The VideoLAN Forums

thank you, The DJ.

on that ftp I can already see some mkv files, anime (jap) movies, those beginning with [Shinsen-Subs]; I guess my mkv files might be encoded like those ones.

tonight I'll try and upload one of my files, though.

search in the registry for those entries, and delete them

any deeeevs out there?

0.8.4a released, but same error
also with the latest nightlies I can't properly play mkv files

that's what I wonder myself.. anyway, there's an annoying but with playing mkv files. try the following 1) open an mkv file 2) the video won't run, just the audio..so (I'm traslating, my gui is in Italian) Video -> video trace -> disable 3) re-enable it --> VLC will crash :? can you reproduce that, ...

up.

no dev's answering?

up.

c'mon guys, many of us are bothered by this problem

could you try with 0.8.4 final ?

tried. with the same negative result!

isn't there any workaround? why does it happens? hasn't support for mkv's been tested enough?

thanks a lot!

where did you download that? do you have a link, please?

The Windows version of VLC has an entry in the Start Menu that completely resets your VLC setup. It is called: "Reset VLC defaults and quit."

Where do I find that? I use the standalone version of VLC (no install)

VLC, in general, has problem playing MKV files (matroska) (related also to this thread ) 0.8.4 test 3: audio runs smoothly, video hangs after a few frames; then VLC crashes 0.8.4 test 2: the file is not played, the bar just reach its final point in a few seconds 0.8.2: just the audio is played. if I...

test3 is 'newer'. some minutes or so

thank you

thank you.

so, the files in the 0.8.4 folder are quite the same of those of test3?

ok, my problem seemed to be solved, but it's not unfortunately.
I set the default locations in the options..but when I press the play button, VLC goes and search the dvd in the X drive!

how can that be?

please help!

what about this folder on the ftp?
http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... 8.4/win32/

it seems to keep the 0.8.4 version of VLC

is that possible?

ok, sorry guys, 1st post yet this is an autoreply..it seems I had not searched thoroughly enough

so I guess
Input/Codecs -> General
is the right place to set one's preferences for the default devices

I have 3 on my explorer: X (virtual one), Y and Z

and VLC has X as the default one

where can I go and tell him to use Z?

I searched through the options but could find anything suitable

thanks a lot for your help
