I finally found
THE RIGHT VERSION OF NIGHTLY BUILD(2.0.6) that remembers your saved eq and compressor presets, after exiting, when opening a file from the windows explorer, and everything. It took me A LONG TIME to finally find one that wasnt buggy and actually remembers the presets. Just go here
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D, or google "vlc nightly builds" and make sure to get the latest version of 2.0.6 . This is important, heres a link for 32 bit windows exe
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe If you dont know how to save presets, goto Tools > Preferences then click "All" on the bottom left, then Audio > Filters and you should figure it out from there. Hopefully this helps, I had to find the solution myself with lots of trial and error. Every version seems to have different bugs where one setting doesn't save, or saves until you open a file directly from windows explorer and not through the VLC open dialog.
