Thanks for the information about this being a registered bug. Unfortunlately I cannot use your suggested workaround as I record almost 24/7 and really can't rescan all the files. VLC's habit of reading the wrong length is not related to one or two files, but is consistent to all my recordings. It do...

bump.

If you would like to see an example you could download one from vvv.observer.no/morten/lowQuality.mpg (yes, the single v's are correct)

The files are MPEG2. VideoInspector says the video codec is "MPEG 2" and audio codec is MPEG 1 layer 2, VLC says the codec is mpegv/mpega. The files has been recorded with GBRecord.exe using the "Low quality" profile. The recording source is Hauppauge PVR500. I could provide you ...

Really, am I the only one who experience this? Can someone, anyone, please either confirm or deny this

Noone?

When I open a recording in VLC Windows Client (v0.8.4.release) the client tells me that this recording is 16 minutes and 38 seconds (16:38). If I open the same recording with the activeX component, it says (after some fiddeling to get the length) that the recording is 998 seconds, which also should ...

Yes it is. See the activex component and the test.html example file

Is there a way to have VLC (especially the activeX component) to play in x2, x4 or x8 speed with the sound enabled?

Well, now I usually manages to get the length information. Unfortunelately it's not a very stable routine as I have to keep trying to get the info after starting to play the file. If I ask for the value after I've loaded the file and set the player on pause it only responds with -20. Most of the tim...

Hi Is there a way that I can configure the vlc activeX components settings from within VB? As of now I've managed to add a button to my program to take snapshots, but I can't figure out how I can configure the path and filetype for my snapshots from within VB Can this be done with some GetVariable /...

So there actually isn't a way to get the correct length of the file through the activeX component then?

Thanks, found it.

Now, what format is the number in ? I' opening a file that is 02:00:01 in length and .length reports 4150 ??

I think that what he wants is that the play button would always play in 1x speed no matter how many times you have pressed "faster" or "slower" and I actually agree with him. It makes much more sence that the "play" button would play in normal speed.

Also, it seems to me that the property .Lenght() is missing when I'm using the ActiveX component in VB6. I see that it works in the test.html file but there is no .Length property in VB's object browser. Is there anyone who knows how to get the length of the movie/recording in VB? (version 0.8.4 rel...

I have the activex control embedded in VB6 and working. I am trying to set the options array for various features and functions and have found some (many) that do not work. ":f" does not work but ":fullscreen" does; Hi, could you apply an example on how you have gotten the "...
