The (still open) ticket to this problem is here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9514 (You may noticed it's categorized as 'new enhancement', but that's just an artifact that it had been open so long that the developers had to change it from 'bug-fix' to 'new enhancement'. But, bottom line is t...

I've been transcoding with VLC now for at least 4 years, and I too have tried and failed to find a way to get a variable-framerate input file to convert to a fixed-frame rate. [ I too use the cmd-line method in VLC to transcode. And I use the cmd-line pgm 'mediainfo' to look at any given video-conta...

Just FYI: Especially, to setting speeds / parameters on motherboard or to the video driver. When googling the symptom of flicker/jerky/flutter etc in video, a number of hits are mentioning that "hardware acceleration" property MIGHT be the cause. Note that enabling or disabling of this acc...

Because the developers (workers) are located in Cone, France. (As are Handbrake's.)

And an ice-cream cone would have implied they were always kicked back eating dessert, whereas a
traffic cone implies they are always doing some construction.

Ok, been trancoding from cmd-line for 3 or 4 years now with VLC (under Windows). Recently, I had need to try the same on a MacBook Pro (under latest OS X "Yosemite" release), but it won't start. :( The bash cmd-line I'm using has been reduced to its essence...it is :arrow: /Applications/VL...

You should complain to this *** guy.

Not sure I understand that part.
Who would "***" guy be?

'<swear word>" guy?

According the website shown below, DigiCoupon, (a malware)? is getting packaged in VLC. see: "http://www.fixyourbrowser.com/removal-instructions/remove-digicoupon-adware-virus/" At that site, is says: "This DigiCoupon adware is installed during a update or new install of the VLC Media...

Perhaps transcoding with canvas or croppadd video filter is what you want. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=112347 Yes, thanks, I too think 'canvas' should be able to do it. 8) [ I guess I just need to do some experiments with some small snippets, and figure out the details of exa...

Hmm...rather than what previous poster said (about quotes around sout arguments), I've been following other examples from posts here in the forum. e.g. do a forum search for #transcode and follow their example patterns for your cmd-line syntax. As you'll notice, those examples all do it by eliminati...

Ok, let's say I have a video file that is 720 x 480 and has a display aspect ratio of 4:3. EDITED: [Sorry, I had done an incorrect calc for actual aspect-ratio, so I've removed those statements.] But, it seems to be a quite common practice for some movie videos to be converted to wide-screen format,...

You're welcome, SarasotaSlim. Once you create a new bug report, please post the URL to the bug report on this thread so that others and I can track. Thank you.

This issue still has NOT been fixed (as of VLC version 2.1.3). It seems this issue is affecting only a relatively small # of users (like me) on some machines/displays. [My affected machine is my laptop...a Lenovo 'Thinkpad' series.] The REASON it has the problem is because the MAXIMUM resolution tha...

Using vfilter canvas tutorial
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 31#p381231

There's some nice discussion and examples there. Thanks, Mederi !!

No...I guess my question wasn't clear or precise enough. I'll try again: Ok, so what does stating a 'canvas' size accomplish? e.g. in the docs/help info, it shows a snippet: "transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}" [But, I already understand the syntax/layout rules. It...

I've been transcoding, using VLC for about a year, so I'm familiar with basic VLC cmd-line syntax, etc, for using 'sfilter' and for changing audio and video codecs, etc. But, I do NOT yet have familiarity with how to use VIDEO-filters, hence this posting. Let's say I want to properly stretch a (movi...

Thanks for all that info, vlcuser29! 8) [It's too bad that I had to learn where to file bugs from another user, rather than the folks who (attempt to) moderate/operate this forum :roll: , but I"m happy to get answers where ever I can. :o ] Ok, after having read the previous bug-reports relating...

No. Time expansion is strftime() syntax for current time. $-things are metadata expansions. Ok...so it's the metadata expansions that are broken now, in version 2.x of VLC. But, we are OFF-TOPIC again. I ask once more: :cry: Please explain where us VLC users go to REPORT A BUG! :?: :?: :?:

Hmm no? Only time expansion is documented and implemented in the marquee SPU source at the moment. See also https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Format_String/ I don't understand. You say 'only time expansion is documented and implemented...at the moment.' Wouldn't $T and $D (time and duration) ...

[Apologies in advance, if this duplicates/overlaps some similar earlier postings/discussions.] My signature summarizes my workaround for this issue. I've been using VLC to pre-transcode movie videos for at least the past year. (Before I add marquees to my transcoded, I used Handbrake to transcode, b...

Did you change your DPI settings? Ah, ha! No, I don't recall ever changing that. Near as I can remember, my laptop came with these DPI settings. But, yes, that indeed 'fixes' [works around] the issue! [For anyone who hasn't found these "DPI" settings, for Windows-7, here's the recipe:] Ri...

Ok, I have another machine, with different screen resolution, and I do NOT see the problem there. So, the one where I DO have a problem is 1366 x 768 And, this new one, where there is NO problem is 1280 x 1024. So, my guess would be that maybe a vertical of only 768 doesn't cut it. Maybe the minimum...

I can again confirm that I too do see this problem in 2.1.2, where the preferences page can't be fully viewed. It has also come to my attn that some (many?) ppl are not seeing the problem. e.g. I chatted with a person yesterday, who does not encounter the problem. I have a hunch that this may relate...

1) What appears to be a show-stopper bug: namely, when you bring up 'preferences' dialog, the screen layout is bigger than my desktop-screen can handle! i.e. so I can't reach buttons near the bottom, etc, and see no way to re-size the dialog-window. :roll: noticed that in VM :-| But, you gotta admi...
