I said a recent snapshot. Support for vc was added after 0.8.1

known bug, fixed in development version.

taking a peek at the current sources it seems like vlc should be able to handle that codec. Perhaps your vlc version is old, or this feature is very new. Try a nightly build from http://www.videolan.org/~videolan If this doesn't work, the problem could be the demuxer. Then tell us the extension of t...

0.7.1 is a hundred years old. try a recent snapshot rather

vlc works out of the box for wince as of the latter development versions. Most of the demux code do not depend on third party libraries. Most of the libraries that are used for demuxing also do compile for wince. One notable exception is ffmpeg, but ffmpeg is mostly used for codec stuff, and not dem...

I'm nearly 100% sure I answered this in the mailing list a few days ago

no

I guess it means that the file is only partial, and lacking it's end. sort of like the wmv parser say to the file reader: Give me the bytes at possition N. But the file is acctually shorter than N.

I think the way mp4 is handled have changed since 0.8.1. Basically the problem is that vlc's mp4 reader does lots of seeks. With files this is ok. With http this is done by closing the connection and opening a new one with a request for the wanted position. problem is that creating a new connection ...

It's caused by vlc's mp4 handling being a bit stupid, combined with the server not being a giant sunfire.

For my denon, and my cheap ass soundcard, it is possible to work around this by slightly speeding up playback. This causes a small pitch-up, but works otherwise. I have no plan to implement that workaround in vlc though. Also, I suspect there are one or more bugs somewhere in how vlc handles dts ove...

open the audio cd with the gui. file->Open->disc select audio cd and the drive letter. Do not try to open the cda file.

vlc supports nearly all .mov files on osx and nearly all .wmv files on windows. It also support many mov and wmv files on other platforms as well, but makes no claim to support everything.

Vlc supports nearly nothing with "real" in it's name.

vlc does support .wav files, and audio cd, but not .cda files (whatever that might be) unless they infact are just camoflaged files of some other format vlc does support. If your vlc behaves strangely, then try to reset your preferences in the preferences dialog.

Is there something malformed in my command? Yes. To read from stdin you must specify "-" as playlist item. also all the transcode stuff is supposed to be the argument to the --sout switch. Third you need to disable the rc interface, since it reads from stdin by default. Basically now you ...

It's more likely you are the only one to ever try such a file. Either that, or everyone else trying them realized that the format isn't in the supported files list.

at least in mozilla it is the "type" field of the embed tag that is used to select plugin. In most cases the mozilla plugin for vlc will work as a drop-in replacement for wmp. I have personally used numerous pages designed for wmp with only the vlc mozilla plugin and no change to the page

there are thirdparty linux kernel modules to create loopback v4l devices. VLC however has no implemented support for this. Addinging shouldn't be very hard though.

It depend on the audio output you use, and the audio card. if you use OSS the simple answer is No. If you use alsa the answer is yes, if your soundcard supports several inputs. I think alsa can be configured to do mixiing in software as well, but I'm not sure how. You can also play two movies in one...

It should certainly be possible, but it isn't implemented in vlc yet. I'd recommend looking at the peercast protocol if you look to implement such features.

knowone knows, bucause there is no such source available to the general public

the alignment thingy has been implemented since 0.8.1 was released. To test it, download a nightly build from download.videolan.org/~videolan To fullscreen both part on the two separate displays you need to manually move each part to the right display before fullscreening it. At least this works on ...

if the desired module is compiled as a plugin this can be done my something like this: cd modules/control&&make librc_plugin.so; cd ../.. if the desired module is a builtin you need something like this: cd modules/control&&make librc_plugin.a; cd ../.. && make vlc also for pl...

this last feature has been implemented since 0.8.1 was released. There are still no support for distributing the parts automatically though

You've created a very good and detailed report, but you missed one vital thing, namly the vlc version used. There is a known bug with vlc reading compressed contents with the dshow module in vlc 0.8.1, if that's the version you are using your workaround is kind of ammusing. You should try one of the...
