I have a few DVDs that provide multi angle options in their menus. When I choose any of the angles, VLC player always crashes with the following error: Runtime Error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more ...

This looks like a very popular thread and is the first website that appeared when I searched Google for help, so I am adding my experiences here in hopes that it will help someone out. My computer: Windows 7, 64 bit VLC Media Player 2.1.2 Rincewind (Zip package), 32 bit When I first tried to play my...

Intended?

Oh, so the 64-bit version only officially came out of "experimental" a few months ago. No wonder I didn't notice.

I like this:

More bugs, more Ram, and a bit faster.

but not in x64 7z file

I'm going to sound like a total idiot, but I never noticed that a 64-bit version existed. And I use Windows 7 64-bit too!

Hello again. I just downloaded VLC 2.1.3 (vlc-2.1.3-win32.zip) and I want to alert the developers that spad-setup.exe is still there.

What exactly is spad-setup.exe anyway? I don't like downloading .exe files that I am unfamiliar with.

Thank you for the reply, but I'm afraid that I'm a little confused by your comment. What do I need to register, and why is it messed up? While we wait for 2.1.0, what should I do with that file? Delete it? Or should I redownload VLC 2.0.7? Sorry for the newbie questions.

Thanks again, VLC_help. I haven't touched the Set up associations part. For anybody else who's following this saga, I've been testing out and playing different file types to see if anything changes outside the player's folder. So far, not much new's been happening, but I did find out that playing a ...

Thanks, VLC_help. If the player must change stuff outside of its own folder, I'm glad %appdata%\vlc is the only place it's happening. Am I right in guessing that the player doesn't make any changes in the registry? Oh, I also discovered that a prefetch file gets made in %windir%\prefetch, but I gues...

Hi, everybody! I'm new too! Nice to meet you all. I had no idea the VLC community was so large!

Hello. I downloaded VLC Player 1.1.5 "Windows zip packages (No installer needed)", choosing this version because I like the idea of not needing to install anything and being able to carry the folder with me anywhere using a USB drive. I thought using the zip version would mean that all of ...
