In MKVToolNix the parameters Video crop left/top/right/bottom can be set in the Matroska header. In version 2.1.x VLC would respect these settings during playback. In version 2.2.x VLC the video is played back without any cropping. Is this a regression or am I missing any setting in VLC? I use VLC o...

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about buying a new HTPC and one of the possible configurations is an AMD Fusion E-350. Since I want to install Linux (OpenSUSE 11.4) on the machine I was wondering if hardware acceleration is working, preferebly more or less out of the box. I was looking for alternatives...

I installed the new rpm of vlc-1.2.0 and now I can activate "GPU acceleration". Unfortunately, when opening a h264 video I get the following error message: libva: libva version 0.31.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". libva: va_getDriverName() ret...

Do there exist any precompiled packages (rpm for OpenSUSE, preferably) for VLC 1.1 with hardware acceleration (VDPAU/VAAPI)? I tried the 1.1.rc and 1.2-preview packages from the VideoLAN repository but hw acceleration doesn't seem to be enabled.

Is it possible to configure VLC / ALSA / Pulseaudio / whatever in a way that a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is directly passed through to the receiver? Right now my receiver only gets a analog signal, althou...

Do you mean Video/Zoom in the context menu? Nothing happens when I click the different zoom factors (1:4, 1:2, 1:1 or 1:2) if "Resize to native size" is disabled. There is an option named "Scale" under "Video" in the menu and the context menu. What is it for? Nothing se...

If I disable "Resize interface to native video size" (in the preferences under Interface/Main interfaces/QT) zoom ist not working anymore. Whatever size I choose (quarter, half, original, double) - nothing happens. I would like to set the video to it's original size, but I want to do that ...
