OK, I'll bite. What is the correct way to set up VLC for a PVR-150 so that you don't have to enter everything into m3u? Also, what about integration with Zap2It or other program information services? Integration of a remote, perhaps through Girder? The gist of this question, as for other newbies lik...

Sorry for being dense, but I just can't find the timeshifting access filter. There are a number of other access filters under prefereneces, but not timeshifting. Do I need some kind of plug-in?

To fix the icon: Control Panel Folder Options select File Types tab select MP3 file type under "Details for MP3", hit Advanced button hit Change Icon button (upper right) hit Browse and hunt for an icon you like (c:/Program Files/VideoLan/vlc.exe) select OK more times than you thought poss...

File
Open Directory
navigate to VIDEO_TS directory, hit OK
movie plays

enjoy!

Here's another piece of the puzzle. Thanks to another user's post back in October, I tried adding the fps= parameter to the transcode string in the upper box in the GUI. I tried both fps=30 and fps=29.97. Both did put video in the output file but the aspect ratio was stretched from 16:9 to something...

If nobody has any suggestions as to how to set the output frame rate for MPEG-2 to the North American video rate of 29.97fps when the input XviD has the North American film frame rate of 23.97fps, then would somebody who has the appropriate permissions please report this as a bug? As far as I can te...

I have a similar error when transcoding a XviD input file in an .avi containter into a MPEG-2 output in a TS container file. The key point seems to be that the input frame rate is the NTSC film frame rate of ~24 fps and the desired output frame rate is the NTSC video rate of ~30 fps. VLC complains t...

I can verify your bug, Reven, with a XviD encoded input file with a frame rate of 24fps (NTSC film). I tried to transcode the video to MPEG-2 at 3Mbps with MPEG audio at 192Kbps in a MPEG_TS container and I get audio but no video in the output file. I did not specifically set the output frame rate a...

Not at all, it's a very good explanation. So when VLC transcodes for streaming, or for output to a file, is the frame rate conversion nothing more than sampling what the current frame is, even if it was the same as the last frame? I suppose it would have to be done that way, as interpolation between...

That last post was from me. I forgot to log in!

A standard video DVD just has a single directory called VIDEO_TS with everything in it. The video files are .vob and contain the audio stream. There can be multiple .vob files for the one video segment and multiple video segments in the same directory. There is also index files that most players lik...

This seems pretty serious for North American users. I have used VLC to play back video on my computer monitor, but this sounds like it is impossible to play it back at NTSC frame rates for my TV. Is this bug being worked on for future releases?
