I've started numerous movies on VLC which play perfectly until about 10 or 20 minutes into the movie (it varies with each VCD) when the movie stops (the display window quits, but VLC and the controller stay open, and continue to work). VLC won't fast forward past the time when the VCD quits. Looking at the "messages" window shows that something is definitely happening. Would it help to post the text that shows up in that message box?
I have downloaded 8.2 but the same thing happened. I've reset my preferences, but it didn't help.
My neighbour also has this same problem with VCD's. This only happens with VCDs, not DVDs or dowloaded video files. These VCDs are rented from Blockbuster in Taiwan. We are both using MacOSX.
Any ideas?
