselect...

OK VLC_help, I really appreciate your responses. Thank you!

(And thanks for the link re the mouse issue too.)

Thanks for the reply :-) Yes, this is what it generates: main debug: auto hidding mouse main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'resize' 1920x956 window main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'mouse button' 0 t=8 main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'mouse button' 0 t=9 main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'double click' qt4 debug: Qt4...

Hi all, Since I couldn't find any threads on this, I gather it's not a common problem, so I'd appreciate any suggestions to help me resolve this. I'm running VLC 1.1.10 ("The Luggage") on a fully-patched Windows 7 64-bit. I normally keep the app windowed in one quarter of my screen, and in...

Thanks for the reply, but I still don't know what you mean. In the sense that, I don't know what certificates are, and I don't understand why this is happening now and hasn't happened before. Has something expired? I'm following a link from the forums themselves, notifying me of an update in a threa...

Install cacert.org certificate

I'm sorry, I don't know what that means.

Why is this suddenly happening?
And why is it only happening on links to watched threads, not when I come here manually?

Suddenly tonight, my browser (Firefox 3.6.15) is reporting the forums as having an expired security certificate and doesn't want me to connect. I get the same result in IE 8 on Windows 7. This is in response to a link in an e.mail telling me of an update to a forum thread I'm subscribed to. If I com...
