Try deleting the VLC preferences. Use the Apple script, Delete_Preferences, in the Goodies folder.

Been having pretty good luck with the 4/21/2008 release on OS X 10.5.2. It does frame grabs from DVDs, which is one of my main reasons for using it. And it inserts the time code into the file name correctly, which previous versions had not done. Yes!

But there is one problem with the frame grabs and it relates to the previously noted problem with access to advanced options. When you do a grab, it displays a preview of the grab that fills the entire image while the DVD continues to play. In previous version, this preview was just a thumbnail in the upper left corner of the frame and thus one could continue to see the DVD as it played.

Since it takes 4-5 seconds for the preview to fade out, it makes it difficult to do several quick grabs in a row (and see what you're grabbing).

I seem to recall an advanced option that lets you turn off the preview entirely, but since I can't get to the advanced options with this release I can't look for it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

THe nightlies are gone again!
Apparently a number of builds (including Mac OS X Intel and PPC) failed during the Build Contribs part.

For example, see http://buildbot.videolan.org/builders/N ... logs/stdio
/usr/bin/curl -L -O http://files2.musepack.net/source/libmp ... .6.tar.bz2

curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
make[1]: *** [libmpcdec-1.2.6.tar.bz2] Error 7
make: *** [src] Error 2
program finished with exit code 2
It looks like an easy fix because http://files.musepack.net/source/libmpc ... .6.tar.bz2 works just fine but files2.musepack.net doesn't.

Maybe the problems with the nightlies are due to some parasites. :D

I do agree with Parasite that the a52 does not work. Both from DVD and from AVI, MKV files.

Can you see anything beyond the Audio settings in preferences? When I try to pull up preferences within Video, Input/Codecs, etc., it's just blank.

And the issue is the same with today's most recent build (vlc-git-intel-20080519-0140).

I just tried the preferences with build of 21 May 2008. I access all preferences without problems. For some options to be available you need to go to advanced mode. For just a few of these it is blank, e.g. video output caca. But then for the latter option I don;t know what it is anyway. In some languages caca is sh!t. :D

The nightlies are gone again. Last one was on 21 May 2008. Hope when it comes back again we get audio for a52.

Does anyone know why the preferences can't be accesed? I would like to test (HE-)AAC to AC3 on the fly. Can't wait for it to work.

Let's hope that the audio and the preferences work when the nightlies are back.

The new builds will be called "Return of the nightlies"....
