The VideoLAN Forums

:lol: Use long descriptive filenames… I do. For Video… My app can use the filename to determine the part of the video I want to see. Without that feature.. You are scrolling through the video just like you would pictures. the FN contains the start point, duration, speed, repeat, freeze and much more...

To ignore this incredible feature is shortsighted.

My app determines the video thumbnail from the FN
ie start point, duration, speed, repeat, freeze and more.

Every player should easily be able to implement this WOW feature.

It sure would be nice for VideoLAN to implement the thumbnail feature My video app has.
It is quit simple and the code is available.. at

I'd occasionally see the BLACK screen with my custom video player.. I had to add a begin== point so the play back would be running... Before the Slow motion kicked in.. and the longer the video the more seconds needed. Maybe include a short segment of the same video right before?? photo d:\test fold...

Using the details in the Long FileName.. This app can determine the start position and duration of a mini ThumbNail Along with speed, Again to repeat, freeze to wait after play Pause and continue so the the File remains open for another segment right after. The len=262260 ( for 262 seconds) speeds u...

A single picture can't represent a video, like a short 2 or 3 second segment can. The thumbnail segment is found in the mpg filename like this. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksdXXbcZKxU[/url] When the video name has the start and play length and speed in them.. You have something... A quick c...

Use Long detailed FileNames
My app can even determine the play segment for the video ThumbNail... From the filename.. Yup
Use long filenames is bright smart good intelligent.

GeoLocations are good too.

The new budge feature is truly something.. Like a wildly vibrating progress bar replaying segments.. Weird.

This video demonstrates how easy RANDOM non-linear playback is. Video without commentary soon loses its relevance.

Nobody comes even close to organizing their digital media as well as I do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzULqlf8598 Being able to randomly play a grouping of large text along with the associated segment of a video can't be done by any app but this. It's the APP that makes one Operating System bett...

I'm doing that with my Custom MultiMedia player. The app only works for PCs. It's a great way to test out the changes before I burn them for DVD distribution. My solution is to have the video with the latest features run on my PC and video capture that. Then burn the results for TV DVD players (on a...

First I catalog all the songs or video on a drive or folder. This creates 2 lines of text for each. The first being the search criteria. For mp3 is uses the metadata and or file path. The 2nd line is the path to the song or video. The app generates a random number between 1 and the end of the text f...

Video without RANDOM gets boring fast. Don't give up on it. I have shot over 10,000 MPEG videos most of which are under 2 minutes. You lose touch with your videos unless you can randomly sample them. My Search Engine / Multimedia Player can pick a random video then a random start point and play for ...

Download the video from archive.org 20 mins plus 99MB file download the control file for the timeline playback download and rename the most recent exe the steps and links are here: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/stonedan/fast_flyer...

Want to see some Faster Than Sight action in slow motion? Here is how... http://www.archive.org/details/demo85-pict7 Download this 101MB file to a USB stick (it could take 1/2 hour or more) place this small text file on the same USB stick. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/stonedan/mpeg_videosmix.tx...

Good going with this option VideoLAN Most forums are strictly all about the registrations and nothing else. Obviously not with you guys. I've been banned on trapline forums for saying "Fish Cops are not our friends". Any hunter or trapper would agree with me and laugh at the idea but not t...

I'll start working on playing in reverse today. That way I can better show off the Faster Than Sight objects I have been videoing. When software is this good, you can do things that are totally unexpected... Grab a copy now and later with the new updates. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/stonedan/s...

has anybody more info about the VLC? i need the best player!... A minor change here and there just keeps moving this video player ahead. EXAMPLE: Skateboarder jumps 6 steps. Tell the video to start 3 seconds before the jump at full speed. Then right before the steps switch to super slow motion. Rig...

There is little doubt that mpeg has become the standard video format on the net and home video. Waaay back (2002) when this app's video capabilities were being added; Mpeg gave you the ability to start and stop play anywhere in a clip. For that reason Mpg format became the focus. (Avi Wmv and Vob) v...
