Hi,

I apologize in advance if my question is stupid or has been answered 1000 times. I didn't find it. Maybe I searched the wrong keywords.
I'm new to VLC.

I'm catching a video stream through an S-Video cable and a frame grabber from an ultrasound device in a physician's practice, to save stills
for documentation.

However, the images are not half as good as on the screen of the ultrasound.

I tried to play around with the parameters like contrast, etc. and it worked quite well.
I would like to save these settings since the personnel in the practice are not capable of setting it all again.


But I couldn't manage it somehow.
Is there a trick to save these settings?

Mac Mini M2, mac OS 13.6.2 (Ventura)

VLC Media player actual revision.

I would appreciate any help or hint.

Thanks in Advance!

You should be able to save it as a profile. See the selector at the bottom of the video effects panel to "duplicate" and enable the checkbox to reenable that profile on the next launch. Does that solve your problem?

Thanks for the answer. I will check it. The practice is closed due to holidays.
Come back with results...

Hi!
I was able to test it and it works. But....

In medicine documentation is key.
We use this solution to take snapshot images to store them in patient files.

But the snapshot is not taken from the screen, where the corrected image is shown. Instead, the snapshot is taken from the uncorrected stream via S-Video and frame grabber.
So again, we are saving the bad image and not the good one that we see.

Is there a solution to that problem?

Best,
Brennabor

Can you disable hardware decoding in the Video category of VLC's preferences? does that help?
